" Hi Lu , wake up! we have a morning class today, get ready!" i saw Ludo my roomate and she threw a pile of clothes on my face.

" I know, just wait for me!" i rushed go to the bathroom and take a shower.

" Hurry up! i dont wanna be late!" Ludo shout at me from the kitchen.

Its only need 5 minutes for me to take a shower and get change, and i put everything that i see in my desk into my bag.

" Coming, Im coming!" im running outside and lock the door.I rushed go to the elevator which Ludo already waiting with a sour face.

" He he thank you," i smile as sweet as an angel to ease her anger, but it seems doesnt work.

" Stop your dorky smile, you wanna curse me huh?" she's getting more angry.

" Come on baby, dont be angry." i held her hand along the way to carport.

" Do you really love me?" Ludo suddenly asked this question out of the blue.

" Why did you asked this question? You know better than anyone." i kissed her cheek, and i get inside the car.

" Huh, what a Crazy girl!" Ludo get inside the car and start to drive.

We're driving to our college, we listen to our favorite songs all the way.

" Hey, how about going out to cinema after school?" i asked Ludo.

" Yeah, sounds good. Is there any new nice movie?" asked Ludo.

" Hmmh , any movie is okay for me. I just wanna have a date with you." I held her hand gently and lean on her shoulder.

" Come on, im still driving " She's tried to concentrate.

" Huft, you're so cold to me" I get pissed off.

Ludo looked at me and she just smile,

" Silly girl, dont be angry. I'll treat you a cake later." she hold my hand gently.

" Really? I want my favorite cake and new action figure! Thats the deal! take it or leave it." i pretending still mad to her.

Ludo looked at me with a smirk smile on her face.

" Yeah, yeah, as you wish " she gave up easily.

" Yes! you're the best Ludo! Love you babe!"

I hug her while she drive.

After a few minutes, we're arrived at our college. We park our car near the pond, and we walk the pavement while holding hand each other.

"Look, our sweet couple is arrived!" a familiar voice approahing us.

I look around and found Adam standing near our class. he's a jerk, i dont really like him.

He always picked on us, he's jealous because i rejected him in our first semester.

" Yeah we're sweet couple and we're deeply in love, right babe?" I kissed Ludo cheek in front of him.

" Yeah, we are. Lets go inside, dont waste our time with him." Ludo pull my hand and we walk into our class.

Yeah as you know, not many people could accept our relationship, they like to mocking us and talking behind our back. because both of us is a girl, so is it forbidden to us to have a relationship? But i dont really care about what they say. Its my own life, not theirs.

I met Ludo when i was in the high school, i still remember it was summer, it's hot and stuffy. I went to the school rooftop to skip a class. When i oponed the door, I saw a girl with a shining black hair sat on the floor while smoking. She inhaled the cigarette deeply then she exhaled it to the air beautifully. Her eyes are round and sharp, it's hypnotized me for a while.

" Hey closed the god damn door, are you gonna standing there whole day?" she looked at me with a frowning face.

" Ah, sorry, I thought there's no one here" I tried to be cool and walking towards her.

" Hi I'm Lucrecia, do you mind if I sit here?" I approached her, I smiled and tried to be friendly.

I used to fake my smile and be a good girl for my entire life. My parents want me to be a nice lady with a good manners, good achievement, so someday i will marry a handsome boy from noble family just like our family.

" Cut the crap, I don't need your fake smile, don't you tired to always smile like that?" she looked at me with a mocking eyes.

I'm quite surprised, never occurred to me someone would talking like that. Most of people here always try to please me and become my friend, because I was a role model in the school. I'm smart and always got the top score in the school, I'm also talented I can play piano,violin,guitar and bass guitar. I'm good at sports and I'm also good at martial arts. Not to mention I'm pretty, I have a nice curvy body and my height is average for a high school students. Well it sounds narcissistic, but it was how i describe myself.

" Well, I'm sorry but I'm not faking my smile"

I'm still trying to defend myself.

She didn't say anything, indeed she keep smoking and ignore me.

" Hi may I know your name?"

" Actually we're not allowed to smoking in school, you better not do it or you will get suspend "

Suddenly she exhale the smoke in front of my face,

" Mind your own business, Miss belle"

" If you don't like it just stay away from me"

She looked at me fiercely.

I'm angry with her rude attitude but somehow it's make me curious to get to know her. She's different from people around me in this school. So for the first time, I want to be my self in front of her.

" How do you know that I always fake my smile? Is it obvious?"I'm asking her nervously.

She put the cigarette on the floor and looked at me with a cold eyes.

" It's written on your face, don't you know it?" she moved her face closer to me and I can smell the mild fragrance perfume of hers.

I looked closely, i can see she has a long eyelashes, nice pointed shape of her nose, full and pink lips like Kyle Jenner.She's pretty! that's what I thought. For a second I freeze in front of her. I got really tired today and my parents just keep pushing me to meet with someone he arranged for me. So I'm not in the mood to be a good girl today.

" Well, I never really thought someone would found out about it"

" I'm pretty sure my acting is well enough, and so far it works.The entire school got deceived by my acting not to mention my parents"

I take her cigarette and smoke it. the smoke in the air is like a cloud, it's beautiful and I loved it.

