Still Inlove With My Ex-Girlfriend

Chapter 1

I'm here now in the school garden, hanging out and lying on the grass. I was disgusted when I saw Russel and Karina together earlier.

The two of them are so perfect, that's why there is so much support in their relationship! I can't even say anything to her because she's really perfect.

I'm the only one who has a crush on Russel, no! Of course, who wouldn't have a crush on the almost perfectionist Russel.

Pogi, beautiful voice, beautiful body too inshort fully packaged! Perfect, perfect, just like Karina.

Beautiful, kind and other things that can be praised about him, when you sit next to him you look like a naughty boy even if you look clean.

But sometimes, I wish I could be Karina.

I just stomped around in annoyance but immediately smiled as I remembered something.

"We made eye contact...hehe." I promised and slightly twirled my hair. Even if we only make eye contact, I'm fine! I'm completely overcome with excitement.

Even if it's 1 second or less than half a second, as long as we just look at each other, I'm okay, I'm really okay.

I'll think about that until I get home. I was smiling like I didn't know, but I was immediately stunned and silenced when I heard a voice.

"Let's break up."

It's like I was shocked because of what I heard, who is that and did they actually break up here? I slowly stood up and peeked between the trees to see who was talking.

My eyes widened and I covered my mouth when I saw who... Russel and Karina?!

Why do they b-break?

I looked at Russel's place as if I couldn't believe what I heard. "B-but why?" I bit my lip because his voice sounded like he was crying.

It looks like he's going to cry, nooo! my baby crush

Karina's face was sad. "We're leaving the country, Russel."

It's like my ears got bigger when I heard it and I moved my body closer to the tree to hear more, I look like a gossip about what I'm doing but it's gossip.

"I will wait for you." I could feel Russel's determined voice.

"No." Karina said firmly, which I swallowed, as if I was tensing up. "I don't know if we'll ever come back here." It's a weak promise and a crying face.

"I'll still wait for you." I feel like I'm going to cry from what I'm hearing.

I never thought that these two would break up because their relationship is almost 'perfect'.

After that, I saw you with my two eyes and my two ears heard how they would break.

"I'm sorry, Russel. But we need to break up." Karina said and she suddenly cried and left.

I looked at Russel's place who was dumbfounded and didn't seem to have processed what happened.

I was just stunned while walking to the room, even though I didn't process what I saw in my brain.

The almost perfectionist relationship, I can see myself breaking up?!

I got to the room floating, also floating all day and was just dumbfounded in the front while the teachers did not discuss. The things he teaches don't come in because my brain is really occupied.

"Class dismissed."

It was as if I stood up and walked out with my shoulders down, I was the one who was hurt by Russel's current situation.

I just sighed, I regret the relationship between the two of them, how many years have they been together?

Then suddenly they will break up just because Karina is leaving the country? Isn't long distance relationship trendy with her? After all, ldr is difficult in a relationship.

It was break time so instead of going straight to the cafeteria, I took a detour and went to the music room.

I also like to sing but I don't sing much. I only sing when I'm stressed and thinking a lot.

When I entered the music room, the dark surroundings dawned on me, I went straight to the mini stage of the music room and immediately took the guitar.

I sat in the chair and immediately strummed the guitar.

"We keep behind closed doors.

Every time I see you I die a little more.

Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls.

It'll never be enough."

I closed my eyes and felt the singing. This is where I go through all my stress in life and no one knows about it.

"Why can't I say that I'm in love?

I wanna shout it from the rooftops."

I strum the guitar I'm holding even more, why can't I say I'm in love? Because I know I can't get the person I want either.

"I wish that I could be like that.

Why can't it be like that?"

Why am I stressed in their relationship? Maybe I'm just regretting it? I can see how Russel was hurt by what Karina said.

"Because I'm yours."

I stopped strumming the guitar and just bowed.

"You have an angelic voice."

I felt like I was sitting where I was sitting when I heard that voice. I know that voice...

I looked up to see who it was, and I wasn't wrong...

