Her Naughty Idea

Because of Jasmine's sudden laziness, she decided to eat an instant noodles than to cook.

She's wearing a loose sweater outside of her fit and clean school uniform. Her eyes landed on her cellphone when it began to ring.

"Whassup, Gi?" She answerred, then her eyebrows twitched when she didn't heard any response from Gian except from his loud laugh.

"What the? Have you gone crazy, man?"

"Nah. I just missed your voice." Both of Jasmine's cheeks began to heat up and redden.

"Eww, chill, bruh. What did you just ate?"

"I'm just joking hahaha." Jasmine slightly bit her lower-lip when she heard Gian's chuckle. She was smiling when she turned on the speaker of her phone before placing it on the table beside her.

"Why did you call me, anyway?"

"I am heading to your apartment. Let's enter the school, together." Jasmine suddenly panicked and she immediately finished her noodles.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm now outside." She headed towards the window and took a look. She saw Gian wearing a gray jacket while waving at her.

"Wait." She mouthed before waving back.

She hurridly throw the cup noodle container into the trash and picked up her bag before locking the door of her apartment.

.

"Why did you suddenly invited me to walk with you? It's not yet dismissal."

"Nah. I just thought that life is too short. So, while I'm still alive. I decided to spent my life with you.....my bestfriend." Jasmine was quitely surprised and flattered because of Gian's words.

"Aww...It's so obvious that you really care for me."

"Ouch, Jasmine." Gian moaned when Jasmine pinched his cheeks.

"Oh, come on. You never been this sweet to--" Jasmine was keep on teasing him when Gian suddenly stopped from walking.

"Hey, what is it?" She followed the direction where Gian was looking and she can't see anything unusual.

"The tree."

"What tree?"

"Isn't that the lifeless tree we visited yesterday?" Her eyes widen when Gian was right. She stared at the tree and it's very different than the tree they saw yesterday.

"Y-yes, it is that lifeless tree. It looks so very healthy b-but yesterday, it seems like it already encountered death." As she stared at the tree for few more seconds, she could feel her heart beating fast.

She can't understand why she feel nervous out of the sudden. She quickly pulled Gian's arm as she ran.

"W-wait! Where are we going?"

"To the park." She answered while running.

"What are we going to do there? We might be late for school, Jas."

"I just want to check something."

They both stopped and still panting when they arrived at the park. There's no people around since it's so very early to hang out.

"What do you want to check out?"

Jasmine's eyes were roaming as she ignored Gian's question. Her sight immediately stopped when she found the thing she's looking for.

"What are you doing, Jas?" Gian asked her, still confused. When Jasmine immediately ran towards the fountain.

"This is the stray dog we fed yesterday." Gian remained silent and was quietly shocked.

The dog grew some long fur and was very healthy and fat. His fur was shining like a golden coin as he wiggle his tail.

"I think this is something that have to do with me. I touched and cared for the dog and tree, then they immediately become healthy." Gian showed no reaction as he listens to Jasmine.

It was like a puzzle to Jasmine. The more she think, the more things become more explainable her. Then, an idea suddenly pop inside her head.

"What if this happening has a connection to my unknown dream? What is m--"

"It was just all a coincidence, Jas. It rained last night, that's why the tree suddenly grow and yesterday, there is alot of tourist that visited the park and maybe, fed the dog...Now, let's go. We need to hurry or the gate might closed."

Jasmine just quietly followed Gian. It's very impossible for a tree or dog to be hefty in just a matter of hours. Jasmine thought of solving the mystery of her dream. Jasmine has a feeling that the incident happened to the dog and the tree is related to her unknown dream.

.

The idea can't get out of Jasmine's head. She turned her face to see Gian, waiting for him to glance back but he didn't. He was quietly listening to the lecturer and Jasmine can't see any emotion in his eyes.

.

"Hey, Jas." Gian called her when the lunchbreak started.

"Yes?" She answerred while looking down her notes.

"I'll be buying some things on the minimart."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I'm just excusing myself and sorry if you have to spend the lunchbreak without me." Jasmine looked at him and smiled.

"I'll be fine, Gi."

"I'll be fast, I promise."

.

Jasmine was quietly eating inside the cafeteria. She preferred to eat eggplant salad, rice and vegetable stew today. While eating she suddenly heard cute laughters. She looked up and saw two of her classmates walking towards her.

She thought that maybe she was just assuming and they are approaching someone else. So, she just continue eating, not until, they called her name.

"Jasmine...Jasmine Browne."

"Hmm?"

The girls sat infront of her before putting down their food trays.

"Where's Gian? It's the first time I saw the both of you not eating together."

"He went to the mini mart, he'll be back soon." Jasmine felt weird when the girls looked at her with their eyebrows going up and down.

"You like him, don't you?" Jasmine was shock because of the sudden question they asked.

"O-of course not! He's just my bestfriend."

"Really? You know what, girl. I was like that, not until I realized that I already fell inlove with my neighbor." The black one said leaving her speechless.

"If you're worried that Gian might not like you back. Well, it's so obvious that Gian is head over heels inlove with you. Try kissing him, he might suddenly faint." While listening to them, Jasmine can feel her heart wanted to get out of her chest because of the loud beat.

"Trying won't harm you, right?" The other girl winked at her and Jasmine just bit her lip because of the suggestion of her classmates.
