#2 A Fight

Back to the time we were in the highschool age.

After school, Aden and I went to the canteen and put our bags there. We always sat there.

"What's that?" Aden saw me reading the paper slip. I gave him to have a look.

"Hey, that guy probably likes you." He smirked evily.

I rolled my eyes, "C'mon, love in first sight is not even real."

Aden gave me back the paper. He looked a little emotional.

"You gotta believe."He said.

I didn't say anything.

I opened the folded blue paper and stared at the bunch of numbers. I saved Jacky's contact in my phone.

"Let's go home, it's getting late." He picked up his bag and said.

I didn't response.

* * *

I hate arguements and fights.

But it happens that day, and the fight changed my life so far.

It was a Friday.

We went to the playground near our house as usual.

"Why are you frowning?" Aden said came in front of me and stared at my face while we're having a walk.

"Back off." I pushed him away.

"What happened? Just tell me already." He looked at me. Looked worried.

"I told you, nothing happened."

"I knew you since the very beginning, I know you. You must be hiding something." He said,shaking my hand.

"I said, nothing!" I get a little annoyed and turn up my volume.

"Why can't you tell me? I want to help you. I don't want to see your frowning face I just wanna see you happy. Did someone bullied you or what? I'll always be here for you..."He looked hurt.

"Being happy or not is my choice why are you caring it so much. Come on, Aden. Who do you think you are to me." Bad mood makes me filled with anger. I don't mean it, really.

He looked down and didn't say a word. Seeing him like that made me uncomfortable.

I walked back to home without telling. I left him behind.

Actually it's something that happened in school ruined my mood .

When it's recess time, Aden went to the teacher's office to help teacher with something.

"Hey whassup Aden's girl? Hahahahahaha." There was a boy named Brian made fun of me.

"It's his baby girl, she always need his protection, isn't it?" Another friend of him came and said.

"Why don't you take care of yourself? Oh, I know. Maybe you can't live without his protection?" Brian said and laughed loudly.

I didn't say a single word and looked at my shoes.

What do they mean I can't take care of myself?

I'm strong enough to do that, it's just because Aden is my best friend so we always stay together.

I'm 16 years old. Same with them.

Maybe if I walk away from Aden, I'll not being laughed by them?

But, that's hard. Our friendship is so strong. How can I do this to him? Enough to make me a jerk.

And so, this small thing ruined my mood.

* * *

That night, I can't sleep.

It's about 11pm but I'm awake.

I felt so sorry to Aden.

Seeing him get hurt is so bad. He is my friend, how could I hurt him?

"Are you mad at me...?" I whispered to myself.

Every night before he goes to sleep, he will call me and chat with me for a while and bid Goodnight to me.

But nothing happened. No one phoned me.

I wanted to hear him say goodnight so bad.

And Finally, I picked up my courage to call him.

"Hello..." It picked up!
