"It's been a nice day, " I mumbled to myself.

I strodded down the deserted streets in the golden afternoon.

"At least I got to make a friend. But who knows how much time is left.

For me to be with you?

For you to leave me, airhead?

....just like before... 

That makes me wonder... are they doing well? Wendy, are you really eating or just staring at food magazines while being at a diet? Is Cindy still throwing herself at boys while getting all flustered when she is proposed? Is Liam still running behind girls but rejecting them when they propose, because he loves Cindy?

Is Riana still drinking lemonade everytime she leaves home so that if she runs into a guy, she'll spill lemonade on him and as an apology, get his number?

How are you all doing... my 'friends'?

Have you all changed a lot? Do you guys talk about me from time to time?

Ah who am I kidding? "

Flashback

"Ah! What a pity! Do you really need to leave this school?"

"If you ever miss us, you know where to find us, right?"

Flashback end

"They are just one click away..."

I took out my phone and clicked on the browser as I tried typing something.

"Damn! Why isn't this shit working now? Where did this water come from? This thing isn't waterproof?"

"Ah! I exclaimed as I realized where the water came from...

"Shit! Not now!" I said as I started rubbing my eyes, but by the time I hardly reached for my eyes, the sky growled as the clouds burst into fists of rain drops.

Even after a few days only, it felt like it'd been ages...

"Maybe I too *hic* should let it out *hic* ..."

I fell to my knees. How long had it been..?

"Alyhssa! *hic* Are you... being treated *hic* well now?"

***After some sad moments, she decided to go back home, don't stay in the rain kids. I don't wanna be scolded by your parents***

"WINTERRRRRRRRRRRR!" I shouted as I entered my neighbor's house.

"Stop shouting! What will the neighbors think!" Miss Diany whined.

"But I am your neighbor!"

"That's true though, "she said as she came out of the kitchen, "Oh my! You're soaked! "

She hastily searched for a towel and quickly ruffled through my hair with it.

Miss Diany Winter is a divorced lady in her mid thirties. She occasionally cooks for me and takes care of me. She has twins (a guy and a girl) but one of them is with her father. Her name is Zea. The other one's a guy and too-good-for-me-to-remember-his-name.

"That hair dye... " she said hesitantly, "it doesn't come off?"

"It does but I'd sue the company if it came off before a day so yeah it won't come off now, " I said.

"Oh well, come inside first and close the door. Oh, and open the backdoor! My son's will come home today."

***

"So, your son joined my school?"  I reassured as I gobbled down one egg.

"Should you really eat such an unhealthy amount of eggs, honey?" she said as I gobbled down another one. Like a hungry dog, I finished the whole plate in like 5 minutes.

"Bye! I'll see ya around Diany," I shouted out to her before running towards the door.

"Take this hoodie with you. You'll catch a cold!"

I pulled up the hood and made my way towards the door. How long had it been since I'd received so much care! How good was it, to have someone take care of you!

Ah shit! I broke down again! Never mind, she's not gonna see anyways.

I hurried towards the door but that damn thing was so complicated to open. Just around then, I heard a sound behind me. Her son had probably come back.

"Who's she?" her son asked.

"Ah! You're back! She's the neighbor. Her parents aren't here so I cooked for her," Diany said.

"Eh? She looks pathetic!"

That door finally opened! I hurried out of their house.

"Pathetic"

Next day at school

"Is it true?"

"What is?"

"I heard the brown faggot from yesterday is the true heir to Davis Corporation!"

"Seriously? He is the son of Konnor Davis?!"

"That faggot! He turned out to be filthy rich!"

These murmurs were bugging me off from the moment I entered the class. But one of these, aroused my interest in it.

Behind my seat was a... pink haired dude? Weird flex but okay.

"If only I could make friends with that corporate heir, I'd be loaded for life!" the pinky said.

"But how do you think you're going to do that?" the dude beside him said.

"Friendship between men is easy. You challenge him to a match. Win or lose, you are now friends for life," pinky said.

"But what game are you thinking about? I heard he was just roaming around with some girls. He might be a playboy for all you know," the seatmate said.

"I'M NOT GOING TO BE HIS BOYFRIEND! Kryz Davis - beware, because everyone has a scorpion. I'm yours!"

And I was literally biting my fingers to control my laughter.

"W-Why are you laughing?" the airhead from yesterday asked as he entered the classroom and ascended towards me.

"Nothing. Sit 'er, " I said.

"I think I forgot to introduce myself yesterday. I'm Kryz Davis... "

At that moment, my mind was like, 'HOLY BUNCH OF SPOILED EGGS! WHAT THE ACTUAL F-'

"...and it's nice to meet your acquaintance, Alexise Rivers."

I punched him on the head.

"O-ow! Sorry!" he said.

"What are you sorry for Airhead?"

"A-airhead?" he stuttered again.

Maybe he thought I'd treat him differently just because now I know he's a corporate heir.

But nah! He's just an airhead! A stupid one too!

Giving a gentle smile he repeated in a low voice, "Yes, airhead... I'm an airhead.."

The pinky behind me whispered in my ear, "Hey! Are you his friend?" but I ignored him and continued to stare at Airhead.

Friends, huh?

Who wouldn't want to be friends with with a conglomerate's son?

But deep inside the facade of 'Corporate heir Kryz Davis' I felt like there existed another person. Another Kryz Davis who was just another ordinary person. Someone who longed to be loved for himself and not for his riches.

To at least one person you wanted to be yourself, so... I'll let that person be me, because too, have been in your shoes and I know what it feels like to fake every emotion. So, I'll be there for you... This is what it's like...

to be friends right?
