Chapter 10 CRAZY

Mico's POV

Lara Mae Chua shared L***'s post.

"Another notification..." I whispered and looked at her shared post again.

Actually, her posts are just pure nonsense, sometimes it doesn't really relate to her life but she still keeps going on. There's really might something in her brain

But why is that? I can't help but look?

I don't know when, but I just see myself smiling at what she's doing, even just a little thing, I adore it.

I can't focus on doing my assignment because my phone is constantly ringing and I just found out it's a notification that she keeps sharing someone's post. My news feed flooded with her happiness of sharing shit posts, but... I still find myself smiling at it.

Yeah, I know... I'm indeed trapped with this girl. Damn.

Christmas is near. Guess it's time

to admit to my crush.

I finally read her shared post with the caption, 'what a bad, I don't have a crush.'

I sighed dreamingly. "Is this a sign to admit?" I said, holding back my smile.

In just a blink, I found myself waiting for her reply to my comment.

I thought about that a few more times, and I'm expecting her immediate response. It turned out, I was already waiting for 30 minutes, still there's no reply. I thought of doing my night routine first so that I could go to sleep immediately later.

But, I'm done with everything, she still has no reply. I also can't determine if she is online because her active status is always turned off both on messenger and facebook, but it seems like it's useless because every minute she keeps on sharing posts, so you obviously know that she's online. But there are also times when she's not in the mood to share posts on Facebook, so she probably stands by on other platforms watching kdrama or reading novels, so I can't really determine if she's online, I'm planning to chat with her when she already replies to my comment.

I just find myself in a good position lying down and then staring at emptiness while smiling. I picked up my phone and visited her profile picture. Her profile picture is a side view with a flash of her simple smile on it. And I can't help but to smile too. Her simplicity suits her to be perfect.

She has a small face, attractive brownish chinky round eyes, a pointed nose that already has a nose line on it, pinkish lips and puffy cheeks. She's hairy and it perfectly suits her tan skin. She's cute. Beautiful. Simple. Lovely.

I've only been attracted to one person before, and that's Jewelle, but she replaced it, and I didn't even complain, cuz I love it. The reason is, I'm too trapped with her and I don't find myself entertaining anymore with my same gender. Yes, I'm also attracted with boys, I'm a bisexual UNTIL I get closer with Lara. She helps me unnoticed to become a straight guy. And I'm so thankful for it.

I immediately got up when I heard a notification, hoping that it's from Lara. And yes, finally, it's really from Lara.

I read her reply, 'Hey! Who is that? Ehem, mind sharing it?.' I can hear her voice saying that teasingly. I smiled and replied to it before DMed her.

I'm trembling and heating while chatting with her. It's just a chat but the impact is too intense. I'm really dead.

I think... our conversation went smoothly. I'm already contented with it. At least, she's aware now and I can't wait to prove it to her.

When she sent her last chat, I didn't fall asleep right away. I just appreciating the beauty of the night while thinking of her.

I know... I looked like a fool right now, smiling like an idiot. But, I can't help it, I'm drowned by my own feelings towards her.

I remember how she laughed and making a joke. Making a face when irritated. Ignoring everyone when she's pissed off. Being crazy with her friends. Pouting when hungry. Smirking when something crazy pops up into her mind. Dancing with the wind. Singing lovingly.

In just a short time, I already memorized her. I also don't know how, am I already too observant of her? Or is she just easy to read?

I woke up with a smile on my face. I acted immediately to go to school... but, I was still late. But at least... she's here, pouting in front of me. Such a cutie. I wrote my name on it and gave my notebook and pen to her. But... I can't believe what we just did... we made eye contact!

I immediately left. I can't stand the tension and zoo in my stomach. Dang! For the first time, we made eye contact like that. Yes, we also used to stare at each other but I know... she's not reading me before cuz she's diverting her gaze immediately. But now... something different, she's trying to read me!

