*ding*

*ding*

The sound of the high school students's rang one after another, followed by the haughty laugh of the person who saw the group messaged passed on to everyone by the witnesses of what's currently happening to Cael.

Rumors sure spread much more quickly than news.

In just a few minutes, everyone already received the message containing the secret Cael worked hard on to hide.

Ofcourse, Emma was of no exception.

*vrrrr*

She looked down at her phone after it buzzed to see a picture of Cael, her childhood friend.

Cael was still a boy in the photo as he was born a boy.

But Cael never felt like a boy when Emma was with him, they were both aware of Cael's life dream; to be a woman.

Seeing now the Cael in front of her, Emmma looked twice to the message being sent around and sighed deeply.

She knew that this would happen, she just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The crowd was growing, people were starting to emerge after receiving the news of the girls fight happening in front of the restroom door, in the middle of the corridor.

Everyone pulled out their phones and started taking photos of what was happening, only to be disappointed of the one-sided preaching of the school's famous girls versus Cael.

Cael was tight mouth shut, she wasn't even speaking nor giving back any response.

She just stood there with her eyes strongly looking in a direction as if clutching on her last strand of hope.

It was Emma.

Emma felt the immense emotions and feelings, Cael was trying to convey.

Emma couldn't resist the pressure and gave in.

She moved through the crowd and pulled Cael out of the eyes of everyone, dragging her outside the school and back to their usual hang out place back when they were still a kid.

"Speak.", Emma enunciated.

The silence afterward probably beat the world's most silent room.

Cael's fast heartbeat could heard pumping hard in the quiet playground with the sun shining so bright up in the sky in the noon as they just have finished their lunch break.

Emma felt so irritated after putting up with the humiliation of saving this girl earlier, to believe Cael won't even talk to her.

"Okay, fine.", Emma threatened to leave Cael alone.

Afraid to suffer any more longer, Cael called out to Emma, "W-wait.."

Emma stopped and turned her head back, "So you have decided to stop ignoring me now, Cael?"

"I'm... sorry, I thought.. you never recognized me...", Cael answered.

"I was waiti-", both Cael and Emma spoke at the same time.

"Jinx!", Emma called out.

Cael laughed as she remembered of what they used to battle over; the memories she held deep in her heart.

"Haha, you spoke!", Emma caught Cael.

"Now, you have to talk as a consequence.", Emma added.

Cael felt so comfortable after having small talks with Emma and trusted her old friend.

She told her everything, of how and what happened with the girls.
