"So, the question for you is... who are you in love with now?" Stewart asked, smiling but seriously.
I feel a different kind of nervousness. My breathing quickened, because of that question. I know in myself that I already like something but that changes every time I see the person I hate.
It's hard to explain why, because I suddenly felt like it was ‘forbidden’. It’s hard to compete in my heart and mind.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself first before speaking calmly.
"It's... Ronz." I just said an imaginable name.
"Your basketball player from Anne's Academy?" Aljay.
"That's it," I nodded.
And yes, he’s a basketball player. He also competes against our school so I met him at Sportsfest.
"Are you in love with him? Hahahahaha... Are you serious? He's ugly! He looks like my toes! Hahahaha," Stewart's loud and long laugh made me shudder.
"Can you please don't do that to him?! That person is even more handsome than you!" I shout.
"Hey! He needs a hundred thousand baths just to be honest with my handsome friend! ”
"Hey! For you Mojo Jojo! It's ugly, it's just a habit, ewww."
"What Mojojojo? My handsome name was after Mojojojo? The fuck!"
"Yes, you named me buttercup! Am I complaining, huh?!"
"What are you? Stop that! Our pleasure did not continue. You kids! We're just playing and then you're like that, huh?! You're both crazy! That's up to you! You just play two. You are children." Riana's angry cry stopped me. She turned and walked straight into the mansion. I was even more bored, she was so moody today.
"His head is really hot right now, what happened?" Eugene.
"He was like that before, it's good that his leg is okay. You Carlo? Do you know what's going on with Riana? I'm not used to it, he's always kind. ” Si Aeron.
"I don't know either. He doesn't tell me stories because I'm busy with you too. I haven't been with him either so I don't know anything." Carlo shrugged.
"Eh, you Arlene? Aren't you Riana’s best friend? You're even a sister even if you're not blood."
"I don't know, he doesn't tell me either," I just sighed. I turned my gaze back to Stewart.
"Oh, what's up?"
"Is it forbidden to look?! You have nothing to lose, you are still ugly!" After saying that I turned my back on him.
I caught Riana drying her hair on the side of the bed when I got to our room. I didn't talk to him, instead, I took my towel and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
I also finished quickly because my body was tired. We only played Volleyball and Swimming Race before, with other foreigners.
I did not regret it because we all had fun. We also didn't make a fuss like before. We all agreed, the game was just filled with laughter and teasing even though English was the language we used before.
I went to bed immediately after my hair was dry. I texted Mama first when they were updated on what I was doing... we.
I lay down next to Riana. I closed my eyes, and first erased from my mind the things that were troubling my mind.
I woke up feeling my whole body heat up. I opened my eyes and looked around the room.
There was a blanket wrapped around me so I was warm. Riana probably covered me earlier, I also looked at the Aircon in the window. It has weakened as well, not as strong as before.
I closed my eyes again but my drowsiness never returned. I picked up my cellphone to check the time.
2:31 AM
I stood up and put my slippers under the bed before leaving the room. I went down to the kitchen to get something to drink.
There are no more people in the living room so maybe they are asleep. I was walking straight, I heard something break from the kitchen so I had to walk slowly so as not to make noise.
I was about to turn on the light when I saw someone standing there in front of the table.
I quickly picked up the pan to use against a ‘to’.
With just the shape of the body, I can say it's a man.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here?" I asked boldly, aloud.
He did not answer. That gave me a reason to rush. But all of a sudden he spoke, causing me to stop.
"It's Stewart, so take away what you're holding,"
