"If you want to I will introduce you to her," Lucas said to me.
"Is that really alright?" I asked, I am excited you can see that transparently but I'm also not sure. She's hiding her identity for a reason right?
"It'll be fine, you will be fine. I got you alright?"
----------
I am walking in the hallway while reading my book.
"Boo!" Someone shouted at me.
"What the-"
I said while turning around, I saw Kath and Cris smiling at me.
"You guys don't have your first period?" I asked, as I remember I don't have the same vacant as them.
"Oh yeah, the professor is not around so here we are," Cris said excitedly.
"Anyways, who's that guy huh?" Kath asked curiously.
Guy? Who it is again? Is it a character in a story or what? Or maybe one of my classmates is cute or attractive in her perspective so she's asking me this.
"What guy?" I asked back.
"The one you're with in the library! The neat good-looking guy. We saw you together there last week, don't deny it Iris," she glares at me as if she's going eat me alive.
I knew it. They do love to hunt a guy who's in good shape and face. Those two.
"Oh, it's Lucas-"
They both smirk.
Wait, why they are smirking? I smell something fishy.
"What's with that face guys? He's just a friend-"
"Just a friend, let's see then," Cris whispered to herself.
"I heard that sweetie."
"Anyways, you declined last time so I'm gonna ask you again today, this time, right now, no delay-"
"Say it Kath, you're so noisy," I said irritatedly.
"Uhh alright, can we watch basketball training right now? Pleaseee??" She begged.
*Sighed* "Alright, alright we wi-"
When suddenly she held my hand and dragged me through the school court.
"Slow down Kath-"
"No way!"
And finally... We arrive on the basketball court in no time. Thanks to my friend who keeps on running while holding my hand.
I feel like I'm out of breath and my face is sweating, my face looks like I taken a bath but I'm not fresh at all.
"So exhausting, just... Give me a second-"
Suddenly a bottle of water appears in front of me.
"Here."
I look up to see who's giving me this. It's-
"Ethan," Kath said quietly.
"Are you just gonna stare at me or you'll take it?" He asked me irritatedly while his hand was still holding the water and trying to give it to me.
"I'll get it," Kath said then she got the water from his hand.
"Dude what are you doing there?! The play will start soon!" One of his teammates shouted.
He glances back at me first then he walks away. "Comin'," he said calmly.
"You said you don't care about him?" Kath said.
"I swear I don't... We don't even have that much interaction." I explained.
Kath feels excited and happy because she finally saw her crush. But why do I feel something is not right...
We sat on the chairs provided for people who go there to watch them play.
Such a really good player. He has control over the ball, he's fast and lifts up his team.
"Wow, this is the first time I watched them play. They're good," I said while my eyes were still linked to him.
"Are you referring to the team or just one person?" Kath asked sarcastically.
I look at her and she's frowning.
"What-"
"Kath, are you jealous?" Cris asked.
What? Jealous? For what? For that thing.
*Sighed*
"If you're referring to the things that happened a while ago, that's nothing. Your Ethan is all yours," I rolled my eyes.
I admire how well he plays that sport, but I will never fall for that guy.
"When did you see Iris being in love with a real one? I will believe that mermaids exist more than she will have a boyfriend sweetie," Cris said.
Wow, that's mean.

*After 2 hours*
"See you around guys!" I said to them while waiving my hand. I watched the two of them walk away.
Why would he do that thing? Anyways, I should go to my room now.
I started walking then I heard the basketball team talking to each other.
"There will be a practice later, are you going Ethan?" Someone asked.
"No, it's my break," he replied. "Anyways, gotta go now."
"Alright bro, take care."
"Hey stranger, wait," Ethan said loudly while running towards me.
I stopped and looked at him. "Hmm?"
"Let's go into the room together," he said then stopped running. Instead, he walks slowly. "You're that new student right?" he asked.
"Yes," I said like I'm saving my words.
I start walking.
"What's your name again?" he asked.
"Iris... Seraphina Iris."
"Nice meeting you for the second time."
