He's Obsessed With Her
Chapter 1
Ren
Hey dude! Let's rate girls who'll pass in front of us!
Ren
Eh? Come on, guys! Just for fun!
Ren
Let's rate them from 1 to 10. 10 will be the highest.
Strace
Fine. Just for today.
Ren
Okay! Let's go! Someone is coming. Wehehe.
First girl walks in front of them.
Ren
Hmm.. mine is 8. What about you guys?
Ren
Ehhh???! How cruel you guys. She's cute!
Ren
Woaaah! She's pretty! Definitely, 10 for me!
Strace
Dude, you're too noisy. Can't you just give your vote quietly?
Ren
Guys, you're too cruel to cute girls.
Leon
We need to get to class. The bell will ring soon.
Ren
Wait! Last two girls and we're done. Pleaseeeee! I need to see more cute girls. Huhu
Ren
Waaaah!!! Too cute! 10 for me!
Leon
Ugh. You're too noisy. 5 for me.
They wait for about 5 minutes and no girls in sighting.
Ren
Waiiiiiit!! I saw someone coming!
Strace
Okay this will be the last one. I'm already bored.
They all waiting for her to pass by.
Leon
She looks cold. She's too poker faced.
Ren
Does she have any expression?
Leon
Her face is always blank.
They all looked at her as she pass by.
Her eyes is in the front only. She did not even took a glance at the boys.
Leon
Strace, you're all over her since that summer, right?
Chapter 2
Strace
Good time for a little jog
Strace
Come here boy! *whistle*
Strace
We need to go before the sun comes up. Come on!
He put on his jogging pants and shirt and grab his dog's leash.
And went out to start his day.
Strace
Hmm. Less people. I like it.
He was now passing by the playground in the subdivision.
Suddenly, his dog started barking.
He was barking at someone.
Then, I saw this pale white girl with her long black hair almost covering her face.
Strace
Newt, tch. tch. Shut up.
The dog is still barking at that girl.
Strace
I think she's new here. I haven't seen her before.
The surrounding started to clear. The sun is now rising.
That girl's back is facing me. I can't see her face.
Her black hair was blown by the wind.
She's now started to ride her bike.
Strace
I'll wait for her to pass this way.
Strace
Wait, what's wrong with me?
Strace
Nah. I'm just curious. Just want to see her face.
My dog was barking again at the girl.
I suddenly loosen the grip on his leash.
The girl noticed it and she tried to drive fast.
He jumped on the girl and they both fell on the ground.
Strace
Uhm, Miss. Are you okay?
Strace
My dog's got off the leash.
I noticed Newt was rubbing his body on her.
Strace
I thought he's angry at the girl. *whispher*
Strace
I'm really sorry again, Miss.
Her voice is just monotone.
She's wiping off the dust on her clothes.
I noticed she has a wound on her hand.
I tried to touch her hand to see her wound.
Strace
I just want to treat your wound
Freya
You don't have anything with you beside your dog
Strace
Uh.. y-you are right. Haha
Strace
Uh.. You're new here?
Strace
What are you doing he-
Freya
Stop asking questions
Strace
I'm really sorry for what happened.
Strace
You know, my dog here.. I think he likes you.
Strace
It's just really a wrong timing because he jumped on you while you were riding a bike.
I noticed how she looks at the dog and her lips twitched a little bit.
And then, her poker face comes back again. As if I didn't saw her smile.
Freya
I don't accept apologies
Strace
Then, do you accept cash?
She's looking at me with her dead eyes.
Strace
If you come with me, I think I have a cash at home. Don't worry, I don't mean harm.
Strace
Is it okay with you if I'll give you cash for a compensation?
Strace
I'm really sorry fo-- ****! What the hell?!!
And her knuckles hit my face. I felt it.
How can this girl punches like a big man?
I think I tasted a bit of blood in my mouth.
Strace
What the hell was that for?
Freya
That's for not gripping tightly on your dog's leash.
She patted my dog on the head and left without looking at me.
Chapter 3
Starting from that day, I got curious with that girl.
The girl with a dark hair and no emotion face.
Strace
I can't stop thinking about her
Strace
How can I forget about her if until now, I can still feel her punch on my face
Strace
That girl is something
Strace
Just wait, and I will know you more.
I got her investigated and I knew everything about her.
She's not from this city. She's too far away.
I thought first that she is a runaway.
But, I learned from my source that she's already an orphan because her parents died when she was young.
Strace
I must take care of her.
Leon
What are you mumbling about?
