Just Once

NEW FRIEND?

Eric went to their canteen to buy food. After Eric paid for his food he started looking for a seat.

'What is that! Is it really like this in a public school? the stench! the heat! There is no aircon! then the chair is limited! I should just believe in mom '

"Hey curly!" he heard Cherrie shout at him.

'What! Why does she don't stop pestering me, It's embarrassing the way she shouted! isn't she not ashamed of what she does? she's still a girl '

"Curly! Yohoo!"

'Holy f**k! oh! Why did I choose to do curls! tsk '

And because of the embarrassment, he quickly left the canteen and walked around until his feet landed on the back of the canteen building. There was a tree standing there and Eric quickly climbed up to its branch and sat there while eating the food he had bought in the canteen earlier.

"oh this is heaven, this is what i want, a peaceful life .." Eric took a deep breath and felt the breeze.

* Poked *

* Poked *

* Poked *

Eric found three in a row of small stones that he thought came from under the tree. Eric looked down at the grass and immediately frowned at what he saw.

"You again? Are you following me?"

Eric asked while cherrie holding many small stones in her left hand.

"Yes, why is it bad?" Cherrie answered Eric's question.

'And she really answered right huh? isn't she not ashamed on me? Is it about my face ?Ah no, I'm so ugly, when I'm in disguise '

"Do you like me?" Eric asked Cherrie directly.

"What? No!" Cherrie strongly denied Eric's accusation against her.

"Why do you always following me? Why are you flirting me? What do you want?" Eric asked Cherrie one after another.

"Wait! Get down there first and my neck is about to break you rat!" Cherrie complained to Eric who was now coming down from the tree. When Eric got down, Cherrie immediately approached her and pulled him under the tree and forced him to sit next to it.

"What is your answer to my question?" Eric asked Cherrie repeatedly.

"Ah! The one about your first question, I don't always follow you sometimes it's just a coincidence that I see you oh hep-hep no contradiction ah! Second! I don't flirt to you duh! this is what tou you call flirting!" Cherrie quickly placed her two hands from shoulder to Eric's neck.

Eric did not immediately react to the rapid pace of events. Soon Cherrie also removed her hand away from Eric.

"Third! What do I want to happen? Let's be friends! Isn't it obvious!" Cherrie said to Eric again. While Eric does not seem to have been shocked over what happened earlier. So when Cherrie did not immediately receive an answer from Eric, she looked at it. It made her laugh when she saw Eric's face was red like an apple red.

"What happened to you? Hahahahah" Cherrie teased Eric while trying to reach his face which Eric in turn avoided.

"What! Stop it!" Annoyed Eric said why Cherrie stopped reaching for his face.

A few minutes passed and Cherrie remained silent which Eric amazed. So when he looked back he saw Cherrie just staring at him. Eric, on the other hand, felt anxious about what Cherrie was doing.

"What! Don't stare at me" Embarrassed Eric said to Cherrie.

"And why is that! I want to stare at you, you can't do anything about it huh?" Cherrie's answer to Eric was contradictory so she could do nothing but sigh at Cherrie's awkwardness. After a few seconds the bell rang again, signaling that the break time was over and the next class would begin. Eric stood up as did Cherrie, Eric shook his head before finally walking away. Eric heard footsteps as a sign of Cherrie's obedience to him.

"What's your next class?" Cherrie asked if it could catch up with him.

"English Literature" Eric's short answer to Cherrie.

"Ah E.L we are not classmates in this class" Cherrie said sadly that Eric was curious about her.

"What is your next class?" Eric couldn't help but ask Cherrie.

"ayie, he's interested" Cherrie yelled at him.

"Fine nevermind" Eric's short reply to Cherrie.

"What is that! Your Killjoy, anyway my next class is Discrete ugh i hate solving" Cherrie said angrily while pouting.

Eric finds her cute tho '

"Solving is fun" Eric commented to Cherrie.

"Fun? What's fun there? The headache is there nonstop" Cherrie said which made him smile slightly.

"Hey, you smiled I saw that!" after Cherrie said Eric immediately hid his smile here.

"don't hide it! , I already saw it!" Cherrie was angry with Eric.

"Where is your building?" Eric asked cherrie.

"Hey, change the subject, wait! I'm over! s**t! our building is there i need to get hurry! see you later!" Cherrie said goodbye as she hurriedly left for her classroom. Eric could not hide the smile from his lips.

'This is not what I expected to happen'

When Eric arrived in front of his Classroom, He saw four man standing right there like they're waiting for him to come.

"Hey nerdy boy! You look like a rich child!" said one of its companions.

"! Maybe you can share your luggage with us a little" said another of his companions holding bottled water in his right hand. Eric just looked at them and then he was about to pass them when he was suddenly blocked by what he thought was their leader. She looked at the man blocking his eye.

"What are you looking at?" Eric ignored it and was about to deviate from the other side when another companion appeared in front of him.

"And where do you plan to go?" he said to him. Later he felt some presence behind him. Suddenly the expression of the four men changed and suddenly ran away. So Eric turned his back to find out why the four who had blocked him earlier were scared.

"are you alright?"
