Erm…she replied?
AI: No, not yet. 😒
...
She read the message, right?
...
AI: Yes, but no reply yet. 😒
...
Is she typing?
…..
AI: Seriously? 🙄
What? Aren't you curious about why Clara's in the club too?
I mean….how'd she joined?
AI: Could it be just a coincidence? Maybe Stella and Clara already knew each other for a long time.
It doesn't make any sense when people who joined the club are someone that I know.
It's getting creepier when I think about it? 💀
Just when I was emerging in the conspiracies, a finger tapped onto my shoulder from behind….
I turned around, it was a girl with a ponytail at the side blushing with her wandering eyes and anxiously fiddling with her tie.
I took a look at her badge — she's a Form 2 junior.
Me: Ye…yes?
Yeah, I thought I did something wrong until I saw a group of girls sitting at the corner of the canteen watching us.
"I…..I love you."
...huh??? 💀
"(Ptzzz, quick. Tell me you love me.)"
Me: Huh?
"Just do it, please."
...
Me: I…..love you too…
After I said that, she went back to the group leaving me confused and terrified as I almost dropped my phone.
She went back to the group and they were laughing like they won something.
AI: Could it be a prank.
Absolutely.
...
By the way, is she replying?
AI: Bruh, just stop it. 🙄
After school, since Cindy had something else to do which I was being told...I mean I was demanded to send the books to the teacher's office alone.
It took me an hour to send four stacks of books, which I must award myself with the iced-coffee,
I stood at the vending machine, flushed the drink one shot after I opened the bottle.
Just when I was about to leave the vending machine, I saw and heard someone sitting moaning on the stairs.
I swear I was about to leave as I clearly understood it was not my business, but then the voice I could hear sobbed and moaned even louder in pain.
I went closer and it was a girl in a swimming suit, she curled sitting on the stairs clutching onto her stomach, she's the one making the voice across the empty corridor.
That was the same girl at the canteen hours ago.
Me: Are…are you alright?
Her: Help...help me….
Wait, is this another prank?
AI: I guess it is dysmenorrhea.
...
If you don't mind speaking in human…..
AI: The menstrual cramps.
...
So it's not a prank?
AI: You think? She needs somewhere comfortable.
Like?
...
LIKE WHERE??? 😭😭😭
AI: Where else do you think?
...fine. 😒
By looking at her suffering look, I immediately knelt and faced my back towards her.
Me: Hop on, quick.
Her: W…..what?
Me: I'll get you somewhere safe, come.
She looked at me for a while and decided to lean onto my back.
I supported her legs with my wrist so that I don't touch...it's basically touch...
...
...but I HAVE NO CHOICE!!!!😭😭😭
AHHHHH—!!!! 😭😭😭
I climbed to the same familiar floor, compared to the last time.
This time is better — because I can see what's in front of me. 🥲
After a while, we arrived at the infirmary which was faster and more efficient than last time.
As usual, I have no idea why the nurses are not around when an emergency happens. 😭😭😭
WHY'S IT'S ALWAYS ME!!! 😭😭😭
After putting her onto the bed, she suddenly grabbed my hand.
When I was about to push her away, the next thing that happened is still haunting me. 💀
She put my hand onto her lower belly, she rested with her eyes closed while gasping and sweating in pain.
WHAT THE—!!! 💀💀💀
WHAT'S SHE DOING!!!!! 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
AI: Calm down.
I CAN'T MOVE!!!! 😭😭😭
AI: She's just getting something warm.
I can get her a hand warmer, just let me go!!! 😭😭😭😭
AI: Looks like your hand is warmer than hand warmer. 🤣
Not funny, buddy.
NOT FUNNY!!!! 😭😭😭
What do I do now???
AI: Call someone.
If only I could — I left my phone in my bag in the classroom, how do I reach it? 🥲
AI: Well I don't have access permission...just leave it like this, the worst step you can take.
She's looking at me….
STOP IT !!!! 😭😭😭
*ACHOO—!*
She sneezed as she's still in swimming suit while the fan is switched on along with the air conditioner.
I grabbed the coat on my waist and covered it onto her.
...
Her face is getting redder...fever?
I quickly put my back of hand onto her forehead which she suddenly trembled.
No, it was not fever.
AI: I think you should just do nothing, buddy. 😒
You started it, buddy. 🙄
AI: I told you to help, not telling you to flirt. 😏
Flirt???
What????
AI: She pranked you hours ago and you helped her right after, she must be in guilt.
Why? That was not a big deal.
AI: I mean…..would you ask for help from someone that you made fun of?
Her: I'm…I'm sorry.
...
...
Okay what should I reply??? 💀
AI: Just tell her what popped out in your mind…
No, I just nodded.
Her: That was a prank, we…we were playing truth or dare.
Me: I could tell.
Her: Huh?
Me: It's either it's the end of the world or I'm getting cancer, else it must be a prank if somebody confessed to me.
She stared at me after I said that, but minutes later she spoke to me again….
Her: I'm sorry, they said if I don't play along they'll push me out.
I don't understand why people nowadays like to join a group that doesn't belong to them.
Me: Let it be, then.
Her: What?
Me: Sometimes it's better to be alone putting on a mask.
Her: But without friends…
Me: A true friend wouldn't say that to you, these are not friends.
Her: But…
She was trying to debate for herself and those people who I'm not sure if they really treat her as a friend.
At least a true friendship wouldn't be broken by conditions.
AI: What makes you sound like you have experience making friends? 😏
Just shut up.
Me: Erm…feeling…better now?
Her: Yeah, sorry.
She pushed away my hand like it was not her who did it. 😒
Right after, I got her a bottle of red date tea from the vending machine as I heard it helps to soothe the pain.
"Oh Lydia, are you alright?"
Her: Mom!
A woman suddenly came into the infirmary and rushed towards her daughter.
...
...
I swear it wasn't me overhearing the name.
What should I do now?
AI: Leave.
...
Nice choice.
I slowly moved towards the door, just when I was about to leave the room…
Her mom: Wait.
...💀
Alright, I'm dead I'M DEAD!!!! 😭😭😭
The woman came to me and held my hand, which shocked me and I immediately froze.
Her mom: Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
Me: No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no....problem.
I try to put on a smile just to cover my embarrassment of my stammering just now.
Her mom: What's your name?
Me: R…Rin.
Her mom: Thank you so much Rin.
Me: G…great….I think…I….I'll leave…fr….from here, haha.
After a gentle bow, I finally escaped. 😭😭😭
WHY THESE ALWAYS HAPPENS ON ME!!!!???? 😭😭😭
AI: I'm kinda curious, how'd you know red dates help in soothing the cramps? 😏
Because that's a common sense of first aid...
…..What?
AI: Nothing, just curious. 😊
Seems like you have something to tell, what is it?
AI: Nothing special, it's just...you just left a good impression on another girl. 😊
Don't be stupid, okay?
That was nothing, she won't remember me after this.
AI: Oh you sure? 😏
Oh, I am.
By the way, did Clara reply?
AI: She did.
What did she say?
AI: Meet me at the Popular Bookstore tomorrow.
...
Is this...
AI: You think.
...
Should I grab a weapon along? 🥲