I'm with my friend, Leon.
I have two friends and we lived in the same subdivision.
The other one is not here yet
Leon
Dude, you're a creep.
Leon
You're too obsessed with her.
Leon
What's special about her anyway?
Strace
I want her to be with me.
Leon
She's an orphan, right?
Leon
Why don't you adopt her and be her mother?
Strace
Haha. Very funny, dude.
Strace
And for your information, she's not staying in an orphanage.
Leon
So, you basically know everything about her?
Freya
Is there someone talking about me?
Gertrude
Are you okay, darling? You have a cold?
Freya
This is nothing, Gertrude.
Gertrude
You sure? You can take a rest for today.
Gertrude
Well, we don't have many customers today though.
Freya
No, it's okay. I'm really fine. You will be on your own if I will go home.
Freya
Besides, who will take the delivery if I'm not around?
Gertrude
You really are hard-headed, young lady. Take care of your body. You're still young but you're working your butt's off.
Freya
Yeah. yeah. Thanks for thinking about me, Gertrude. *winks*
Gertrude is my boss. She owns a mini fast food chain.
I worked for her since I got on college. Now, I'm in third year and still have the job.
This work really helps me a lot. It is my source of income for all the bills I have.
Gertrude being my boss is a bonus for sure. She always takes care of me like her own.
I am living on my own, I don't have guardians anymore.
Maybe, I do have relatives but I think they don't care about me.
Well, I don't care about them too.
I'm an orphan at a young age but that orphanage sucks. So, I have to sneak out and live on my own.
Well, I'm living on my own now for 10 years and having this job and Gertrude as my boss was a blessing.
I earned a lot from working with her because she was so thoughtful.
Freya
What's with me today?
Freya
Is someone really talking about me?
Gertrude
Freya, take a rest my dear. You're sneezing too much.
Freya
Gertrude, I'm so fine. I don't have any cold or fever or what.
Freya
Maybe someone's talking behind my back. That explains the sneezing.
Gertrude
Oh, maybe someone's having a crush on you.
Gertrude
Do you have any admirer, Freya?
Freya
Definitely, no one is interested on me.
Freya
And I'm not interested in anyone right now.
Freya
I'm busy earning money for my future.
Gertrude
I'm happy you're thinking about your future.
Gertrude
But, don't work too hard. You're missing your social life. Enjoy your youth. You're still young, my dear.
Freya
Ugh, Gertrude. Here we go again with your lectures.
Gertrude
Young lady, I'm serious. You should be--
Gertrude
I'll get back to you later.
Gertrude sternly looked at me before answering the phone.
Gertrude
Someone ordered pizza for their lunch.
Gertrude
I'll send this order to the chef. I'll be back.
Freya
It's too hot today. I hope I will just deliver that food somewhere near.
Freya
I'll just wear my hoodie.
Freya
Okay! I'm ready for the delivery!
Freya
Who ordered pizza for lunch. That's just so weird.
Gertrude
Yeah, and they ordered a lot. There must be a party or something.
Freya
Party in the afternoon?
Leon
Dude, are you in love?
Leon
You're ordering pizza from the restaurant she's working on?
Strace
Yeah. What's wrong with that?
Leon
Yeah, nothing's wrong.
Leon
You just ordered 10 boxes of pizza!
Strace
Maybe, if I ordered a lot she will get a bonus from her boss.
Leon
She's just a delivery girl. She'll get tip from the one who ordered, not from her boss!
Strace
Oh? Is that how it works?
Strace
Then, I'll just tip her a big amount.
Leon
Yeah, and get punch again.
Leon
Remember what happened last week?
Leon
You offered her money and you got bruises.
Strace
She will not get offended this time, because she's working.
Leon
What about the pizza?
Leon
We surely can't eat all of it.
Leon
Ren is not here to finish it off.
Ren is their other friend. And he is a big eater.
Strace
We'll just give it to her
Leon
Haha! You're just looking for bruises again.
Gertrude
The pizzas are ready.
Gertrude
Are you really fine today?
Gertrude
I'll just ask someone to be the delivery guy today
Freya
Gertrude, I'm really fine. Thanks for thinking about me but I'm fine, really.
Gertrude
Okay, I won't argue you.
Freya
Thanks. I'll deliver it now. See you later
Leon
For the delivery girl?
Leon
Wait, dude. What if she's not the one who will deliver it.
Strace
It's because I know that she's the one who did all the delivery because she ask her boss for a bigger salary than being just a normal staff in that restaurant.
