The Magical Ring

Friendly Dinner

We let our classmates went out of the door first before I and Sofie make our way out too. I walk while Sofie is following me "Are you going home now?" someone asked just right when I reached the door of my classroom.

I look at my right side and found Johan. "Yeah!" I replied and went out of the door to receive Johan. "Why are you here?" I asked.

"It will be alright for me when you send my bestfriend home," Sofie said while giggling. "YeeEih!" she teases us.

"Sofie, stop that. We're just friends," I whispered to Sofie and she thrust her right hand's for finger on my side to tickle me.

"Sofie, enough," I complained.

"Alright, alright," she replied. "Hehe!" she chuckled. "I guess, I have to go first now," Sophie said.

"Hi, bro. I thought you don't have a class?" someone asked from my back. I looked back and found Jonas. Sophie is looking back too and she seems starstruck to see Jonas. Well, this cold guy is her ultimate crush.

Sophie hold my right arm very tight and whisper on my ear. "She's so handsome." She giggled.

"Hi, Jonas. I'm Sophie," she introduced herself. She arranged her hair on her right face and clip it at the back of her ears, she smiled. "Do you remember me?" she asked but Jonas didn't even gave a look to her.

"Yeah, but I promised Glady to pick her up from school and send her home this afternoon," Johan replied to Jonas. "Is your class done?" he asked.

"Snubbed!" Sophie rolled her eyes and I just smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'll be going home now. See you later," Jonas immediately said.

"Jonas, we're going on the parking lot too," I said. "Let's just go together," I offered.

"Alright! Let's go," Jonas replied and he walked first.

I hold Sophie's left hand and we followed Jonas. "Let's go, Johan," I said. Johan immediately walked beside me.

"We've been here already, why don't we go stroll and have a dinner later?" Johan asked.

"That would be nice if I and Jonas will go with you," Sophie immediately replied. "Don't worry, we won't bother your date because we will date too," she said and she giggled.

Jonas stoped walking and looked back. "That would be nice," He said and it made me shocked. Really? He wanted to date with Sophie? I don't know why but I feel a little irritation.

"Really brother?" Johan asked. He didn't thought that his brother would agree with Sophie too.

"If it's alright with Glady," Jonas replied and looked at me. His face was serious but I felt like he is teasing me.

"Why not?" I asked. "As long as you take all the expenses and send me home safe and complete," I looked at Johan and he smiled to me.

"Don't worry, mi amor," Johan replied.

"Why stand here?" Sophie cut off the talk. "Let's go now," she said and immediately went beside Jonas. "You're my crush but it's alright if you don't like me as a lover," she said to Jonas but I heard it. "Can we be friends?" she asked.

"Friends." Jonas extended his right arms to shake hands with Sophie. Sophie happily hold his hands and didn't let it go. She drag Jonas and they walked while holding each others hands in front of me and Johan.

"Hey, Glady!" Johan called me. "Are you alright?" he asked. I didn't realized that I've been staring on Jonas and Sophie.

"Oh, yeah," I replied. Then, Johan hold my left hand. "Let's go?" he asked and I just let him hold my hands. We followed Sophie and Jonas, we went to the parking lot.

We used Johan's car and went to the public park. Johan is driving while I'm sitting beside him. At the back seat, Sophie is asking a lot of questions to Jonas while Jonas is answering her too. I've never seen Jonas with other friends, boys nor girls. He is not that friendly but I don't know why he is speaking with Sophie now. Even Johan and Colin, he snubs them sometimes.

"Glady, you seems out of mind since lately," Johan said but I barely hear him and I didn't replied.

"Glady!" Johan hold my left hand.

"Huh? What is it?" I asked. I've been thinking too much about Jonas.

"Are you alright?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I'm just thinking a lot. I'm sorry," I said to Johan.

"HAHAHA!" Sophie laughed. "I guessed it right. You're not as cold as others said. You know how to joke too," she happily said.

I don't know why but I get so irritated. I'm affected that Jonas is getting closer to Sophie. But, who am I to get jealous and prevent him from getting close to others? Tsssk, no way. What am I thinking? Come on Glady, you've never been like this before.

"If you have any problems, just tell me," Johan said.

"Thank you," I replied.

A few moments later, it's already 7:30 pm and we are now eating in a first class restaurant.

"Glady, why don't you tell me something about you?" Sophie asked.

"You know what guys, I only had one friend since I was young. Unfortunately, we've been friends for only three days in the playground. I've never seen him anymore since that time and I don't even know his name," I talked while they are eating. "I never had other friends since then because my father is very strict and cruel. A lot bullied me in school because they said that I only caused troubles to them. I've never expected that I will know you guys." I looked at Sophie. "You've been so kind to me and never bullied me," I said and she just smiled.

"You've never caused any troubles to me. They were only jealous of you that's why they are not good with you," Sophie replied. "You know, you're very clever and beautiful," she said. "You've been tutoring me for free, isn't it cool?" she asked and I smiled.

"You too guys, thank you for being my good friends," I said while looking at Johan and Jonas. "I'm very happy to have this friendly dinner with you," I said to them and they just smiled.

"That's quite a touching story sis," Sophie said. "Cheers!" she raised the glass of juice.

"For the new friendships," Johan said and raised his glass.

"For a long lasting friendships," I said and raised my glass.

"Cheers!" Jonas said and when I looked at him. There's a red dot on his forehead.

"Jonas! Sniper!" I shouted.
