chapter 7

"Ma! Kyrus!"

I immediately put my things down on the sofa and fell to sit tired. I saw mama immediately come out of the kitchen.

"You just got better at work, ma?" I approached and waved before returning to my seat earlier.

Mama still has corporate attire and will wear an apron. Mama is a manager at a restaurant. I admire his time management and the size of his sacrifice for the three of us.

"Yeah. How are you, Friz?" he asked.

He knew as well as I joined a tournament at the university.

"Tsaran! Am I still, ma?" I bragged as I showed my medal.

"It's pretentious! You really inherited me!" we both highfive.

Yes, that's how close my mom and I are. The door opened when my good brother arrived.

"What's the use of your wristwatch if you can't look at time ?!" I shouted at him.

"If you can talk, sister. Let's just go together."

I looked at him badly.

"Oh all right. My friends just agreed to eat out. It's free so why would I refuse?"

"It's really very hungry."

"Hey! You won, sister? Miracle — oh!" I hit him on the head as close as possible to hold my medal.

"You're fine. You don't care about your sister?"

He shook his head as he approached and stared behind mama.

"Mom, tell your son! He's so brutal oh! Maybe that's why he returned to martial arts and taekwondo training for me to practice. Mom, your son's face is so poor!"

"Hey!" I pointed at him.

He immediately folded up and hid behind mama.

"Oh that's right. I'll cook our dinner."

"By the way, ma. This is what you made me change earlier and don't cook anymore. I already brought our dish!"

I gave mama what she bought me.

"Okay! I'm hungry too."

He would have taken the paper bag from me but I avoided him.

"I thought you were full?"

"Ah I'm hungry again."

He took the paper bag from me and followed mama into the kitchen. Raulo is really young.

After we ate, I went to my room. Mama followed me so I let her into my room.

"How are you? Have you progressed with your crush?" he asked and sat on the side of my bed.

"Mom, what about you. I thought what to say was just to keep in touch with my emerging lovelife." I answered and lay down on my bed.

"So? What is it?"

"That was our first date earlier. If you only knew, ma. I'm still very excited to this day." I told him and hugged my pillow tightly.

"Date? Or maybe the man was just forced?"

I immediately lost my smile.

"You're a very destructive moment, ma."

"I just need to bring you up to reality. Maybe you're still drenched in your fantasy in your crush. But, Friz, you'll remember it. I'm not against the thought of you having a relationship with him. Whatever your sexuality may be. as long as you can stay alive, I will respect that. Same goes with your brother Kyrus. But ... "she paused.

"But?"

"But he must love you, you love each other. The one-sided relationship didn't work, did it?"

"Ouch, it's one-sided. Just wait for Blue to really become my boyfriend." I say confidently.

"Oh hey let's all rest. Good night, son." laughing mama said and kissed me on the forehead before leaving my room.

I was about to fall asleep when suddenly my phone rang.

: thanks earlier

Weh? he unblocked me. I know this #. But wait, did he know me before?

: You know me?

Blue: Is it obvious? I don't like naughty. Don't text me too much.

: okay dear.

I waited for him to reply but nothing really. Not even a dot. P*ta it's really hard for you to flirt, Blue.

It's been 1 month since Blue and I first dated. And yes, that has never happened again. I have been chasing Blue for 1 month even during his trainings. As usual that's how it really is.

Carlyn and I are now on a bench. We both don't have the prof in our next sub so we'll hang out here for 1 hour.

"Carlyn, do you have a crush here at our university?"

"Why did you ask?" he said chewing.

"Easy. You already have a crush?" I'm still carving.

"Well ..."

He stopped speaking so turned to where he was looking. I only think he thinks directly.

"To Pierce? Pierce Sarmiento? Yieeeeeee"

He immediately turned his gaze to me.

"H-hey, no ah." he stammered as he shook.

Pierce Sarmiento is the captain of our soccer team. Yes, handsome too. Smart and sporty. All in one but Different women linked to him e.

"Oh my gosh. That man has a red flag. He'll just hurt you. He's a womanizer. Don't touch him, Carlyn." I said while sipping my fruit juice.

