May

This evening Cherry and I decided to grab coffee at our 'office', The Spinally Coffee Company. The coffee shop is just within our University. Usually there's a lot of people there at this hour but this time its just me and her, and a few students we don't know.

Cherry's face is full of hesitation. I don't know its either beause of the weather or she's just having her PMS.

"why?" I asked.

"huh?" came out from her mouth as she was actually surprised.

"why that face? are u okay?" I asked again, full of worry.

"ohh.. actually.." her voice faded.

"you cant go to my house tonight ah?" i guessed.

"no.. its not that.." she bit her lower lips in guiltiness.

"cherryyyy why?" i laughed abit, quite nervous.

Cherry took out her iphone that is decorated with a caratbong phone case, and gave it to me to show what's on her screen. She palms her face in embarassment.

"I'm sorry Amy :( I dont mean to hurt you

"I'm sorry Amy :( I dont mean to hurt you. I know Harry is an asshole and I can't let him hurt you like this." Cherry tried to comfort me in a soothing voice.

I was shooketh. Shooked, my eyes widen, jaw dropped, cant breath and literally froze. Well he dresses like Harry though but the photo is all blurry I cant really confirm.

Harry is my boyfriend. Hanah's brother. We've been dating for almost a year now. Well for me, I have been crushing on him since first grade ;)

I really do like Harry, and what Cherry told me earlier, is not the first time I'm hearing it. Few people who care or at least pretend to care did tell me about Harry cheating with few girls in or out Uni.

But I never mentioned it to Harry just yet. Not that I'm not mad, I am just not ready to face the truth.

"No it's okay. There's alot of guys that dresses like that nowadays. I'm sure Harry would not do that to me." I told Cherry, determined with my thoughts.

Cherry did look a bit schocked with my answer, but she passed it off.

"This is the reason why I am still single until now, Amy. I don't want to love someone who don't love me." said Cherry.

"Well your Kwon Soonyoung doesn't even know you exist" I smirked.

"Hey! You used to be the psycho carat too Amy don't act like you never!" she rolled her eyes.

"I still am a carat okay! Just.. not a psycho" I said while sipping my last drop of coffee.

"Yea whatever. It's been a while i didn't see that genuine smile and laugh of yours since Harry asked you out" she mumbled at the end of her sentence.

"I can hear u bish" I mumbled back jokingly.

I went home after that. Skipped my evening medical class. I pushed my bedroom door open and crashed myself on the bed.

Cherry is a really nice friend. I remember asking her in second grade why did she pushed Hanah. Yes, that incident.

"she pushed me first, making jokes about my dad and all." Cherry replied to me, not very satisfied.

That's when I know that Hanah was the one who made fun of Cherry first, because she didn't do her art project nicely. Obviously you can't really do everything when your dad passed away a week ago.

Since then, me and Annie always try to make Hanah and Cherry make up. It took so long, yet so worth it. The four of us are always together whenever and wherever.

Cherry introduced me to kdramas and ended up with kpop. She lives with her mom, Auntie Mei. Her dad, Uncle Lee is Korean. They lived in Korea until Cherry is 13 and moved to Singapore because her dad was very sick and need to be hospitalized in Singapore Hospital. A year later, unfortunately Uncle Lee died of illness.