"R-russel."

Did he hear me sing? Has he been there before?! I swallowed at that thought, add to that I was a bit shocked because he only noticed me now.

Because I'm not like others who chase after a crush. I'm that person who only admires the peg from afar.

Then now, Russel is in front of me... it's russrel oh

"have you been there before?" I swallowed again because of the nervousness I felt and then I stuttered.

"Yeah." this is a short promise.

I was silent because apart from the shortness of his speech, his voice was so cold that it seemed lifeless.

He approached my place so I didn't move immediately, it was bright from my place so I could see his face even more.

It's so serious... add his eyes. I immediately felt a pain in my heart because of the sadness in his eyes. So sad... too much.

He looked at me but his face seemed lifeless. Wow! Is that the effect of Karina's heartbreak? It seems that he really loves Karina.

You can only see the smile of a Russel if you are in front of Karina. That's why his life is so sad now, because he lost his happiness.

I don't want to tell him what I heard just now, because he might just get angry. I'll just let the gossip spread tomorrow, I know tomorrow everyone will know.

I followed him when he suddenly sat in front of me and immediately extended his hand in front of me.

I was surprised and I didn't know what to do. Will he take my hand?

"Guitar." I looked at him and was stunned.

"Huh?" I answered flatly.

"Guitar." he repeated so I quickly reached out because he might get annoyed and run away from me.

I don't want that! He's here in front of me so I better make the most of this opportunity.

I just stared at what he was doing that looked like he was adjusting a guitar string. He strummed it and suddenly sang.

"No..." I inhaled when he suddenly sang. "I can't fall in love again." my mouth was tighter.

His voice is so cold! And I can't believe what I'm hearing and seeing now. Russel who is in front of me and even more intense, sings!

"I'll wait for you all my life."

His lyrics are very good! He will be even more broken when he sings!

"I reject destiny.

That you have to disappear.

I'm ready to repeat.

Be yours and confess."

My eyes suddenly watered while looking at him, the pain is just because of his situation and then you add that I have seen and heard everything about how they broke up.

Because if I hadn't seen that, I would have wondered why he was so sad, right?

"That no one else can surpass.

They are all beautiful, they look alike."

I bite my lips so I don't cry and he might hear, I also don't want him to stop singing maybe because by singing he can release all his feelings.

"There is no one like you.

You are really beautiful.

He is really sweet to Karina, so green flag! "W-why did you leave me?

Is there something wrong with me?"

I held my mouth to stop the sobs that were coming out of my mouth and I was shocked at what my two eyes were seeing.

she's crying

I can't believe that Russel is crying right now in front of me, it looks like he can't stop himself.

He has been writhing and crying really hard. He was probably holding back because someone was looking at him and he didn't want to be embarrassed.

"How can you think, you can't accept me anymore.

No, I can't fall in love again.

I will wait for you forever."

He suddenly stopped strumming the guitar and immediately bowed. He bent down for a few minutes while I stared at him and continued to cry.

It seems like I'm the one who broke up with Shota. Well, it's just the pain.

He raised his head suddenly so we met again, I saw how his forehead was frowning.

"Why are you crying?" he asked making me quiet before wiping my cheek because he might notice that I know something.

"no, you're crying so I cried too." when I excuse "You look like you're heartbroken even though you're not." my excuse

He looked away. "Are you okay?" I will ask. "You know what, whatever your problem is, it can be fixed."

But it looks like it won't be fixed... because Karina is leaving the country and there is no certainty if she will return.

"I hope so." this weak promise. "What's your name?"

I was surprised when he suddenly asked me, is this true? or maybe it's all just a dream?! He's asking my name!

"S-saelah." I bit my tongue because I stuttered.

"Hmm, nice name. It's unique." it's like a worm tickled my stomach because of what he said.

Unique? Ekekekekekek

"I heard you earlier, you sing well." I calmed down again and my nervousness returned.

"Hehe." I tried to smile at him and avoided looking at him. "Singing is my only stress reliever, but I don't really sing." I explain.

