AAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'm sorry! It seems I messed the update and now I'm updating two times in a row. I skipped Chapter 10 while I was updating. Please check that out so this chapter makes sense.

"Hey Funneh, I have to tell you something…" I can feel my heart thump loudly in my chest, I just hope she can't hear it.

"Can… Can you promise me something first?" I can't. I can't lose her again. After leaving Funneh and all the memories we had behind, my life went down, literally.

Dad and Mom got in an argument, causing Dad to leave us for who knows where. Mom started to work herself hard for me and my sister that she was barely in our small run-down apartment. People at school bullied and ridiculed for being the new and weird kid. I started working part-time jobs left and right to support the family. I managed to save enough to move out, atleast that will help ease my Mom's burden.

I had no one to lean on and now that I found someone important, I just can't lose them again. I know I'm being selfish but I just don't want to lose anyone anymore.

"Can you promise me that you won't get mad at me? No matter what I say, you will still say by my side? I know I'm being selfish but I just--"

"I promise." I can feel her smile through her answer. Okay, this is it. No more chickening out Alec. You already backed away from Felicia's stupid plans right? You can do this, be a man!

"I… I was the one who spread those… those rumors about you…" I closed my eyes shut. Afraid that she'll push me away, that she will punch me, that she'll start screaming at me.

But no… All I felt was a hand stroking my tangled red locks. "But there's always a catch right? You're always like that, saying the bad news first before the good one."

Funneh pushed me away, her hands resting on my arms. I searched at those blue eyes for any sort of resentment, hate, disgust. But nothing. All I saw was anticipation and genuine curiosity.

"I did it because Felicia threatened me to. I wouldn't do it if she didn't said she'll fire my Mom from her job if I didn't do what she ordered me to. I don't want my Mom to lose her only job but I don't want to lose our friendship either. I didn't have any choice, I'm--"

"I forgive you already and I kinda know already." My brows furrowed as Funneh giggled. What? She already knew, but how?

As if she was able to read me like an open book, Funneh's hand grabbed mine as she dragged me somewhere. "Draco told me yesterday. He said he was able to track the hacker and you won't believe how shocked I was when I heard the alias of the hacker: Little Red Hacking Hood."

Funneh chuckled. "How can I forget that name? I was the one who gave you that name! I was so happy to know that you were back in town, you know that?"

Her face then fell to a calm smile. "So no need to feel guilty. I know you had your reasons for doing it and I'm glad I decided not to let my anger make the best out of me."

Staring at her, I can't help but let out a chuckle. Seriously, this girl is so unpredictable but that's what I love about her.

We are now back to Funneh's POV

Crap. My talk with Alec took a while longer, I'm sure my siblings are probably panicking by now. I couldn't text them either thanks to my phone battery dying while I'm typing. I giggled. I can imagine the look on Rainbow's face and Draco's overreacting session.

To be honest, I'm having conflicted feelings right now. One part of my brain wanted to forgive Alec and one part wanted him to suffer. Then why did I forgive him that easily? I don't know. I guess I don't want to lose a friend.

I slowly opened our front door, making sure to not make any unnecessary noises. Just as I heard the door's lock silently clicked, a voice came from behind. "And where have you been young lady?"

I let out a squeak as I faced my siblings, all of them looking at me like I did a crime. "Um, I just went to the park for a walk?"

"Try that again." Draco emerged from behind Rainbow. "I just came back home from the park but I didn't saw any Funneh out there."

I but my lower lip, well no choice but to tell them now. I'm sure I'll be getting a barrage of teasing from them afterwards. "I caught up with Alec, you know my friend back in elementary school?"

And three…

two….

One…

I sighed as I watched my siblings' frown slowly turned into a smug grin, their eyebrows wiggling. 

"Oh okay we get it now. I hope you had a good time." Rainbow grinned at me as she went back to the kitchen, probably to prepare dinner.

"Ohoho~ I see, I see." Gold walked towards me, placing her hands on my shoulders. "Funneh… I just wanted to let you know that I support you all the way."

Gold winked at me as she waltz to the living room, squealing silently. Actually, scratch that. She was squealing so loud and I hope she won't bother our grumoy neighbors.

"Hey Funneh, how far did you go with him?" Lunar asked out of the blue, making my cheeks burn. What the heck is wrong with my siblings?! We just met today! What were they expecting?!

"Lunar!" Draco yelled as the latter stuck her tongue out playfully. "iT's jOkE!" My brother sighed as Lunar skipped upstairs.

Draco looked at me seriously. "Funneh, it's him isn's he?" My groaning stopped as I stared at Draco, who was staring at me patiently. My brows furrowed. How did he… Oh. 

I shrugged. "So what? It won't change anything even if I told you." I stared intensely at Draco, neither of us speaking. Finally, Draco broke the intense atmosphere. With a sigh, he smiled at me.

"If that's what you wanted. Anyways, the plan's ready." My face lit up upon hearing his words. Finally. After all this time, I can now finally give Felicia a taste of her own medicine.

Heyo, Mak here. This book is finally coming to its end. After… so many months of postponing it. Ending in two or three chapters? I know it feels rushed but please bear with me. I'm trying to dig by brain for the plot I thought for this book months ago.

Also anyone got the 'iT'S jOkE!' reference, because bless the person who got that reference.

Question one: Should I do a Q and A? If so, please leave your questions in the comments.

Question two: what book should I continue next? Yes, I'm going to continue my other books because why not?
