Becky's POV
7:30 PM
Saint finally drove me home after the long exhausting day horse riding, playing tennis, plus the food was great.
Honestly, I had so much fun and realized that he's not as bad and annoying as I thought he is.
Ironically,
..
Freen's POV
I stepped out of Heng's car, still annoyed and exhausted about the day we've spent together.
First, he forced me to watch a stupid action movie while sitting at the back by which made it even worse of an experience, starved me the entire day, and we spent in jail for the next few hours because he had a fight with the guy at the parking lot for simply looking at me and last but not the least, he didn't even apologize and now he just left like nothing happened as if I'm the problem tsk.
But then I turned and saw that Becky just got home too.
Saint opened the car door for her like a gentleman that he is. No, he's not faking it. It's just how he's raised.
I know that since his sister Nam and I have been friends for a very long time now and I also used to hang out at their house. He's a nice guy.
Becky glanced at me and instantly turned to Saint, thanking him for everything and that she enjoyed the day.
And I kinda envy her for feeling that way, but a part of me also envies Saint because he made her feel those things.
And honestly, that confuses the sht out of me. I mean I should like this, right? Becky is finally hanging out with Saint according to plan.
But I don't get it. I know this is right, but there's this weird feeling inside me that I don't quite understand.
It's like I suddenly wanna snatch Becky away from him.

Becky's POV
He finally left so I went straight to my room. Sadly, my parents weren't home again.
I grabbed a shirt to change and then sat on my bed.
Now what?
I turned when I suddenly heard Freen's window opening, and yeah it's her and she's looking at me with a weird look.
AWKWARD SILENCE
I guess she had no plans talking to me again. I mean of course, I know my place.
I was about to cover my window with curtains when suddenly,
"Wait!."
And I stopped.
"U-uhm, y-your book. I'm returning it." She added.
"No need. It's yours." I responded with a poker face.
"No, I'm giving it back." She insisted.
"Didn't you hear--"
"I'm taking it there." She stubbornly said as she instantly grabbed it on her desk, together with a sticky note and a pen and then went outside to go to my room.
I opened the door the moment she knocked.
Tsk
"You could've just threw it from your window." I told her, annoyed but my expression instantly changed the moment she lend the book with a sticky note pasted on it with a note that says, I miss you and I'm sorry Bec.
And just like a stupid, forgiving sht that I am, I felt my heart melt.
But I can't. So, I tried to brush it off by saying,
"Nice try. Look, you shouldn't be here. Alright?. And you shouldn't be talking to me. That's what you agreed upon with your boyfriend, remember?." I said.
"Unless we agree to keep this between us. You and me, bestfriends. Just like before." Freen said.
"Freen--"
"I can't take it anymore Becky. I can't ignore you any longer than I already have--"
"Well then, you must've think that through before you chose Heng." I sarcastically said.
"Don't you miss me?." She said.
SILENCE
Oh come on Becky, you're falling for that? Seriously?
No, don't let her break your heart more than she already have. You're better than this.
"Can you break up with him?." I asked.
"B-Bec--"
"See? You can't. So why bother?. Look, you're just making things more difficult than it already is. And I'm sorry to tell you, I can't be an option anymore. I'm just trying to remind you that you have made your choice when you chose him and along with that choice, you broke my heart, our friendship. Again Freen, why bother?." I honestly told her as I held my tears in.
..
Freen's POV
I cried a river that night the moment I stepped outside of her room, and it's all my fault. I ruined our friendship, and now I'm not even sure whether Heng is worth it.
My heart breaks everytime I think Becky hates me. And that made me hate myself even more.
I have hurt her, and I was so dumb and insensitive to think that she would understand.
NEXT DAY
I was helping Mom at the cafe when Heng suddenly came with flowers.
"I'm sorry about yesterday." He sincerely said.
He's not perfect alright, but at least he's trying.
..
Becky's POV
I came to play billiards and rant with Saint.
"..she's blind, annoying, stubborn, insensitive aaargh--she's really getting into my nerves honestly--" I ranted.
"But you still love her." Saint said.
And just like that, I instantly forgot everything I said about her as I shook my head in agreement.
"Look, I know I've told you this a million times now, but why don't you just tell her the truth? About what you really feel for her, on why you're acting this way." He sincerely said.
"Uhm hellooo, she has a boyfriend." I said, rolling my eyes.
"You had your chances but didn't grab it, and now you're complaining." Saint sarcastically said.
"What do you mean chances? Again, she's straight. So, what's the point?."
"Look, sexuality is a spectrum Bec. Nobody is straight 24/7, and there's no such thing as 100%."
"But not Freen." I told him.
