"Let's enjoy the Intramural for three days, most especially the Senior High students. It's their last year in this Academy so I hope that this will be your best experience in your highschool."
Everyone clapped their hands after hearing what our principal said. The whole covered court was also filled with screams because they were so happy. I'm also happy for this day except for the fact that I'm wearing this high-waisted shorts and a loose crop top.
I really hate this outfit! Why does Mau allow me to wear this?!
"Why is the beautiful Shara frowning? You should smile." If Kyla had been straight, I might have winced at what he said.
Actually, if you're going to describe him, he looks like a real guy. He is not like other gays who wear makeup or sexy clothes. Except for the fact that he wriggles when he walks.
"Ugh! I'm not comfortable with this outfit! I'm not used to wearing shorts outside," I complained while looking out the window of our room.
I'm here to get the foods that Mau and I cooked yesterday. She's waiting for me in our Food booth since she's preparing everything inside. She said she was going to write a sign and I just hope she writes well.
"What are you, you never really have self-confidence. Your outfit suits you well, whatever you wear. Your shorts aren't short either so it's okay. Your skin is also smooth and you're still white."
I was just shaken by what Fiona said. If I know, she's just trying to boost up my mood. It's as if I've been depressed since I wore it. Add that Mau changed my hair style.
Is it really like this when you have a fashionista best friend?
"Thank you," I answered reluctantly.
I picked up three large tupperware from my desk to bring to the ground where our Food booth stood. It's not that heavy but I can't see the way. I look like a fool here.
"Ops! Take it easy, Shara! Do you need help?"
When I peeked over the edge of the tupperware I saw Hades in front of me.
"Thanks. But I think I can do this, alone. Maybe you have something else to do, I don't want to bother you."
"It's just Ziro, it looks like he also wants to see something." Hades took the two tupperware that sat on it and handed it to Ziro who now seemed surprised.
"Uh... Ziro, are you okay?" I'm still making sure.
He immediately nodded and smiled a little."Y-Yeah, come on. Did you choose the food booth?"
"Yes. Mau chose so I didn't do anything," I just replied.
We didn't talk after that and just walked through the hallway. I just now also noticed that Caseth wasn’t there before. They weren't with his friends. Aish. Why do I care?
"Shara, what took you so--- Z-Ziro! You're here." Her eyes widened when she saw her crush inside our booth, placing the foods in the mini-table.
"Hi Maureen. I just helped your best friend in carrying your foods," Ziro laughed softly and I knew Mau's intestines were already trembling in his stomach.
I don't want to be out of place so I just get out of the booth to relax myself first. I'll help them later because I don't want to disturb them.
My eyes widened when I saw Caseth walking towards in my direction. He's wearing a formal attire and earphones on his ears. He also wasn't looking at it because he was busy fiddling with his phone.
Shocks! What should I do?! Holy Mother of Earth
!
I immediately went inside the booth but I also regretted the sweetness of their position. When they noticed that I'm staring at them, they went back to where they were before. But wait... it's not the reason why I came back!
"Guys! Help me to hide! Where can I hide?" I asked confused questions while looking for a hideout.
They both frowned."Huh? Why are you going to hide? Do you owe anything or what?"
"No! Caseth is on the way here! I forgot to bring his jacket and I know that it's the reason why he's here. Where will I hide?!" I'm in a hurry so I'm not sure if they get it.
"Why don't you just admit it." Mau immediately went to where I was and removed the curtain behind me.
She let me enter inside the little closet made of wood. She warned me not to make any noise before she closed the curtain again. I heard footsteps from outside so I knew it was him.
"Do you know where's Shara?" I heard him ask just entering.
"Ah... S-She just went for a while."
Aish! What is that, Mau! He might suspect that I am here and Mau is just lying to him because he is stuttering.
Argh! I'm so crowded here!
"Okay. I'll just wait for her."
What?! The pain in my neck! Why didn't he just leave?! Is that jacket that important to him?!
"Maybe she will arrive later, dude. Just come back later." Ziro himself spoke so he might believe.
"Then, come with me. What are you doing here?" he asked Ziro.
"Dude, don't be so rude. I'm still talking with Maureen. Just go ahead."
"Fine! I'll be back."
When I didn't hear any voices coming from him, I took a deep breath and removed the curtain that had closed. I was stunned when I saw in front of me and smiled.
"Hiding from me, huh?"
I suddenly got out because I had lost my balance so I fell on him. I felt strange when something is on my lips so I opened my eyes that made my whole world shattered. His lips were on mine and I haven't recovered easily.
"Wah! Y-You kissed!" Mau suddenly screamed so I woke up and immediately stood up from above him.
Whatever I wipe in my mouth I still can’t be bothered. It couldn't change the fact that we kissed. We freaking kissed! And no matter what I do, it will never come back. He stole my first ever kiss!
"You're really rude, Caseth! How's that now?! I can't get my first kiss back!" I growled at him myself and even slapped him.
"I won't give it back to you if you want." He kept on defending himself from my hits.
"All right, tell me how."
He gulped and looked away."I'll kiss you again."
