"Jesus, Xiamin! You're the utmost phenomenal!"

"Cut it out, Les. It's very mortifying for the other students!"

"Then, let them stare. But for me? I'm so happy!"

"W-Well, at least keep it down a little."

I facepalmed myself because of my best friend's reaction. Lea was jumping up and down with full of energy. The District Level Presscon results just came, and she was elated that I got second in the contest. The ones in the first and fourth are from the other school, while Bea is in the third and Zachrey is in the fifth.

Fifth, huh?

It was already lunchtime, so Les and I were in the canteen.

"Hindi I just can't help it, you know?" She calmed herself down. "I just came back here at school after I was absent, then this is what welcomed me? Duh. Who wouldn't be happy, Xiamin? I'm your best friend. I have every right to be."

That just hit me. She was right. I should be thankful because she was so supportive and thoughtful. Unlike my preceding close friends who just become supporting if the victory is mine or if I give them something on the house. In short, they only cared about the results, not the process.

Les is different, very different from the others. I hope I never lose her, and I hope this never ends.

"Uy, Xiamin! Are you listening?" I blinked many times when I realized her face was so close to mine.

"Gommen, just thinking of something."

"Here you are with you Japanese words again. So, what are you thinking?"

"Before that," I took the burger from my bag. "here. We delivered to ZacDonald's earlier for breakfast."

Her eyes sparkled when I handed the burger to her.

"Cheeseburger with mushroom and bacon! This is my fave, Xiamin! Thank you!" she said with full of happiness in her voice, like a child. I laughed when she suddenly hugged me tightly.

"It's my treat for winning, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I don't need this, you know? The important thing is we're together." She pulled back then divided the burger into two. I was confused.

"What are you doing?"

"Here." She handed me the other half of the burger.

"What are you doing? It's for you, not for me." She laughed.

"Come on, Xiamin. This is our favorite burger, and ZacDonald's is our favorite fast-food chain, so I know that you love this, too. Come on, don't be shy!"

She put the other half of the burger in my hand.

"Who says I'm ashamed?" I know Les. Once she shares her blessings with others, she will not take 'no' as an answer. You must accept it.

We immediately started eating our shared burgers.

"So, what are you thinking?"

"Hmm... I wonder what it is? It's very complex, you know," I said.
