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!"
"You're playing detective?" Steve stared at the book I was holding with an unusual look.Yeah, as if he were underestimating me. Do I look like I'm playing?"I have to investigate something," I whispered.I took another note of the latest information I got from Clarisa about Zoe and her friends.They recently created a club for modeling.I'm not sure if this information is important; I'm just keeping a record of everything they do. Maybe I'll get a hint later."Is that how you investigate? With such blatant Why don't you come straight in front of them and say that you're spying on them?" sneered Steve.Ah, maybe my movements are too suspicious and obvious. I'll try to be more careful."Instead of using a book and pen, wouldn't it be better to use a cell phone to take notes?" Steve exclaimed after taking a deep breath.Yo! That's right; why don't I just use my phone? No one will ever know what I was doing with my phone! Whoa, where's my mind? Why didn't it occur to me? Very strange."L
"So, you've found her?" Kenan asked without glancing at me.Nothing I can say because I have found nothing so far. The girls looked completely normal; there was nothing suspicious about them. I believe they have nothing to do with the terror sent at me."As expected, you don't have a talent for spying. You're just wasting your time on something pointless!" Kenan shouted while stirring the meatball sauce in the bowl in front of him.It was a cold night, and I was lying on the couch when Kenan came to my house and asked me out. And here we are. Our regular meatball shop"Stop nagging; I've done everything I can; if it doesn't work, then it's not my fault!" I protested.Kenan chuckled softly and then spooned the meatball into his mouth.Honestly, I feel relieved to see Kenan in front of me right now. Ever since I started dating Roy, Kenan seemed to have distanced himself from me.I don't understand why he did that. He doesn't like me; shouldn't he mind if I date another guy?"I got the d
"What's this?" I stared at Kenan and Gab in disbelief.They were ready with sports clothes and flashlights around their necks.I glanced at the clock on the wall in the corner of the room and frowned in confusion. It's almost midnight, so what are they here for?"Could I have a bottle of water and some snacks?" asked Kenan, who smiled innocently."Wait a minute! You're not serious about climbing up the mango tree in front of my house, are you?" I argued."Didn't you see our clothes?" interjected Gabriel with his hands on his hips.For whatever reason, they must have lost their minds."Listen, this is so crazy! What if you guys fall or get into some other trouble?" I looked at the two of them in turn.Kenan and Gab shook their heads slowly."Don't worry, we'll be fine! Just give us lots of drinks and snacks, and everything will be fine!" Gab winked at me.I can't argue with them anymore; if that's what they want, what can I do?I left Kenan and Gab to get some snacks in the kitchen. I
I stopped my steps. Now, my mind and conscience are fighting fiercely within me. Lenny was bullying a girl I knew who was in first grade. And of course, her hands were so light, giving slap after slap to the girl.That girl reminded me of my old self, and at that time, I really wished that someone would come to help me. But no one ever came for me.Should I just move on and ignore her as they ignored me? But my conscience strongly refused. I can't bear to look at it.I grabbed my cell phone from my pocket and called Kenan."Hey, what's up?" Kenan asked once the phone was connected."When you had to choose between thoughts and feelings, which would you choose?" I asked without preamble."Feeling!" Kenan said without thinking.Yeah, he answered that quickly; of course he didn't think."Why?""Because if you don't do what your feelings say, you might regret it later!" Kenan answered casually.I took a deep breath, then ended the call without saying goodbye to Kenan.I put my phone in my
This is not a private house. It looks more like a shelter for the homeless. I can only take a deep breath, seeing my house filled with Kenan's friends and several girls that Clarisa and Tiana brought. Either way, this is too much. Not to mention Roy and his friends, who will be coming soon. I had forbidden him to come, but he insisted out of worry. I don't know what he will think of me when he sees the boys who are now filling every corner of my house."Kei, where is your skincare? I left mine at home, so I asked for yours first; where did you put it?" Tiana shouted.Ah, skincare?"In the drawer!" I shouted.I walked slowly through the rooms in my house to find Kenan and Gab, the culprits who caused this mess to happen. I have to scold them for this. I thought they'd just take a few people, but what is this? Did they bring a class to stay here?"Relax, this time we brought our food!" exclaimed Kenan, who had just emerged from the entrance.Kenan smiled innocently while showing two lar
With unsteady steps, I walked to class. I don't know why school feels so quiet today. Probably because none of the Aster Gang were making a fuss. Clarisa said that they went on vacation to Japan.It seems that being rich is a lot of fun. You can skip school and take a vacation at any time."Kei, it looks like you don't need to come in today!" cried Clarisa, who was running up to me.I looked at her, confused. Does she hear my heart that wants to skip classes and have a vacation?No, that's impossible!And Clarisa's panicked face made me curious: why did she suddenly ask me to skip classes and block my way?"What's wrong?" I asked when Clarisa stopped in front of me. Gee"Go home, no, go for a walk! Take Roy to the mall or wherever it is!" Clarisa pushed me back in a hurry.Something is wrong!I shook Clarisa's hand and pulled her aside to get away from me.I ran as fast as I could to get to class.Via and Tiana were putting so much trash into the big plastic bags they held.I approach
"You two went together?" Roy glared sharply at me.Kenan didn't say anything and just sat casually in the living room.Dad has permitted me to go to Grandma's house with Kenan. Only Roy was annoyed. I know he must be jealous; his girlfriend is going out with a guy he doesn't like. Who wouldn't be annoyed?"Just postpone your departure; today I have a basketball competition; I will accompany you to go tomorrow!" Roy ordered.Kenan, who heard Roy's words, immediately stood up and approached us."And what if your team makes it to the finals? You have to fight the next day! We can't wait too long!" Kenan snapped."Didn't you go there because you missed your grandmother? What's wrong with waiting a little longer?" Roy said.I took a deep breath and tried to stand in the middle of Roy and Kenan. Yeah, just in case they lose control and throw punches at each other like before."Roy, there's something I can't explain; I went to my grandma's house to take care of something important; we can't
