The Boy They Call Mika

6- Curls

I really don't know why I got so mad at Mika.. I didn't mean it at all. Was I embarrassed..? No! That can't be it! I have no feelings for that weirdo!

Life is complicated.

It was around 12am where I finally got the guts to text Mika.

Me- Mika, I'm sorry I yelled at you, I really didn't mean it.

Mika quickly responded.
Mika- It's fine (:

I smiled at the text then drifted off into sleep.

Early my phone started to ring. I ignored it a few times. Whoever was calling wouldn't leave me alone so I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hey? Um can you come here?"

"Who is this?."

"It's Mika silly! Meet me outside the café, okay?"

"Alright." I got off my phone and got ready then walked out the door. What did he want? Better be important.

I finally got to the café and saw Curls standing with his head down.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you supposed to be working?" I asked.

"... I-I got fired."

"You got fired?! Why?!"

Mika was still looking down and you could see tears through his curls.
"Some guy was making fun of me and calling me monkey boy, so I deliberately dropped his food on him."

I tried not to laugh. But monkey boy? I better add that to my list!

"Why would you do that?!" I asked shocked.

"He was making fun of me! Every damn day Megan! That same guy makes fun of me and I'm fucking sick of it!" He quickly walked away in tears from being embarrassed. I didn't know he got bullied everyday..

"Mika wait!" I ran after him.

Oh my god, tall people can walk really fast. It was hard catching up to him.

"Mika stop!" I ran and finally grabbed his arm. I pulled him into a hug as he cried on my shoulder. I felt bad.

"Are you okay?" I asked looking at him.

His eyes were red and so was his face. "Yeah.. I'm fine." He wiped his tears. I just found out that he was a sensible guy, which was sorta adorable.. right..?

"Come on. We'll go to my house." I said grabbing his hand and we both walked to my house.

"Thank you for caring about me, I thought you wouldn't come." Mika said.

I slightly smiled. "Well you're my friend, friends have to help each other."

He giggled. "True." I smiled and he gave me another hug. His hugs were nice. I liked them very much, they made you all warm inside.

"May I stay the night here?" Mika asked.

"..."

"It'll be like a sleepover. Please?" Mika begged.

I giggled. "Okay fine Curls."

".. Curls?" Mika chuckled "what kind of nickname is that?!"

I laughed. "A nickname I made up."

"I can see." Mika responded with a eye roll and a small smirk.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're really bad at making nicknames" he laughed and his nose crinkled. Omg his nose, it crINKLES WHEN HE LAUGHS.

"Whatever, Curls." I chuckled.