I can see in my peripheral vision how he nodded. He seems to be doing pretty well now, at least he's not thinking about what happened. It's good that he has someone to talk to and have fun.

"So, you'll just sing if you're stressed?" I nodded.

"Yes, when I'm upset, stressed, depressed and so on. All I do is sing, that's where I pour my problems, every lyric I feel." I looked at him and smiled.

"I don't want to drown myself in sadness, I'd rather entertain myself with something else than sulking and wallowing in sadness." I hint.

I want to comfort him in a way that he won't notice. I also want to entertain him somehow so that he won't be sad and feel that he is alone.

I saw that he was silent after what I said. "Singing is a good pastime." I promise. "It's also good to write a song that goes along with your feelings." I added It looked at me. "Yeah, you're right." I smiled widely at him because he agreed with me.

"So whatever your problem is, you can do it! Are you still?!" I encourage him.

But I almost fainted when he laughed softly...

I was stunned in no time by him, I just stared at his face and couldn't really believe it.

Can you imagine that?! I made Russel laugh?! You really won't believe what you see!

It stopped laughing and looked at me. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

I blinked. "You're handsome." I exclaimed.

I saw how he was surprised by what I said, even though I was surprised too!

"A-ah sorry, I can't control myself. You're just so handsome." I was once again surprised by what I said.

Wow! I'm slipping in my own mouth!

My whole face turned red when I heard her laugh, she was laughing again! No, please! "It's okay." he promised me with a smile that almost melted my heart.

Besides the smile, I even made him laugh! Am I so lucky? at least I don't see him crying like before.

"Thank you for making me smile and happy." it promises.

"Hehe, small things." I said as I waved my hand in front of him as if bragging which made him laugh again.

Shh! I seem to be making him very happy. Earlier he spoke very coldly and now he will laugh in front of me?

It's okay Russel, it's ok with me as long as you have fun with me, ekekekek.

It stood up so I looked up, it looked at me. "Nice meeting you, Saelah." I looked at his hand in surprise when he held it out in front of me.

I feel like I'm stuck in my seat, is that it? This is my chance to hold his hand!

I accepted that. "It's nice meeting you, Russel." I felt him gently squeeze my hand and smile at me.

We let go of our hands and he turned away. "See you around if I see you." he was completely out of the music room so in no time I had a big smile.

I looked at my hand where he held it, the softness of his hand! Karina's luck is that she can handle it, even holding hands.

I was relieved to see him laugh and smile at me, but maybe if I tell others about it, they might not believe it.

He only showed them to Karina, so I was really surprised when he smiled and laughed in front of me.

But I know that the happiness I felt for him earlier was only short-lived, because his true happiness is Karina.

He will think about it and think about it, so it is possible that sadness will return to his life. Pity! If it were me, I wouldn't do that to Russel... but it's not me.

But it's okay, at least I talked to him and even held his hand and then he smiled and laughed, oh isn't your grandmother a lucky girl.

While I was busy with the thrill I was feeling, I suddenly stopped, my eyes widened and I immediately stood up.

"Im late

To Be Continued...

Chapter 2

I left the music room and quickly ran to the room because I guess I was enjoying what happened earlier.

There were no more students, so I ran even harder until I felt it and I opened it.

"Ms. Saelah, why are you late?!" I stood up properly because Ma'am Tillafor suddenly shouted.

"ah, I'm at the clinic." when I excuse "My stomach hurt so I stayed at the clinic and then I was confused that I was late." I explained.

Why should I say that I was in the music room and I was with Russel and then it was just the two of us? We will be released then maybe later the die hard fans of Russel and Karina will bully me.

"Okay, sit down." I breathed a sigh of relief because my excuse seemed to be effective, so I immediately went in and sat down.

Ma'am went back to the discussion while I smiled and listened to her carefully, especially now that I'm in a good mood because I talked to my crush.

I just listened to the teachers coming and I didn't even get tired of listening.

If that happens to you, who wouldn't be thrilled and complete the day, right?

