"Hey, Cheryl!" Rose tugged at Cheryl's clothes like a person inviting combat. Cheryl ignored. It's been more than a week, and she ignored her best friend. Cheryl didn't even go with Rose. Cheryl left with her mother. For some reason, considering this moment, Cheryl's tears always wanted to spill. She is happy.
"What's wrong with you?" Rose is still pulling Cheryl's clothes. Cheryl brushed off her best friend's handβa former best friend.
"Take off, Rose. It'll get torn my clothes." Cheryl tried to be patient. By speaking softly.
"Talk to me first, you dumbass! What's wrong with you? Is it strange like this?" Rose did not accept it. Cheryl looked at Rose. She loves Rose, but Cheryl can't get the reality yet. Rose has feelings for Juna. Why does it have to be that man?
"Maturity process." said Cheryl.
"Hell! Talking about adults. Watch porn so that you grow up!" spray Roses. She was so irritable with Cheryl's attitude. No wind, no rain, no earthquakes, no storms, Cheryl's mood changed. Cheryl clung to her like a snail and her house, and now they are glue and water put together. This is can't be happen!
Cheryl sat on the bench. Now, she prefers to be alone. Even though there was Rose who gave up the question, Cheryl was just silent. Even though the relationship with Rose is broken, Cheryl is grateful that the relationship with her mother is improving. It's warm.
There has been communication between the two of them, even though Cheryl can't tell, about the great heartbreak she got. Delisha will take her daughter to campus, and Cheryl will wait for her mother on campus until she comes home from work. Her mother is at home now, cooking instant and canned food for the two of them. Just like this, Cheryl is so happy. Moreover, she knew who her birth father was. Cheryl was many times happy.
Now Delisha's attention. Like lunch, she would ask if Cheryl had eaten, and Cheryl smiled to herself like she got a message of love from a crush. Two humans under one roof, like people who are in love. Cheryl was smitten when Delisha paid attention to her, and Delisha showed concern for her only daughter.
"What's wrong with you?" Rose did not give up. She will not be satisfied until she has a definite answer. But, Cheryl was reluctant. And that made her furious. If Rose don't remember the campus and the crowds, she has already asked Cheryl to do a walk now.
Cheryl glanced lazily at Rose and choosing, rereading the messages her mother sentΒ to her. To be honest, after her mother's attention, Cheryl didn't need Juna anymore. But, Cheryl wants to feel how youth is, like teenagers in general. Dating, fighting, drama, breaking up. And other dramas, which made Cheryl learn about the meaning of life.
"I'll buy you a meal." Rose persuaded Cheryl. The girl turned her head. Cheryl always ate breakfast at home now, and even Delisha gave double the allowance, a drastic change and so fast. So, in general, Cheryl doesn't need Rose either. But, she didn't want to be called an ungrateful human. It's just that Cheryl's heart was not yet at peace.
"Thanks, Rose. But I'm not hungry yet, and I also have money to eat." Cheryl said softly. Rose swallowed, still in shock, Cheryl's drastic change. For what reason, a pinworm turns calm into a female snail.
"Let's eat."
"No longer want to eat." reject Cheryl.
"How strange, witchcraft doll!" Rose go. She can search for anyone because she has many friends. But she didn't want to. Cheryl herself and Rose were more concerned with others. The friendship between the two of them is thick and very attached.

"Ah, crazy!" Rose finished a large glass of milk tea in one gulp. Facing Cheryl made her thirst unsatisfied. Sandra sat in front of her. Rose gave up and took Sandra to the cafeteria. It is very uncomfortable if everyone goes to the cafe in a group and she is alone.
"So what's wrong with her?"
"I don't know. She's really weird." complained Rose.
"Maybes he wants to be alone."
"You know! She's the one who has the problem, and I'm the one who's affected."
"Isn't that right all the time?" asked Sandra sarcas.
"She is. But she is my best friend."
"Cheryl is selfish! She wants everyone to follows her, and she doesn't want to listen to other people. I salute. You are incredibly patient with her." Rose fanned her face from Sandra's gas stove.
"You don't know her life. If you did, maybe like me too."
"That cannot be used as an excuse. She is an adult, has controlled everything. Because, always served, so she shows even more."
"I don't feel that way." denied Rose.
"Oh, great. That means you are easy for people to take advantage of!" Sandra tilted her face and looked at her friend, who, of course, did not accept the accusation.
"I'm not that stupid! Cheryl is already a younger sibling to me." Sandra laughed. For what, friends met at campus made younger siblings.
