Chapter 18

Seconds turns into minute, minute turns into an hour. Hehehe just saying it in english for trend.

So it's our clearance day!!! Yeeeyyyy!!! I'm happy now because there's no stress, like GOODBYE STRESS!!!!

We were happy so we decided to go to SM Manila because that was our location but we were still here at school and finishing the clearance.

"Hayyyssss....it's over!!" Shaira pretended to let out her hand out-streching while saying it.

We laughed, "Let's go to SM and sing." We just laughed even harder at what Rania said.

"Don't! For the sake of our ears please." I tease.

She looked at me. "You have a nice voice?" Sarcasticly she says.

I shrugged. "Well." I said flip my hair.

They pretended to cough. "Did you hear anything?" Grace asked them.

"Let's just go we're we going because were fooling ourselves around here." Afsah said and walked first, they followed so I couldn't do anything so I followed too.

We are already walking to SM because there are no classes so we just went there with civilians clothes not school uniform so we went straight there.

Of course the bully won't go away as we walk. "Afsah has no dreams." I said and pointed at her.

"They're Grace too." She said in a baby voice.

So Ruby looked at her angrily. "Baby."

We laughed the loudest, of course. "Afsah has a baby voice eh." Rania's teasing.

"You're a baby too." Ruby suddenly said again.

So we laughed even harder. "Ouch! It really hurts!" Baby voice said Rania, and there was still a touch on her chest as if it hurt.

I laughed so much that I didn't see the pole so I stumbled upon it. "Hahahahahahahaha!!" They laugh when they see what happened to me.

I pouted at them. "T-there." Laughing Grace said while holding my shoulder.

I, on the other hand, touched my forehead which was stumbled while we were still walking. And them? They couldn't stop laughing.

"Slowly, you might die in so much laughter, i don't have any responsible for you." I said calmly, I rolled my eyes too.

They looked at me laughing. "Next time don't acrobat on the road without even warning us." Grace said laughing.

I looked at her with narrowing eyes and then spoke proudly. "That's called talent! And I'm the only one who can do it so you can't do anything."

They just laughed at me and we entered inside the mall, we immediately walk to the very top where Tom's world is located.

Of course, we have already paid for karaoke, that's our location when there are events that are over or there is an event or sometimes we just go when we wan't too.

We just sang, and because it was only an hour, our time ended immediately and we just played.

We go to the one with, you need to shoot a cents to get a ticket, we need a coin to fall from inside to get a ticket. Ruby played and while she was addicted, her debt as well us grewing.

"Can you borrow me a money?" She said when her borrowed money from Grace is already done.

"How much?" I asked, I still have money so it's okay.

"Twenty." I nodded and walked over to replace the twenty to a cents at the counter.

"Can i change this to a cents Ma'am?" Then I gave thirty.

We will both benefit from the ticket, so it's okay if I overdo it, the size of Ruby's debt to us, will pass by a hundred.

After the counter woman gave it, I went back and gave it to her. "It's thirty."

I shrugged. "It's okay you put it now." I said and started to look to the front again.

She put again some coins to fall and when she ran out, then she ended it. She said she doesn't have a money to pay us because her debt is bigger.

We just laughed at what she said and we exchanged the ticket at the other counter----Afsah and I were two----there were two counters and one of them you could exchange coins and into cents while on the other side you exchange the ticket and then you can also claim the reward in exchange for the ticket.

While the machine was counting our tickets, Afsah and I first talked about something we could think, often the things that happened to us in the past few days were how we were very stress we were that we now just laughing at it.

Suddenly, the man, who was at the counter, approached and stamped our receipt. "It's two thousand all ma'am, just go to the other side to claim what you want."

I took the receipt. "Thank you." I said last before calling the rest of us to ask them what we were going to take.

"Let's get this oh." Grace pointed to the unicorn ballpen.

That's just six of us. "Yes, so we have the matching ballpens."

I nodded and told the woman there what we wanted to take. Getting it, I took the violet ofcourse that's my favorite color.

Then we just bought the rest of our food because we planned to go to the luneta park to hang out, because it was still early.

After we got everything, we went straight to the luneta, it was close to the sm so we just walked, even though we would still walk far, hahahaha because we didn't have a fare.

When we went we just sat on the benches next to the statue of lapu-lapu. Fortunately, there was no rain and we could sit there on the grass.

