Lying on the lap of her classmate. On the side of the playground, under the old mahogany tree where many dried leaves have falling from time to time. Two girls in school uniform rested under it's shade

"Don't you want to go home? It's getting late."

while taking photos of the scenes. Marjorie let Jeya lie in her lap for a few more minutes while zooming in and out with her Mpeg4 camera. Marjorie has a slight gothic-like make up while Jeya doesn't need anymore of that emo-like attire to show how emotional she is. No, not emotional anymore. She was not looking emotional but looking empty now.

Marjorie knew Jeya since freshman, Jeya used to be a happy go lucky student girl. She was active and a loving classmate, everyone thinks highly of her, she is intelligent and even most of their teachers favor her. But suddenly, her close friend in school,Jason, died from a heart failure, then she change little by little.

She become uninterested with her studies, with her higher grades, with school activities, even with funny random things that she usually does before. She is like a drying flower now, like all her colors have been stolen by the bad weather.

"Do you think we will still be in the same class next month?" Marjorie asked Jeya.

Their last grading period is ending. Every Last week of March, Now is their last day being together. Some students were still emotional because they might be separated from their newly made friends for the next school year. Some aren't bothered because they were more excited for they can gain another friends next school year. While some others like Jeya, who doesn't care, for they believe in 'the less you care, the less you will be hurt.'

"Maybe.." standing up dusting her skirt. Jeya then help Marjorie stand up.

They both go on their separate transportation services, Marjorie lives near the school so she got home earlier than her with her motorcycle bike nearby.

Jeya got home late but no one scolded her, She was always this late but. Aside from asking why was she late, they won't bother her anymore, It's either they trusted her or they just didn't care.

She ate supper without changing her clothes and then go straight to her room to change and sat. She opened her messenger account and opened random messages from random friends. It was late but for her it was still early to sleep.

She was bored to death.

She received a text from her friend and the got up from her bed to go outside the house and meet them,

Her friend just lives nearby, She saw two young man and her two girl friends outside their house. Sitting on the garden with no lights on.

A beautiful girl approach her gesturing her to look at the guy behind her. "Jeya, my boyfriend is here, look, he is that tall man behind me." said the beautiful lady in front of her. She was excited while saying this to her.

"Is he?" 'jeya plainly said.

"Yes, isn't he so handsome?" Mae ask her.

Jeya took a glimpse at the young boyfriend, He was tall, fair skinned, thin red lips, and with that playful chinky eyes. Yes, He looks like a playboy. "Indeed."

"Hey," the other one of her friends greet her.

"Hey," Jeya responded. "Oh well, I need to go. My mom just wanted me to buy some soy sauce in the store."

"Owkey." she said prettily with a slang.

Jeya then waved goodbye to them. She sigh. They texted her to come join them just to...

just to show off. She sigh again, It's a waste of time to be the fifth wheel of the two loving couples so she just made up a ridiculous excuse to them.

This two friend of hers are a little girly or a little princess-like attitude. Jeya has a few circles of friends and she didn't always attend every party with them except with her best friends, the Jucies, with a group of fourteen girls with different personalities joined together.

This two aren't from the Jucies, they are more mature on thinking and ways, they say. They are her close friends, when she wanted to pass her boring life she will always check on them.

Another week had passed then,

Then suddenly.

'0935 143 1434- Julian'

Jeya received a business card from Mae thru texting.

"Please text him, I wanted to know, what he would say to you. I gave him your number. please." the next message she received from Mae, She was really a bossy, she like to boss around but Jeya can't help but just let her be,

It's not a big deal to her tho.

"Hi!"message from Julian.

"Hi there" She responded.

"I'm Julian."

"I'm Jeya."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"I'm single."

"Great, can i woo you?'

"No sorry"

"Why?"

Jeya didn't respond anymore.

"What did he say?" Mae asked.

"He wanted to woo me." she bluntly replied.

"Oh,? don't text him anymore, thank you" Mae said.

"Ok" she dryly replied. 'What a man, well not a man enough.'

"Jeya."

"how are you?"

The other one still texted her even though Jeya didn't replied to him anymore and she already change her sim for the fifth times, but he always ended up getting her contact number.

She didn't have the beauty that could cause the whole country to fall but she had a gift or rather a cursed body, She was seductively sexy with whatever she will wear, ragged, fashionista, boyish, emo or nerd, she was still alluring to look at and that had annoyed her.

How will she know if someone will love her for who she was and not what body she had.

Another night they texted her again, this time there's no boyfriends around. She goes to them, it was a boring vacation at all.

"They said he was a player, he was a disappointment." Mae said in a mad like sad like tone.

"Do you want me to take revenge for you?" Jeya ask.

"No need, and Don't." she coldly said.

"Okay." Jeya nodded.

The other days at night again.

Jeya showed up to their friend house, Now it's with those two young man again but Mae was nowhere to be found there.

"Where is Mae,Kim?" Jeya asked. She looked at those familiar faces of a man. "He is?" Jeya ask Kim, why is Julian still there, he is still welcome and she is still meeting them.

Isn't they supposed to be mad also because of what he did to their friend?. Confused she didn't talk to him and ignored. 'He need to suffer a losses too' Jeya pitied more Mae now, How can a princess-like attitude of her friend can not be grieved with this.? She was like stepped on and Jeya wanted to let him taste the same.

"Hi,Jeya. why didn't you replied to my messages?" Julian asked her straightforwardly.

"I changed my sim already didn't you know?" she replied,pretending that there is nothing wrong about changing her sim everytime she wanted to.
