"Uh…, Little Monster, get down. I'll hold you up later…"
My left shoulder was aching so badly that anyone could see it clearly on my face. I felt a hand on my right shoulder and then I got to know that it was my Mom. I can easily figure out the worry on her face.
"Moon…, is everything alright? What happened to you suddenly?"
"Haha. Mom, I'm fine."
I never want my Mom to know anything about my shoulder pain and also… About that… I accepted to be Tangwen's (Cherry) girlfriend. Just by thinking about it, I began feeling so awkward and uncomfortable. I'm damn sure if she comes to know about this she will literally kill me.
"Fine then. Let's have dinner now!"
"Sure, Mom."
__
The sun had risen well and I was on my way to school, thinking about the unexpected confession from Tangwen (Cherry). Even while confessing her feelings she was blushing a lot and just kept her eyes down until she brought the word girlfriend up at the end of the sentence. And wait, why the hell am I smiling thinking about stupid Tangwen? Anyhow, I'm just gonna use her as per to complete my task of reaching the Alfie family.
Don't let yourself fall for me, Tangwen.
"Hey, Moon." I stopped as I heard someone calling out my name. I was glancing here and there in the search for that person. "I'm just behind you, Moon." I immediately turned back. Carl Edwin? After a long day, I'm meeting him again. What a surprise. I flashed.
"Hey, Carl. How have you been these days?"
"Oh, Moon. I missed you so badly. Whenever I would come to see you and search for you everywhere, I couldn't find you at all… but when I find you I often see you with Cherry only. Hmm…"
You missed me so badly? And even looked for me everywhere? Oh my god, that gloomy face doesn't match his heroic character at all. Dude, don't tell me that you have fallen for me already. I will give you a guarantee that you are gonna regret it a lot in the future if you keep on falling for me.
I patted his cheek gently. Oh my, he lifted his face and pouted his face like a baby. God, how cute of him! I unexpectedly beamed out as I found him behaving cutely in front of me. Wow, I do really fall for you if you would be a girl and myself as a guy. For sure, I would date you!
"Your goddesses are gonna be jealous if you act so cute in front of me, Carl," I said with a light smile.
"Never mind, I just need you to smile like this no matter if it costs my face."
Oh my goodness! How come he started acting like this? Damn, he is cute. Goddamn, I couldn't stop myself from smiling! That cute eyes, attractive lips, ruddy cheeks, light-colored brows, small nose, and natural black hair. I never thought of describing him but he is damn cute, Bro! Ah. Touched it~
"From when you began flirting with me, Carl…!"
"From the day I caught you up in my vision, Moon. You damn touched me."
Here comes out his heroic character. Full of pickup lines, well, never fall for this dude. Though his words sound romantic but actual matters only he does know. He would always be rounded by girls like a magnet, of course. But mysteriously I never got to hear about any of his love relations. Not even about his crushes. Who wants to figure out about this playboy though?
"Throw your pickup lines on your fans, not on me, Mr. Crackhead."
I said, pronouncing every single word for him. And just disappeared like air. Maybe I shouldn't call it a great morning when I noticed Tangwen Alfie standing near the gateway and throwing deadly glares at me. Oh god, what's up to her now? Did she wake up in a bad mood or what?
"What are you looking at, Cherry?"
She narrowed her eyes and criss-crossed her hands with a humph on her face. Taking heavy steps she made the distance between us so less. With a raised brow I just stood there looking at her.
She patted her face and said
"Your goddesses are gonna be jealous if you act so cute in front of me, Carl…!!! From when you began flirting with me, Carl…!!!"
F**k! She had seen everything, ha? The way she was screaming and saying it brought me to the conclusion that she is jealous. How did you manage to escape from my sight and eavesdrop on me and Carl, My dear Tangwen.?
Well, you are so cute when you're jealous. I will continue with this then. I smirked at myself and looked so calmly into her eyes. I slid my head to another side and gave a short smile at her childish behavior.
"Cherry, stop it now. Come come, let's go to the class we are getting late!"
I didn't let her spell a word out of her mouth. I immediately grabbed her and dragged her to class. If I let her repeat the dialogues of mine and Carl then for sure there's no doubt of making a great drama on the spot. She's a drama queen, Bro. It's damn hard to handle a drama queen!
Well, I had already guessed this astonished expression from all the students when they saw two enemies suddenly turn together. My hand was on Tangwen's shoulder and her hand was around my waist so of course, this thing gave a thunderstruck to every student present over there. Hayya, please just stop looking at us with such disgusting faces. I never thought… I never even dreamed of it happening today, god. I think… No no not think. Now it's my turn to get a thunderstorm. I was like dead while alive when I discovered Yeran standing at my place and just glaring at me without even blinking..! When our eyes met, I just did nothing but blinked my eyes thousands of times in shock of course. Goddamn! God god, save me…!!!
"Hey, Moon! Why did you push me away?"
Then what do you expect from me when I see my Bestie in front of my eyes with her dead glares? If Yeran sees me with Tangwen she would shout at me like anything then what if she comes to know that I accepted her proposal? Oh god, I'm damn sure she will dig my grave on the spot. It's better to bear her yells than face her high-level anger. Gosh, I can't even imagine that horrible death scene of mine!! Wah! What am I supposed to do now?
"MOON FOWLER!"
OMG! She's calling my name! She even began running toward me!! I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone! We honestly declare that a young girl, Moon Fowler, had been killed by her Bestie Yeran White. We are so sorry for not saving a soul. We happily say to you, rest in peace, Moon Fowler. The end.
"Idiot, you're not dead yet, ok. Don't act like you're dead already."
"Aah. But you hit me so hard, Yeran. It hurts, Idiot."
She stood up from my body and abruptly pulled me up by my collar. Ah. Why so stiff? By then, I found myself on the ground. Thank god, I'm still alive~ I was looking here and there in search of the infirmary. My friend Yeran, you shouldn't have hit me this badly. What if I had fainted?
Then I noticed a guy coming towards us. This guy looks familiar… But I couldn't recall where I had seen him. Whatever, never mind.
"Yeran. Lu Yong is looking for you."
"Ey, Baby. Stay over here, I will be back soon." I said nothing and just nodded my head. Well, what would I even say at that time? I was in pain eventually. See how calmly she just left me in aches. Idiot! That's the reason why I call you Idiot and it's even the reason for not raising my hand at you.
Ha. What can I even do? I settled on the bench and laid my head back on the bench. My eyes were straight on the orange sky and dusty clouds. In them all, I noticed something cute. One of the clouds was in the shape of a heart where I noticed the feeling of Yeran, Carl, and also Tangwen. Weird, isn't it?
