Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Finally, it's Friday.

"Sir Nico is so handsome" Hailey whispered to me while looking at our history teacher … Sir Nico.

"Hmm" I agree.Sir Nico is one of the new teachers here. He's just 26 years old, but he looks younger than his age. He's really handsome….

"Girl, she's looking at you" Hailey whispered to me.

I looked at sir Nico,and Hailey's right.He's looking at me.And the next thing I knew is that, I'm in the front now and answering on the board!

"Answer that equation, Miss Gonzales!"

I bit my lower lip out of nervous.

After I solved the equation I looked at Sir Nico.

"I-i-I'm done" I answered shyly.

He looked at my answer before sighing.

"It's correct..good job Miss Gonzales"

I immediately smiled.

"But you still need to pay attention on the class"

I nodded and went back to my seat.

"Omg, I'm so proud of you" Hailey shook my arm so I laughed.

After our morning class, Hailey and I went to the cafeteria together. She also told to not order anymore because she said that she has a packed lunch for us.

"Do you like sushi, Rei?" Hailey asked me while opening her big lunchbox.

"Yeah" I smiled.

She also smiled and took out the food in his lunchbox. "Tadaa ~"

"I told my nanny to packed a lot of Japanese foods for lunch so we can share hihi"

I..don't know what to say ..

Why is she doing this?

We're..just..c-classmates ..? Right?

"Why do you seem to be crying?" She asked worriedly.

I averted my eyes and wiped my eyes.

"N-no ..."

"Let's eat now" She smiled.

"I'll just order" I was about to get up when she looked at me.

"No! Let's share oh, please?"

I sighed and went back to sitting.

And just like she wanted, we shared lunch together. I can say that this was probably the happiest school lunch of my whole high school life. While eating, we just laughed together while talking. By the way,while we were talking, she didn't notice that she already put a lot of wasabi in her food, so when she took a bite into it, she almost cried because it was really spicy. I even called Chase because of that.

And now we are in the clinic because of what happened to Hailey.

"Huhuhu, my baby..My lips really hurts a lot"

"Darn ..."

I frowned while looking at the lovebirds. Hailey and Chase.

Hailey glared at me as if saying that I should leave because it's their time,for the both of them. I rolled my eyes at her and went back to the classroom. Tsh, I hope her lips got burned..kidding!lol.

All day I just listened to our Teacher. Actually I was called on our recitation a while ago.But I told to the teacher that I'm still new here and I still can't catch up to the lessons.And with that,the teacher spared me.There is also an advantage on being a transferee huh? But I just used that 'transferee-card' because I really need it huhu. I won't do it again, sorry !!

Now, I'm going to the clinic to visit Hailey. Actually Miss Sunny just ordered me to check her and pick her up if she's already okay.

"Hello" I greeted the school nurse when I entered the clinic.

I was surprised to notice that Hailey was not in the clinic bed.

"Where is Hailey? the woman who was here before?" I asked the school nurse.

"She already left. With Chase"

My forehead frowned.

I was about to leave when the school nurse called me again.

"Are you Yuan's girlfriend?"

I was immediately stunned by his question.

"H-huh?"

She laughed at my reaction.

"I am Yeri..Yuan's cousin"

My eyes widened. "H-hello!"

I remembered what Yuan told me the other day.

"So? Are you his girlfriend?" She smirked as if she's teasing me.

"No Miss--"

"Shh..no need to use honorifics to me..I'm just 2 years older than you" She winked at me.

"But are you sure you and Yuan are not..… you know .." She put both of his index fingers together.

"No!" I frowned a little.

"Aww that's sad.You guys look good together"

I just faked a laugh before finally leaving the clinic. I was going back to the classroom, when someone pulled me to the bottom of the stairs.

"Ouch—"

"Are you Hailey's bestfriend?"

Wait… She seems familiar to me..Ah! She's the eveil-looking girl I bumped into, on my first day here!

"Answer me, newbie" She pulled the collar of my blouse and brought her face close to mine. Her eyes were full of anger.

"I-it hurts" I winced because I'm choking on what she was doing.

Suddenly the memories I wanted to forget came back to me. How I was treated by what I thought were my friends. How my life became hell because of them.

"Are you friends with Hailey ?!"

"No .." I don't know why that came out of my mouth.

I'm scared ..

She let go of me and pushed me.And that made my arm hit the floor.

I saw how her lips formed into a smirk before turning to someone.

"Heard that, Hailey?" She's smirking to the person who's watching us.

Gradually my eyes widened as I looked at Hailey whose eyes were now full of anger and sadness staring at me.

I did not speak and averted my eyes.

They disappeared from my sight at once.

I hid under the stairs and covered my face with my palm. And at the same time my tears are falling down.

W-why am I like this?

Shouldn't I take care of myself and not immediately trust others? Shouldn't I be happy because she won't be around me anymore?

But why am I crying?

When the school ended I went to West's section to hand over Hailey's notes.

"Are you okay, Rei?" When West was about to touched my face, I immediately slapped his hand. We were both surprised by what I did.

"P-please give it to hailey" I said quickly as I handed Hailey's notes to him and I quickly left.

I was surprised to see Yuan waiting at the school gate. When he saw me, he immediately took off his headphones and let it hang around his neck.

His forehead furrowed slightly when he saw my face.

My mind is confused ..

I feel like I want to cry.

But no, why would I cry over such things? Ha ha.

"Are you sick?"

I didn't answer and quickly walked away from him. But he immediately chased me.

"What happened?"

"Stop asking" I said angrily.

"But—"

"Why do you always hang-out with me ?! Why do you always act like you care ?! Why are you acting like we are fucking friends when we're not !! I don't want to be friends with you! I hate people like you the most! " I said angrily.

But it was as if my anger suddenly disappeared when I saw his reaction. His expression turned cold as he looked at me.

"Right" was all he answered before finally walking away.

My knees weakened and at the same time my tears flowed which I had been holding back.

What is happening to me?