The discussions ended so I stood up and took my bag because I was going home. I left the room and was jumping up and down walking like a child.

My smile is so wide, it's like my lips don't part with my smile! That only happened once in a blue moon, that's why I really made the most of it.

I stopped walking when I saw Russel who hurriedly ran to his car and got in. I see that he pushed it.

"Where is that going?" I wonder.

He was in a hurry, I just shrugged as I followed Russel's car. But I was almost out of balance when I bumped into something.

"Come on, sorry."

"Sorry."

We answered at the same time so I looked at the person I bumped into because it seemed to be tough. My eyes widened because I recognized who I bumped into.

"I'm sorry, miss. Because I'm not looking at the road." he said smiling while scratching the back of his neck.

While I was stunned into nothingness.

"Miss?" calling it.

Even though I was floating, I uttered his name.

"A-aziel?"

I blinked several times to confirm if it was really Aziel in front of me.

"You know me?" this is a strange promise.

Probably! I really know you, we just went to the same school and add that they are famous here.

"You guys are famous here." I promise.

"Yes, by the way." he scratched his head because he seemed to remember that he was famous, I wanted to punch him because he seemed to float.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Because I'm not looking at the road." I apologize.

"No, it's okay. It's my fault too." I smiled at what he said.

Why are the t-troops so nice?! Russel and Aziel are like falling from the sky! I can smell the green flag on her.

"I'll go first." I promise because I feel like I've been counted after the atmosphere around us.

It nodded. "Alright, I'm really sorry."

"It's OK! Sorry to you too!" I smiled goodbye before waving at him while walking backwards.

He also waved back so I turned to face him because I might bump into someone again, I was so stupid.

I returned home safely, actually we can afford it, we are not rich. Our house is just the right size, enough for three people but also a bit big.

"You're back home." mommy came to me who was already preparing dinner on the table.

I smiled and went straight to him and immediately hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "Miss you, mommy."

"You really are a child!" This promise made me laugh.

"My mother and daughter, why don't you include me there?" mommy and I looked at each other when someone spoke "Dad." I promise here.

He came to us and hugged me and mommy. It's like all my tiredness in school disappeared because of her.

This is my home and my comfort zone.

I walk to school now, I only walk because it's walking distance.

We have a car because I don't want to be picked up, so I can exercise my body by walking.

When I arrived at the school, my schoolmates immediately greeted me and were whispering to each other around.

"Karina and Russel are said to be separated."

"Omg, is that true?"

"Karina is said to have left the country."

"No way! The perfect, perfect couple suddenly disappeared?!"

"I didn't expect the two of them to separate."

"It's like there's nothing wrong with their relationship."

"True."

"Oh my God. For sure, Russel is super duper sad right now."

"My poor baby Russel."

"Karina just left him."

"Baby Russel still loves him very much."

It seems that everyone already knows, I said it. What happened yesterday was scattered and scattered, I just continued walking while looking around.

Left and right, students are all gathered together and they all have the same topic, the others even stay away from the other group to catch gossip.

I just shook my head, there are so many marites! But me, just a little.

Besides, I don't spread gossip, that's why I said yesterday that I'll let the gossip spread first so that I can pretend that I just gathered or heard about it.

I just walked straight and for some unknown reason instead of going straight to the room, I went to the music room.

When I got there, I grabbed the doorknob before looking around. There were no people... I turned before entering completely.

Like yesterday, it was still silent and dark.

I closed the door and felt around to see if there was anyone or not. But I can't feel anything, it seems like he's not here I hoped that he was here so that somehow, I could comfort him again like yesterday. Especially now that what happened is scattered, isn't it, that makes me even sadder.

Even if it's just friendly comfort to make him feel a little better, right, I made him laugh yesterday, maybe that's possible again?

But maybe it's impossible, because it just happened that he was there and I was there too.

I just sighed before turning around and holding the doorknob, I was about to turn it to get out but I froze when I felt someone hug my back.

"You're here."

