Unexpected News

Some days had passed since Karry 'tutored' Brielle. And I'm surprised that Brielle was still focused with the same boys for more than a week. A rumor even spreads that they are in a relationship now.

Well, they look good together.

But, what's this uneasy feeling.

No, I'm just worried that Karry will be played by her.

~~~

This time, Roy asked us to join him and Jackson eat together at the cafeteria. 

The atmosphere is somehow awkward between Alice and Roy. They have been like that since that 'slapped' incident.

"Where is Karry?" Alice asked.

It's been 10 minutes and Karry isn't showing up.

"Huh? you are the one who is in the same class with him," Roy answered, confused.

"We didn't see him. I thought you guys had asked him," I looked at Jackson and Roy and they shook their heads.

"Maybe with Brielle," Jackson coldly said.

Our attention turned to Jackson.

"Brielle!?" Roy asked him in disbelief.

"Hmm," Jackson nodded.

"Eww," Roy suddenly said, making us laugh.

"It's not that I hate her or something-" he continues.

"You dislike her," Jackson playfully cuts him.

"Yeah. But, that girl is a walking snake," he made us laugh again.

"Why did you think like that?" I managed to say between my laughter.

"He used to be Brielle's prey," 

all of us laugh even louder except Roy. He rolled his eyes annoyed.

"Really? how was it?" Alice finally spoke to Roy.

All of us now have calmed down and were looking at Roy with curiosity.

"She, Brielle," Roy starts.

We nodded impatiently.

"I was walking home and suddenly she and I met. She said 'what a coincidence' and 'it's our fate' and blah blah blah,"

"Wait. That's similiar to Karry. I was with him when Brielle approach him," I gestured Jackson to help me open the juice bottle.

"What a cliche way. I bet she watched too many dramas." Alice frowned.

"And then did she asked him to tutor her?" Roy asked.

"Yeah. How did you know?" I easily open the juice bottle that Jackson had opened.

"She used that tactic on me too!" Now it's Roy's turn to laugh.

All of us didn't laugh and looked at Roy like we want him to continue his story.

"But, I refused. I was confused that she asked me to help her studying when me, myself was struggling with it. She kept on trying to catch my attention on the next day. But, because I showed no interest in her, she gave up," Roy smiled with victory.

"I don't like her," Jackson coldly said again.

"Guys, we don't need to think about that snake. The exams on the next week are what we should thinking of," Alice said, packing her lunchbox.

We all nodded and get ready to go back to class.

On our way back to class, we passed Brielle's class. The class is so messy and the students look more like gangster than students.

But, something caught my attention.

It was Karry with Brielle sitting on the desk in front of her.

Even from this distance, I know that she is flirting with him.

And what's more hurtful thing is that he smiled at her like how he used to smiled to me. 

I looked at Alice and the boys. They looked like the didn't see it.

There were crowds around them that was making them unnoticeable. Maybe that's why the rest didn't saw them.

That's good. 

~~~

When it's time to go home, Karry disappeared too. 

I guess I have to go home by myself.

Finally I reached home.

I got into my house and was welcomed by Jackson.

"Don't you suppose to be at your dancing course right now?" I took of my shoes.

He nodded.

"Mom and Dad want to talk to you," he gestures me to follow him go to the living room.

I don't so anything bad so far, I thought.

We sat on the sofa that was facing my parents.

"May," My mother started.

"You know the dancing school that Jackson has been wanting to attend in America?"

I nodded.

"Well, he was accepted. Even the school is willing to take him in even in January," she continues.

I looked at Jackson, he smiled a bit.

"That's great! congrats, Bro!" I pulled him into a tight hug.

"The thing is," there is a long pause, so I looked at her confusingly. She looks unsure.

"We will have to go with him," my father said.

I gulped. "In January?"

"We will go straightly after you finished your exams for semester 1," he finishes.

"Next week?" I asked him in disbelief.

"No, May. On next Saturday. As soon as you finished the exams," 

I exchanged glance with Jackson. He looks guilty that because of him I need to go too. He knew that I don't really want to go there.

I bit my lips. I can't go against my parents decision.

Hesitantly I nodded.
