My Childhood, My Fiancee

Gossip

I was walking through the hallway thinking of the things that happened these past few days. I couldn't believe that I've already accomplished the mission that my dad gave me. Well, that's to be expected, my father said that it is already arranged that my fiancee would be studying in this academy. That's what made my mission easier. Somehow, it makes me feel lighter, maybe because a burden was raised off of my shoulder because of that arranged engagement.

But there's also something heavy in my heart. It's true that I wanted to make my dad happy by doing my part of finding my fiancee, but I feel lonely inside. Maybe because I still couldn't forget that promise I made with a certain boy when I was only five years old, and I'm still clinging to that promise. That someday, somehow we would meet and he will fulfill the promise that he made with me. He's the boy so he should be the one to fulfill it, and he should be the one making greater effort between the two of us. I hope so. I hope he would not forget.

On the other hand, Sherry said that Clint is my childhood friend. So maybe there's a possibility that he is that boy, maybe. But if he's that boy, then I have not only accomplished the mission that I was given, but also the promise that we made when we were still kids have been fulfilled. The only problem is that he is a perverted scum, I couldn't believe that the sincere boy that made that promise would be so bold when it comes to... Oh my! What am I thinking? I've already thought of such things when I still barely know him.

Still thinking to myself, I made it to the room without even noticing the other people around me. I didn't even noticed the noise behind the closed door of the room. As I open the door, a guy crashed into me, making both of us to fly out of the hallway.

"Ouch! Would be please be careful next time?" I yelled angrily. I was still dazed, and I haven't noticed that the guy above me is Clint. When I came back to my mind and my vision cleard, I saw him.

"Waaaah!! What the heck are you doing you pervert?" I yelled loudly as I pushed him off me.

"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean to! We were just playing inside. As I was rushing out of the room you suddenly opened the door and I couldn't stop for the last second," Clint explained apologetically.

"Well! It doesn't change the fact that you are still a pervert!"

"I said I'm sorry about that, just let me make up with you. I promise that this will not happen again."

"Kyaaa!! Did you see that? They are atop each other!" , "Then it's true that those two were really engaged? So bold!" , "I'll be waiting on what the two of them would do next!", I heard whispers from the students who are looking at the two of us. Hearing those words made my blood rush into my face.

Gosh! This is so embarrassing! I can't believe that this guy is the sincere boy!

"Hey? Sorry, how about I'll treat you later after classes?" Clint is still apologizing to me.

"Did you hear that? He's already asking her out for a date," I heard from one of the onlookers but I didn't noticed who said that.

"Hey? Can you hear me?" Clint asked me.

"Okay, okay! I heard you! Let's just get inside. There would be so much gossip after what the students saw what happened to the two of us," I whispered to him, and then I walked passed him and went straight into our room. Clint then followed me after that, exactly at the same time that the bell rang. Start of the classes.

I'm already taking my lunch in the canteen when Clint sat in front of me. I felt uneasy because of that, many students are already looking at me and after he sat with me, that attracted more eyes to look at us. I can't take this anymore.