My eyes widened and I could feel my heart beating faster because of the person hugging me tightly from behind.

That voice...

"R-russel?" I swallowed because I still stuttered a bit.

He didn't speak so I was even more nervous, he was hugging me! How can I calm down?!

His hug on my back got even tighter so I was pressed by him even more, making my forehead sweat. I know he is broken hearted but is it right for him to hug me?

But maybe he really just needs a comfort zone, I just bit my lip and let him hug me.

We were like that for a few minutes, so I started to feel awkward in my body.

"You know it, right?" I still flinched when he suddenly spoke.

He is probably referring to the gossip earlier, I want to say that I knew yesterday, my two eyes even saw how they would break up.

I felt that he had separated from hugging me so that was my chance to face him.

His big eyes looked at me and he seemed very tired. He looks so bad now, I'm going to cry again when I see him.

I nodded to what he asked. "I-I heard it outside." I promise. "I came here maybe because you're here and I didn't make a mistake." I added.

He just bowed down so I approached him before grabbing his wrist and pulling him to the mini stage.

I made him sit on the chair and immediately patted his shoulder. "Is that why you were sad yesterday?" I will ask I left behind him and took another chair to sit in front of him. He was just stunned and watching from afar.

What I do know is that he now needs someone to talk to and accompany him. He needs comfort, you can't just leave him here.

"Yesterday..." I fell silent when he spoke again. "S-she broke up with me." his voice broke and I could clearly see how his eyes were watering again.

"I l-love her so m-much." the tears that he had been holding back fell completely.

I looked up to stop the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes, it's hard when it's a man crying in front of you.

You will feel differently when you see a man crying just because of a woman.

You can feel that he really loves Karina.

Holding back tears, I faced him and immediately moved the chair to be closer to him.

I pulled him close to me and immediately hugged him, I stroked his back and indicated that it was okay and that he should just let out his feelings.

"S-she said to me that they are leaving the b-country."

I just let him cry on my shoulder, even if I get wet it's fine.

"Not sure if she will come back." I hugged him even tighter. "B-but I told her that I will wait for her." I just let him talk and talk and tell me stories.

"She refused... she said, no more."

My eyes watered again, why are my tears shallow? Because his stories are so painful, you can really feel the longing in his voice.

"Just last night... they left." I was slightly surprised by what he said.

I suddenly remembered how he left in a hurry last night when he got home.

"I went to the airport last night." I let go of hugging him so he sat up and looked at me His eyes are swollen and then the under eyes are red as well as his nose and ears.

"I-I never caught up with him." I just stared at him. "She leaves me... she leaves me, Saelah." tears came to his eyes again.

"Shh." I will let him live. "What if she will come back?" when I make him feel better.

It looked at me. "Don't give me hope." this weak promise. "I don't want to hope." he said and looked at the guitar.

My mouth was closed because of what he said. "It has come out of his mouth that he is not sure if he will come back."

I just sighed and didn't say anything.

"Can you sing for me?"

I was surprised to look at him because of what he said. What? I sing to him?!

I just stared at his very tired and sad face. I just swallowed, I'll just give him what he said, maybe he'll feel better.

"are you sure?" I promise to ask.

It stared into my eyes so I was a bit stunned again. "Yes, can you do it for me?" this weak promise. "I can't sing because my voice will crack."

I just nodded before picking up the guitar and when I faced him again, I strummed it to see if it was in the right tone.

I smiled as I got the tone I was going to sing before looking at him.

"I hope you enjoy this song."

I prepared my hands for each piece and immediately strummed it. I'll sing to him, he can't sing, because he'll just cry.

"I wanna be your vacuum cleaner.

Breathing in your dust."

When I started, my singing was very modest and I really improved my voice. It's hard to be embarrassed in front of your crush.

"I wanna be your Ford Cortina.

I will never rust."

I looked at Russel who was staring at me, I averted my gaze from him because I was a bit nervous and I might make a mistake in what I was going to sing.

"If you like your coffee hot.

Let me be your coffee pot.

You call the shots, babe."

