Shistar Rose - boy problem(s)

part 2

  Mid-year holiday arrives and Ros spend most of her time studying in her room. Getting a phone is fun and all, but SPM is her top priority since it is important for her future. She plans on getting a scholarship to a local university and get a job so she can help pay for her brothers' studies. She is studying diligently and tries to enjoy the last moment of being a middle school student, hence her Instagram is updated atleast once a week.

It is when Ros is studying for Physics when her phone buzzed. Bored after an hour of study, she reached for her phone and began to check her Instagram. Someone texted her and it's a Chinese guy who looked familiar to Ros. 

Lim_: hey Ros 
Lim_: can u pls unblock badrol

Ros frowns and she finally remembered something; this is Badrol's best friend! The Chinese kid who thought that durians need to be plucked straight from the tree. 

ros.slm: why

It took several minutes for the Chinese boy to reply. Probably busy with something.

Lim_: pls do it
Lim_: its been 3 months
Lim_: badrol's been talking abou

The second message is deleted within seconds after Ros read it. The bottom left showed 'Lim_ typing...' is constantly blinking, like he's having a seizure. He starts to send messages that doesn't make any sense

Lim_: he talks
Lim_:abbbbBBout
Lim_: u!##
Lim_: help me
Lim_: istg

ros.slm: sounds like ur at gun point by badrol 

Lim_: it is
Lim_: just unblock him

Ros unblocks him anyways because she doesn't want Badrol to shoot Lim. So much drama for two 18 year old boys. It didn't take long for Badrol to make his grand comeback. He has the audacity to be flirty when he literally forced Lim to help him out. 

B4drol09: hye ;)

ros.slm: take it easy with Lim

B4drol09: hes alright

"Ya sure?" Ros says at her phone screen. For all she knew, Lim is probably trying to catch his breath in fear. Why did she imagine Lim to be so vulnerable? That guy has a decent mouth, and she remembers nearly punching him in the face for it. 

B4drol09: goodluck spm <3 

ros.slm: thanks.

B4drol09: stressed? 

Who doesn't get stressed when they are about to take a exam that will ensure their future? Boy, Tok Dalang's grandson sure is smart. 

ros.slm: yeah, pretty much. 

B4drol09: don't stress it much, okay? you can do it. 

'B4drol09 is typing' blinks a couple of time as Ros stares at it, wondering what Badrol would say next. 

B4drol09: it may seem impossible at first but trust me, it's not that hard. 

B4drol09: you're a hardworking person and i believe that you can do it. 

B4drol09: after all, you are the older sister to two annoying boys ;) lol

Ros giggles and it caught her by surprise. There's a warm feeling blossoming in her chest, a feeling she can't quite put her finger on, and it's making her cheeks red and her voice high pitched. She stops and stares at the mirror on the dressing table. Her reflection looks back at her with clear confusion on her face. 

"Ros, what are you doing?" came an old woman's voice.

The voice caught Ros by surprise that she immiediatly hid her phone under her pillow. She looked at the door, where Opah is standing and looking concerned. "Nothing!" Ros replies in a cheerful, high-pitched voice. Have been raising and knowing Ros for years, Opah knew something is going on. But she chose to ignore, since a growing teen like Ros deserves her own privacy. 

"Alright then. Don't forget to sleep early, you've got school tomorrow." Opah reminds before walking to her bedroom. 

 As Opah's bedroom door closed, Ros pulled out her phone and opened the chat with Badrol. 

B4drol09: goodnight ros <3 sweet dream 

ros.slm: thank you :) and goodnight too.