"I know that. I just crushed him since high school. He wasn't like that before. He's very charming and most of all he doesn't know how to hurt a woman. That's why I was surprised when he suddenly went to college, there were sudden changes. in his character. "

"Did you try to confess to him?"

He bent down and played with his fingers.

"Uh ... no. It's embarrassing."

"What's embarrassing? Stupid. Do you want to regret that you haven't confessed to him your whole life? Go ahead, you'll be stuck forever full of what if's."

"But what—"

"Are you afraid of being rejected? Well, Carlyn. It's okay to be rejected once, twice or even many times. And at least you try. And at least you gamble." I bumped her shoulder slightly.

He looked up at me so I quickly smiled and nodded.

"It's easy to tell you that because you're immune to Blue's rejections—"

"She's serious oh."

"Just a joke HAHAHHAAHA"

"If only you weren't my friend, Carlyn. I might have knocked you down right here, right now — ouch!"

He slapped me on the arm and he laughed too much. It's been a bit sad lately. Now, I don't know if anyone knows.

"It's because you're serious about giving advice. I have no intention of confessing because it's like you said before. He's a walking red flag now."

"But you want more?"

"But you have so many questions." he mimics my voice.

"Carlyn, why—"

"Friz, there's Blue!"

"Where?!" I immediately stood up and looked around.

Blue doesn't exist.

"That's what you take care of. You can afford no progress for 1 month."

"Are you a supportive friend?" philosopher I say.

"Your welcome. Oh he's fine, I'll be back to my class, madam? You too. See you laturrr"

He took his belongings and went straight into the building.

"Carlyn!"

He didn't look at me anymore and just waved his hand away.

Suddenly my eye caught Blue in the Cafeteria. It eats alone. I immediately agreed.

"Hi Blue! Coffee, milktea or me?"

"Get lost."

He looked up at me for a moment and turned his attention back to his food. I sat in the front seat.

"You know how good you were before! I always cheer for you. Did you see me before?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?" he raised his eyebrow at me.

It's really going to last. Just dating a little e.

"I just want to be your friend, Blue—"

"I don't need a friend. Especially if it's you. Now, can you please leave?"

"It hurts you to talk — hep, okay, it's going to go away." I stopped him.

Suddenly he stood up and took his tray so I stopped him. I just took my stuff and my coffee.

"I won't tickle you for now but please drink this. I know you like caramel latte. Have a nice day, Blue." I smiled sparingly even though I knew he wasn't looking at me.

We're going home. Just like I do almost every day. I was still watching Blue's training in the open ground. I'm just far away. I didn't come any closer because I knew the women around him were mad at me.

They broke up for a moment so I saw Blue sitting on the grass while drinking water. I noticed he was watching the training soccer teams on the other side. So he's already interested in someone already? I wonder who? He smiled slightly when he saw Clyde score.

Time to go home. Someone has already won.

"Hey!"

But Carlyn!" I was caught in my chest.

"Let's go. We're still really waiting for Blue's training to end."

"Can I just wait until my life is over?"

"Witch! What are you saying there? Are you lethargic right now? That's not the Friztelle I know just to see Blue, fully charged."

He put his arm around me and we started walking out of the university.

"Wuy ... is it serious? Blue rejected you again? What's new there?"

"In fairness you're good at comforting." philosopher I say.

He laughed a little.

"Not really. What's the problem? It's easy. Tell me."

"Do you know Clyde?"

"Yes, he's Pierce's teammate on the soccer team. What about him? Don't tell me you like him again? I'm telling you, Friz—"

"That's not it, "

"Eh what?"

"I feel like he's Blue's crush—"

"WHAT?!"

"You're so loud, we're just side by side so you don't forget."

"I'm sorry because what are you doing. Clyde? As in Clyde Dominguez? Crush by — hmmm"

I immediately covered Carlyn's mouth.

"Over and over? Yes, he said. Just lower your voice so we can hear." I whispered before removing my hand from his mouth.

"How did that happen? And how can you be sure that he's Blue's crush?" he whispered back.

"I know the look in Blue's eyes. Because I'm like that when I look at him from afar. He likes Clyde." I sighed.