" Wow looked at our school belle, she's actually a badass!" she smile at me for the first time and it's so charming. That Time I knew that she will be my best friend and I don't have to be fake in front of her.

" Hell yeah! **** that school belle!" I laughed to her while smoking.

" Dang it! You should win an oscar award for your dedication to acting!"

" No one could compared to you because you were acting for 16 years!" she laughed out.

" I'm Ludovica, you can call me Ludo" she raise her hand in front of me.

I don't know should I be happy with her compliments or not, I can't really tell the difference between she mocking at me or does she compliment me?

" Well, could we be friends from now on?"

" I hate to keep pretending everytime, at least I don't have to disguised my self in front of you"

" Would you mind?" I shaked her hand gently.

" Hmmh, Well then.Let's be friends. it's indeed boring to smoke alone" She smile again, and it's warm and pure, I can feel it.That day is one of the most beautiful day of my life. I'm glad to know her.

Not so long after we finished smoking, the school bell was ringing. We decided to go back to our class to take our staff.

" Hei Ludo,which class are you from?"

" I never see you before" I stepped down the stairs.

" Class 1 - 4, I'm just moved out here"

" Really, how long since you moved out?" I asked again.

" It's been 3 months" she answered slightly.

" But why'd I never see you in this 3 months? I'm wondering.

" Are you dumb? Did you see me now?" She hit my head.

" Hei, it's not what I meant" I hit her back.

" I meant, I never see you before we met in the rooftop even you already here for 3 months"

A pretty girl like her must become a hot gossip among the boys, but I never heard anything about her. Not to mention her name.

" You never see me, but I always see you" she smile at me.

" What? are you my fans?" I teased her

"Plak" she hit me again

" Damn it!" I shouted

" Hei, watch your language miss belle, we are near the corridor you better not ruin your reputation" she whispered at me.

I can feel she slightly kiss my cheek.

" Bye Lu, see you next time" she's gone in the crowd of corridor.

I'm blushing but what the hell I'm thinking. why'd I feel nervous when a girl kiss my cheek? Well I can't say it's a kiss, maybe she just slightly touched my cheek because she whispered at me.

" Lu, Lucrecia!"

I turned around and saw Anne was calling me.

Anne is one of my classmates, I can't say that she is my friend, but she always following me around. But I don't mind it because sometimes she helping me with class errands.

" Where have you been? Mrs. Claire asked why do you skip the class ?" she asked me curiously.

" What did you say to her?" I asking back.

" I said you were sick and need a rest"

" Well then, problem solved"

" Thanks Anne " I hug her to express my gratitude.

She seems unsatisfied because I didn't answer her question.

" Where did you go just now?" she asked again.

" I went to library, I had something to do with my research" I lied to her. I don't want to tell her my hideout with Ludo.

" Ohhh, I see." She seems relief.

I'm still curious with Ludo, so I tried to ask Anne about this matter because she know most of the news and rumors around school.

" Hei Anne, is there any new student in our school?"

" Hmmm " she tried to recall.

" Ah , yes, there is one. She's in 1 - 4." she answered proudly.

" But, she's strange. I heard from my friend, that she don't like to socialize with another students."

" She even rarely speak to them. It such a pity, she's pretty but weird." she keep talking furiously.

" Why did you asked for her? do you know her?" asked Anne.

I just smile at her and leave my class.

" Nah, just asked. Thanks Anne" I'm walking heading to the field leave Anne behind.

" Well goodbye Lu, see you tomorrow" she wave her hand to me.

" Yeah, see you" I walked away while I'm texting my driver.

Suddenly I felt something cold in my cheek. I'm startled and turned around, I saw Ludo holding a box of banana milk and she gave it to me.

" How do you know that I like banana milk?" I'm surprised.

" From Google " she mocked at me.

" Are you fucking kidding me? " I hit her.

" You're freaking stalker" I laughed.

She just smile and I saw she holding a strawberry milk. And I have an idea to teased her back.

" Oh my, our princess like strawberry milk" I burst my laughter.

" Who do you call princess ?" she look pissed off and hit me harder.

"Ouch, it hurt dumbass!" Ludo start running, so I chase her.We're running to the field and other students staring at us, but I don't care. I laughed freely and doing silly things with Ludo. We're just like a kids. But this is the first time I felt glad to going to school. This is what we should be when we're teenagers, living up our life. There's no need to worry about what other people thinking, **** em all! I bet, Ludo also feels the same.

I feel so free whenever she's around, I'm not afraid to be who I am. And she must feel the same. I don't know what is her problems, but she just like me. A person who trying to be someone else for a long time. A person who trying so hard to be someone who they're not. Living to fulfill others expectations.Now I can see it her eyes. She's just like me. And that's why she can see through me at our first met. And now I can see her clearly.

We're exhausted and decided to take a rest underneath the trees. We drink our milk, mine is banana and hers is strawberry.

" It's really fun today!" i leaned on her shoulder.

" Yeah, it is. We finally become a friend, that's a good thing" she leaned her head on my head.

We keep drinking the milk till last drop.

" Thank you Lu " said Ludo.

" No need to mention, We're friends anyway." I knew what she meant even she didn't explain it.

We just laid on the grass, talking about a lot of things, mocking each other, and laughed together.This is what friends should do, shouldn't it? One step closer and our friendship is starting to grow.
