A Game Called "Love"

Chapter 9: New Friend ♤

===

Zhea's POV

One week has passed since the day I got sick.

Feels weird to me but I guess it's normal for everybody else.

After our class was dismissed, I fixed my things and headed up to the library.

I passed through the bathroom and so I guess I should go there for a while and do some business, but as I was sitting in one cubicle, I overheard girls talking about something.

"Besshie sasama ka ba sa party sa bahay nila Zion mamaya??" Sabi nung isang babae na may maarteng accent.

"Ofcourse besshie!! Sino ba naman ang hindi sasama sa party na un! Nandun kaya lahat ng mga waffuu" Kinikilig na sabi ng the other girl.

"Imbitado ba tayo?" A cold voice said, and I stepped out of the cubicle acting as nerdy as I can.

"Ofcourse naman besshie, lahat tayong mga kaklase nya imbitado duuh" sabi nung maarte.

"Anong oras tayo magkikitakita mga besshie?" Masayang sabi ng the other girl.

"Dun nalang tayo sa park magkitakita mga 7:30, 8 o'clock magiistart diba?" The cold voiced girl said.

"Okiee besshie!!" Replied the two girls in excitement... and they went out of the bathroom.

Not long after I also went outside the bathroom and I saw them going in the classroom, I suppose, of Zion?

Nevermind, why do I care?

It's not like I've never been to any parties before.... I just went to his party a few days ago... but for business purposes only.

As I went out the building door, someone stood infront of me.

At first, I didn't know who it was but... phew it was just Cody. Gosh I almost knocked him down if I weren't able to control my reflexes!

"Hi Zhea" he said casually.

"Hello" I replied casually too.

"You look troubled. Hey btw, aayain nga pala kita sa party mamaya, sorry ha ngayon lang kase naginvite si Zion sobrang rush eh. Party ulit nila Zion un, isasama kita ano Game ba?" Tuloy tuloy na sabi nya habang sumasabay sakin sa paglakad papuntang canteen.

"I'm not sure" sabi ko nalang.

"Sumama ka na pleaaaase" he puppy eyed me... wait, are we close? Or is he just too friendly?

"Text mo nalang ako mamaya kung sasama ka. Dun tayo magkikita sa parking lot mga 7:30... kung sasama ka lang.. ok?" Smile nya.

I'm not really sure but.. "I'll try?"

"Ok then!"

Haay what sould I do?

I want to be friendly too but the circumstances are just too complicated.

And besides, I have't fit in really well yet, given the fact that I don't have any formal education or even experience of "friendships" yet....

But isn't this my chance to take?

And what should I wear?

If I wear something flashy or elegant or too beautiful, I'll be putting myself in the spotlight... which I don't like.

But I'm afraid that if I dress less fashionable then they might not take me seriously...

I have the probability of having friends and more on not having one because I'm awkward.
