CHAPTER 016: THE FOOLISH AND THE LIAR

STELLA'S POV

The day has finally come, and I am thankful that I can finally walk properly after so many days of having bandages. Well, it has been two days since the pain on my limbs vanished, so I got a chance to practice my routine yesterday.

There's just something that makes me uncomfortable, and it is what I am wearing right now. With full makeup on, crop top, high waist shorts, and a pair of black shoes; it makes me feel really weird. I don't even know if I look good in it.

Winston Oppa made me wear this, and I hate how I look like now. But I'm glad that he lets me wear a jacket to cover myself.

I entered the campus with William, who's also wearing his suit. It kinda suits him well, but it'll look better with me, honestly.

Even though the campus is loud because of the music, I can clearly hear the Blockheads calling for me. I'm proud to say that I am a member of the loudest group here.

They ran towards us and hugged me really tight which made me get hard time to breathe properly.

"Woah! Look at Stell being Stella," Clyde said with his loud voice and laughs at his own joke afterward but Blockheads just ignored him.

"You're pretty as always," even though Michelle unnie meant to compliment me, it feels like I'm being insulted. I could just roll my eyes as a response.

"Yah!" I got shocked when Jade suddenly butt slap me. "You kiddo, why are you not answering my phone calls?"

"Oh, that? I change my sim card." There's a reason for that, and I won't reveal it for now.

"And you!" She then glared at William who's looking innocently at her. "You did not tell us you're dating Stella!"

Dating? Who?

"You're with her the past few days, right?" Kenneth asked with his meaningful smile.

I glanced at Michelle unnie who's trying not to laugh right now. I could just chuckle on how stupid she looks.

"Well, hmm.. Yeah, why?" William innocently answered. Or should I say that he's just 'acting' innocent?

And then, a stupid idea pops up into my mind.

"So, you two are dating?" Jade asked while pointing her fingers towards us.

"Yeah," I shortly answered as I held William's hand and make myself closer beside him. I can feel how cold his palm right now.

All of them looked at me in shock, even Michelle unnie.

She's really a Yeba.

"Wait... Wait... Dude, why?" Clyde whines; stomping his feet on the ground, and it makes him look the dumbest person ever exist.

And I guess I also have this toxic, stupid brain for thinking that he's jealous.

Don't tell me he likes William? I never thought he's gay.

"Ahm... We-we're-" this one is stupid as well.

I'm still having fun, so shut up asshole

"We're dating." I even emphasize the last word that made all of them except Cylde scream like a kid in unison. They even made high fives, while jumping happily.

All students are looking at us right now. Well, it's ok, it's not even me, who looks like a fool.

William looks at me with his eyes widen, which I only replied with a wink.

"Wait, wait, stop!" Clyde shouts as he stretched his arms as if he's trying to stop a fight. His eyes are also closed, which made it a bit hilarious.

Everyone stops screaming and fixed themselves. Maybe they realized that they look stupid, yet their wide smiles did not leave their faces.

"W-when did it started?" Clyde asked. Why does he sound sad? There's really something that I do not know.

Clyde and William have something, I guess.

"Just this week," William responded. I'm glad he got the joke.

"So.. Y-you're not a lesbian anymore?" Kenneth asked randomly. "I mean.. What did you do to her?" He looked at William with confusion, while pointing him.

"Ahh... Mmm," this one is a bad liar, for real.

"He said I'm cute." That's the most stupid reason I have ever said so far. Well, that's the first reason the come up on my mind as if it's actually the best.

"That's it?" he asked again, eyes are widened. Ken rarely acts foolishly, which made me chuckle.

"That was just heart fluttering. And I really don't know how to explain it." I reasoned out then I let out a smirk.

"Woah! I guess it's because of the tanghulu," Mich unnie said while nodding like an idiot. Well, she's always like one.

Yeba indeed.

"Y-yah! H-how did you know that?!" William asked nervously. I suddenly remember what he said the last time he gave me tanghulu. He never gave me that snack again after, which made me a bit sad.

TYRON'S POV

I just watch them from not far, while drinking a soda. I guess they can't see me right now since there are a lot of students passing by.

My eyes are glued to the girl whom I've been being crazy about for the past few days.

I missed her.

I can finally see her smile right now. How her nose wrinkled and how her Indian dimples appear from too much laughing.

I have a lot of questions on my mind but something shifts all of those.

Her hand is intertwined with William's, and I admit that I'm...

"Jealous?" I got startled by Shelby's sudden approach.

"J-jealous? No! I'm not! Why would I b-be? That's.. that's just... No, I mean, they're friends." I tried to convince her but she just laughed at me, loud enough to make every student look at her.

"You could've just said 'no'," she said while holding her laughter. Well, she's right. I think I just made it obvious.

"What a bad liar you are," she added while holding her tummy, then laugh again afterward.

I felt my cheeks heating up.

She's right, I'm a bad liar.
