Senior, Stop Teasing me!

Miscomprehension

“Do not joke.” I snapped his head quickly, what a stupid thing he was thinking. Although my school was better than hers, it was the last message her mother left.

“Your boyfriend?”

Oh my God, I forgot about the existence of Shafa. I forgot that he had been following me from the beginning. But what question did he ask earlier? I just glanced at Syafa lazily. Look, the look on his face was completely blown away.

“Jaga Zytha for me ya~”

“Don't tease her, Wan.” I put my sharp gaze on him. Apriliawan doesn't know how my new friend is, he'll believe whatever he hears. “Stop for eye-tink!” I flicked my finger again to his forehead, really pissing off. For what he always plays his eyes to every girl. Whether the fans are crazy out there is not enough to keep him busy.

“Don't be jealous first donk. I'm only yours,” said Apriliawan back. I know he's just flirting. Sometimes I wonder at the temptation of this one, I never mind. A moment later Apriliawan grabbed my lips with his fingers, rubbing them a few times gently.

“I don't want other guys tempted by you too,” he said casually. He has deleted all my *lipstick-.

“So, are you guys really dating? Whoa..., Zytha! Your girlfriend is indeed a beauty that surpasses the Greek gods.” I just rolled my eyes. I don't know if he's playing dumb.

I was like seeing the reflection of someone dangerous in Apriliawan's eyeballs because the glare of his eyes became creepy, his facial features suddenly became cold so as to eliminate his sweet smile a moment ago. I slowly followed his gaze behind me. Uninvited guests have entered our circle.

“Zytha,” call Reza down from behind me. What's wrong with her? He looked not as excited as usual.

“What's up?” I'm still racking my brains, why does Reza have to be here now. I don't want to argue and see it for now.

“Bungu.”

“Ah. Thank you” I almost lost my flowers.

Reza suddenly lowered his face towards my ears again, my body as if it was becoming tense and stiff. Instantly I remembered almost the same incident a moment ago in the Studio. Reza whispered right in my ear, “keep it well.”

“Uh?”

I saw Reza turn around and leave us. There's something strange about this atmosphere, am I being too sensitive? It's not like Reza usually just leaves without pissing me off. Immediately then I turned towards Apriliawan in a semi-conscious state, I tightly held the flower in my arms.

“Who?” The look on his face was very different from what I saw a while ago. For a long time I did not see the look on his face that made me uneasy, Apriliawan asked me as if asking a stranger. She did not look at me at all, just looked away and would several times try to touch her hair.

“Di-dia seniorku.” I hesitated to answer him, like something was wrong here.

“Good. I'll see you next time.”

“Ta-tapi–”

“I'm tired, Zytha,” he said cutting my sentence.

I kept staring in a daze and trying to guess what really happened. Apriliawan got into the car without saying anything more, he passed by without his sweet smile on me. I feel like I'm going to cry. I feel guilty and worried. He came all the way and came home with a face I really didn't understand. I don't like this situation.

“Zytha...,” call Syafa with a weave. I looked at Syafa like I was asking for help to wake me up.

“What really happened?” I asked myself and looked at the end of the road. The car is out of sight, Apriliawan has passed.

“Is he mad at me?”

“You are really stupid!”

“What do you mean?”

“What's your relationship with Reza?”

“No.”

“Keep that flower?”

“Come on, you'll know. This flower is a flower that Reza gave while on stage. And that's just for formality.”

“Oh Lord. You didn't see Reza's view of your girlfriend? It was as if there was a sword blade ready to be smoothed!”

“Do not joke. I'm not in a relationship with Reza. Even we might be said to be enemies.”

And as for Apriliawan, we were also not in a romantic relationship so he had to feel angry when he saw Reza give me flowers. He too quickly came to a conclusion and left without asking anything first. Did I misunderstand Apriliawan's feelings for me? Shouldn't have. He and I were best friends, and he never showed me his romantic side. He never said anything.

“Better we go back first, senior asks us to gather in the field.”

“Syafa,” call me softly staring at his back.

Syafa turned to look at me for a moment, “why?”

“You can't misunderstand me and Reza. We really are not in any relationship.” I don't want Syafa to misunderstand me, I know he admires Reza a lot.

“I'm just his admirer, I'll appreciate Senior's feelings.” Shafa said it with a smile, he really makes me feel ashamed. I kind of betrayed my own friend, even though we didn't have a relationship but that kiss was enough to pressure me.

After entering the school area back, I realized the huge difference from everyone's gaze. Previously, only guys who had an interest in my face approached and made me uncomfortable. But now, everyone is looking at me with interest.

I don't think my old school life will be much different from my current school life. I am quite tired of these troublesome things, always putting on a mask to keep being friendly to everyone who comes my way. Can't I just ignore it, just assume I don't exist.

I saw Reza standing in an indifferent manner, folding her hands in front of her chest. His face was noticeably colder than usual, making most of the students reluctant to stop even if their eyes were bewitched by his good looks. There were only a few words of greeting and then it passed awkwardly.

He must have been very tired of handling all of them, was that what made him put on his cold face? Only to be used as a fortress and a powerful repellent tool.

Seeing Reza once again made me think of Apriliawan. What's going on between them? I have to call Apriliawan after this whole thing is over. It was rare to see my best friend show such an attitude, I forgot when was the last time he behaved like that.

I really don't understand guys. I guess only girls are hard to read, guys are harder than they think.

“Hai, deck Zytha!”

All right, get rid of all the thought that guy's hard to read. Because in fact, one group of guys who one by one approached me this I can guess the motive.