I smiled a little at those lyrics, I hope it hits you Russel. Chos! That person just broke.

"I just wanna be yours.

Secrets I have held in my heart.

Are harder to hide than I thought.

Maybe I just wanna be yours."

I looked at Russel again, I really looked him in the eye.

"I wanna be yours.

I wanna be yours

Wanna be yours"

When I sing, I don't know if it's a double meaning for him, but for me, it's a double meaning, I'm really correcting him... hehe.

If I were Russel, I wouldn't really do that to you, so I would.

Chararat! It sucks.

"Wanna be yours.

Wanna be yours."

I finally lowered my voice so as not to cry, I stopped strumming the guitar. Russel looked at me curiously.

"Why did you stop?" it asked.

"Nothing." I promise.

He frowned, so I scratched my head and looked away from him.

"Is that all right?" I asked as I simply returned the guitar to its place.

"Hmm, a little." it promises. "Thank you I smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up. "Always welcome, idol." I promise.

A small smile appeared on his lips that's why I couldn't stop smiling even bigger because of what I saw.

At least, he can still smile even though his situation is like this now, right?

"I only met you yesterday, but I already told you what happened." he looked away before looking back at me. "You won't tell anyone about this, right?"

I nodded one after the other. "Promise!" I even raised my hand to make sure I wouldn't say it.

But almost all the blood came to my face when he said the next thing.

"Good girl."

To Be Continued...

Chapter 3

I avoided looking at him so he wouldn't notice that I was blushing from what he was saying.

Why is it attractive when he says 'good girl?!'

"I-I'm good at keeping secrets no." I promise jokingly.

"Hmm." was his only answer. "I'm sorry that I cried in front of you." I looked back at him.

"What are you?! That's not it! It's better that you let out all your feelings." I promise.

"I look like a gay." he said and looked away from me.

I shook my head one after the other. "You know, it's not bad to cry. Crying doesn't choose gender so don't be ashamed that you cry."

He turned to me slightly. "But I h-hugged you."

I suddenly stiffened in my seat, I remembered how he hugged me from behind earlier.

"It's not a big deal." when I calm down. "Maybe, you just need someone to lean on." He bowed and looked ashamed of what he had done earlier.

"There's no malice in that!" I promise. "It's fine with me, I hugged you too." but suddenly stopped at what was said.

Well... yes, I hugged him too! The surroundings warmed up again and the shame of the memory enveloped my body.

"I-I just hugged you because what... you're crying! Yes, that's right, she's crying!"

It's true that he was crying earlier, so I hugged him and he shed all his tears while talking.

I heard how he sighed and my ears felt like they were ringing when I heard his soft laugh.

"Yeah, we hugged each other." he said with a nod.

My eyes widened... w-what did we hug each other?!

"It's just C-comfort, hehe." I laughed awkwardly and looked away.

"I know, thank you for that comfort." it said. "I feel better because I know someone is listening and knows my situation." it promises.

"Sometimes, it's really better to take your anger out on someone, so that you get a thorn pulled out of your throat when you tell others about your problem." I promise.

"But sometimes there are still people who prefer to keep the problem to themselves rather than let it be known." I sighed. "It depends on the person." I said to him.

"You're good at advising." this smiling praise.

Naks, how long have I been complimented by him? I'm fed up with what he's saying, that's right, crush, and maybe I won't be comfortable with you anymore, I'm going to mix it up with bitterness.

Inshort, the peg comflirts. Is it just Russel that I comflirt with...

Charing!

"So when you need advice, just come to me." I said arrogantly with a matching hair flip and he just laughed.

He is already very happy with me mwehehehe.

Charot!

I walked to the room with a smile, we left the music room together earlier but we took a detour because someone might see us together.

That's the issue! It might be said that the two had just broken up and then Russel was meeting up with someone else right away.

That's wrong with his name.

Then it might also be said that Karina left the country because she pretended to catch Russel cheating. Right?! So it's better to be careful than to gossip about the wrong things.

