Ludovica

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.
