Head Over Heels

"CHRIS, what's up with you and Iman?"

Chris turned wide-eyed and, almost chocked on the food he was eating. He knocked on his chest, whilst coughing before speaking up "What up with what?"

Jet rolls his eyes "You and Iman. Why are you guys talking with each other so much now? Seems suspicious.." Chris pushed him, lightly, aside "Nothing's going on! I- I mean we just hung around each other a lot and stuff because we're both Kombats! You know?" He grins awkwardly..

"Hey, Jet, our class starts in an hour. Wanna go early?" Chris jumped at the sudden voice behind him. As he turns around, he find Roza standing there. "Okay, but I need to catch up with Chris for a little bit before go." Jet responded. It made Roza turns her head to Chris, "Oh yeah, reminds me, what's up with you and Iman, dude?"

Chris wants to groan. "I know right?" Jet says. "Seems like you two really likes to talk to each other often these days.. I don't know.." Roza grins, while turning to Jet, who nodded in agreement. "Guys! Nothing is happening between me and Iman. We just... Talk about TV shows and Video games and Kombat-ing stuff.." Chris tries his best to look less suspicious, but he fails miserably. Roza and Jet is already on to him.

"You sure you don't talk about how you both are planning to get married in the future??" Jet chuckles, it was silly, but the thought of that ever happening has made Chris's face turn from white, to a tint of pink. "Awhh, are you blushing Chris?? He's blushing!"

Roza followed along to laugh as well. "Stop it! That's ridiculous and makes no sense.." Chris crosses his arms in defense. "I'm not blushing- I uhm, anyways like I said- there's nothing happening between me and Iman! We're just, chatting you know? No big deal." He then once again over-explained his action, and it made Roza and Jet's wanna laugh again, because it's rediculous how hard Chris is trying to defend himself.

"What are you guys talking about?" Bulat suddenly joined in. "What's up, Bulat? Oh, we're just talkin to Chris about.. Something something!" Jet says along.

"Ooh okay okay! Oh by the way Chris, it's good that you befriended Iman! She's a really nice person, you two would get along really well." Chris exhaled in relief that Bulat doesn't mention- "To be honest, you two look so perfect together, at first I thought you two were dating or someth-"

Chris groans in frustration "No!! Y-you can't date each other that's bad!! If you guys don't shut!!—"

"What's going on here? Chris, our class is starting, we should go!" They turn around to see Iman. Chris panicked "O-OH! Oh uhm, yeah, Nothing's going on! We're just talking!! Yeah, let's go to our class, Iman!" Chris chuckled nervously and walks Iman away from the group.

Roza rolls her eyes "Oh, he's so head over hells."

"What does that mean?" Bulat asks.

She just shrugged "Eh— I dunno, learned it in english class, but never really payed attention."

"Ohh.."

Meanwhile, Iman and Chris are walking together to their class "What are you guys talking about earlier?" She asks. "We're just.. Talking about uhm," Chris nervously looks around while scratching the back of his neck. "uhm, well, we were just talking about.. You know, stuff!" He chuckled again, it doesn't convince Iman that he was telling the truth.

"Chris, it's bad to lie to your friend.." Iman looks to him, with those sad puppy eyes, it made Chris feel really uncertain about what he is feelings now. "Uhm, uh.." he lets out. "Uhm.. okay, we were- I mean, THEY were just askin me about the way we were.. and stuff, heh."

"Ohh, yeah, Mika comes up to me yesterday and did the same.. I'm so sorry Chris, we can stop talking for a couple weeks to let them go, if you wanna.." "WhAt??! I don't want that! Hey, Iman it's fine, they're just being them and it's okay. I'm not going to let their silly little teasing games get in the way of our.. Friendship!" They both stopped walking as Chris said that, while looking into Iman's eyes. Iman was quite, but she nodded then smiled softly.

"Thank you so much," Chris was frozen at the spot. His face felt like it's burning and his heart is beating very fast in his chest. He can't think anymore.. "Oh.. No problem!" He returned Iman's smile, with his own.

"Ah, come on, we're going to be late, Mr Bakar is going to be worried!!"

Then, Iman and Chris made the run for their class. Chris almost tripped and fall but he kept running and it the both of them giggled and laugh like two little children..

The end!
