Act II : It hurts but if we dragged it out more, it would've become a scar

"This is your script, guys." Gray gave us the scripts for the play one by one because he was the one Edward appointed to compose our skit, and because there was only one woman in the group, I had no choice but to portray my character as a woman and Trigo as the male lead.

Fortunately, I did not get the female major role. I can now take a deep breath. I'll begin to distance myself from him. I brought my script to study.

For the additional grades, we must perform before the midterm exam. We had a lot of practice during the free hour, so we took a few minutes to rest first. When I looked back, it was simply Asher sitting next to me, and I felt something cold strike my cheek, "You look preoccupied." He was the man I met at the convenience store at the time. I'm quite certain when we became so close so quickly, but I was flabbergasted.

He quickly hugged me, and I told him everything I wanted to tell Trigo, but he assumed Trixie was the one I was in love with.

"Ah, just practice for our role-playing,"

I explained as he handed me the milky strawberry he had purchased. He had no idea it was my favorite. "You, aren't the SSG officers busy now that University Week is approaching?" I asked him , handing the straw to me.

That's why he was familiar to me; I last saw him in the foyer offering a small gift to the university's new students, and he was the one who handed it to me since he mistook me for a new student. "I'll be under a lot of stress next school year because we're in our fourth year, and I intend to resign from the council," he replied.

"Your friends were looking at us now....,"

he said, pointing to where they were. ".....They were really gossiping," Edward was looking at the two of us. "Just let them be that way," he smiled, then messed up my hair. I just gave him a sour look. It's difficult to style my hair! "You look cute," he said again, still not pleased, and squeezed my cheeks.

"Get out of here, you're annoying!" I gently pushed him, and he laughed.

"Fine, I have to go since I still have class," he said as he hugged me. "Good luck with your play, I'm watching promise! Goodbye Sky," Asher said as he walked away, and my friends approached me. "Who is that? Why did you let him hug you?" Trigo said.

"Your spouse is immediately envious, so tell us Sky, are you a magnet for engineers?" Jacob laughed, and sat down next to me before Trigo could move. The others had to be curious. "What are you saying? We were just friends then. He helped me the other day at the convenience store," I explain, leading Noah to raise an eyebrow, "Really?" he asks sarcastically, as I sighed, "Asher and I are just friends. understand?"

"Wow, first name basis, it's too soon for you to make friends right now; there's still a hug going on," the man previously said, squinting.

Nothing is wrong with that. Why are you in such a foul mood right now? You don't have a date with Trixie, and you didn't have a kiss? "I muttered. Suddenly, his reaction changed. Sometimes I'm not sure what the trend is for his mood. "It's time to leave."

He exploded, putting down the milky strawberry he was holding and then leaving. "That's why the husband was jealous." Edward replied, I just looked at the drink lying on the table.

Trigo had been ignoring me all day. I was able to breathe easily because my heart had calmed down. I'm on my way to my dorm now. I still have to finish my 30-chapter story project.

Someone suddenly drew me. I almost punched him. "Let's chat Sky," Trigo said as he took my hand in his and brought me to a coffee shop near my dorm. "What do we need to talk about?" I inquired as I sat down, and he sighed. "Nothing, I just want to be with you because I notice we don't hang out anymore," he explained as he looked through the menu.

"You just had a girlfriend and forgot you had peers," I say quietly.

He took a breather. "What exactly did you say? I didn't hear anything." he asked, I merely shook my head and ordered a milky strawberry, which is clearly my fave. "Tss, that's truly everywhere you always buy," he said, raising an eyebrow. Strawberry is my favorite flavor, as you know.

Even now, if you smell me, I smell like strawberries! That's why Asher always hugs me; it's his favorite thing to do. " Suddenly, his demeanor shifted, as if the man had stock. "Asher, what's wrong with him, and you seem to be pretty close?" He was still trying to speak, but our order had already arrived.

"I'm just fairly friendly with him, and we have the same preferences, except for online games, which I don't enjoy. Why are you envious, husband?"

I smiled cunningly this time, studying his reaction. "What if I declare, Yes, I'm envious, and then you'll keep away from him, wife?" He approached me, then bam, a counterattack occurred. Our lips were practically touching, and I felt like I could kiss him just a few inches away.

Please calm my heart there. Don't even bother hoping! "Only kidding! It's okay for me to have a new friend. I can't manage your life, but I just want you to take care of yourself and keep away from him if there is a specific danger happening," he reminded me, making me grin.

"I can protect myself, and I'll take care of him." Also, stop making me fall more in love with you. Capture me! I've already sunk. Please do not take this heart!

Trigo and I not only sat out at the coffee shop, but we also walked to the Plaza Mall to get a freshly released novel from the National Bookstore. He brought me to my dorm because Trixie was looking for him because she was terrified of his girlfriend.

"Hello, Sky!"

I gasped as Aki loomed in front of me. She was the engineering girl who my friends used to tease me about. "Oh, you just arrived too?" I inquired. She shook her head. "Actually, I'm waiting for you here, and I'd want to take you to dinner at the restaurant across from the dorm," she said as she fiddled with the hem of her t-shirt. I cracked a grin.

"Sure, i just dress up and wait for me at the lobby," She smiled and thanked me as she walked away, i got dress as soon as I entered my room. quick grabbing my phone to update my social media before leaving.

SkyBear

just now.

Even today, I just want to pretend and live the sensation of having a relationship with you and knowing that you love me as much as you love her.

I instantly logged out. Maybe I'll go back and read the comments later. I left my phone on the table and walked to Aki's since I was afraid she would be impatiently waiting for me.