Strace
I didn't know if her boss is a guy or girl.
Strace
What if it's a guy?
Leon
Yeah. And what if he will take advantage of her because she's pretty.
Leon
Or what if her boss is a guy and still young? And they will fall for each other..
Strace
I will make sure she will be out on that fast food chain tomorrow.
Strace
I will let someone offer her another job.
Strace
Wait.. What if I will offer her to work at our company?
Leon
Hey, calm down! I'm just joking. Ha ha ha!
Strace
No. What if it's true?
Strace
I'll find out today if her boss is a guy or girl.
Strace
I'll call my investigator.
Leon
Hey, hey! I said calm down. You're thinking too much.
Leon
It's funny, really. Ha ha ha!
Leon
Let's ask her when she arrives.
Leon
I'll help you this time. For your love life.
Strace
You're getting annoying
Freya
10 boxes of pizza for freak sake!
Freya
My arms will surely hurt later.
Freya
Can someone open the door already?!
Freya
This condominium building is one of the most tallest building in this city.
Freya
One condominium room must cost million dollars.
Freya
I think it's more expensive than my life.
Freya
*Thinking
It's quiet. I thought there's a party or gathering or something. Did I get the wrong room number?
Freya
Ahh. You ordered pizza?
Strace
Ah. Oh, yeah! Yeah. Uh..
Freya
*Thinking
What's wrong with him?
Freya
Ah, here's your pizza, Sir. You ordered 10 boxes of Meat and Mushroom pizza.
Strace
I'll get the other five. Can you put the other five on the table? Would you mind getting inside?
Strace
Ah, stop with the sir. I think we're just the same age.
He widened the opening of the door to let me in.
I'm pointing on the table I saw after I get inside. I saw an empty table beside an aquarium.
I saw him putting the pizza on the table in the living room.
There's a guy sitting on the expensive looking sofa.
And I just noticed that there's just the two of them.
The guy who opened the door and the one whose in the living room.
Strace
Oh, right! I'm so sorry.
He left to get the payment.
The way he said sorry. It's very familiar.
I almost jumped when this guy suddenly speaks to me.
I noticed a while ago that he's just staring at me with a smirk plastered on his face.
Leon
I didn't know that a girl can do deliveries.
Freya
*Thinking
Weird. They're both weird. Am I safe here?
Leon
You're boss must be paying you a big amount for doing the delivery.
Leon
A girl doing the delivery. That's just weird.
Freya
*Thinking
You and your friend are the weird ones.
Strace
Here's the payment. Thank you so much.
He handed me an amount more than the cost of the 10 boxes of pizza.
His hand slightly touched my fingers as he handed the money.
Leon
Dude, it's weird, right?
Leon
A delivery girl is weird.
When the other guy said that, I looked at him.
Our eyes met because he's already looking at me.
Freya
It's not weird as ordering a 10 boxes of pizza for two.
Leon
Your boss must be happy right now to sold off 10 big pizzas.
Freya
Yeah. Thanks to both of you. I should go n--
Leon
Most of the men who owned food business are very strict, I heard. Your boss must be tough, right?
What's with the chit-chat?
Freya
My boss is an old woman and she's definitely not strict.
Leon
Oh.. Okay. So, the owner is not a guy.
He looks at his frienda and laugh. Weird.
The other guy is just quiet and I think he keeps on looking at me.
His stares sent shiver on my spine.
Leon
Oh, yeah. Nice talking to you.
I went straight to the door and close it when I'm outside.
Everything's just so weird.
As I was heading to the elevator. I noticed that the amount of money that the guy paid is too much.
Freya
Ugh. I should go back.
I turn back to head on 105.
I was about to ring the doorbell when suddenly the door opened.
That guy with the silver hair came running at me. But he's not looking. It's like he's talking to his friend.
Strace
I got to ask her number.
Uh-oh! He's not looking. We're gonna bump each other!
I just closed my eyes when his body already bumped into me.
A loud thud surrounds the hallway as we fell on the floor.
His nose were almost touching mine.
Why is he just looking at me?
Can he get off on top of me already?
I touch his jaw to prevent him from getting closer.
Freya
Can you move already?
But I get up on my own ignoring his hand.
Strace
Uh, no. It's my tip for you.
Freya
This amount is too big for a tip
Strace
Uh.. I usually g-gave tips like that.
Freya
Oh, okay. Thanks for the tip.
Freya
I should really go now.
It's not usual for me having a 100 dollar for a tip.
Thanks to that weird guy.
