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.
