"It was never the way she looked, it was the way she was. I could've fallen inlove with her with my eyes closed."

Funneh

I MANUEVER my way towards Riley. Watching my steps carefully. I wouldn't want to startle her. She looks so facinated watching Kyran. Is there something, wrong? Did Kyran betray Gold?! Oh, I am going to kill the heck out of him. He deserves a good beating. But then, I looked at Kyran and he was just reading. . . a manga. He was doing nothing. Then someone tapped me in the shoulder abd I flinched, I see Ellie. I silence her pointing my finger at Riley or Reagan. Ellie nodded and looked at the direction where Kyran was.

"Don't try to hide from me. I already know you are there. What do you want?" Riley (Reagan) said, confronting us. I think my heart just almost went through cardiac arrest. I am going to die of heart attack. I just am. "U-um, so sorry. But ah—" I was cut of by Ellie just smiling fakely. Too smiley. "Luciel and me just wanted to see Kyran to— I omgahdd, I don't like Kyran! Luciel does." I scrunched my eyebrows. "No no no! F*cking no! I don't like Kyran! Eww, lets just say Gold likes him." Riley (Reagan) face turned confused. "Gold likes Kyran?" We both nod out of all frightened with what this girl suddenly is saying.

"Gold, likes Kyran." Riley (Reagan) muttered all over again. Repeating the sentence again and again. What's up with her? "Are you ok?" I ask, Ellie grabs my arm to signal me to run away. But I hesitate and kept insisting to stay with Riley (Reagan). "No, leave. I have something to do. Something very important." She instantly leaves and startles me. Ellie came close to me, "You see? It looks like she is planning to kill someone. Like does yandere's!" I gape at her. "Don't blatantly accuse her. She just likes the guy." Ellie countinues, "And is very persistent with their relationship." I agree.

I stand up. "Well, it's bye bye for now. I have to eat. Alec also told me that he's attending school late. Maybe I'll meet him there." Ellie pouts, "You're leaving your classmate behind for some lover boy?" I ignore her and tie my hair up in a ponytail. "I have to go. I'm really hungry." She nods and we wave goodbye. "Ciao!" I laugh and went to the cafeteria.

I see Alec alone in a table and I approach him. "Hi, how's sleep?" Ale smiles which makes my stomach turn. "It was good, I'm good." I get my yoghurt and lick my spoon. "How was school yesterday?" I think if I should tell him, "I don't know how to tell you this but, it seems to me that Re— I mean Riley was stalking. . Kyran." I almost told Riley's real name! Sh*t "Riley was stalking Kyran?" I nod, "You mean the boy that likes Gold?" I nod again, "You knew?" I think everyone knew Funneh. Alec says, "Yeah, everyone knows except for Gold."

But Alec continues, "But back to the topic. Riley doesn't stalk boys, more likely boys will stalk her. Not because she's pretty, but she's a weirdo who doesn't know anything about anyone." I keep a straight face, I wanted to say something. But the school bell rang, "Twenty minutes before class starts." I hurriedly pack my food, and try to dash through the door. But Alec pulls my arm. What is he doing?! Alec points at my shoes. "You almost tripped." Oh, what an accident. I bend down to tie my shoes but Alec beats me to it. "Let me tie your shoes, I don't want you falling for anyone else." Is he? Using a pick-up on me?! I feel my face heat up.

I try to tease him, "Oh why Alec? What if I do fall for someone else?" Alec stands up and I feel small again. "Then. . . whatever happens, I want not to like you Luciel. Because that will hurt me right here." He points to his chest, and pouts. "Don't ever think of falling inlove. Unless with me." Alec winks and I feel my heart beating swiftly, my breath catching in my throat and my face burning up.

"What the hell are you doing to me Alec?"

I ran to the classroom and sit immidiately at my chair.

I walk home. And I still feel my heart beating in my chest. I am certainly going to explode. I arrive home and slip my shoes off. I meet my mother's gaze and ask, "Where's dad?" My mother walks towards me and takes my bag. "He went somewhere." I nod at my mother and went upstairs. Leaving my bag by the living room. Thankfully, I have no homework today.

"Alec, On ungrammatical terms, I want not to like you also. You make me insane, with my mind and soul."
