Chapter 2- My mysterious guy

As we finished cleaning the room and start heading to the school gate, we always walk in the oval rather than in the room pathways. I would rather like it though. The fresh air, some students dancing in the field while the soccer team training is still ongoing, a normal middle school life that I desire.

“I’m hungry.”, I murmured.

“Then, let’s buy a bundog outside!", Kim, a friend of mine, actively grab my neck while jumping.

(*Bundog does not literally mean a dog. It is a short term for a bread bun and a hot dog.)

“No, I need to save money, can I just bite in …”, I didn’t even finish my statement as she dashed to Justine to save her bundog’s life.

“Justinee! Wait for me!”

“What the…ugh”, I smiled while looking at them.

Our school is one of the biggest school campus in our province that is why, the oval is also big. And as I am enjoying myself, a person caught my attention, it’s My mysterious guy. I am not referring to a non-living guy nor a spy student, I am referring to a person who caught my attention since I started attending middle school. And as usual, he’s with his friends. I wonder how he acts toward his friends, that is why I gave him that wonderful alias – My mysterious guy.

“May, watch out!”, Key dragged me abruptly by her side.

“What?!”. I answered, air headedly.

“Watch out, or he will see you and think that you’re interested in him.”

Key, a friend of mine and also the one who knows about my interest slash unknown feelings toward My mysterious guy.

“Ehhh, impossible.”

“So, any improvement slash achievement?”, she asked teasingly.

“Achievement? Well, nothing? I still don’t get the perfect position to sleep in the armchair.”

“What an air head. I am talking about him.”, while pointing to My mysterious guy.

“Achievement? How come? Is he a game? A level to be finished? Achievement? Huh?”

“I mean any… you know… like did you already have his contact number, or his um friend’s contacts? To slowly connect with him?”, she asked continuously.

“I don’t need it. What do you think am I? A stalker? What the…”, I shouted that even Kim and Justine heard my words from the distant.

“No, I’m just teasing you. Calm down or I’ll call his name.”

“Ugh, call his name, whatever.”

I didn’t expect ‘coz she really called his name.

“Oi, what are you doing?”, murmuring towards Key.

“Calling his name. Are you jealous, baby girl?”, then she ran towards him.

To be honest, yes. Because I cannot call him by his given name, it’s awkward, or I am just thinking it’s awkward. I am jealous ‘coz my friends can approach him without any hesitation, while I can’t even say his name nor walk in front of him to take a shortcut route from the front door of our room to my seat.