I remembered again how she cried in front of me. I really can't help but be sad about his situation.

We only met because of their break up, should I be thankful? Apparently not.

Because now he is the one who is hurting because of his love for Karina. That's why I'd rather have a crush than a boyfriend, that would only give me heartache.

I got to the room so I went in right away, and it looks like I'm lucky because there's no teacher ahead.

But I knew I was late, I didn't make it to the first sub so I only got into the second sub so I breathed a sigh of relief because there was no teacher yet.

After I sat down, the teacher came just in time, that's why I smiled because he didn't go ahead of me because if he did, I would have died again.

The discussion started so I just listened until the end of the time, just listening to what was being taught.

I got up and left the room because the class was over so I went straight to the cafeteria to eat.

It's really hungry when you study hard, luckily I'm really hardworking but I have inspiration.

Of course that's Russel, mate.

After I ordered, I looked for a place to sit and of course it was the one at the end.

I sat down and started eating, I looked outside because there was only glass in the cafeteria.

I just smiled at the scenery I was watching outside. I took the glass and drank it but I almost choked when suddenly the people inside started screaming.

I looked at the door where Russel and his minions entered. I'm almost deafened by the people here, you'd think you saw an artist from a foreign country.

The whispers echoed around again.

"They are really handsome, aren't they?"

"You said it!"

"Papi Russel's sadness!"

"Well, yes."

"My hearttt!"

"Why did Karina leave him?"

"Aziel is really cute."

"Especially Krox."

"My baby Ryle."

"Jacobbb!!!"

"They are so perfect."

"The voice is even better."

I just shook my head and looked at Russel who was now heading my way.

Wait... what do I do?

"Hi, can we sit here?"

I almost turned pale when I saw that Russel was in front of me and his four friends were behind him.

I looked down at the people behind them who were shocked because the one they admired would be next to an unknown girl?!

"You're the one I bumped into, right?" I looked at Aziel when he spoke.

I forced a smile at him because I was overwhelmed by the presence of the five in front of me and then add the gossip around because the five approached me.

"Do you know each other?" Russel asked suddenly, turning his gaze to Aziel.

Aziel smiled and nodded. "We bumped each other yesterday."

"Hmm." Russel answered while looking at me so I swallowed and simply widened his eyes.

Can you think please?!

"Can we sit here?" it's a question again.

Again, the strength of the face!

"S-sure." If I agree, why should I throw them away? Their fans are even more angry that Russel is already broken so I won't give it to him?

I've been told, I'm still the choosy?!

Russel smiled at me before sitting next to me. Baked bread! Why is he sitting next to me?! Let's get out of here!

The whispers around me got louder because of her smiling and sitting next to me.

"Is this super duper true?"

"Oh my god! He smiled at her!"

"Did you see what I saw?!"

"He made the girl smile!"

"Who's that girl?"

"Envy!"

"I wish Russel would be by my side!"

"Wow, so lucky!"

It's like I lost my appetite for what I was eating because I was so nervous.

"Don't mind them." I looked at Russel when he spoke.

What don't mind them?! He just broke up with his gf and then he finds another girl next to him right away?!

That's what people here will think! Then don't mind them?!

"Stop murmuring guys, she's our long time girl best friend." Krox said making my eyes widen.

What girl best friend?!

"Krox is right, our gbf is so introverted that's why you don't see him much with us." Ryle's second made my eyes widen even more.

"So if you're going to issue him about us or Russel, you'd better stop." I blinked at Jacob's promise.

What are they saying?!

"She's such an introverted person, she really doesn't want us to get close to her." Aziel promised with a smile to their fans that almost made others faint.

The four faced me and they winked at the same time which stunned me.

the became my instant girlfriends

I'm trying to get everything that's happening around me into my brain, because it seems like I'm still dreaming.

The five of them are already eating and I'm still dumbfounded by my food, he didn't really f-function in my brain.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh?" I replied flatly and looked to my side because it was Russel who spoke.

"Are you okay? You've been staring at your food for a while." it promises.

