Chapter 8

"Okay class. That's all for today class. I hope all the book will be on my table before this Wednesday." said the teacher and packing her stuff.

"Hey, you did not tell me yet about what happen to you yesterday." said Jenny stopping Maya with whatever her doing.

"Oh yesterday. Yeah I met him and thankfully he let me go yesterday. He said that he don't want the jacket anymore." lied Maya towards her friend, Jenny.

"Then, why are you not in the class all day? I was worried as heck yesterday. I thought he bullied you." said Jenny with a worried face.

"Oh no. Not going to happen. I did some begging drama towards him and suddenly he let me go. So yeah. And I am not feeling well after I met him, so I went to the nurse to get some rest. You don't have to worry much. I am fine." said Maya again while smilling to assure to her friend that she is fine.

"Good to hear that. Well shall we go to the cafeteria now? I think my tummy already play some drum with a rock genre." said Jenny and the both of them laugh in unison.

"Okay, fine. Let's go." said Maya.

Maya wants to act that she don't anything so that Jenny will not suspected something fishy. She know that if she did this, she will get an aswered to all of her question that had been keep lingering around her mind.

"Hey, isn't that the girl that have the courage to raise her voice towards Jake?" said some random girl who was gossiping with her friends at the hallways.

"Yeah, it's her. She is very shameless. She just the new girl in our school yet she act like she had been here for a long time." answer one of the random girl's friend while eyeing Maya who was walking peacefully.

"Hey babe. What are they talking about? It seems that something I don't know but you know?" asked Jenny after she heard some byte of the random girl's words.

"Oh about that. I will tell you at the cafeteria. Now let's get some breakfast. I am also hungry." said Maya with a calming voice.

"Okay then." answered Jenny while following Maya from behind.

When they reached the cafeteria, all eyes were on Maya as they just saw a ghost burst the cafeteria through the door. Some of them throw dirty glare to Maya but some of them just ignore it since it has nothing to do with them.

Maya and Jenny get their breakfast and find a seat. Thankfully, there is one more unoccupied seat in the cafeteria. It was at the corner and beside the large window of the school.

"So tell me now. I've been dying to know." said Jenny while stuffing her mouth with the food that she get. A 2 piece of pancake with a chocolate syrup and a butter on top of the pancake.

"Well.. This morning, when I was walking to the class, I met with Jake. He is trying to make me annoyed. At first, I told him to go away in a good tone and then he grip my arm. I was on my limit so I throw some thantrum towards him saying that he have to leave me alone. That's why the student had been gossiping about." said Maya, munching her breakfast.

"WHAT??!! How dare you? You really have the gut to do it. Don't you scared? What if he bullied you but in the baddest way that he ever did? I think you better seek an apologize from him if you want to keep living your life." advice Jenny.

"Fine. After the recess time, I will find him? Satisfied enough?" asked Maya as she was a bit mad towards her friend because her friend don't even back up her.

"Good girl." said Jenny and earn a soft chuckle from Maya.

After recess, Maya immediately went to look for Jake. She really feel guilty for calling him stupid. She did asked Jenny where Jake's class is. Jenny want to follow her around as she said that she scared Jake will do something bad to Maya. But Maya know Jenny's real intention. So Maya said that she will face it herself.

"Hello. Can I meet Jake for a while?" asked Maya in front of Jake's class. She realised that Jake is a year older than her which is mean that Jake is her senior.

"He was not here since the first class. We don't know where is he." said one of the classmates.

"Oh, okay. Thank you." said Maya and walk away from there. She thinks really hard on where she can find Jake to seek an apologize from him.

She just went to the rooftop. Well, people always said that follow your heart and not your mind. So she just follow her heart.

She opened the door of the rooftop and the first thing she saw is him. Jake. He was sitting on the same bench as yesterday and listening to a song from his phone. How did Maya know? Well he obviously did not realised that she already there and he literally blast a loud song on his ear that can make Maya heard it too.

"What do you want?" asked Jake without sparing a glance towards Maya. Oop.. he know it.

"I actually want to say sorry for what I said earlier. I know that I shouldn't said that to you. My mind just a bit messed up and I was stressed and I obviouly let all my anger towards you. I am very sorry." said Maya while sitting beside Jake on the bench.

"Sorry are not accepted. You have to try again." said Jake while closing his eyes.

"Whyyy?" asked Maya with a puppy face even though Jake did not saw it.

"Well then. Try again?" asked Jake shrugging his shoulder.

"Okay fine. What do you want me to do?" asked Maya give in.

"Maybe you can ditch class and be with me. And I want you to tell me what problem that you had until you being this stressed." said Jake and pause his song.

"Fine. I do this just because I want you to forgive me. No other reason. And if I tell you this, promise to not tell anybody about it even your bestfriend. Okay?" asked Maya and took out her pinky finger to lock their promise together.

"We'll see." said Jake and link their fingers together. But it make Jake remember something but he still blurr about it. He really cannot remember anything.
