DENIAL-(Shock)

It was just one normal morning for Lukito, doing chores, getting scolded by his drunk aunt and leaving to go to school. Somehow this day feels differen, Lukito felt a little bit happier.

As he exits his house he saw a girl, It was Alisa waiting for him. She looked better since she wasnt that tired from all the extra assignments.

"Hey!Lukito!"Alisa shouted from a distance.

"You didnt forget about yesterday right?"

"No...But i didnt agree either." Lukito replied.

"*Pouts*Hey come on you're the one who did this to me!"

"*Chuckles*Haha im just kidding!"

Lukito pauses for a bit,he was shocked.It's the first time in years that he smiled.They walked to school together. For a moment Lukito felt that he wasnt lonely anymore, he felt in peace but he kept his guard up, he was afraid to get attached and abandoned again.

As they entered the school together they could see countless students whispering at each other while looking at them. Lukito and Alisa didnt mind it since they were used to getting bullied in school but suddenly Lukito felt something. It was no usual student that would just simply laugh at them, he felt like something or someone was glaring at them intensely with hatred on it's eyes. He didn't knew who or what it was so he told Alisa to just walk faster to class.

Class was normal just like any other day, they were being gossiped around but its nothing new for them.

As class ended Alisa told Lukito to wait for her since she had to get something, she said she will be back real quick.

Lukito waited at the hallway,there were no people since everyone left already but then the same feeling struck again,his heart pumped very fast, he was nervous.

Then a guy walked past him.Lukito felt it more than he ever did,the sense of hatred.The guy stopped and turned around.It was Saimon, he looked straight at Lukito's eyes, he grinned and then proceeded to walk away. Lukito stood there confused of everything he just witnessed.

"Lukito?"

He almost jumped when he heard the voice behind him.

"Woah there its just me."Alisa said.

Lukito signed and told Alisa that they should get home.

As they were walking, Alisa got curious of what got Lukito look so worried.

"Hey Lukito."

It was dead silent Lukito was lost in his thoughts.

"Lukito!"Alisa shouted.

"Wha-what?"Lukito asked as he snapped out of his thoughts.

"What really happened?"Alisa asked.

"Dont worry about it."he replied.

"*Pouts*dOnT WoRRy abOUt it, I said what happened?!"she shouted.

"Ok, ok.. so I saw an old friend today."Lukito replied.

"Huh?Whats so bad about that?"Alisa asked.

"I dont really know,something just doesn't feel right or you know maybe I'm just being a weirdo with paranoia again as they said." Lukito replied.

"*Sign*Just keep it together.Well we're here, See you tomorrow.. I guess." Alisa said.

"Yeah see you tomorrow."Lukito replied.

After Lukito has been scolded by his drunken aunt yet again he did his homework.

"What happened back there?"he thought to himself."Why did I feel nervous before I even saw him,and why did he grin?"Lukito kept thinking and thinking as he drifted off to sleep.

"As far as I could remember he was the nicest guy to me.He'd crack up some jokes from time to time but he was still nice no matter what but there was something about him that kept me distant from him. He was nice but everytime he shows kindness I felt that he was hiding something, like a snake about to bite me from my back. I wish i could talk with him again if I can."

[Phone rings]

Lukito woke up picked up his phone and answered it.

"H-hello who is it?"Lukito asked.

"Its me come over our the rooftop i want to tell you something."Alisa replied

"Wha-why do you have my phone number?"Lukito asked infuriatedly.

"You literally carved it on your school desk.Damn to be that desperate you must be really lonely."Alisa said in a playful tone.

"Ok fine fine im coming just shut up."Lukito replied.

Lukito hanged up his phone then proceeded to go to the rooftop.

"So why did you want me to be here in like two in the morning?"Lukito asked.

"I just felt lonely watching the sky so....."

"Ok, I'm going back."

"Wait dont just leave me up here*Sigh*Look, I didn't want to waste your time but I just wanted to tell you something."

"Tell me what?"

"Thank you Lukito."

Lukito felt awaken by what he just heard.

"I know that it only has been a day since we met each other but... I felt like I wasn't being cheated on, I felt like I have a true friend. I hope that this is a beggining of a good relationship as friends " Alisa said.

"I hope so as well." Lukito replied.

The two then went to their respective houses and slept for tommorow.
