I sighed after Father Kiko left us.
"I guess my answer is wrong" I said sadly.
Fire smiled and ruffled my hair, something that annoyed me.
"No! Dont mess with my hair!" Annoyed that you said something that made it laugh.
He smiled seriously and spoke.
"Mi, don't think that way, Ok? You can join me in mission, you can't either. No pressure. All I want is for you to be happy. Then the important thing is for me to go home. Which is you. Wait ... are we there?" He said the reason i burst in laughing.
Are we waiting?
"Shall we go? Hmm, it's okay. It's okay not. Why don't you?" I answer here.
I saw his eyes widened on my answer the reason i laughed more.
"What don't you want? Let's go! End of discussion. So let's seal it with a kiss?" He said and pinched my face.
"Sealed it with your face!." I laughed and pulled it upright. "Mathieu? What?"
I heard him grunt. "I just woke up ... I had a headache from hanging over ... Didn't it hit you?"
Define "hit".
"No. Drink coffee to get rid of your hangover. I'll just buy you medicine when I get home."
"All right, thank you. Where are you?"
"I'm in Troy's condo right now." I told him.
"Ha ?! What are you doing-- ?!"
"Relax. I'm with Allie. I just accompanied her to pass the form for Sportsfest. We're going home too." I'm cut off from what he's going to say.
"Is that so? Oh, all right ... You want me to pick you up there ...?"
That made me smile. "No, don't worry too much. You also have a headache, don't you? Don't drive."
"Okay ... Be careful." "I'll take it down. Bye." before Math could say anything e I hung up the phone on him. I noticed after that Troy is just standing at the same spot the whole time, looking at me. "What?"
Unlike before though, he's just staring at me intently. "Oh ... nothing."
"Weirdo." I told him. I put my hand on his forehead again to check for his temperature. I was a little surprised when he flinched very slightly. "Your fever has gone down. Make sure you take your meds before going to bed. Just heat the porridge on the stove if you still have no appetite later."
He did not say anything. He just looked at me so I just chose to go to Allie.
She's sleeping right now. "Allison! Wake up. I'm going to book a Grab!"
"Book first ... I'll wake you up later when I'm here ..."
I just rolled my eyes, then took my phone back out. While booking for a ride, I heard Troy say something.
"Hey, Lalaine ..."
"What?"
He opened his mouth, but stopped himself. He just smiled after. "Thank you again."
"Do not mind it." I said with a smile, too. "Just make sure you register us with e-sports."
He chuckled because of that. "Consider it done. I hope this isn't such an inconvenience for you, though. I mean this 'nursing me' stuff."
"It's okay. If we won't do it then who will? I know what it's like not to be taken care of so I just can't ignore you like that ..."
Troy just looked at me after I said that. Then, he said something which I wasn't expecting.
"If that's the case, then I'll start caring for you, too ..." It's that time of the month again ... I can't help but to wince. I hate this feeling so much. It's like you're being twisted in pain, and it's like you're urinating without having control over it? It's really hard to be a woman!
"Here, Miss Del Valle. Just take it, then wait for a few minutes. If you need, you can also rest here for a bit." said the school nurse to me.
I shook my head. "No, thank you. We have a quiz later so I need to get going ... Thanks for the meds."
"No problem."
"By the way ..." I said again to the nurse before I could get out of the infirmary completely. "Uhh ... there aren't even napkins at the vendo ... Where can I buy them?"
"Oh, that?" she smiled at me. "There's more here ..." the nurse handed me what I'm asking for. That's not the brand I use, but I guess I have no choice if I don't want to get through it in no time.
I thanked the school nurse, then went inside the ladies room to change. Annoying, why do I always have dysmenorrhea during my period?
As I closed the restroom's cubicle, I went to the sink to wash my hands. I combed my hair a little using my fingers before heaving out a sigh. Hopefully, this day will be beautiful.
I was about to go out of the restroom when a group of girls entered. It was Tarah and her friends, which means she was also with Charline. I tried to ignore them when I heard Tarah calling my name.
"Hey, Lalaine!"
I turned around and stared at her impatiently. "What do you want?"
She smiled at me, which creeped me out. What the hell? "I understand that we started rough. But that's okay, I've forgiven you. Since you're seeing my cousin Troy, I guess it's good for us to be friends, too."
Am I in the twilight zone now?
"And ... why would I be friends with you?" especially your side-chick Charline?
"Pretty and rich girls like us should hang out more often, you know ?!" Tarah replied as if she believed that the three of them were really pretty.
"I appreciate the offer but ... I prefer not to be associated with you. No offense, maybe others just think that we really had something when your cousin."
"OMG ... You mean, you're just Troy ?!" artistic question when they were with me until now, I still don't know the name.
"No." my short answer.
"Then why is Samantha so mad at her ?!" Tarah asked her friends.
"I don't know! That's like, so weird, right ?!" the other answered.