"Oh." Said Sandra weakly. She doesn't like Cheryl. Cheryl was loud and overreacting. Everyone has to obey her will. Otherwise, she will sulk. So childish.
Moreover, Cheryl was after Juna. Sandra believes, until the end of the world to death, Cheryl will never have Juna. Juna doesn't like girl like Cheryl. Juna's ideal type, a calm, mature, and insightful woman like her. Does Sandra like Juna too? You have no idea.
"So what's wrong with her?"
"Uh, I told you I don't know!" tentacleΒ Rose.
"So, Cheryl is still chasing Juna?" Rose's heart was beating unhealthily when Juna's name was mentioned. The girl squeezed her expensive clothes. She buried her feelings for her best friend, and now Cheryl doesn't want to be friends with Rose. It makes Rose wish to feel a little selfish, let the flavours melt away, and get deeper. However, Rose is not that cruel.
"I think so," Rose replied weakly.
"Oh, I want to order a smoothie, please." Sandra got up and ordered the drink. They have gossip this afternoon. Changed Cheryl, Cheryl's feelings for Juna.
"So?" Sandra has sat back in front of Rose. Rose didn't know what to answer. She knew Cheryl was a persistent person, especially when it came to the prince on horseback, but Juna never paid attention.
"Yes, this goes on until the cat lays a dragon egg."
"Ahahaha. Can be tried." Rose glared in disgust. Sandra laughed based on something that wasn't funny at all.
"Uh, I got a message from Galvin here. They said they wanted to come here." Sandra shows her cellphone. Rose narrowed her eyes. How far are Sandra and Galvin related? Didn't Galvin aggressively approach Cheryl? Argh ... so complicated.
"Just come." Rose's order strawberry smoothie arrived. The girl drank and looked towards the road, Juna, Aldo, and Galvin standing on the side of the road. Indeed, there is no need to doubt, handsome technique boy. Rose held her breath, saw how stunning Juna was today. Think Rose is about to die. The boy, wearing a Navy coloured shirt, is folded in half with his watch perched on his left hand. For what reason, Juna is getting more and more handsome.
Rose's view was never separated from Juna. The boy went inside and smiled warmly at her. She melts. If she were a cartoon in Hotel Transylvania, who became that soft green monster, Rose would have melted with the earth. Rose continued to drink, kept looking at Juna.
"Fresh." Juna immediately brought his face right in front of Rose, grabbed the straw and drank half of Rose's smoothie. Rose only took a breath, when accidentally, her nose and Juna's nose touched. Juna's gaze made her melt.
"Uh, where's my girl?" Galvin asked. The goal he joined was to see Cheryl.
Juna sat right in front of Rose. For some reason, today, the aura feels different. Is it because Cheryl isn't there? Cheryl must be sorry, not joining the canteen and meeting the prince on horseback.
"Thank God she's not here. If it's not noisy, Daddy!" Added Aldo. The boy, wearing a cream-coloured shirt. If Cheryl heard Aldo's words earlier, the two would inevitably argue with each other here. Cheryl can climb the table and hit Aldo blindly.
"Ah, it's not cool that my girl isn't around. Is she sick?" Galvin asked, looking worried. If he have gathered like this, Rose chose the silent step.
"Where's Cheryl?" Galvin asked.
"It's PMS again. So you shouldn't be bothered, fiercely beat a pregnant cat." Aldo chuckled when he heard Cheryl sensing. Yes, sure, the girl is getting noisy and getting more cruel.
"My cat is pregnant, really fierce. Touched a little auto paw, even though it is annoying."
"Cats, when pregnant, are sensitive. Usually, they think they are holding their stomach, afraid that their children might be wrong."
"Hm ... why do I imagine my girl getting pregnant, huh?" Damn Galvin. And ended up being pelted with goods by Aldo.

There is still one course left, but Cheryl chose to skip and go with her mother. At lunch, Delisha took Cheryl away. Cheryl just smiled all the way. The streets, along with the campus that she lamented every time she went, turned beautiful with flowers blooming along the way.
"Maybe we can eat at a fancy restaurant." Cheryl just giggled. Mum feels crushed.
"We are. Cheryl likes to eat, because of Rose q." Suddenly Cheryl's face turned gloomy, remembering Rose.
"Are you having trouble with your friend?" Cheryl gave a weak nod. She was not comfortable talking about this personal problem.
"It's okay if it's not comfortable. If there is anything, tell me. Consider your friend." Cheryl's tears melted. She is young, touched now. Meredith contains a smiley emoji and a heart emoticon. Meredith grew disgusted.
"Thank you, mum."