I looked back on her and she's busy. I smiled. That was one of the things I liked about her, her diligence. Yes, but only here. I still remember how she told us that her mother was always scolding her that she was too lazy and she's just laughing it off. She's hard working here at school... She is so busy, you can always see her walking around. She's so active, even if it's about organizations, academically and extra curricular, everything. She can do everything. And even just watching her doing those things makes me feel already tired and I guess... that's why she's lazy in their home because it's just a place where she can rest. Only at their home could she rest. And I'm grateful, at least, she can rest properly in their sweetie home.

The school hours ended. But of course, before leaving, I ended up my gaze on Lara while waving at me, smiling.

When I was at home... I immediately fix myself and open my phone and plan to chat with her, only to remind myself that probably, they are still walking. So I just looked for something to eat first. I waited, but she still wasn't online. What time is it ... maybe she's busy, but it's already weekend's tomorrow.

I immediately smiled when I received a message... oh, it's from Kate, my smile suddenly faded.

Kate:

Hey! Don't making fun on me,

you bastard.

What's her problem? I suddenly felt dumbfounded here.

Kate:

I have a crush on you, I

mean, just back then.

Hey! Don't be too over yourself

there. Stop makin weird scenarios

in your head.

It's just a crush.

Hahahahaha! Stupid.

That was just before, remember it.

Hey! No awkwardness

that will happen, okay?

I can't react properly. It never crossed my mind that she might have something on me. I even thought it's Ashbelle.

Me:

Stupid, I dunno what to react.

Is this how Lara felt before? A sudden confession from your friend? Gosh! I'm cringing.

Kate:

Hey! Just stop assuming there.

No awkwardness will happen,

ok?

Me:

Yes. Ur such a shame.

Kate:

Fuck you. Bye.

I still can't believe what Kate is saying. I don't know how to feel but my smile won't go away either. Where is Lara?! I don't know what to react and I think I can just get out my feelings with her.

Lara Mae Chua:

Oh? What's your problem?

I sighed in relief when she's finally online.

Me:

Hey! I'll only tell this to u.

Lara Mae Chua:

Ok. What is it? Faster!

Tsk! Her beauty with her short tempered attitude.

I immediately screenshot my convo with Kate and send it to her.

Lara Mae Chua:

Hahahahahahahaha!

I thought she will never

admit it. Scam.

Me:

Huh? U already know!?

Lara Mae Chua:

Yes, hahahaha! I

laughed so hard

about that.

What's your shampoo, sir?

Mind sharing it?

I stopped thinking for a second then started laughing.

Me:

I think, it's me who need

to asked what kind of

shampoo ur using, eh.

Lara Mae Chua:

The shampoo I'm using?

Just a head & shoulders.

Sometimes I don't use it.

But it's for the best tho.

You save some, and it

also help your hair to be

healthy.

Hey! You have a fault on me!

I'm in shock a while ago. I'm not

informed that they already know

about it!

Me:

Ahh... yes. HAHAHA!

It takes you so long to reply.

I can't help but to share it w/

them

Lara Mae Chua:

Ahh... it's ok.

It's ok on me

Hahahahaha. Why do I

still laughing. Why is that?

Me:

Why?

Lara Mae Chua:

About you and Kate!

Me:

HAHAHAHA! FUCK YOU.

Lara Mae Chua:

Hey! Don't curse.

Idiot

Me:

Bitch. What about u

Lara Mae Chua:

Beach, where's the

curse there?

Me:

U said, idiot.

Lara Mae Chua:

Eh? Is that a cuss?😳

Me:

Yes, stupid.

Lara Mae Chua:

Eh? I don't feel that

it's a cuss. I don't

consider it as a profanity.

Me:

It's a cuss. It's profanity.

Lara Mae Chua:

Ok! Alright, I wouldn't.

You fool🙄

Me:

HAHAHAHAHA!

I didn't even notice that my jaw hurts because I'm just smiling at the entire moment we're chatting.

I happily sighed. She's crazy, and I'm crazy with her
