We became friends.
After the holiday (meaning: after school) I am again on my regular duty. sometimes I feel like I come to school for cleaning and study is my side work.
ok, A-vi is also here.
"Kaia, come with me after you complete your work. I promise it won't take a long time," he said.
"ok, but for what?" I asked him but he didn't answer and went out of the room.
I think I was excited so I completed my work faster than before.
I looked for A-vi. someone came to me and said A-vi said to wait for him on the Terrace. I am called by him and now wait for him? is he playing sorta prank?
well, let's wait.
"Did I make you wait for long?" A-vi finally came and asked me.
"not so long, it's been an hour that I am waiting for you," I said to make him realize that he is very late.
"I called you here so that I could speak with you for a while," he said.
"We can do that at our school time as well," I said.
"well, I have noticed that you don't usually talk with others rather than your friend Lina," he said.
he added, "I don't have any friends and you are the first one whom I talked to for the first time in this school."
He gave me a packet of chips. I asked him," what? are you sharing it?"
he said," it's for you."
I couldn't understand and said, "I don't need it."
" take it and if you don't want then throw it away," he said turning towards the edge of the terrace.
" We should respect food, you get that?" I said and opened the packet of chips and started to eat them.
"And you said that you don't have any friends? well, that's your misunderstanding. you always ignore them," I said.
"Today's incident, I mean they bullied Lina...I'll talk to my dad to say the chief to look after this matter," he said.
"And the thing that you asked me while searching Lina...,my answer is NO" he said.
he often ignores my words. I will be asking a thing and he will be talking on his own. It's ok, I am a good listener btw.
"oh! don't mind me asking, is it true that you are not interested in girls? and if yes then listen to my opinion first, I support LGBTQ+ we can still be friends and I will support you, and if you want to hide it for some time then I promise I won't tell anyone about it," I said in one breathe.
well, I guess I am a good speaker if I get the chance. he, he, he.
" you speak a lot and speak unnecessary things," he said.
I got offended by that because I was being nice to him to make him more comfortable. I stood up without saying a word. I thought to leave the place and go home.
He caught my hand and slightly pulled and said," I don't mean to say unnecessary things but it's true that you speak a lot."
"it's very late and I have to go home," I said.
"I need to clear this matter. I am not gay. I like girls. I had a girlfriend in my previous school. The matter is I don't like your friend. if she has any feeling towards me then say to her that I can't return the same feelings to her." he said.
" I don't know if she likes you or not, I was just playing around," I said but my heart broke. I thought about Lina, she liked him but she never said to me. Now I have to make her realize that he is not good for her.
"Now, will you tell me about how you got the idea about the LGBTQ stuff?"
"ha, ha, ha. I just thought." I said.
"you are very stupid," he said by looking at me.
I said," don't say that, or I will go."
We started to talk comfortably.
He was the one to speak more than me.
.....
"It's very late, Nana might be worried about me."
"I will take you home," he said.
"no, it's okay I can go on my own," I said.
"Okay then, but be careful. Did you hear the rumors about ghosts? so, be careful." he said with a serious look.
it's not that dark. No, no no it's very dark.
"A-vi let's go to my house," I said.
He gave me a wary look.
I said," I mean now we are good friends so I want to give you a treat."
He smiled and said," no need to."
"Please, let's go to my house," I said.
I don't believe in ghost and all. I am showing my side of friendship.
"As a friend, you can tell me that you are afraid. I won't tell to anyone," he said to tease me.
"shut up!"