After sitting down, of course, there was a mixture of laughter again and there were bullies and gossips. "I have a story for you." I said as I got all their attention.

"What's that?" Rania asked, "Your story must be good." Warningly she says.

I laughed. "Literally beautiful." Giving her a clue.

"What is it?" Shaira asked.

I told them about the house where my grandmother worked and how beautiful and spacious it was----i was acting it too----of course apart from the story about their missing child. It's too private and sensitive issue for them, it's a shame if I just gossip.

"Woah! So rich." Afsah said in amazement.

"Yes, I can only see rich people on books-----I mean I can read some but i don't know is there a true one?" Ruby was also impressed.

"How did their family meet you?" Shaira asked.

I laughed at her. "Duh! My grandmother probably works there." Rania hit my head. "You're so mean! That hurts!"

"Being so mean ah, are you beautiful?" Rania also said in a rude way.

"Yes, I'm beautiful." I proudly said.

"If it's the standard for being beautiful, I don't wanna be beautiful anymore." Grace's tease.

"Atleast i always takes a bath! Isn't it Shaira?" I raised my chin and eyebrows.

"Hey! I took a shower." She was defending herself.

We laughed. "That's why it stinks." They pretended to blow his nose as they said that.

"That's her perfume." I correct.

They nodded. "Ahhh..."

We laughed again and continued to tease and talk about what's on our mind.

The group chat because we have nicknames there that have the same history. That's why I'm beautiful "they say"----Grace made our nickname but it has an origin---because I always tell them that I'm beautiful. While the other's has too, Grace has a sweet girl "they say" because one of our classmates that is gay tell it to her because she was wearing a flowered design shirt so he says she's a sweet girl.

Ruby is the sexy "they say" i don't need to explain right? Rania is cute "they say" because as like me she always says she's cute. Shaira is smell's good "they say" because we always tease her that she didn't showered and she stinks. And last is hafsa is a yummy girl "they say", we all have nicknames beacuse were really crazy.

After we had lunch, we went home because we were there until the afternoon just talking, we didn't notice the time because they were so talkative. Jowk!

We were walking, ahead is Rania and Grace as usual. Then Ruby and Shaira in the next---because we can't walk at the same time, were too many. Finally, Afsah and I.

I poked her. "Psst."

She looked back. "Hmm?"

"Because I have a story but I don't want to tell it with everyone, can you shut your mouth right?" I'm sure she will.

She laughed. "Probably! What's that?"

I held his hand so we could stop for a moment and we moved a little further away so they wouldn't hear.

When we started walking again, I just told a story. I also told who told me that and how master John would be so mean to me. "It's the family I told you about, because one of their sisters is missing." I said the story in a sad tone.

"Really? Didn't you say they were rich?" I nodded. "Eh why didn't they look for their sister?"

"Yah that's why, this is really why." I stop before starting to tell the story again. "While one of the twins was together with her sister, they said someone took the child and then they couldn't find her, so until now he still blames himself for the loss of his sister, and of course only girl eh so they're anxious and they really love her so much then like that? Their baby girl just gone like that?" I'm said in a sad tone, because I'm not the type of person who knows how to keep a secret but if you ask, it's okay.

"Eh? It's not his fault anymore, the fault is the one who took their sister." I nodded and agreed with what she said.

"You know if it's me, I'll be angry with the kidnapper, maybe I'll could kill him or her in a rage." Disgusted I pretend to say.

She laughed. "It's too much if you kill him or her, you know maybe there's a reason."

I looked at her. "There! It's because of webnovel. Is there a kidnapper for a good reason? That's probably bad." I do not agree with what she said.

She shrugged. "You just don't know."

I shake my head. "Ahh...as long as that's my point of view, let's not talk to that anymore and we're far from them. Don't tell others ah, I just told you."

She nodded. "All right." We nodded before running to follow our companions.

They looked straight at us. "Why are you running?" Grace asked in surprise.

"Afsah is talking nonsense." I'm blaming.

"Woi, you're so talkative that we almost can't catch up with them." She was also pointing.

Shaira suddenly pointed. "I believe more in Afsah."

"Me too." Grace raised her hand, so did the others.

I just frowned and didn't speak. Of course, we won't end up teasing and laughing.

Even though my friends are crazy like this-----of course I'm one of them-----I love that.

No one will leave each other...............
