"Oh a goddess? Who?"

Kristel said voice teasing and high.

"Who else...."

Apple glints.

"Looks like someone has a four"

They looked at Novie's face visibly red in his dark skin color.

"Novie , are you not feeling well?

Kristel said teasingly. Novie looked down in embarrassment and clenched his fist.

"I......I need to go"

" Novie wait..."

Kristel said.

"Hey, don't make her your target."

"Don't you have Jheanelle?"

Kristel pointed at Jheanelle.

"She's just a friend okay..... "

Novie said hesitantly.

"Ohh, I see...."

Kristel looked at the girl.

"Really? She's just a friend?

Kristel added.

"Yes...she truly is!"

Kristel smiled

" Ok, I won't push it."

Novie smiled and left.

As Novie left, there was a large silence between their circle.Kristine suddenly stood up and patted Jheanelle's shoulder from the back with her face mar.

"I don't understand "

Kristine said with a confused tone.

" What?"

Jheanelle asked.

"You like each other, but why are you 2 still not together?"

Kristine asked.

"We can't"

" Is it because of your parents?"

Kristel added.

" Yeah, it's kind of sad though."

Jheanelle answered.

" Maybe faith will smile in your door and by then you will walk down the red carpet roses sorrounding both of you ,while your holding his hand in a beautiful white gown."

Kristel said with a smile and a little teasing look.

"Yeah, then they'll look at each other their their vous and finally.....kiss"

Apple added Jheanelle at them, their words sending shivers down her spines . Kristine looked at them barely holding her laughter.

" Jeez, what a delusion."

"Hahaha. I'll see through it."

Kristine finally laughed.

After school Jheanelle went home with a slight glint of sadness in her face. After doing all her household task she went to her room to answering her remaining school works. Suddenly, she recieved an message from Novie to which she really didn't expect but it made her heart flutter somehow.

Message:

"Hey....are you still alive?"

"Of course duh! (snobbish emoje)

"Duh... your face!"

"Do you need anything?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course"

"Never mind....

"Are you crazy. You said you wanna ask me something and now you take it back? Tell me."

"Fine seriously..."

"What?"

"Can I court you?"

Jheanelle's mind went blank not knowing what to do she really wanted to say yes but she didn't want to break her promise.

"Uhmmm......"

"Sorry but I can't let you court me right now."

" Do you not like me anymore"

"No it's just.... Not until I turn 18 the minimum"

" Okay"

"I hope you wait for me by then and your feelings will not wane"

"Why would it wane?I'll wait for you even if you no longer like me."

" Thank you... I hope the same for you and by the. I hope you can always be my good friend and stay by my side."

Jheanelle turned off and went to bed, her mind racing with taughts she cannot control.She covered her face with a pillow, hating the fact that her face turned red at the conversation with Novie, then the conversation with her friends remember how they frankly laughed and talk about marriage too casually somehow brought smile to her face.
