Priceless

Five

"Good morning sweetie!" Mom greeted me when I went downstairs ready for school.  "Where's Blaze? I haven't seen him for a while." She said while placing the food on the table.

This question.... I don't know how to answer it either. If I told mom about it, she will be upset about Blaze.

"Uh... we're both busy. He has his own friends of course." I smiled trying to hide my true emotions.

"Oh... I see." She nodded before she took a seat to eat with me.

"Bye." I grabbed my bag and kissed her before leaving.

I saw Blaze with his friends going inside the university, they're tapping their I.D. to go inside. I tapped my I.D. and the machine made a sound as a sign that I can come in. Gosh! They looked at their back to see who's behind them good thing their other friend opened up a topic so they continue talking.

I walked passed them since they're walking so slow. "Crantia!" Noth called me. Geez! How did he know me by my back?! I have no choice but to turn around or else I would look stupid hiding on someone.

I turned around and raised a brow, asking him. "Long time no see!" He said and chuckled. I saw Blaze's face looking at his phone, probably doesn't want to see me.

I just smiled and nodded. I left already after that because the atmosphere is so awkward! Gosh! Noth's the one who's only talking!

"Hi." I greeted Bry when I took a seat beside her. I'm usually sitting between Bry and Blaze. But Blaze told our teacher that he wants to transfer a seat. He sat beside Richein.

"Okay, class. I'll announce something so listen carefully okay?" Our teacher said after the discussion. "Y'all are aware that junior prom is held during grade 9 right? Y'all will be having another prom when you turn grade 11, which will gonna be your senior prom." She explained.

"Your junior prom will be held at the end of the month. You still have time to practice your dances that will be explained to you by your MAPEH teacher."

"Wear nice and make sure that y'all will have fun okay?" Our teacher smiled before leaving.

"Are you going?" I asked Bry.

"Yeah! Of course! Duh! It's our time to have some fun!" She excitingly said. "How about you?" She asked.

"I don't know. I'll think about it." I shrugged.

"Bye!" I waved my hand at Bry before she went inside her car. I was about to go inside my car but I heard a conversation at the other side of my car.

"I'll give you a ride." I heard Blaze's voice.

"Sure babe." Richein..... she said that? I went inside my car and immediately drove away. I don't want to hear their cheesy conversation.

I don't know why do I feel like this! Why do I even care?! I don't care if they're already in a relationship! I'm still young for that so I don't care if Blaze isn't talking to me anymore. Maybe mom was right. Blaze is already courting me but I didn't pay attention to it so he finds another girl that can fulfill what he wants.

"Hi mom." I greeted her before going upstairs.

"Aren't you going to eat?" She asked me.

"I lost my appetite." I said before closing the door of my room.

I changed into my pajamas and did my skincare, ready to sleep. Mom went inside my room. "Is there something wrong?" She asked me, caressing my back. I'm lying down at my bed facing the opposite side where's mom right now.
