Bestfriend

After the scene inside the restroom, We went back to our room. Luckily, We were 2 minutes earlier than the bell, If not I'm sure we would receive a detention slip for being late in the first day- And that would be terrible.

"So Class since you all pretty much knew each other already, We'll skip from introduction. Instead I want to introduce myself to all of you. Dulce Carter. A science teacher, your adviser and also the Science Club Administrator."

She stop to breathe a little, before continuing. "And the first month is the Science Month so If you have any question regarding the activities please don't hesitate to tell me. Am I clear?"

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Good. Now for the first day, I'd like to arrange your seating arrangements. Everyone stand up and stand at the back, I would call your name and tell your first quarter seat."

Ma'am Dulce started announcing. I'm standing with the girls and no one's really talkingetting the boice of our adviser echoed inside the corners of our room.

"Mavie Reins,"

We stared at Mavs as she made her way the the left corner of the first row. Wow, That's a quiet spot. Next to her right is Jack.

"Liza Evans."

Liza walks her way down her seat. She's seated next to Chennee. I was startled when I heard my name called on but quickly get over it before finding my seat.

"ViJie Darwins,"

I'm seated before the center aisle, on Zyrex's left side. I'm fixing my things when I heard the next name.. Fuck.

"Ryan Stylin."

Really? Why am I so unlucky?!?

I stiffened when I feel him sit next to me, gosh. Why does he need to smell so good?! I can't help gritting my teeth when I heard him talk.

"We'll talk later Darwins. Whether you like it or not. I knew I was wrong but I won't let you ignore me anymore. " before I could even respond Ma'am Dulce already finish announcing everyone's seats.

And so I just shut up.

-

Oh please!

"Jie! Please!" I look over at the girls but they're still busy doing the activity. Well, Since I'm done and this guy beside  me is done too he started bothering me.

And honestly? It's irritating.

Ma'am Rose told us that we can already take our break earlier If we're already done. And right now? I can't stay with the same space with this guy. Gosh!

How am I so unlucky?! I mean, Out of all my 27 classmates- Why?!  Why is he always my seatmate?!

Arrggh! This is frustrating!

Exiting my room I left without telling anyone. I was going in the garden and maybe take some fresh air when I felt my hand being pulled by someone. Ryan.

"Let me go." I slowly said, threatening. How dare he pulled me like he own my hand?! Arghh!

When he didn't said anything nor did he let me go, I forced my hand out of his grip but this guy is strong- yeah.

How can I forgot? He took Taekwondo Class.

This is useless.

I let him be until we reach an empty classroom behind our building. It was an abandoned one, I guess.. When I feel his grip loosened I instantly took my hand away.

"What do you want?" I ask annoyed. Who wouldn't?! He dragged me here against my will!

It took him a few deep breath when he calm down. Maybe due to the fact that I'm annoyed at him, I didn't notice the tension of his body.

"V- Vijie.."

Oh jeezz. Don't Vijie! Don't you ever- oh no!

"Why are you crying Ryan?!" I can't help shouting out of frustration. Gosh! Why do I need to bare with this?!?

"B- Because my bestfriend is ignoring me! I'm so sorry Jie.. I- I know I was wrong.. I really am sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

Oh gosh! This is embarrassing! Don't know what to do, I hesitantly pull him into a hug.

He continued muttering the word Sorry, I'm sorry, Forgive me. And gosh, I feel so terrible!

Despite our 6 years friendship, I've never even once saw Ry cried, I feel like it was my fault even If it isn't, besides, I've always been awkward around people crying- I don't how to approach nor confort them!

Gosh! This is exhausting!

When I feel him calm down a little I tried to pull back; keyword- tried.

"Don't. I missed you Jie. Forgive me please?"

I feel his hold on my waist tighten. Since his taller than me, he was leaning on my body. His chest pressed on mine and gosh! I think I'm already addicted to his scent!

I feel him breathing on my neck since his head is on my shoulders. And it literally- as in literally! Made me insane. I can't think straight!

Taking a deep breathe I tried to think right, logical, before speaking.

"Fine. I forgive you but you have to treat me for a month that you ignored me. Deal?"

I ask quietly still affected by the way his breath lingers on my neck and the way his scent affect my body, the way it all makes me crazy.

Fudge. I need to move on!

"Really?!"

He pulled back looking at me with a glint on his eyes. His thick eyebrows, brown eyes together with his long eyelash really takes ny breath. Not to mention his cute button nose and that lips- No. NO. NO! Don't continue anymore Darwins!

I divert my eyes away from his.

Why am I having these thoughts?! As far as I remember, I'm supposed to be innocent! Argggh!

Looking up again meeting his eyes, I took a deep breath.

"Yeah. So you have to make it up with me, y'know having your bestfriend take you for granted hurts Stylin."

"Thank you. I'm sorry, I promise to make it up!"

He smiled, a toothy one. Gosh! Don't smile! I'm falling again, Why?! Just why do I need to fall inlove with my bestfriend!

I need to stop this. I need to stay away from him without being so obvious- before I forgot that he has a girlfriend already.

That thought hurts but I shove it all away. Removing his hold on me.

"Yeah. You better be, Now let's go back, I'm sure the girls are already waiting for me."

I turned my back first ready to go back in the room when I froze by what he said.

"You know that I love you right? After all you're my bestfriend."

Fuck.  I know it's wrong to curse and I'm sure my mom would be mad if she knew it but... screw it. Cause that curse is the only thing that describes how much pain I'm feeling right now.

But despite all of it, I turned around, facing him letting out a smile. Not a forced one, A genuine smile.

"Yeah. You love me, your bestfriend."

I turn away when I saw the smile he had turned into a huge grin.

"That's right! Your my one and only bestfriend!"

Bestfriend? Funny how that simple word cause so much pain.
