"Life is an echo, what you put out comes back to you."

※※※※※※

 Cjay did not come back to the class. He missed four subjects and because I am worried to my closest friend, I decided to look for him after the bell rang. The first quarter of the class is over, meaning, that we have one hour to spend eating at the cafeteria or just wander around the campus. 

I forgot to mention that this campus is a private school and every class have only few students. I went straight to my locker first to keep my books and some used notebooks. I was busy with my locker when I heard two girls exchanging conversations. I don't like to evesdrop but how can I avoid it if they are just like me? Doing business with their locker.

"How the hell that boy can mention it so easily? It creeps me out, just hearing her name sends me shiver!"

"I guess he knew something about her."

I stop from my doing and continue to listen carefully. I know her too, but never got a chance to have an interaction. All I know she's beautiful and nice.

"Don't mind her, she's dead anyway. Dead people can't hurt us, you know."

"Yeah, and besides, she's a bitch, a snake, trying to get a guy in any way possible."

I slam the door of my small locker. How dare they talk about that way to a dead person? Besides, it's her own life. She can do what she wanted just like everyone.

"Can you please guys stop it? Imy and Vanessa? Just go to your loving boyfriends instead of chatting about a dead person."

They both stop, stop to throw me their deadly stare. Okay, I made a wrong moved. I just annoyed the Campus bully and the fight catcher. I am so dead. 

"Well, well, well, the itsy bitsy can now speak a little rude to us, Imy."

Imy, crossed arm on her chest then flip her hair. Do I have to mention how she scowled her face?

"Can you leave it to me Vanessa? I haven't grabbed a fight since this morning."

I look down to my feet. I felt my knees get weaker and my heart started to thump fast. Honestly, I am not afraid of Imy, I know I can fight her but not Vanessa. She will bully me until I die here inside this campus and I don't like that kind of life. 

"I-I'm sorry. I did not meant to be rude."

I felt someone held my chin and force me to look up. Then our stares meet.

"Do you think your sorry is enough?"

I shiver, exact word, exact location. I clearly remember this situation. The day when the girl stares and mine met, the day I saw an eye pleading a help from me. But I am such a coward, I couldn't do anything. How can I fight the most bullies in our school? And now, I know how she felt that day, that day I ignored.

"Are you going to do to me what you guys have done to her?"

Vanessa let go of me quickly and I saw how her pinkish cheeks becomes pale and how hers avoided my inquiring stare. I defeated her, she still feel guilty.

"But I did not killed her! Besides, her and I became close before she left this world. so I guess, I am forgiven."

She chuckled trying to hide her true emotion, trying not to show how she's afraid. Then, I felt Imy grabbed the collar of my uniform.

"How dare you talk to Vanessa like that? Bitch!"

She pushed me hard and I trip my feet because of the force. I ready myself for an impact, for the cold pavement to kiss any part of my body but it doesn't happen. I felt a warm but firm body at my back, add up the arm that snake around just under my breast.

"Hol'up, girls! Why fighting this midget?"

The voice is very familiar. Lately, I felt like dying because of fear, now, still dying but because of tingling emotion I am feeling right now. I can't believe it but My Love Jungkook just saved me. 

"Are you okay?"

Did he just asked if I am okay? Of course, I am not okay! I felt like melted. My ultimate crush since last year is talking to me right now! 

"Y-yeah. Thanks Jungkook."

He helped me to stand up straight. I quickly fixed my uniform. Beside him is V, I did not notice that he's with him. I tried to compose myself.

"Hi, midget!"

He lower his head then show me his famous box smile. This guy is very handsome, I cannot blame the girls for chasing him but little did they know that this guy is a plain cheater.

"I-I have to go."

I exited the scene and leave all of them. I know Jungkook was there but I cannot stay for long, not with them. I tried my best to avoid them and I will not break it just because of my crush thing.

I took a deep breath when I finally get out of the building. I check my watch and I sigh of relief when I saw that I still have forty five minutes to have my break. Well, the commotion earlier feels like forever to me. Like the first plan, I walk around the campus looking for Cjay and just like every time he's gone. I found him at the campus garden, again with his earphone and sketching on his paper.  He loves to draw but never joined any drawing competition in our school.

I held tight my small bag that consist my food and about to approach him when I saw one of my classmate walk his way first, Asyla. 

