Chapter 9

"Before I start to tell you what happened to me, I want to ask you some question that had been lingering in my mind." said Maya.

"Spill it out." answered Jake.

"First question, where is your other two friend? Don't you always with your friend?" asked Maya.

"About that, William was on a vacation with his parents. Mother's son he is, his mother would not let him be alone in the house so he had to follow his mom. While Alex, I don't know. He said that he have some problem that he had to solve." answered Jake calmly.

"Okay I see. Next question. Why did you help me the other day? I mean, I was the new student in this school, and I heard from Jenny that you always bullied new students. But it turned out to be that you saved me from your girlfriend." said Maya.

"First, I helped you because she was too far. She don't have to go that far. Second, she is not my girlfriend and will never be." said Jake and earn a shocked facial expression from Maya. For Jake, she is a bit cute but he will never want Maya to be his girlfriend because he thought thay Maya is a loser and not that pretty.

"Wait what?? You said that Amanda is not your girlfriend? Then why Jenny said that she is your girlfriend and also Amanda said that I was flirting with you, her 'boyfriend'." said Maya while air quotting the word boyfriend.

"That one, I cannot answered. Now tell me what happened to you just now? You look like a nuissance you know?" said Jake and giggle a bit.

"You cute when you laugh. Okay skip that part. Well this thing happened. Yesterday, when I was walking to the cafeteria, I saw Jenny and Amanda have some talk so I lend my ears to their talk and hide so they will not see me. Is it okay if I talk bad about Amanda? I don't want later on, she will met me just because some bad things about her behind her back." said Maya and earning a nodding Jake.

"As you know that Jenny is my bestfriend. And it make me curious as to why did she met Amanda. And what I heard from their talk, they talk about me. As my bestfriend, Jenny was asked to tell all of my moves to Amanda. And I was questioning to myself, why did she want to do it? I mean like she is my bestfriend, why did Jenny still accept to be Amanda spy? And spying me? What will she get by doing it?" asked Maya frustrated.

"There is something that you still don't know. And to know it, you have to find the answer yourself." said Jake and close his eyes back.

"You know, in this world, not every people you can trust and not everyone can accept your flaws. All they want is your other self. I am just saying that whatever happen, you have to be strong because when you are weak, people that want to see you break apart, will laughing evilly towards you but when you are strong, they will lose. That's why you should just be you because be you can make you stronger." said Jake again.

"Wow, I don't know you give wise words to me." said Maya giggling because it's the first time she saw bully give a good advice to person.

"Nah... I am just trying to be nice. That's all. And from what I heard from your story, you are scared to lose friend and to prevent that thing happen, you tried to become other you that you don't even like just to fulfill their wants. So yeah. Okay shut up. I want to enjoy the air and my song. Remember your promise, to just sit here with me until school end." said Jake and Maya just nodding to his statement.

Maya get into her class as she wants to take her beg but she saw Jenny still at her helping you keep your book in your bag.

"Hey Jenny. Thanks for helping." said Maya while take her bag from Jenny and continue to keep her stuff in her bag. It doesn't mean that Maya was an arrogant who cannot accept people help but she do 't want to burden people.

"Hey Maya. Where are you the rest of the class? Does he did something to you? Beat you up or bully you? Come one tell me." said Jenny while eyeing Maya, scared that Maya may had hidden bruise.

"Hey don't worry. I am fine and he did not do something bad to me instead he gives me a lot of advice so I think you can stop thinking bad stuff towarda him. He is okay. Now let's go." said Maya and pulling Jenny's hand and walk out of the classroom.

"Well at least tell me what advice did he give you. You make me curious you know?" said Jenny while walking with Maya beside her.

"Haha.. Maybe not today. I will just keep it secret. And if you want to know what kind of advice he give, why don't you asked him yourself. Oh my bus already here. Bye see you tomorrow hun." said Maya while running to catch on her bus. Maya kinda feeling good today after she get some awesome advice from the school bully so it really made her day while Jenny stand at the same place while keep an eye on Maya's who was climbing the bus stairs and get in.

"Hey, we have to talk." said someone that catch Jenny eyes. And she did go to the person.

"So, spill it now. I want to know everything." said the person with her friends beside her.

"Can you please calm down, Amanda? You make my head spinning. Well she did not tell me much about it. But after recess she meet Jake. At where, I don't know because I forgot to ask her. And for what reason you may asked, this morning, Maya just let out all of her anger towards Jake and she meet him to ask for forgiveness. That's all I think." said Jenny while thinking hard if she did left out a bit info.

"Good, now you pass the level one to become our friends. I hope tomorrow I will get a new and good news from you." said Amanda while twirling her own hair.

"Why do you want to do this? I mean like don't you have any other important stuff to do than tell me to be a spy and keep my eye on Maya? Let me know why." said Jenny frustrated.

"You don't have to know. You are not my friend yet. Bye. Girls let's go now." said Amanda and walk away. Jenny just let out a sigh while watching Amanda back.

"Why did you change my bestfriend?" monologue Jenny alone in her mind and walk her car.
