For Rivero's Heart ❤️

Books

After the canteen incident,I have a part-time job.

"Boss,where you going? Don't you have other classes?"

"No. I have a part-time job,though."

"Are you going with that orphan? You really think,I would believe that?"

"Believe it. Bye,I need to work."

"Let me---"

"You have next class,go. I'll see you around."

"Then,can I have your number?"

"Sure." He gave me his iPhone 10.
I don't know how to use this.
"You can type it."

Then he nod,and I gave him my number.

"Don't text me too much."

"I won't. Well,take care boss." He said messing my hair.

I was about to walk out,when I saw Hanz playing hoops.
Alone,goodthing nobody's here.
"Yiee! I love you Hanz Rivero!!! Whooo! You're so great! Handsome! And a great player!"

He just gave me a cold-look.
"Hey! Marie?"

"OH MY GOSH! YOU REMEMBER MY NAME?! I feel like I'm gonna die." I said exaggerating. "Yes,my hanny?"

"Can you stop calling me that?" He said irritated.

"Never." I said shaking my head.

"So,girl. " He clearly forgot my name again.

"Yes,hanny?"

"Will you help me carry my books?"

"Sure,anything for my hanny."

"I'll see you in front of the school,at 6:30 sharp. "

"Uhh I can't----"

"6:30 sharp." He said,and continue playing.

Okay,6:30.

I went ahead first,I need to finish my job before 6:30.
When I arrived at the cafe shop.

"Marie! You're early." My boss said.

"Boss,can I work early so I can get out before 6:30?"

"Sure,why? Busy with paperworks?"

"Yeah,I have lots of books to carry home."

And I started working.

"Marie,you can go home."

When I look at the wallclock,it was 6.

"Thank you boss!" I changed back into my school uniform.

And my 3210 keypad phone was ringing.

From:Unknown number
Boss,have you arrive yet?

From: Unknown number
Boss,why aren't you replying?

"I have no load."

I called *808 along with his number.
#poorkidsproblems.

I hope he gets it that I don't have load.

Then ...
From: Unknown Number calling.....

I answered it quickly.

Yuan: Boss! What was that?
Me:Sorry,I have no internet connection nor the money to text you back.
Yuan: Do you have anyone to accompany you home?
Me: Yeah,I'm coming with Hanz. He personally asked me to come with him.
Isn't that sweet?

I said holding my blushing face.

Yuan: Not really. I need to go boss,I still have a swimming practice. Take care.
Me:Okie,fighting! Bye-bye.

And I ended the call.

When I arrived there,it was exactly 6:30.
I stayed by the guard house,goodthing I'm close with them.

I was telling them jokes,when I saw Hanz along with his teammates.
"Hey! Wait for me!" I grab my bag,and catch up with them.

"There's your girlfriend." Everyone teased him.
"You mean his secretary?" Someone said.
And everyone praised him.
And everyone went to different directions.

Secretary? Is that what they think?

"Hey! "

"Hanny? " I won't care of what they think. "I thought you have books?"

"Yeah,I forgot them maybe some other time."

"Then,can I walk with you?"

"It's not like I have other choices."

And we started walking.

"It's been so long since I last walked with you." I told him,and he was just silent. "How was your day? Well,to tell you my day was so complete thanks to you. You were so great,while practicing your basketball earlier I'm sure we will win the championship game,back-to-back . With a great basketball captain like you,there's no doubt."

He was still silent,then I notice an earphone plug in his ear.

"I know you can't hear me,I just want you to know how happy I am to be walking with you today." I said smiling.

I keep silent,all the way home.
When we were at the neighborhood,I pull his earphone.

"Thank you so much for walking with me,hanny. Bye,I love you." I said waving to hanny.

He just look at me coldly,and put his earphones back on.
Onto their house.

Still as cold as ever.
