Chapter 5

"Finally! The exam is over haha!" Lari shouted raising both her hands as we walked down the hallway.

Many people glanced at her side.

"You really feel like shouting something, Lari. Confidence at its finest!" I said to Larina.

"Of course Haley girl, I'm happy. Besides, I don't care if they get deaf to my shout, I'm happy and no one can stop me haha!" she answered confidently but suddenly Rogie appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

"Look whose happy," Rogie said and he seemed angry.

"Omg! You shocked me! Haha."

Larina didn't seem to notice that Rogie seemed angry.

"How can you be happy when you didn't reply last night. Let's talk!" Rogie shouted. "Sandigo, we're getting going with your best friend first, we just need to talk. Bye!" and then he pulled her wrist.

Larina couldn't do anything but let him dragged her and she just waved at me and I waved back.

Hays, we would have watched a movie. But Rogie's annoying.

And speaking of another annoying... where is Raven?

I stopped walking and looked back to see where Raven was.

But when I turned around, I almost kissed him. Oh gosh, he's just behind me. Why didn't Rogie even greet him? Men and their complicated but cool friendship.

"Yes, Haley. Any problem?" he asked innocently.

I turned my back on him before answering. His approach to me was strange.

I don't know what made me feel that it is strange, one thing is for sure, my heart is beating abnormally again.

"No, I thought you went home already," I answered weakly. Still shocked by that sudden almost kissing scenario!

He suddenly put his arm around my shoulder. I was surprised and looked around, I almost jumped either. Fortunately, we are in the parking lot of Gilden High Academy.

"I'm always on your side, Haley," he said with a wink.

I think, my face blushed.

"Stop talking nonsense! And I think I'll go home first. I promised you that I will let you hang around once the exam is done!"

And I also think I need to keep a little distance from him. My heart's beating abnormally again!

This feeling is giving me a headache. Aish!

I felt him stopped walking and he pulled me around to face him.

I froze and my eyes are blinking consecutively like a twinkling star at night.

"Really? Yes! Then what about going to the mall? You also promised me that we're gonna watch a movie together after the exam, am I right?" he looks so happy and bothered by nothing.

While me? I think I'm losing my mind. Can he advance a little far from my face? We're almost kissing!

I swallowed so hard so I could talk properly without getting stuttered.

"U-uhm... don't you want to spend your time with your f-friends?"

He snouts and raised his right brow.

"Why? Don't you want to come with me?"

I shook my head instantly.

"N-no! I just thought that... anyways, what are we going to watch?" I asked to divert the topic.

He let out a contagious smile that I couldn't really help but to smile.

"Let's just choose what's nice there."

"All right, I'm game."

"Yey, I'm so excited!" He exclaimed. Good thing we're in front of their car. Cuz he looks childish by his reaction. Well, that's not new.

And I couldn't help but smile at him again. He's just adorable in his own way.

When we entered the car, he immediately told Manong Adis where we're heading to.

"Manong, we want to go to the mall first before going home."

"All right, Sir."

And then the car started to move.

"I want to watch Horror, Haley. Do you?"

Huh? I'm totally informed that he doesn't prefer to watch horror, but why so sudden cuz no freakin' way that I would watch a horror genre!

"I don't want to, I don't like horror!" It's boring and I'm kinda afraid. But I won't tell him of course, I don't want to be a loser.

"But I want to watch horror, I wanna challenge myself. So, let's watch it, please..." then he sticks both of his hands again, pleading and convincing me badly.

How can I resist him? But I can't just be a loser there!

"I'm not scared, I just really don't want to." I refused again.

I won't ever admit that I'm afraid. I'm not a baby!

"Really? You're not afraid? Then, why refuse?" He asked smirking.

And he won't stop his bubbles to watch horror with him if I don't agree. So to shut him up, I agreed.

"Alright!" I surrendered while frowning at him.

"Yes!" He even punched in the air and then he leaned against me.

And that makes my crazy heart-pounding real fast again. Wait, why is he clingy these days?

"Haley?"

"Hmm?" I answered. Trying to be cool.

"Do you have a crush?"

Crush? Do I have a crush?

"I do not know." I'm not sure about my answer.

"Why don't you know?" he asked and looked at me.

Aish, why is he like that? The closeness of his very handsome face is nearing mine!

"Wait, why are you asking? Do you have a crush?" I asked back. Then I pushed him slightly.

"Yes I have," he answered directly.

My eyes widened and I suddenly felt alarmed. Who could be his crush???

"Can you tell me, who is she?" I asked pretending to be energetic.

He smirked and snout.

"Secret."

Huh? So it's not me?

Stupid, Haley! And why would be you?

"Good for you. Congrats..." I answered weakly.

I suddenly lost my appetite. I felt like there's a bunch of daggers that were sent to my heart.

Damn, I don't like this feeling.

We got to the mall that I had no appetite. While we were watching the movie I still had no appetite, I couldn't feel any fear from that horror movie that we've watched. Even when we were playing in the arcade there was still nothing fun I feel but melancholy.

I don't know, I just feel weak. Why did I suddenly turn into an oa girl?

So Raven frowned at me when we got home.

"Why are you like that, Haley? You don't seem to be happy, you look upset. I feel like you're not happy to be with me. I'm mad at you!" he complained and he hurried up to his room.

He even throws his things everywhere like he doesn't care if I will scold him for that. He's angry and so I am.

I just followed him with my gaze. I also don't know why I suddenly lost my appetite earlier.

Is it because I'm crazy? Or because he said he had a crush and I don't know who it was?

Fuckin' annoying crush he has!