I can't hear their conversation 'cause I am still far from them but I wince when I see her harshly snatch and throw at the cement Cjay's Sketch. He just look up to her and remove his earphone.

Since when they did become close? They never talk at each other inside the class. Is Cjay somehow her boyfriend too? Wow! That girl is something. I watch her nag him, still I have no idea what she's saying. Until, I saw her stamped her feet away from him. Cjay pick up his sketchpad shaking his head.

I did not waste any second and ran towards him then sit down on the bench next to him. This garden of our school looks like a typical park you can see at the city. There is huge fountain in the middle of the small garden but not working anymore. Yet, still some students came here to wish at the fountain. Thanks to the janitors, for changing the water in the fountain weekly.

"What's that all about? Since when Asyla and You became close?"

I open the small bag and get my sandwich, I offered some to him but he refused.

"We are not close, she just confronted me about what I did earlier at class."

I stop halfway from attempting to eat and put down my hand that held my sandwich and rest it over my lap. I watch him continue to finish his drawing. His drawing is excellent, but there's one problem about it.

"Still can't move on?"

I heard him chuckled bitterly and glance at me.

"Can you see her smile? How I missed to watched her simply staring at this fountain with her sweet smile and prayed a wish."

Yes, Cjay came her at the park just to draw her standing in front of the fountain. Her that he liked the most since his Sophomore year. The girl, we tried not to talk about since the day she was gone.

"Still blaming yourself?"

I see that he's done with his drawing and now just writing her name at the bottom in very artistic way. I took a bite of my sandwich, I'm a human you know. I get hungry.

"I'm not. I just missed her."

"Then, that's good. Yet, it would be greater if she's still alive, right?"

He glance at me and small smile crawl up his face.

"I guess, so. Now, can I have sandwich?"

"Hey! I thought you refused! Just be thankful that I prepared two pieces of it."

I giggles then handed him the sandwich I personally made. He was about to get a bite when he asked me a question.

"What is her surname again?"

I swallow down first my food and stare at his drawing carefully before I answer.

"JORGE, CAMILLE JORGE. "

※※※※※※

After we eat, I invited Cjay to come with me and go back to the class. Our next subject is mathematics, the subject I hate the most. Finding X and Y to get the solution, therefore I conclude that humanity just need to move on! 

Anyway, I know there was no connection but please don't laugh at me my lovely readers. Okay, let's go back to class. I was busy again, staring and making myself mesmerized over Jungkook when Amari, the most weird human I ever knew in my life pulled her chair and situated it next to me then sat down comfortably. Okay, I guess she's not weird at this moment.

"ZEPHYR!"

She's the only classmate who call me by my whole first name. I guess she just wanted to be different among the rest. 

"Yes? How can I help you?"

She lean his head closer to me and whisper. 

"I have a bestfriend. And I like to take her in the class and let her meet everyone."

Okay, just forget what I said earlier that she's not weird. Wew. I stroke my brows but force a smile on my face.

"Whose friend?"

She smile huge and giggle and get something from her bag pack. Then she show me a fluffy small doll. It's blond hair is braided at the left and right side both resting on it's chest, it has pink circular button as the eyes, brown button for the nose, and it's lip is just embroid with red thread. I am just thankful that the doll is fucking smiling or else I will throw it out this room. It look so creepy.

"Oh, Hi  to your--Bestfriend."

Amari, giggles again. She get one piece of paper and position it on her arm desk then let the doll hold a pen and guided it to write. I snort, why am I wasting my time entertaining her? Therefore, she come to me nicely so I need to endure. I stuck my stare at the white board when I felt a soft thing touching my arm.

"Hey, hey, my best friend wrote something for you."

I mentally roll my eyes, if this will not stop. Then I will be the one to stay away from her. I grab the paper from her desk and read it. 

My mentality destroyed, my breathing got heavy, I felt cold sweat formed on forehead and neck. All my strength left me in an instant. What the usual fuck is going on to her fucking brain? She's beyond insane!

"My doll said, she like to be best friend with everyone."

She giggles again and I heard the sound of her pulling chair going back to her proper place. I still can't move. I didn't do anything, yet, I am afraid. 

"Hi, my name is Camille. Can we be friends? "
