Chapter 89

Time flew so fast and in a blink, it was the month of July already and we find ourselves learning about our new friend Georgia even more. It was also clear that she can handle Alex's chaotic energy and can match Jamie's savageness.

Our group chat was bombarded with Jamie's messages after realizing that she would be late since Willmark's motorcycle broke and there is a quiz going on today.

Hayme: I'll be late and I can't miss the quiz! I'll give anyone food if they write another quiz in my name!

Free food immediately aroused our friend's conscience and stopped teasing her. Besides, we always write our late friend's names on the attendance paper even if they are not here yet so this was just icing on the cake.

Emilia: I'll do it!

Alex: No I will! I would even copy the way you write!

After our teacher, the one that always talks about her life whom we don't know what she would quiz us for well maybe it would be how many dogs there was in her house we don't know. She soon came and Michelle's place was instantly filled with people begging for a piece of paper.

"Hey, I have a paper, you cut it in two" I heard Alex says to Georgia. Emil was still searching for a one-fourth sheet of paper since Jamie, our good friend was still away, we don't have sources for some paper.

"Okay, class, please make sure to cover your papers, and now we'll start the class" she says and we all covered our papers with our palms, some with notebooks and others with their handkerchiefs.

She started to talk about what law it was the stipulated the irrigation act in the Philippines and we were all so confused about it. She didn't even talk about it, her lesson was made up of two parts; her life and her opinion. Thankfully Emil managed to get the answer from Je who got the answer from Kris who got it from Barra who was the only person second to Michelle that listens and answers to our teacher.

"Okay pass your papers in front! 1, 2, 3!"

She soon left and Jamie suddenly came outside with her hair still sticking from sweat as she gasped in air. Alex and Emil were swift to their feet and handed out their palms as if something would land on them.

"Let me rest first!"

Our table was composed of girls with the only exception of Barra who is close and acts much more like a girl compared to Alex, his best friend, and Emil who is a girl at heart and has more boyfriends than we combined. Georgia has also sat at our table seated between Alex and Emil.

Her friend Aliya wouldn't come to sit with us and it still makes us feel bad after all the friend that she's close with isn't sitting with her and she's all alone there in the corner.

Classes ended and I made the mistake of telling my relationship problem to Jeline who also told it to Alex and now I'm racing against time. My fear of being trampled down the stairs was not enough towards the fear of Alex running her mouth off. 

"Hey, you Eric!"

Oh God, I already knew what this girl would do and as I look around me, I saw a lot of students looking at us as we get down the stairs.

"Be faster!" I hissed at him or else he'll be cursed by this crazy but good friend of mine.

"Don't you dare hurt ange again or I'll fight you, you hear me?! You bastard dare you- umph!"

She was silenced by her self-proclaimed twin- Georgia and I sent her a grateful smile before the two of us escaped the enraged dragon named Alex.

"She won't really fight me right?" He says as he look behind him, guarding his every moment, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"No, she would just curse you back and forth"

"I didn't talk to girls you know, I'm sorry if I talked to them for a second " he muttered and I stopped walking, my head swivels in his direction.

"That wasn't the problem, what the problem is that you still act so close with them as if you don't have a girlfriend"

It happened the day before, I ignored him right after seeing him getting so close with a girl and even letting her hug him. I didn't even let any of my male classmates touch my head and for him, it was that easy to be touchy feeling with other girls.

"She was just a friend"

"And I'm your girlfriend! If you didn't like me getting too close with a guy then I wouldn't do that because you don't like it and it will hurt our relationship" I was exhausted at this point, it was always my jealousy that ruins our peace and his wayward act with girls that made the fire on me lit up.

I just shut my mouth and didn't talk to him again in fear of saying something hurtful. He was also silent and on the way home, the two of us never talked. Only the two of us knew that we have entered another cold war, something that he is bound to lose.

***
Chapter 89 is up!

Fun Fact: We did that to Jamie, writing her name in the attendance form even if she wasn't in class and when she was late for a quiz. That's what friends are for in highschool hahaha

Have a great day everyone and stays safe!
