Back to friends (Lily & Ray)



Lia and I walked through the corridor. We are talking about our performance.


"By the way Lily, I forgot to ask you this, but why has Raven been around lately? chirps Lia.


"Oh that, you remember Mrs.Yu coming when we met. He asked me to help Raven write the song" I replied.


"Eh? why is it suddenly like that?" said Lia raising an eyebrow.


"I also don't know, until now the song has no progress" I explained. If I remember last night I didn't see Raven, did she finish the song so I didn't have to help?


I was lost in my mind.


'Brukk's'


I accidentally bumped into someone, that's...Ray's.


"I'm sorry, were you okay" before finishing my sentence Ray just left.


"What the fuck?" lia said grunting annoyed.


"That's it, it's okay" I said.


"Ck, you're the base" said Lia annoyed.


"Oh, my class has started, I go first Lily" said Lia and ran away.


"Yes, see you later" I replied.

I decided to meet Raven at the music department. Once there I went into the building and did not find Raven, and then I went to Raven's private training room.


But I can't open the door, it's locked. That means Raven't been here. Then where is he? I wanted to send him a message, but the thing is I didn't have Raven's contact.


Ah right, the place of the caskrongnya in the building of literature department, besides that I often see it there, maybe now he is there.


I went straight to the literature department. Once there I tried to find Raven from the door, and instead of finding Raven I found Ray, and he walked towards me.


Is he going to greet me? he still remembers we were friends, right?


"Excuse me.." said one student past me.


Ah right, I was standing next to the door, maybe he just wanted to get out. Gawat, if we cross paths again maybe the atmosphere between us will be even more awkward! I quickly got out of the building before Ray came out.


As soon as I exited the building I saw the stairs of the literature department building. The balcony! I immediately climbed the stairs one by one.


How could I forget? The first time I met Raven was here. I opened the balcony door hoping that the man named Raven was there, the cold air hit my face, but as soon as I looked around again I did not find Raven, there were only her friends, here, Lion and Hanz.


They didn't notice my presence because they were busy chatting, oh! they sit in round hydraulic chairs. So the freak who brought that chair to campus were they?


Where's raven? I sighed in disappointment, I stopped before turning around to leave. Ha, this is why my grades have never been above average, how can it be so stupid like this?


Lion and Hanz are Raven's friends, right, the freak who carries a round hydraulic chair there is Raven's friend. Not forget about the round hydraulic chair. The most important thing is they're Raven's friends.


Why don't I just ask them? I was about to walk towards them but....what if they didn't ignore me? ah no way, I'm sure they're good people.


I walk one step ahead.


"Oh hai" said Lion to me, which surprised me.


"Do you have any business with us? daritadi I saw you standing at the door" said Hanz who was beside Lion. So they're aware of my presence?


I approached them and asked...


"Umm have you guys seen Raven? I have business with him" I asked, and was reciprocated by those who looked at each other with confused faces.


"Ah, do you want to express love to Raven?" lion said.


"Eh? No, it's not that" I deny his accusations.


"Are you the woman who helped Raven write the song? ah what's his name? The Li..Lily?" said Hanz.


"Right, I'm Lily" I said.


"Oh, then greetings, I am Hanz and this is Lion" Hanz said standing up from the chair.


"Ah yes, greetings" I replied with a slight bow of my head.


"By the way you're looking for Raven, aren't you? I don't know, today I haven't seen the sighting" Lion said with a smile.


"I don't know either, ah but if it's so important, I'll give you his contact" Hanz bargained.


"Huh? pfffft, just so you know, Raven won't be angry, you're the first woman anyway" Lion said before Hanz stuffed Lion's mouth with a cloth.


"No problem, you need it anyway" Hanz said, showing me Raven's number. I kept it on my phone.


"Thank you, then I'll go first" I said and left.


"Wahh, so that's the woman that Raven was looking for, she was indeed twinkling" Lion said. Me? twinkle? whatdoes thatmean? is that a compliment?


I went down the stairs while texting Raven's contact I just got.


"Is this Raven?"

In the evening, after rehearsal I got a message from Raven, she asked to meet me on the balcony of the literature department to talk about the song, and I agreed.


I tidy up my things and went to the literature department building, opened the balcony door, here without a lamp. But so bright, the starlight was also very beautiful.


I looked around and did not find Raven, but I saw someone sitting on the floor and looking at the sky using star binoculars. Before I didn't think about the owner of the star binoculars, it was Ray.


When he was still in High School, Ray did often talk about planets, stars, Solar System. He's very interested in that.


Hmm it looks like I have to wait for Raven, so I will wait on the first floor only.


"Who is that?" suddenly asked Ray. He stood up and walked towards me.


"Ah, are you Lily?"


Huh huh? she still remembers me? I smiled, glad to know he still remembered me.


"Yes I'm Lily" I replied as I nodded my head quickly.


"What are you doing here?" ray asked, returning my smile.


"Oh, Raven asked me to meet here" I replied


"Raven?"


"Umm, then you can wait with me, come here" Ray said, holding my hand, taking me to where he was sitting. Ray took off his jacket and put it on the floor.


"Eh no need" I said, but Ray took me to sit on his jacket. Basic, he was always like this.


"I'll show you the constellations I saw earlier" Ray said, directing his binoculars.


Honestly speaking, it was a little strange to see him suddenly becoming familiar with me again after not ignoring me for 1 year. I wonder why she behaved like she didn't know me before, but seeing her excited like this, I guess I'll ask for her explanation next time.


"Look" said Ray.


I use star binoculars, the stars are so pretty.


"Beautiful right? but maybe you don't see the shape, I'll show you" Ray said, opening his laptop.


"See this"



"Oh so it's shaped like this?" my many.


"True, would I like to read the story behind it?" ray asked excitedly, I can't possibly say no right? so I nodded in agreement.


..."The name of this constellation, ' '5 (Alisa), Alisa is the constellation I like the most. Not only because of its beautiful shape, but also because of the meaning of the constellations."...


..."' ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ '' means Alisa herself."...


..." ⁇ (Alisa) is a girl who lost a lot of things. When he was a child he lost his parents, fortunately he was still cared for by his grandparents. As a teenager, he found a friend, then he lost his grandparents. After that he found someone he loved, then he lost his friend"...


..." ⁇ (Alisa) was afraid to be left behind by the person she loved, so she decided to leave the person she loved"...


..."He continues to be alone, rejecting the presence of others, refusing to be loved or cherished" explained Ray....


"Ahh..The story behind it is very sad" I said. I looked at Ray, I was sad to hear that he liked this constellation. Because most likely...


Most likely he liked this constellation because the story was similar to his. I slightly pat Ray on the head. I'm glad we're back friends.


"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING"


P.S: The image of the constellations, the name of the constellations, as well as the meaning of the constellations are the author's writings, hehe.
