A life to live

Chapter 22

Lisa's POV

"you sure you're okay?" I asked her as we arrived infront of her apartment. she just chuckled at me at pat my shoulder.

"for the last time, yes I am okay. Would you stop worrying? you're acting like my parents" She says.

"you really look pale, Jen. You better rest as soon as you get inside your room" I reminded her and she nodded.

"thanks for today my genie" she says which made me raise a brow.

"genie? seriously??"

"yeah, because you make my wishes come true" she says with her cute voice.

"oh, I'll stick with grumpy iceberg" I told her and that made her eyebrows knit.

"now you like that nickname? I thought you hated it?" she asked and Injust shrugged.

"so it's fair whenever I call you crazy dumpling" I laughed and that earned me a smack from her making me groan in pain again.

"it stings!" I complained but she just playfully chuckled.

"You said that you still have to meet someone right?" she asked and I nodded. I have to meet a classmate of mine since we need to finish a project together, It's just a script...I'm sure we'll finish it in no time.

"then you need to be going now, it's gonna be dark later. It might be hard to go home" she says and I nodded again.

"okay, I'll go now...well rest well, crazy dumpling." I chuckled as I watch her walk inside. she looked back at me with a bad look.

"grumpy iceberg!" she shouted and pulled out her tongue. I just shook my head and smiled right after, what a woman...

*knock**knock*

a lady with a huge smile on her face opened the door.

"oh, Lisa! hi! I'm glad you came" she says and lets me in. I sat on the couch and looked around, it doesn't look messy at all, what a surprise.

"is Bam here?" I asked while she was grabbing a pitcher of water in the fridge.

"uhm no, He went off with his friends earlier. I think he'll come back soon though" she said and placed the pitcher on the table. Wendy is our group leader and she apparently wanted me to be her partner for the scriptwriting for the short skit in psychology class. She also happens to be the famous girl in our class, everyone is attracted to her but I get rumors that she already is attracted to someone else.

I nodded then took out my laptop from my bag.

"so about the skit...."

"it's just about how to deal with depression, we could think of lots of scenarios." she says and smiles as she say beside me on the couch.

"that's great, I could go home early" I told her and proceeded to search about the topic. I'll admit that it's really hard to adapt with the topics in our subjects since I'm busy with practice but so far I haven't regret anything about joining it. I guess I'm getting used to my bandmates but I still barely talk to anyone though they try their best to communicate with me.

After awhile we just continued making the script and researching stuff. Wendy keeps on talking about things that isn't even related to what we were supposed to be doing and it kinda annoys me.

"here, I got us snacks while we're working on the script." she says and placed the plate of sandwiches on the table.

"no need, I'm full. I really just want to finish this so I could go" I told her and I noticed how her face fell. Was that too harsh?? I swear I didn't want to be harsh, I really just want to go home and rest. She then composed herself with a smile and sat beside me as she looked at the script I wrote.

"okay then, you may go...just send the file to my email and I'll finish it" she says nicely and that made me quite surprised.

"you serious?" I asked and she just chuckled. "do you want me to change my mind, Ms. Manoban?" she shot back.

"well then, thanks..." I told her and started gathering my things. now that I did my share to the group, I can freely go to practice without worrying about me not getting a grade in psychology class.

I was about to stand up when I felt her hand on my arm. I turned around to look at her and she looked like she was hesitating to say something.

"Lisa....uhm I know you don't do friends but...can we atleast be friends?" she asked in the most gentle way possible. Honestly, Wendy is a really nice girl. She's not easy to hate, in fact I don't even see myself hating someone like her, she did give me a favor for giving me the role of a scriptwriter so I wouldn't need to show up in the main skit so I guess....why not?

"sure.." I answered then pulled my hand away. A smile appeared om her face and I went straight to the main door with wendy behind me.

I was about to hold the knob when it suddenly opened. Bam appeared right infront of us as the door opened.

"oh, hey Bam!" Wendy greeted and smiled at him. He nodded and smiled at her not even bothered to greet me or even look at me.

alright, I've had it.

I turned around to face his back and pulled him by his shoulder causing him to stop on his tracks. He turned around and looked at me from head to toe with a really bad look.

"what's your problem?" I asked getting annoyed with how he acts towards me.

"nothing, now get off me" he said and got my hand off his shoulder.

"I know there's something, Bam. you're never like this, speak up will you??? I ain't a psychic for pete's sake!" I scoffed but he just went straight to his room and slammed his door shut.

"he's so immature" I blurted out.

"he's probably just tired, give him space for now. I'll let you know when he's calm" Wendy assures me and I nodded. I thanked Wendy for today and eventually left their apartment, Bam is acting really weird and I don't even know for what reason.

*bzzzz* *bzzzzz*

I suddenly felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, someone is calling me. I got my phone and checked the caller's ID before answering, I was confused to see Ryujin's name on the ID.

"hello?"

[thank God you answered, UNNIE! HELP I don't know who to call and I'm starting to freak out.] my heart started pumping faster with Ryujin's tone of voice. I have a really bad feeling about this.

"what happened? tell me, Ryujin" I said woth an authoritative voice. I started walking faster to their apartment.
