Let Me Be Your Friend

Wayo's POV

Yay!! Professor Lee praised me for being a good boy today. Professor Lee seldom praise students, but she praised me today. I feel myself walking on air.

Today is my lucky day! I was on time for all my classes which is rare, and I did well for my assignment. Hooray!!

"You seem happy."

I swirl around and P'Pha is just standing a few feet away from me.

"P'Pha." I hop towards him.

He looks handsome today. No... not only today, he looks handsome every day, no matter how simple he wears. Like right now, he is wearing black body fit t-shirt and light blue ripped jean. A simple attire like this still can makes him look like a model from the magazine. I'm jealous.

"Are you a rabbit?" P'Pha asks with amusement.

"Why do you think P'Kit call me Baby Bunny? It's because I always hop around." I wink at him.

"Haha... You are funny. I can see you are in a very good mood now."

"Bingo! My Professor praised me today because I was punctual for all my classes and I did well for my assignment."

"Punctual for all your classes?? Are you saying that you always late for your class?"

"Hehe... I have some time issue. I kind of easily lose track of time." I say sheepishly, scratching the back of my head.

"Oh ok! Please remind me not to be your patient. I don't want to die from injuries or blood loss just because my doctor is late." He teases.

"Hey! Don't pour salt on my wound. I have been trying my very best to overcome my time issue. You should praise me for making efforts and showing improvement, not ridicule me." I pout.

"Sorry, it's my fault. Please forgive me." He bows low to me.

"Ahem... I'm a man with a generous mind. I will forgive you." I pat on my chest and say shamelessly.

"You are cute!" He chuckles and reaches out his long arm to pinch my cheek.

"P'Pha, you have been in this school for about two weeks. But why I always see you alone? Don't you have friends or someone you can hang out with?"

"I'm a loner. I'm used to be alone. I'm ok without a friend."

"No no no... Everyone needs a friend. It will be lonely if you don't have a friend who can share your joy and pain. But anyway, it's ok if you don't have someone like that in the past because you will have one now."

I continue, "Let me be your friend! I can be a friend whom you can rely on even though I'm smaller in size than you. I can be a friend who can share your joy and pain and can be there when you need me, but you must inform me early because you know, I have time issue so don't blame me if I'm late."

"Hahahaha..." He throws his head back in a bray of laughter.

"You... are so... cute... and funny..." He says breathlessly after laughing so hard.

"You should laugh often. It brightens you up and makes you more handsome."

He narrows his eyes at me and says, "You make me laugh on purpose."

I shrug, "Who knows!"

"Laughter is a cure for loneliness and negative feelings. I'm your friend now. Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it." I continue.

"I guess I have no choice but to accept you as my friend." He says with a shrug.

"That's correct!" I snap my fingers and give him a Duchenne smile.
