52 -A

After all, Ricky's friends will hang out elsewhere. And Edo said Ricky used to hang out there until midnight. But, because of me, Ricky didn't come.

I felt so bad for him. Just because I forced him to come, he couldn't play with his friends. And had to be a homebody because of me.

"Tomorrow, I'll pick you up... yes," Ricky said. After dropping me off. Now, we are at my doorstep.

I nodded. He nodded too, looking at the door, which was still tightly closed.

"Aunt Rosi doesn't seem to be home yet, okay?" I said. Because I know who Ricky is looking for.

"Dare to be at home alone?" he asked.

Why not be brave? Usually, when I study at night, I'm always alone at home. And, I've been doing that ever since.

"It's okay, really," I answered. He nodded again. His hands are behind him. His chest puffed out while taking a deep breath.

"Well, I'm home, yes...." he said.

"Hey, Rick!" I exclaimed. When he was about to turn around.