"I'm sorry for ignored you. There are times when you know everything." Cheryl just nodded. She knew that it was not just her who was suffering alone, that her mother had carried this burden for decades when she was present in her belly.
"Cheryl didn't ask for anything. Like this, Cheryl is already thrilled."
"I knowsl."
Delisha invites Cheryl to eat at a fancy restaurant. Seafood restaurant. She wants to eat lobster and crab.
The restaurant carries a theme like a traditional house, with a tall house on stilts and three floors. And all of them jut into the sea. Of course, it feels, eating seafood on the seafront.
"Oyster sauce shrimp, it's delicious." Delisha looked at her daughter, who was still amazed to see the sea from a height. Guilt hit Delisha's chest repeatedly. Why did she ignore this cute child? Why does the ego always win? She is free and can travel anywhere, and her daughter? Do only darkness and stuffiness accompany her daily life? How many sins has she committed to neglecting this child?
"We order, salted egg shrimp, oyster sauce shrimp, black pepper sauce crab, Cheryl want grilled fish?" Cheryl, who just realized from her reverie, turned to her mom and waitress holding notes and standing there politely.
"Ah, maybe mum."
"Okay, drink two apple juice and one bottle of mineral water." The waitress wrote the order and went over backwards.
"Let's take a photo together." Cheryl smiled and shifted her chair. She was standing next to her mother, who was so clear. Why does she have a mom this beautiful? The mother and daughter smiled sweetly at the camera.
"Mum, please send the photo." Cheryl checked her cell phone and looked at the photos of the two. Cheryl in a maroon top and Delisha in a blazer and trousers. Perfect.
Both meals came. Cheryl is full. This time, there is no heart meal there. Only happiness enveloped her daysβMum everything to Cheryl. If Delisha was like this, Cheryl would be a sweet child, obedient, and of course, achievers. Cheryl certainly knows that the right portion is to get an achievement. It's just that she is lazy to do it all because it has never been appreciated. Now, Cheryl will go after that, can she? But isn't it too late? Will Cheryl also not be late in pursuing feelings for Juna?
Juna with a million mysteries. No one knows, on whom the man's heart is anchored, does Juna already have another lover? Juna is utterly secretive about his life. How about Juna's family, which makes Cheryl curious about to death? Does Juna harbour the same feelings for her?
"Want to go home orΒ campus."
"Not, mum. I want to go home sleepy." Cheryl rubbed her stomach. Her stomach felt so full; she was fond of it. And now her eyes feel heavy. Cheryl's cellphone kept blinking. She knew that Rose was worried about her, especially when she was absent. But Cheryl just wanted to have a day of fun. Who knows, tomorrow Delisha will change as before.
Delisah drove Cheryl home, and she returned to the office, even though it was past lunchtime. But she sacrificed for the happy glow that flashed in Cheryl's cat eyes.

Cheryl slept so soundly. In 19 year of her life, she never slept this well. The girl even drooled to form beautiful islands on her pillow.
"Cheryl. I'm home." It was Rose's voice. Cheryl was still lazy to see Rose's face. It's just that Rose is so persistent and doesn't give up because of her weird attitude.
Cheryl finally got down. She realized that she had not changed her clothes.
Check it out!
"What's wrong with you? If there is anything, tell me what to do. I don't know where I was wrong, and suddenly you avoid me! What's wrong with you, Cher?" Not to mention Cheryl realized. Rose has already sprayed her best friend.
"I'm okay."
"Quick answer! You don't want to go to the cafeteria with me, go home first. You have new friends, huh?!" Cheryl is still silent. Rose is so explosive.
"I'm okay, Rose," Cheryl said weakly and turned around. She was about to close the door, but Rose pulled her shirt from behind.
"What?"
"What is my fault!?"
"Let go."
"I'll let go if you answer!" Rose is getting more and more attractive with the rough clothes of Cheryl
"Let go!" Cheryl tried to escape. But, Rose pull is so strong.
Brak!!
Cheryl's shirt was torn. Cheryl gaped. She didn't think Rose would be this sadistic.
"I won't apologize until I know an excuse!" Cheryl is angry. She can't hold it all. The girl ran to the room. And the body shakes, the adrenaline rushes. Ready to hit Rose's body.
Cheryl took out the torn paper. She has laminated the paper. It hurt for sure, but she wanted to keep it as a memento.
Cheryl came down in a hurry. And threw the paper right at Rose's feet.
"Read that." appoint Cheryl. Rose picked up the paper and read her ownΒ writing.
Plakk!!!
The sound of a firm slap echoed throughout the room.
