Chereads / The Pen Pal Paradox / Chapter 4 - Got you

Chapter 4 - Got you

Next day at school,

Ouch! Kifayat bumped her head into the class door before entering the class.

"Open your eyes while walking at least." Saba scolded Kifayat.

"Hahaha .. Kifayat, You are sleepwalking at day time. Did you went to steal last night that you lost sleep? " Lia joked.

It's all because of those letters she read last night that she lost sleep.

"I just slept a little late. Besides can't you guys comfort me a little? I just got hurt." Kifayat said while rubbing her template.

All the three looked at Kifayat as if saying with their eyes, you deserve it.

"Forget it. How am supposed to live in this cruel world where my friends doesn't even care about me." Kifayat exaggerated her situation.

Because although her friends yelled at her for not being careful, they still checked if she has gotten any wound.

'It's just your forehead became a little red. No need to act like you are dying."

Well.. Kifayat shrugged her shoulders, "Thanks to this bump I am completely awaken now."

Cyra said, " Wow, I didn't know you would wake up easily after getting hurt. Next time you oversleep, how about we beat you up to awake?"

"Pfft! Well said, Cyra. It's a good idea." Lia and Saba couldn't help but laughing.

"You!! Why would people need enemy if they have friends like you?" Kifayat rolled her eyes at them.

"Hahaha..."

"Ehm.... Let's get back to work now. Do you remember the plan? I and Cyra have to in front line in PT class, so we can't go before the class is finished. During the flag rising, teacher doesn't pay much attention to students. Keep an eye on the person, who tries to escape. Lia should come back from the infirmary at that time."

"But I have a question? Why am I the one who always pretends to be sick ?"

Kifayat, Saba and Cyra exchanged glances with each other. Although Lia looks quite beautiful with short curly hair and fair skin but she is too thin.

It's because she always tries to follow the so called celebrity diets even though she doesn't need to be anymore thin. Besides she always makes weird haircut which make her looks like a crazy girl.

Sometimes her hairstyles even frightened the teacher. Her disshelved hair coupled with her thin stature, One would easily believe that she is sick or frustrated.

Kifayat thought for a while before saying trying to sound as natural as possible.

"Maybe it is because you look very delicate and frail, the teacher would believe easily,"

"Yes, yes it's not because we think you are too thin that you can fly away with wind or because of your hairstyles that makes you look like crazy person," Saba also blurted out her reason.

"You definitely think that!!!. How dare you think my haircut is bad." Lia immediately started to run after Saba and made trouble.

"Sorry, sorry~~ but it's not only me, Kifayat and and Cyra thought so too."

Lia questioned Cyra and Kifayat too. "You also think this hairstyle doesn't suit me!?"

Kifayat and Cyra started looking around. "I think it's time to go to the PT, right Cyra."

"Yes. Let's go otherwise we might be late." Then the two of them slipped outside.

"You two stop." Lia shouted angrily.

"Look, I told you so."

Lia said a little sadly, "Does it look that bad"

:-(

"It's okay, don't worry. Kifayat told me she has bought some hair suppliements for you a few days ago. It will help you grow your hair sooner."

"You!!Get lost." Saba also run off.

I think I should use the hair suppliements, Lia muttered .

In the empty classroom, only the clocks ticking can be heard. Asif who somehow managed to came to class while escaping the PT. He nervously took out a letter from his pocket and before he could put the letter on desk, someone placed their hands on his shoulder.

"Got you." Lia laughed evilly.

"Aahhh!! Youuu....?! How came now?" Asif stuttered.

Asif is the boy whom Kifayat and Saba saw on the monitoring yesterday. This boy has

a special ability that he is too simple and kind. He would also get scared very easily and his biggest fear are girls.

Because of his nature he was often took advantage of or made fun of by others. Also got scolded by the teacher a lot. Seeing this boy who is even afraid to look at girls trying to deliver a love letter to the most popular girl in class is more than shocking.

"I am so...sorry! I apologizeeee," Asif was scared to death by Lia especially when Lia looked at him with such cold eyes.

"So you are the one who wrote the letters,"

"No, no I didn't write any letter."

"Don't lie, I clearly saw you putting the letter on Kifayats desk." Saba entered the room just as Lia started questioning Asif.

"But I did not put the letter yet."

"So you wanted to put a letter on my desk right."

Asif's eyes got bigger when he saw Kifayat entering the classroom. "How did you come so fast?"

"That's none of your business," Lia answered Asif while helping him to stand up.

Kifayat suggested to go outside as more people are coming to class now. It will not be appropriate to question Asif here.

"I know you did not do it on your own but if you tell us the truth, we will let you off. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Asif asked with doubt.

"What else, I would need to tell the teacher that you have a puppy love."

"No absolutely not, you can not damage my reputation like that."

"Hey, liking the most popular girl in school, how does that damege your reputation?"

"Of course, Mom said, I can only fall in love when I am in college. Otherwise my reputation will be lost. My future wife would despise me. I will never be able to get married." Asif said while crying.

Lia was surprised, "You believed that?!"

"Why not? My mother would never lie to me."

Kifayat smiled. "What auntie said is right. Your future wife will be definitely disappointed in you if she knew that you sent a love letter to another girl. So can you tell the truth. I promise to not tell others."

"I..... " Asif hesitated.

"Why are you hesitating? If you don't tell, don't think I will let you off easily." Saba threatened in a cold tone.

Everyone in school knows about how strong Saba is. Asif is no exceptions.

"I will tell, I will tell. Don't beat me."

"That good boy. Meet with us after the school ends at the Cafeteria. And don't even think about running, then..."

Saba made a killing gesture with her fingers.

After the boy left,

"Do you need to sound so scary for such a small matter?"

Lia also agreed with Kifayat, "Yes, you did not need to threaten him so much."

Kifayat and Saba looked at Lia weirdly, "You are the one who started, suddenly changd your mind."

Lia became a little awkward, "I just feel this boy is a little stupid but...."

"But what ?"

"No nothing let's go. The class will start ," Lia hurriedly went to the class. She would never tell her friends that she thought the boy was cute no way...
