"Are you sure about that, Aby? Doesn't it look like a swag?"

My face crumpled when I looked at Candy who was next to me with a frown on her face while her eyes were staring at the bunch of roses I was carrying.

 I fixed my posture and rolled my eyes.

"You know Candy, you talk a lot, just don't look at it, right?" I contradicted her sarcastically which made her wince. "Couldn't you just support me here instead of cracking up next to me?" I was annoyed to tell her that she clearly hated it even more.

 "Well, Aby, your Aunt Anne will surely scold you when she finds out what you're doing. Argh, I just don't get it what's in your head. You're too dead madly inloved for that person."

"You know Candy, they won't know if you don't tell them." I screamed and she responded by pulling my hair. "Ouch!" I growled as I patted her hand that still didn't let go of me. I can also tell that she has plans to pull my hair again.

"You're such an idiot---"

"That's foul, you woman!" I said, cutting her off.

"Eh! You're really that stupid!" She was so mad that she was about to pull my hair when I mock of trying to hit her the flower I was holding. She scratched her head and stared at me in annoyance. "Take care of your life, as long as I'm telling you, I'm not the only one with a mouth and eyes here. There are many other people here who know your aunt." She said with a deep sigh.

I snorted and ignored her. This is how Candy and I always set up whenever she sees me with a bunch of roses or something for the person who completes my whole day at school. I'm used to my bestfriend. What God did every day, I just got used to her.

My energy automatically returned when my eyes caught the approaching bulk of someone I had been waiting for. I immediately faced Candy.

"What do I look like, Candy? Am I okay? Huh? Answer me honestly, please." I asked her one after the other, while she just looked at me evilly.

"You still look like a human." She answered out of her nose, and I didn't budge to say something. I was too happy to hit her any more. I'll just come back to her next time, and rest assure that I'll win.

My heart was pounding as the person I had been waiting for was getting closer and closer to my seat. I want to scream or maybe run to him and hug him tightly. I just saw him this morning, but I'm already looking for his presence after that, and this is if. He's coming closer.

"Oh, Abigail!" His gay companion screamed, causing him to look at me as well.

Without a word, I came closer and bit my lip as I waved at him. His thick eyebrows met immediately, as a sign of annoyance. That's clearly visible, but who cares.

"H-Hello, Troy." I still stammered greeting him.

He rolled his eyes at me and was about to pass me when Brando overtook him and smiled broadly at me.

"She said hello, Troy." He elbowed his friend. They looked at each other and Brando laughed and turned to me again. "Oh, are those flowers for me, girl?" He came closer to me and tried to took my flower, and he succeed of getting it out of my hands. 

I was immediately taken aback when Brando smelled the flowers. I moved quickly to take it from him which shocked him. I made a peace sign and immediately handed it to Troy in a bunch.

"For you, Troy." I said bowing. I can't stand his gaze on me. It seemed to penetrate my entire being.

"Oh, your sister Abigail is really a badass. You're really in another level of courting my friend huh, aren't you?"

Brando made me sneeze. Sometimes I want to gag him nonstop. He only increases the shame I feel because of what he says. 

I smiled rawly at him.

"It's not obvious that you're really madly dead inlove to Troy, sis. Not really, promise." It's still chasing the shame out of me.

 "I'm not that inlove." I sounded so defended.

His eyes widened as Troy just watched me. And because of those mesmerizing eyes I don't know if I should stare at him or just look at Brando. I snorted. Brando's face hurts my sights, Troy's face even more different.

"You're not that inlove in that situation, huh. While earlier you gave my friend a chocolate, now you have flowers, maybe later the next thing you'll give to my friend is a ring!"

My face immediately lit up when I heard that. Troy on the other hand, twisted his lips and shooked his head in pure disbelief.

"What a great mouth you have, Brando. You're just giving that girl a crazy ideas, she could probably think that's it will help in our situation." Johan murmured to Brando, but I can also clearly heard all of it.

The smile did not disappear from my lips. What if I give him a ring? Will he accept it? For sure, maybe yes, because if not, he's too way so dainty.

I shook my head slightly. "You're going home early later, aren't you?" I asked weakly.

"If you're going to ask me out on a date with you, I'm sorry, but my boyfriend and I have a date." He grinned, obviously still thrilled by what he said last time.

I was just lost in what he said. I'm used to his tricks like this. Every day he reasoned with me that maybe next time I would be the one to answer spontaneously whenever I wanted to ask him out.

I posted a wide smile at him. I never forget how much I should have been in his life. I am flirting but with someone who is already in a relationship. And because I like it, I should be used to it being painful for me sometimes.

"Is that so? Alright, maybe we can do that next time. B-Bye!" I immediately say goodbye. Brando and Troy were about to talk when I quickly ran back to my place with Candy earlier. I bit my lip to stop the tears that wanted to escape from me.

That person doesn't really have a brake on the mouth, but since I'm the one who wants this situation, I have to be strong. Take all the pain and forget to endure it.

I'll just think about what I spent on him. That made me cry even more because if Aunt Anne found out what I was doing in my pockets, she would definitely be able to reach me with a pinch in the groin.

"You look busted. What happened to you?" Candy greeted me. 

"Nothing. Don't misunderstand me, Candy. The thing is, atleast I already gave him those flowers of mine. I just wish he doesn't throw that away."

"You're just hurting yourself, Abigail. There are a lot of people who like you. Take note, one of them even ready to build a mansion for yoy, why don't you just go there?"

I walked ahead of Candy. Here we go again. We are here again on this topic. She was asking me like she still doesn't know the answer.

"I don't like no one of them, Candy. You know all I've ever wanted is Troy. Besides, I also know he likes me---"

"Okay, well then, go assume. Anyway, it's free to dream, okay, just keep doing it." She said, sarcastically.

I just rolled my eyes at her. Even though Candy is like that, I know she's on my side too. Even if she disagrees sometimes of my actions, I know that she's still going to support me, because it's my happiness, and I know it's enough for her to see me that way.

I sighed when we entered the room. My spirit was traveling while my classmates were busy chatting. I lowered my head and focused my gaze outside the door where I could see the senior highs walking around. Maybe this is the room to room that our teacher said yesterday.

I immediately go back to my senses, when a someone's wave made me frown. It was Brando.

I immediately sat up when I saw Brando followed by Troy and his boyfriend. The pain in my chest immediately lead to my whole being. I just looked away from them and dropped my head on the table. I moaned a little, when I hit my head. Annoyed, I slapped the earphones on my ears and closed my eyes. This is more peaceful, than listening on what will they say.

Troy hasn't busted me yet. So I must not be discouraged. I can do it, there's still tomorrow.

I smiled slightly. That's right, there's still tomorrow. Tomorrow I will come back with strength again, the way I trick him, he will be ashamed to reject me.
