"Sup guys!" Grizel greeted her 'bestfriends'.
"Ah, hello." The meek and quiet Renalyn who claims that she's a bad girl in their residence.
"Hmm," Grizel's number one bestfriend Lichelle, the 'normal' person who belongs the the lower-middle part of the school's social pyramid.
"Cereno!" and Patricia, the socialite. Grizel even sometimes wonder how did someone like Patricia manage to come in their section, the star section. It is normally called Section 1 though.
Patricia was excited at seeing Grizel as if seeing a saviour.
"Cereno, did you have a homework?"
"Wait."
"Sure sure, take your time."
Grizel took a blue spring notebook and handed it to Patricia in which she quickly grabbed and immediately return to her seat.
"Don't copy the exact words. Change the structure of the sentences. Also, re-arrange their sequences. If you can, use another term if the word." Grizel started her usual chant.
"Yes, yes. Don't worry, I won't copy all of it. I'm going to write the wrong answer in some. In case Ma'am Febon called me for recitation. That would be a nightmare!"
Grizel hanged her bag on the chair in front of her. She decided to talk to her friends first as the class is still a bit away.
"Hey guys. What did you do yesterday? It was April Fool's."
"It was just a usual day for us as we never really pay attention to it as well as Halloween too." Renalyn.
"Hmm.. my brother took my phone and deleted my apps. I had to redownload them and save my books for offline reading." Lichelle.
"Mom put something in our toothpaste. I don't have an idea what is it but it taste disgusting." Patricia responded while not stopping in her copying.
"You?" Lichelle.
"I ordered someone to be my boyfriend." Grizel smiled proudly at her antics.
"At least it vibed down." Lichelle
"Oh my Cereno! Were you ill?" Patricia.
"Yes, love sickness."
Lichelle and Patricia immediately make a vomiting expression. Renalyn laughed quietly at the scene.
"Context please?" Patricia.
Grizel stopped and quieted down. She hasn't seen the 'on-site' response of Dylan so she can't really be sure of the details. She still wants her face.
She doesn't want to repeat what happen to Joshua. He asked Grizel to be his 'bhabe' (cringe worthy call name) and even obtained a 'pass' from Grizel's 'momma' in school. Thalia isn't Grizel's real mother as she and Grizel were less than a year apart from other.
It's just an endearing in their group of friends were, it was basically a group, a semi-organisation where friends (members) treat each other as family thus they have they own position. Grizel's position is being Thalia's 'daughter'. It wasn't anything serious, if anything most of the, are just searching for sense of existence as the 'School Family' consist of well'known people in the school.
Joshua and Grizel were merely chatmates that time as it was school vacation and there's no way Grizel's mother will let her go out with her classmates. Joshua then transferred school and Grizel who was waiting for the official announcement of their relationship was poured cold water all over when Joshua's friend said that Josh was just joking.
Ha-ha.
Joshua apparently didn't believe that Grizel would take it seriously.
[So those compliments, late night talks, video calls are just jokes? I even endured his cringey call name!]
Now, Grizel requires confirmation. Thorough confirmation where he can no longer say that it was just a 'joke'.
"Grizel."
Grizel stiffened at Dylan's voice. She doesn't want to face him as she's afraid that she would fail to control her expression.
"Why?" Grizel acted as if she's annoyed of Dylan butting in in her conversation with her friends.
"I prepared you a snack. Well, it's a light meal as I know that snack means a meal to you."
"Eh eh, what's the event?" Patricia while writing.
"None, I just want prepare food for my girlfriend."
"LUUUUUUUHH?!" those who heard Dylan exclaimed. Dylan's voice was not low either.
Grizel unhappily glared at her classmates, "Got a problem?" They immediately avoided Grizel's glare.
"We were just shocked that you guys are now together." Elise, our class president.
Dylan smiled to Grizel and seat at the still vacant chair behind Grizel.
"For real? Cereno is in an official relationship?" Patricia who now stopped writing.
"Yep."
"Gasp! Top Ten Anime Betrayals!" Patricia who was from a recent break up with a role player.
---------------
"DO you have any problem?" Grizel asked for a confirmation.
"No, you're the one who has the power to choose Grizel."
"Hmph, come on."
And thus they entered the Hunted House in the amusement park.
Yep their choice for their first ever date is a date on a hunted house.
"Do you want to hold my hand?" Dylan offered with a harmless smile.
"My hand is more beautiful." Grizel boasted but anyway interwined her fingers with Dylan's hand.
Screams were erupting in their background as they continue to walk in a leisurely phase.
"KYAAH!"
Grizel stuffed a tissue in the mouth of the ghost who was shouting. The woman's shrill in bloody clothes instantly ceased.
"ACK!"
The hand of the corpse who tried to grab Dylan's feet was stomped by him. The male corpse immediately groaned.
"EH?!"
When Grizel saw that there was a coffin, she knew that something/someone will suddenly rise when they pass by it so she closed it in advance causing the 'dead' person to bump his head.
"WHAT?!"
Grizel took out the emergency (flash)light from her bag after the remaining lights was turned off. She forgot to take it out of her bag when they used it in the play, thus making it show it's use this moment.
"EEK!"
Dylan only stepped aside when the running 'ghost' was about to bump into him causing him unable to control her speed and fall straight to the floor due ti inertia.
"....."
Grizel took out a few coins and placed it on the bowl of the blind (eyeless) ghost.
"Haunted houses lacks creativity now, huh." Grizel complained to Dylan.
"Well, spending time with my love will be more fun than visiting such places."
"....."
"Nice one, Dylan but practice more."
"....okay."
"Anyway, I'm happy. Here's your kiss, my boyfriend."
Grizel's lips lightly touched Dylan's.
