444 Words
Renah woke up from her bed and prepared to go to school.
She then stops by a street food stall near their school to buy some isaw (grilled pig/ chicken intestines), kwek-kwek (boiled quailed eggs coated with an orange batter and deep-fried), and betamax (grilled chicken blood).
She eats it as she walks her way to school.
Renah saw Josh passing by and offered him some.
"Hey, Josh! You want some?" Renah asked.
"Can I?" he replied.
"Yeah, sure," Renah responded.
"Thanks hehe. I'm also a bit hungry as I forgot to eat my breakfast." Josh said.
After eating, they both went to their classroom.
Their class started as usual and during their lunch break, Josh treated Renah to repay her generosity a while ago.
They both went to the food court and Josh bought some lunch for them both.
They chitchat for some time while eating and Josh told Renah about his hobbies and the things he does during his free time.
"Umm, hey, wanna know my hobbies?" Josh asked.
"Yeah, that would be interesting," Renah replied.
"I usually play video games during my free time." Josh said, "I also like to read some Manga and watch series on Netflix."
"Ohh, so what series do you watch?" Renah asked.
"Umm, Stranger Things, Money Heist, and many more," Josh responded.
"Nice looks like you have good taste," Renah said.
"I also love staring at the sky, you know," Josh added.
"That's random hahaha." Renah replied, "Isn't that weird?"
"I just wanna appreciate how blue the sky is," Josh said.
"You know what, you're witty hahaha and I like it," Renah responded.
"Thanks hahaha, that's part of my personality, so you gotta get used to it," Josh replied as he finished his meal.
Josh continues to tell some things about himself to Renah and also adds some corny and funny jokes to it.
Renah laughs until her stomach aches.
She then told him her hobbies next, but as she began to speak, the bell rang, and they quickly rushed to their classroom.
After several classes, they are dismissed and Josh accompanies Renah to her home.
As they both arrive, Josh is shocked upon seeing their home.
"Wow, your house is such a beauty," Josh said. "It's also massive that it doesn't even look like a house."
"Umm, thanks hehe, my father is an architect, that's why," Renah replied.
"Ohhh, ok. Goodbye then, see you tomorrow." Josh responded as he walked his way home.
They eventually became friends just after meeting each other a few days ago.
Renah thanks the Lord for another wonderful day and goes to sleep as tomorrow is another day for her.
