EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

PROLOGUE

"Why are you crying?" A little girl with a lollipop on her hand asked

Nicholai looked up and saw a girl with cute chubby cheeks

But he hid his face again hugging his toes and starts to sob again when he remembered how his friends mock him for being a noob in basketball

"Hey. It's rude to ignore you know" the little girl said with an annoyed expression on her face

Nicholai didn't answer her and continued to cry

"I'm Freya. You can have my lollipop. Stop crying" Freya said and sat beside him while handing him a lollipop

Nicholai looked at her and glared

"I don't want your lollipop!" He said and hugged his knees again while hiding his face

The boy is so red from crying and his nose is also producing this yellow-green liquid. Freya wanted to laugh but her parents taught her better

"Then what do you want?" Freya asked

Little Nicholai wiped his tears and the liquid dripping from his nose and faced Freya

"I want to be an NBA player but I am small and I don't play well. My friends keep on mocking me and it's embarrassing" he said on the verge of crying again

Freya pats his back

"My daddy said that I should eat vegetables, sleep early and drink milk to become tall. You should try it too"

Freya tried her best not to laugh at the boy and tried to comfort him. 

Nicholai stared at her and wiped the yellow-green liquid dripping from his nose again

"I-I'll try to eat vegetables...although they don't taste great." He said, feeling a little bit better

Freya gives him a thumbs up and showed him a gummy smile

"About your friends mocking you, don't mind them. My mom is always telling me to focus on getting better and do not mind people's bad comments about me. I'm sure you'll improve your skills when you grow up. I promise" Freya said still smiling

Nicholai's eyes lit up and he nodded with determination

"Thank you, Freya. You're kind. I should be friends with you. I'm Nick!" He cheerfully said and lends his hand for a handshake

He noticed Freya staring at his hands that are covered with a sticky liquid from his nose

He scratched his nape was about to walk away because of embarrassment when Freya hugged him

"You're hand is ew so a hug will do. Let's be friends Nic!"

a few years later

//FREYA JUMAOAS

"I DON'T WANNA GO!" I shouted and covered myself with my favorite blanket

"C'mmon! Get up! You lazy-ass!" Minnie shouted back as she pulls my blanket

I pulled back my blanket and she did the same.

This crazy bitch won't leave me alone!

Don't get me wrong. I love Minnie. She's my best friend.

But sometimes she's being a brat. She insists to go in this basketball game where her boyfriend is playing

There are many reasons why I don't want to go

One. I love basketball but I love sleeping more

Two. Watching a basketball game tonight is not what I'm planning to do. I just wanna sleep for Pete's sake!

Three. I don't wanna be the third wheel again

Four. I don't wanna be the third wheel again

Five. I don't wanna be the third wheel again

Six. Did I say this already? I don't wanna be the third wheel again!

I swear every time that I join Minnie and her boyfriend on their dates I feel myself vomiting in front of them. Not that I'm against their relationship It's just weird seeing your best friend flirting in front of you. Do you know what I mean?

"Go there by yourself. My bed and I will have a date today" I lazily said and hugged my human-sized teddy bear while my eyes are closed

She groaned and I feel her sit at the edge of my bed.

"First of all. A date with your bed sounds sexual so don't say that again. Second. I already told your mom that I'll bring you with me. And third...best friends are supposed to be with each other in watching basketball games" I heard her say

I opened my left eye and raised my eyebrow. I scrunched my nose and looked at her unbelievably.

"Is that even necessary? I never heard that best friends should watch every basketball game together" I asked

She gave me a pout

I groaned in response and closed my eyes again

Silence filled the room and that's a good thing...or not

"Okay. I'll go there by myself. My best friend will let me sit there with no companion. Alone. Cheering. Incomplete. Beautiful but sad" she dramatically said

I rolled my eyes. This is why I can't resist her. She'll give me a guilt trip for a week if I don't join her

"You dramatic bitch! Wait for me. I'll take a bath" I said and threw her my pillow

She caught it and giggled

I rolled my eyes at her and got up from my bed.

This is gonna be a long...boring...thirdwheeleeish (if that's even a word) night for me again...

or maybe that's what she thought
