Just a Friend

Sheira was sitting with her right hand playing a pen and her left hand holding her chin. His views focused on boards and math teachers who were explaining the material while occasionally crossing off the board with markers. I could not see his face, but I was sure he was frowning because he did not understand the material. As I was busy watching him on the sidelines of the lesson, he turned to me. Perhaps he realized that he was being noticed. Highlight his eyes turned fierce, telling me to pay attention to the board. I didn't obey, just smiling looking at him. Suddenly, my desk was kicked so hard it made me jump, almost cussing. Fortunately, my eyes were quicker to see who was breaking the table before my mouth let out a curse.

"Who's there? Are you pinter? Don't need my explanation? Answer the number 2 question in the book!" ketus math teacher while handing her marker to me.

I glanced around who ended up staring at Sheira. He smiled mockingly making me a little upset.

"Come, ahead! Look there again. Can you answer that?"

Slowly, I replied, "No, ma'am."

He pulled back his marker and said, "Eat him, if explained notice. Not daydreaming. Once again I see you daydreaming, straight out of my class." The mother went back to the front, continuing her explanation.

The break bell finally rang. The math clock is over. Sheira and I walked together to the cafeteria to fill the stomach like the other children. On the way, Sheira discusses the terrible incident earlier.

"Keep still dreaming. Habit, man!" his nag. He walked without seeing me and folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Boss, Shei. Look at the numbers continue. My brain was smoky just now, burning again," martial me.

"Should I see that? Fortunately, I did not spray. Try if it's like biological clock time, you're not careful, I'm also sprayed." He still refuses to look at me.

"So I have to see who if not lo?" tanyaku plain.

"The other cake. Or see the tree outside. What's in it seeing me? What can you do if you see me?"

"Gue can smile when you see. My brain that was about to burn was immediately doused in water, cold."

"Why is that?" Finally, he looked at me as well, still with his hands folded across his chest.

I stopped my steps, facing my body to him. I put both my hands in my pants pocket. He stopped and faced me. His hands were still loyal in front of his chest. Then, I moved my head forward so that it could align with his head. We look each other in the eyes. His face was astonished, and I smiled.

"Because I like you" I said slowly.

His face was instantly flat, almost pouting. He turned his face and preceded me. I hurriedly followed and embraced his shoulders.

He doesn't mind my embrace. We kept walking in silence. It's my habit, after I express my feelings, the interlocutor has to say something. Right, before entering the cafeteria area, he stopped and said, "Well how many times have I told you, I don't like you, Farel. Please, deh! Do you know what I consider? That's never gonna change, Ral. No matter how many times you say you like me, friends are still friends. Not more."

"Gue knows, Shei. I know we're just temen. I know you won't be able to accept me as your girlfriend. I didn't ask for that either. I just don't want to forget how I feel. No problem, Shei. Just so you want to meet me. What I said just now doesn't need to be discussed. Yuk, eat!"

I don't know since when

You look different

A taste is created too

I know this is wrong

Just friends are no problem

I could never be your lover

But you always have my heart

As long as we are always together

Just friends are okay

I don't need the word "yes" from you

Just stay with me

Although, you already know how I feel

I just want you to remember

That feeling is growing

Just be present for you

It will always be for you

In this friend's status
