CHAPTER 10

“Any recommendations for next week's event?” the president of the class asked. The girl beside Damon raises her hand “I have an Idea… Why don’t we have a café”.  

Aku looked at the girl suggesting it, he thought of Zara when he heard Café, because they first met at DEZ Café. 

Ever since they went out at the Siamese Aquarium Aku always thinks of Zara, the way she laughs and smiles was engraved in Aku's mind. Aku wants to see Zara smile and laughs often, that he thinks that he wants to protect. 

“Cosplay Café… let’s have a raffle to decide what we wear” the president said, his assistant is writing the costumes to cosplay on the paper for the raffle. 

Damon suggests what costume must be written down. “The costume that you all want to suggest must be appropriate! I don’t want to disgrace ourselves!” the president reminded the class. 

While Aku was spacing out the class decided for their business to be a Café. Someone suggested other kinds of business like hamburger stalls and Milk tea shops, but the majority voted for the Café.

“Damon and Aku, I will assign you for the menu” the president said, he also assigns others for the costumes, the design of the Café and etc. that is needed for their business… 

...

Few minutes have passed and the assistant finishes the raffle and each of the students get a piece of paper in the box. Aku looked at what he picked. ‘MAID’ was written in the paper.

 “I picked BUTLER…what’s yours Bro?” Damon asked, he was happy with what he got, because he was the one suggesting it. 

Aku keeps quiet and doesn't answer Damon. Damon who is curious looked at the paper of Aku, when he saw the paper of Aku he laughed so hard “HAHAHAHAHA!!! MAID! You will dress like a maid next week… INTERESTING!”. 

Aku was pissed, he punched the side of Damon that made Damon cough. “Bro why did you do that… you’re not the only one to wear girl clothes next week, even our muscle head assistant will wear too” Damon said while not trying to laugh...

“Class dismissed… be ready for tomorrow’s exam…” the president said, he walks toward his desk and gets his thing and leaves the room. 

After he leaves the other student also starts to leave one by one. The only left are Damon and Aku, Aku still sitting at his seat not budging at all. 

“Are you going to invite Zara for next week's event?” Damon asked, he knew what Aku would say. 

“No!” Aku said, he doesn’t want to let Zara see him wearing a maid outfit. “Then I will be the one to invite her, then” Damon said, he was smirking. Aku looked at his best friend and said “you’re a traitor”. 

Damon at the dorm can’t stop laughing at his best friend. Aku was really worried about the costume that he would wear for the event. Even though he doesn’t need to provide it, he can’t wear it because he doesn’t have the confidence. 

“Bro, don’t worry you’re so handsome that you kind of resemble a girl… so when you wear a maid costume many guys will fall in love with you” Damon tried to comfort Aku though he was still teasing him. 

Aku looked at his best friend who is a traitor “I know that you are popular with the girls… Then why don’t we exchange, you… be a maid and I will be the butler” Aku said seriously.

 Damon laughs at Aku who is negotiating with him “No!” he rejects. “Bro many girls also like you… many girls are confessing to you since we are elementary until now but all of them are rejected” Damon said, he holds the shoulder of Aku. 

Aku walks toward his bed and lay down, he gets his phone and sees a text message and smiles. Damon notices the action of Aku, “Is that Zara?” he asked Aku, who was busy typing in his phone. 

Aku looked at his friend and nodded for confirmation. “Seems like you fell in love with her” Damon said, he smiled mischievously at Aku who looked at him with a shocked expression. 

“Seems like I am right… right bro?” Damon said he cannot wait to know what his friend will reply. “I guess…. I like her” Aku said, and he thinks of it every day, on what he really feels about Zara. 

Up until now he really can say he loved her but he knew he liked her because of her smile. Damon looked at his friend “LIKE?” he asked, he didn't know why his friend said like not love. 

“I like her… I don’t know yet if this feeling is love so I can only say that I like her” Aku explained to Damon whose face was so complicated to read. 

Damon thought that his friend was so ‘NAÏVE’, Damon knew that Aku fell in love at Zara since he saw their interaction at the amusement park. Even though Zara doesn’t express herself that much Damon could see that Zara also like Aku but both of them are so NAÏVE…