"Ah...hehe what's up... just thinking about something." averting his eyes at the same time.

"So she's the girl you were referring to us yesterday?" I frowned and looked at Ryle who was chewing a burger.

"Yeah." Russel answered briefly.

Ryle turned to me and smiled. "Hi girlbestfriend, I'm Ryle by the way." it promises.

Wow, made the most of the girlbestfriend things.

"Krox by the way." Krox still raised his hand. "Here he is." Krox was interrupted by Jacob who answered.

"Jacob, ma'am." he introduced himself with a smile.

"I know, you know me. But I'll introduce myself again." Aziel promised. "I'm Aziel." formally introducing it to me.

I smiled at them all before nodding. "Come on by the way." my introduction

"Saela?" Ryle asked.

"Wow, the name is unique." Krox promised.

I tried to smile at them because I didn't know what to say.

"Btw, thank you for comforting Russel." Krox promised. "We really appreciated, because he doesn't want to be comforted by that, he always wants to be alone." Krox added shaking his head.

"I'm acting, I want a beautiful woman to comfort." I saw how Russel looked at Ryle so he immediately shut his mouth.

I saw how Jacob shot Ryle. "Siraulo, maybe it's just a coincidence." it promises.

"We just met by chance." I am satisfied.

"Yeah, in the music room, right?" I was stunned by what Aziel said.

Do they know that? Probably! Russel has already told them, of course they will know.

I nodded in response to Aziel's question. "What were you doing when you and Russel first met?" Jacob rested his chin on his hand and stared at me.

I was instantly shocked because of what he did. "A-ahh, just hanging out." I promise.

"So, you like music's?" Krox asked the question.

"A little." I answered casually.

It's just a little bit! Sometimes I only sing when I'm thinking a lot.

"But we heard from Russel that you sing." I looked at Russel who was also looking at me.

I looked back at the four in front of me.

"Y-yes, but not that good."

Krox adjusted his seat, he leaned on the table and stared at me almost making me pale.yes really pale and not blush there are five or then all string at me and they are all famous at this school!

"Then, can you sing for us?"

Baked son...

My voice is not beautiful and then they will make me sing in front of them?

I can feel how my forehead sweats because of the nervousness I feel especially since they are all still staring at me and waiting for my answer.

"A-ahh..." I searched for what I could answer her.

I saw in my peripheral vision that Russel adjusted his seat. "Don't pressure her." it promises.

The three snorted at the same time, of course who else is Krox, Ryle and Jacob.

"Too bad, I still want to hear his voice." Ryle promised.

"Yes, Russel even said that Saelah sang like an angel." My eyes widened at what Jacob said and I looked at Russel.

But Russel was busy looking at Jacob who now raised both hands as if giving up.

"J-just kidding, you're really hot." it promises.

They were still waiting but immediately the speaker went silent and someone spoke.

"We have an event next week. All the dancers, singers and others, if you want to join you can come here at the dean's office to register for the event next week."

Events? It means no lessons?!

I hid my joy but suddenly the students who were here in the cafeteria started shouting because for sure there was no lesson and they were just watching for the singing and dancing.

"Come on, let's enlist." I looked at Krox who was looking at his four friends.

"Good idea! For sure there will be many other schools." Ryle added with a smile.

"What Russel? Lets join?" Jacob asked Russel.

I looked at Russel who was quiet, he looked at me so I looked at him right.

I gave him a look that said 'Come on, it's a waste of talent.'

He avoided looking at me and looked at his four friends who were waiting for his answer "Okay." When he agreed, the three joined in and Aziel smiled.

We've been studying for a few months and it's just studying after studying so it's good that the school has an event because I'm already stressed.

But why is there an event all of a sudden?

Not at the time I looked at Russel... Is it because of him? So that he won't be overwhelmed by stress because of what happened? The whole school knows what happened to the two of them. Maybe they also want to bring out the talent of the five and Russel is not too sad about the separation of the two of them with Karina.

Hmm, it seems that people here are also worried about Russel.
