CHAPTER 7 - Essha Inessa

"Hey, Maeve. I heard you like someone in our class.." Voiced Ender one day at lunch break.

"Ohow~ where did you hear those rumors?" Maeve questioned while her eyes glancing at two persons that might be responsible for that information. They just focus on eating.

"Maeve, you're so awesome, to even like someone from our class. How did you know that person? Who might it be..?" Asfar chirped with his cutest innocent face.

It makes Maeve flinched a bit.

"Haaaaah~ Asfar is so cute! Always shines like a morning light!" She sang as she placed her hands on Asfar's cheeks.

Asfar's eyes widened.

"Eeehh! Don't tell me, you like me??!" He panicked.

"Hey, hey.." Ender with a low voice.

"Ah, that's right. Maeve just interested in girls.." Asfar comes back to his sense when he remembered about that.

"It can't be helped. Since Asfar was so cute, I have to tell you.." Maeve uttered. About to tell them who the one that she whipped for right now.

Demi and Shun's ears grew bigger quietly interested to know.

"Inessa is the name of the person I liked!" She claimed.

"Eeeehhh?!" Demi, Shun, Ender and Asfar said in unison. Demi's voice was the loudest.

Moments later, "Hi-fi Maevy! I also liked Inessa so much!" Shun starts goofing around. He displayed his palm for Maeve.

Demi hi-fi his palm instead and pushes him aside.

"Hey, Maeve. Why did you like that innocent girl?!" She sounds completely unsatisfied.

"Am I not allowed to?" Maeve questioned her.

"Inessa is a kind and innocent girl, I don't want someone like you to lead weird things to her," Demi explained.

"That's just rude!" Maeve replied.

"So, that blue-haired girl's name was Inessa, huh?" Suddenly Alan follows along with the topic.

"Y-you know her?" Herwin with his disbelief face responded. His face clearly shows that he didn't know that girl.

Alan finished his bread and licked his finger.

"I liked her too. She seems kind." He claimed with a very innocent smile. Very innocent claim.

"Hey, Alan! Don't like her for the same reason as me! I was the one who likes her because she seems kind, ya know!" Maeve barked.

"Whatever reason, you shouldn't like her!" Demi voiced with narrowed eyes in annoyance.

"Why not? On top of that, she's so gorgeous, I like her smile the most.." Maeve is already in her daydreaming imagine the so-called 'kind and innocent' chick.

"But, Inessa sure attached a lot to a certain senior.." Suddenly Ender's voice cracked her daydreaming.

Ah, here we go...

"WHAT?! She had a boyfriend?!" Maeve snapped.

"Ah, that guy, right.." Demi just remembered.

"What guy?!" Maeve with Shun questioned faster.

"It wasn't her boyfriend I guess. But.." Demi try to proclaim

"Inessa just study a lot with that guy, since he was a top student. You know, we were having a hard time with Biology so... It wasn't just Inessa, my friend, Maya also said she got help from that guy so..." Ender explained.

"Yeah, we don't think they are in a relationship.." Demi added.

"That senior is seems cold and unfriendly though, I don't think Inessa or the girls like him." Said Ender. Judging.

"Yes, yes... I rather taking help from the teacher instead of that scary senior.." Demi agreed.

"No way~ what senior? Do I know him?" Her brows were dropping, showing how worried she was about whoever that suspicious senior was. He is probably a very cool and smart guy. Such a dangerous rival for her.

"Erm... I'm not sure.. that top student" Demi tries to make her know.

"Which class? 4-A? 5-A?" Maeve guessed.

"5-A.." Ender admitted.

"If I'm not mistaken, his name is... Trápaga Rou." Demi continued.

"Eeeeeeehhhhhh???!!"

"Whoa.. what a reaction.." Ender and Demi commented.

"Why him?! Anyone but him!!!" Maeve was very stressed out. She put down her head to the table and punches the table repeatedly. That makes Herwin's drink shake and spill.

Herwin made an unsatisfied face, "Why though? As if you know him?" He questioned her.

"Why, Maevy? Did you like him too?" Shun asked in worry expression.

"Idiot! Isn't it's obvious, I only like girls!" Maeve snapped

"Then, did he likes you?" Herwin guessed with a smirk.

Maeve flinched.

"D-Don't be ridiculous! Do you think he's gay?" She exclaimed.

"Huh, it's fine, isn't it? Whatever..." Herwin hinted as he yawns ready to withdraw from the conversation.

"It wasn't fine, Sleepyhead!" Shun responded.

Maeve just gulping with an overwhelmed look.

After school, Maeve has seen stepping out of the school gate with an overwhelmed face. Her brows dropping and her already droopy eyes, even more, dropped almost closed.

"No good, my sweet Inessa...Why?" She mumbled as she stepped weakly.

"Ahaha... it's rare to bump into you after school, Rou. Then, see you tomorrow." Even so, she still could hear something that caught her attention.

She quickly turns around and her eyes meet two figures that she knows, Inessa with Rou.

"Ah, Inessa.." She muttered.

Inessa with smiles just parting away with Rou and gives him a wave before she continues walking.

Maeve watched them when Rou noticed her.

Inessa walked past her and Maeve just gives a cold look at Rou. Rou turns around and just ignores her. Maeve turned around too, she gonna follow after Inessa.

"Err.. excuse me.." Maeve voiced. Inessa stopped walking and looked at her back, where the voice came.

"Eh?" She seems puzzled.

"Essha Inessa...?" She hesitates.

"Yes..? Ah, you're Demi's friend from class 3-C, right?" She chirped.

Her smile's so blessed.

"Hah, she knows me.." Maeve relief inside.

"I am Wren Maeve, I liked you. Please go out with me!" She is going straight to the point.

At first, Inessa still with her sweet smile until gradually changes.

"Eeeeeeehhhhhh??!!"
