Playful Love

Chapter 3

It's been two weeks since Mark's birthday and it's been two weeks since Aaron and I became friends. Since then, aaron has become more sweet and caring to me. I always receive sweet messages from him whether in the morning or evening.

Sometimes I am ashamed of what we act. We both know it's just dare but I feel like he really likes me as if it's true he's really my boyfriend.

He always picks me up at home.

Once mom asked me what are we, I told her what are we, and reminded she reminded me not to fall inlove to aaron because there is an end to everything between the two of us. but the truth is, I really like him and I'm keeping it until this end. I have no plans on telling it to him or even to Jizel or Airene because I know after three months, we will end this game.

We were about to enter the school, he was carrying my bag and holding one of my hands. As usual, I still hear bullying from students. They say, we don't fit together because I'm a nerd and Aaron is too far from my appearance.

Some women have been threatening me because of our relationship. Neither of them, I resisted nothing and just let them go. I also can't say that it's just a game because it's one of the things Aaron asked for.

also since we became for the of the game, he has always been dealing with those who nambubully me. if he used to be very cold and quiet when someone nambubully me, now he is still in the lead in answering them.

"Don't pay any attention to them. You might get into a fight again" I stopped Aaron.

He didn’t hesitate and approached a man what what he was telling me.

"The second time I'll hear what you just said, I'll punch you" he threatened who calmed the man down.

I immediately approached Aaron and pulled him away from the tge male student.

"You shouldn't pay attention at him" I said calmly.

"Is that what you always tell me?" he said aloud then walked into the calssroom.

"They're bullying you! Then you're still going to defend them? Cia, I'm your boyfriend!" he shouted.

"I'm not defending them, I just don't want trouble anymore." I answer then I sit beside him. "Besides, it's only for3 months, right?" I said in a whisper.

"Cia, if for you this 3 months is just a game, for me it's not!" he whispered then he bowed. i feel the anger on everyword he said.

I didn't speak anymore because I knew he was angry at me.

It's lunchtime and the five of us are in the canteen but until now, he doesn't pay attention to me either.

"LQ?" Airene's break in silence.

I didn't say a word and so did Aaron. Jizel and Mark are helpless.

"What happened?" airene asked me.

I shook my head in response. I thought I can hide what I'm feeling right now. this was the first tine that we fight and

I couldn't stop the tears, I tried to stop them from dripping but i didn't win.

"s**t, why are you crying?" airene asked confused.

"N-no" I sparingly answer.

I noticed that Aaron suddenly stood up from his seat and approached me. He hugged me and made me stop fron crying.

"Shhh don't cry" he said while patting my back. "I'm sorry" he added.

"All right, we'll leave first, you two can talk. Aaron, don't make her cry anymore" Mark ordered but Aaron didnt even take a glance at him. His attention is on me.

"I'm sorry" he said but I really can't stop crying.

"Look, if what happened earlier is what you're crying about, I'm really sorry" he said while wiping my face full of tears.

"I promise I won't do that again, okay? So stop crying" he said

"I-I'm s-sorry too" I stammered.

"Shh. Eat this, it's cold now" then pointed to the food on the table.

In the middle of our meal, suddenly a woman approached, I wasn't mistaken and it was really Maggie again.

"Aaron" he called but Aaron ignored her.

"So you're ignoring me because of that nerd?" she said but Aaron seemed deaf and ignored him.

"You know, nerd, you're a hindrance. We would have been iin a relationship if you hadn't just stole him " she shouted which caused people to look at us.

"I ne-" I stopped what I was going to say when I suddenly saw Airene slapping Maggie.

"What right have you to slap me!" maggie shouted.

"What right do you have to belittle Cia?" Airene ask her back.

"You know what, accept the fact that Aaron doesn't like you but her" Mark said then he pointed at me.

"Maybe Cia isn't as good-looking as you, but even if you turn the world upside down, I'll choose Cia over someone who's too deperate to get my attention" Aaron said then he grab me out of the canteen.

But before we could finally get out, he suddenly stopped and faced the people.

"Try to hurt my girlfriend again, I'm sorry for what I'm going to do. Especially you Maggie" after he said that, Aaron continued to come out of the canteen and then I followed him.

When we got to the classroom, he immediately sat down and rubbed his forehead.

"I'm sorry" I begin. "Because of me, you're getting into a fight. Because of me, you're not getting ok" I said tearfully.

He passed my hand signaling me to sit down. I immediately obeyed and sat quietly.

"Shh, don't be sorry. It's not your fault" he said then he smiled.

Later, Mark, Jizel and Airene arrive. And just a few minutes later the class started again.