I was stunned by what he said as Ziro and Maureen laughed on the other side. Because I was annoyed and I hit him again.
"You're really annoying! I hate you even more!"
I didn't speak after that and my face was always frowning. How could I smile in front of them if that kissing scenario always pops up on my mind ?! Disgusting and irritating feathers.
"Shara! When are you going to help me here, huh?! Ever since they left baby Ziro and Case ---"
"Wow! Don't ever mention his name again!" I shouted so he almost dropped the plate he was carrying.
"Then help me with this! We still have some items left so help me if you don't want me to say Caseth's name ---"
"Yeah! Yeah! J-Just don't say his name!" I cut back on what he was going to say.
I helped her display some leftover food in the tupperware to replace the vacant seats. The foods are placed by row so that they wouldn't be confused on what to buy. She also placed a piece of paper outside our booth with the name of the foods we were selling written on it.
"I'm still fine and I've bought a lot from me before. If you had focused on our booth and you didn't emote, we wouldn't have had a lot of sales. I didn't touch you up for nothing! " She opened the blender to see if his shake was okay.
"Maureen! That's my first kiss!" I will weep bitterly.
She looked at me annoyed and removed his gloves."My god, Shara! It was two hours ago! Until now you still haven't really lost your mind?!"
"How can it be lost? What happened always comes back to my mind!" I rushed to sit in the mono block chair and humbled myself.
"Why are you blushing?"
I quickly turned to her now with a big grin."What blush?! Not really! You don't really help, Mau!"
"If you don't want to believe, look in the mirror." She threw a mirror at me so I immediately looked at how I looked here.
I'm just stomping on the truth of what he's saying. My cheeks were burning like hell! And I hate to admit that I'm really blushing. Damn this cheeks of mine!
"Is Shara there?"
I immediately lowered the mirror and looked at our store booth. I saw three police officers outside with handcuffs that made my heartbeat faster. W-What will they do to me?
"W-What do you want?" I asked nervously.
"We're arresting you to put you in the jail booth. Someone listed you and paid you so we'll take you to jail for two hours," replied one of them to my amazement.
"Come on! Maybe you stole something, bess. Just go with them first, I don't have money yet. You'll be able to stay in jail for two hours." She was still pushing me outside and I couldn't struggle anymore.
"Miss Shara, we have more to catch so come with us."
Before they could even get close to me I quickly ran to where I could hide. There are also a lot of students scattered here all over the ground so perfect timing for me to mislead them.
"Guys, chase her. Here we are!"
When I turned around behind me I saw the three policemen still chasing me. Shit! They still saw me no matter where I wore to hide.
"Step aside! Step aside first! Let me pass!" I shout at every student I meet.
They also run fast because they are men. My feet also need to run so I'm out of breath. Shit! They can't catch me and I can't run anymore. If I forced myself to run, I would run out of energy and I might catch my breath again.
"Wah!" I shouted when someone suddenly pulled me and suddenly covered my mouth.
My eyes widened when I saw Caseth with messy hair and staring at the ground as if looking for someone. I struggled for him to remove his hand that covered my mouth. Does he have a plan to kill me?! I couldn't breathe!
"I'm sorry, I forgot. Are they chasing you too?" He removed the cover of his hand from my mouth.
I raised an eyebrow at him."So what?! And why did you suddenly pull me?"
"Isn't it clear to you that they will lock you in the Jail booth when they catch you?! Do you want to stay in prison for two hours?" He didn’t beat me up either and raised an eyebrow at me as well.
"How did you know? Are you going to catch me and then put me in prison too?" I asked him with a frown.
He rolled his eyes at me, looking so annoyed."If only I could not. They're also chasing after me. I don't know who the idiot listed me there."
"They're getting closer here! Caseth, do something!" I said in a panic.
"Damn! I need to do this!" He suddenly crossed my waist and leaned me against the wall.
His other hand is on my head and I could feel his breathe on my neck. Even my breathing I was holding back due to nervousness. My heart is beating like a drum and my organ system were like having a party inside my body. I know I'm nervous that we might get caught but I'm even more nervous because of Caseth and I's position now.
It's freaking awkward and I couldn't move!
"Okay, they're over."
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief when he let go of me. His brows furrowed while looking at me giving myself some air to breathe. It was as if I had another asthma attack.
"Don't say you held your breath earlier while I hugged you."
I looked at him as I caressed my chest."How could I breathe if I'm nervous?! I don't want to be caught and locked up, I can't expect Mau to be alone in our shop."
"As if they could hear your breathing. Or maybe you were counted in our position before," he said with a smile as my eyes widened.
"Me? Lost? Ha! Why that---"
"Not really. Don't look at me," he interrupted me and approached me until I leaned against the wall again.
I can't count how many times I swallowed when his face came close to mine. I have this unusual feeling when he's near me. I haven't felt this before but why is it happening right now?!
"Aray! Shit!"
My breathing stopped even more when a man bumped into Caseth which caused our lips to reapply a second time. Neither one of us make a single move because we were both startled of what just happened.
"Oh shit! Stupid, turn around!"
