Chapter 8: Shernia

This kid is acting weird nowadays. I always behave however I want when I'm with him. But recently he gets shy and tries to hide it. He's older than me but I feel like I rule over him as if I'm older, though I enjoy doing it.

Wow, I'm getting impressed by my own talent of writing novel with such a story line. I know all of these are my imaginations, but still I make fun of him in these things. What's funnier is he takes it all seriously and reacts immediately. Whatever, it's fun to tease him. It's no fun inside the classroom. Other places are also boring. So it's for the best to wander around the campus.

Best friend is the person who listens to your stupid talks and supports you while others hear you at best. Bestfriend like him is like a rainbow in rainy days, though he gets beaten up by me for his stupidity.

-"You free tomorrow, right? Okay I know you'll be free tomorrow, so now plan. Where will we go to eat? Tomorrow is holiday! Yeap! It's holiday! Wow, great. You don't take any extra classes as I know it well. So don't make excuses and join me tomorrow."

-"Were you talking with me or yourself? And what kind of plan was it! You idiot decided it all by yourself!"

Omg! I realized my talkative, I mean talkative ultra pro max side is back again. Whatever it is, I can't let him win.

-"So, now I'm asking. Say, are you free tomorrow?"

-"Tomorrow when?"

-"Afternoon and evening."

-"Anyway, I'm free all day tomorrow."

-"See, as I said. You prick just wasted the time. Huh! I don't call you stupid for no reason. Now you understand? Damn stupid!"

-"You..."

I know he can't say anything now. He also knows he'll never win against me.

We're the freshmen now, maybe that's why I don't even know the faces who are pointing their fingers at me and whispering to the person next to them. Observing their way of whispering, one thing is easily understandable; they're talking about that fight of yesterday. But why the hell is everyone looking at their phone and then me! Is the video already uploaded online? If so, then it's gonna be really a mess. All faculties will know my face and I can't even imagine what the hell they'll think about me. I guess Ollie didn't notice it yet. Thank god, I'm afraid that he'll overreact when he notices it and another rumour will spread out as happened since our high school time. Emmaline was our high school alumni and she once spread these absurd rumour of us being a couple etc etc after being rejected by Ollie.

We're in front of the basketball ground, our venting place, fun place and most favourite place in the whole campus. Oh, today I can't enjoy anything in this ground. This damn period is creeping me out. The pain has abated but didn't die down. So, it's still risky to go against my body and along with my mind.

-"Looking at the ground makes me feel like playing basketball..." Hearing him say it, just hit different. I'm also craving to play a match but I can't. Geez... Yesterday this ground renovation just ended and I was planning to make that one month gap up after the renovation is over. But seems like my shitty fate never wants to reconcile with me. I could say he's expecting me to play with him.

-"I'd love to play with you but I'm on my period and it's not safe to play now." I tried to just make it clear to him but he's all red now. He gets shy for no reason which seems really really really too much funny.

-"Well, I didn't ask, so you shouldn't say these to me." Gosh! He's seriously blushing and his ears are red as if someone just pulled it. I can't stop my laughter but I tried to act a little maturer.

-"Why are you blushing? It's just normal! Don't you know about girls' physiology? Oo!You're turning red again!" I tried to act like a mature girl, but to be honest, the hardest work to me in the world right now is to stop my laughter. I couldn't for sure. I'm laughing like a crazy and more I think about his stupidity, the more loud my sound goes.

-"You would better act like a girl now, otherwise that Emmaline will again spread rumour of you being PSYCHOPATH". He whispered to my ear. Ugh! He really knows now how to hit on point.

-"You think I care! Try to say it once again. I dare you to say." I immediately wrapped my hand around him trying to choke him.He tapped on my hand for several times and I loosened it, in better words, I showed mercy.

-"What the hell is he doing here!" He suddenly said. Looking at that boy, I understood that he didn't expect him here but seems like they know each other. That guy is also glaring at him. I can say they have a ill-relationship. Emmaline also doesn't seem to understand the situation as me.

-"Yeah? You know him? I never saw him before. Is he new here or something?" I was super curious for sure. But also got disappointed when he didn't answer me.

It's such a relief that they accepted Emmaline's offer and agreed to have a match. Their match is interesting as they both are trying to surpass each other, but what I'm curious about is the reason behind their competitiveness towards each other. I don't want to ask Ollie again about it. But deep down inside I hope he shares it with me. Well, I'll just let him have time then.
