My Hero Crush 22. My Birthday
I gaped in disbelief at what had happened to our living room.OK, I know it's my birthday, but balloons and a big cake? Did he forget that I no longer celebrated birthdays many years ago?"What is this?" I asked Dad, who was busy preparing some dishes for the table."I have to attend an important meeting out of town; I'm sorry for not being able to celebrate your birthday. I prepared this so you can celebrate it with your friends," Dad said as he came closer to me.Dad smiled broadly before finally hugging me tightly."I have missed a lot, not realizing that you are already a very beautiful girl! If your mom were alive, she would be very jealous because you are much prettier than her!" Dad looked at me with a gentle gaze.I can't hide my smile. I'm pleased to hear it. I know my mom is very pretty, so it's nice to hear Dad compliment me like that.But the thing is if I have a friend I can invite,Dad took a card out of his wallet and gave it to me."Gift," Dad said with a warm smile."
My Hero Crush 23. Stalker
For the umpteenth time, I looked back to make sure. I don't know if it's just me or if someone is following me. I glance at the watch that sits nicely on my wrist. Now, it's already ten o'clock in the evening, and the streets in our housing complex are quiet.I just came back from the convenience store because I thought it was quite close, so I walked alone. Who would have thought that someone would follow me?I took my cell phone and turned on the front camera, acting as if I was taking a selfie. And sure enough, though briefly, I saw the shadow of a guy behind me. He hid behind the fence of the house, not far behind.My reflexes run as fast as possible so that I can get home quickly, or at least, I can quickly find anyone to ask for help in case the stalker has bad intentions for me."Hey!" exclaimed Steve, who was standing in front of the gate of my house.I ran as fast as I could to get closer to him."Why run? Something happened?" shrieked Steve worriedly."It seems someone is fo
My Hero Crush 24. Terror
I jumped out of bed and ran outside. My window glass was shattered, and a stone covered in blood lay not far from the window.Was I just being terrorized?This is already the third time I've gotten something as terrible as this. The first one was the worst; someone sent a package containing a bloodied chicken to my house. Luckily, my dad wasn't home at the time, or he would have been really worried.And secondly, someone sent rotten fruit to me.It looks like this housing complex is not as safe as I imagined.I rushed to Dad's room to check the CCTV. It was clear from there that a black van stopped in front of the house's gate. Several men dressed in all black then threw the big rock very hard toward the house.Could it be the Aster Gang that hired the men? Or... Yufi Gang?This is very annoying. How am I supposed to explain to Dad about these window panes?How should I react to it?The phone rang just as I was about to go to my room. Kenan's name appeared on the screen, and it confus
My Hero Crush 25. Unsettling
I stopped when I saw the sound of someone crying under the stairs. Although, to be honest, I was scared, I dared myself to make sure what sound I heardA girl hid under the stairs while sitting and hugging her knees. The girl hid her face and held herself so that her voice would not be heard.It's useless; holding back her tears isn't that easy, as evidenced by my being able to easily find her."Are you alright?" I asked slowly.The girl started to stop crying and turned slowly towards me. And... how surprised I was when I saw the girl's pretty face, which was now full of Henna streaks. There's no need to ask to know who did this because I'm pretty sure this is all Lenny's doing."If you don't change, my life will be fine; they won't make me a substitute for you! You and your friends have ruined my life!" The girl cried, then ran away from me.I wouldn't blame her for thinking that way. It's only natural that she would be annoyed at me. I had no other choice. I want to live my life li
My Hero Crush 26. Blind Date
"We're not that close that you guys are allowed to do this!" I stared at the three annoying girls in front of me.They and their ridiculous ideas make my head feel full. This is very annoying.Just because I've helped them before doesn't mean I want to be friends with them. So, why do they have to keep coming to my house and doing all the things they want?And what is this? Blind date? Are they out of their minds?"Listen, didn't you say you wanted to do what you couldn't before? Dating is one of them, and since you don't look like you're close to anyone, we took the initiative to pick a partner for you through this blind date!" Via explained.To hell with that date! At a time like this, how could I think of something like that? I have to find the terrorists, who are getting more and more annoying every day. They can no longer enter our housing complex, so they try to harass me outside. A board containing my photo and name covered in blood was displayed on the street in front of the c
My Hero Crush 27. Disappointed
I waved my hand casually toward Kenan. Without saying anything, he sat between me and Roy and looked at us in turn."Who is he?" Kenan narrowed his eyes at me."Um..." I didn't know what to say. We just met, and we're also on a blind date. Roy could be offended if I answered incorrectly."I'm Roy, Kei's future boyfriend!"Kenan and I gaped at Roy's statement. Wow! That was amazing!Kenan sighed heavily; he then looked at Roy from head to toe. It was clear from his expression that he didn't like Roy."Future boyfriend?" Kenan asked quietly.Roy didn't answer and just nodded slowly."What are you doing here? Alright, go ahead, don't disturb us," I whispered to Kenan, and I gently tugged Kenan's jacket so he would quickly leave our bench.Well, I can tell Kenan everything later. It's just that I feel bad for Roy; he must be uncomfortable with Kenan's presence. Especially with Kenan's unfriendly stare."What the hell is going on? Do you have a boyfriend? Ah, future boyfriend?" Kenan still
My Hero Crush 28. Clue
I frowned, confused, at seeing Kenan, who was sitting restlessly on his motorcycle. I don't think he's going to pick me up from school anymore because he hasn't been contactable lately.I accelerated my steps to approach him, who was not far from my school gate."So, are you here to find me or someone else?" I asked once I got close.Kenan didn't say anything and just handed me a helmet. After wearing Kenan's helmet, I sat on the back of his motorcycle. As he usually invites me to eat, this time Kenan drove his motorcycle fast to a place I knew for sure.The Tree House"I'm quite busy today; I have so many tasks to complete. Why did you bring me here?" I looked at Kenan, confused.Kenan shook his head weakly; he was still reluctant to speak. The man then climbed to the top of the treehouse and waited for me there. Annoyed, I followed the man. Why has he been in such a bad mood lately? He often scowls and stares at me intently.I sat beside Kenan and looked around at the view of the ma
My Hero Crush 29. Six Girls
Clarisa, Via, and Tiana were silent; they were busy with their thoughts when I asked which girl at this school liked to color her nails or make nail art. They love to gossip and pay attention to others, so they should know a lot about such things.Clarisa took a deep breath; she then showed me her five fingers."There are five girls I know who do that a lot; two of them are our classmates, and the other three are in first grade!" Clarisa exclaimed with great confidence."Who are they?" I was confused."Priska and Amanda are in the same class as us, and the three girls who are in first grade... I don't know their names; all I know is that their appearance is quite striking!" Clarissa explained."If their appearances are conspicuous, why doesn't the Aster Gang bother them? As far as I know, the Aster Gang really hates when other girls are more conspicuous than them!" I argued."Because one of those girls is Lenny's cousin! So I'm sure she doesn't want to get in trouble with her family!"
