8 Years Gap

Gap #4

Her POV

Ms. Bianca was discussing in front of us when Harrison and I noticed that Joshua and Drew were playing quietly and even tickling each other. Joshua sits beside me while Drew is in front of him. Harrison and I quietly laughed because they acted like a couple, especially when Joshua held Drew's cheeks, which made Drew curse him with a low voice. Even though Drew is pushing his hands away, he is still teasing him and continues to put his hands on his cheeks, which made Harrison and I continue holding our laugh.

And suddenly, "Mr. Lui and Ms. Montano! May I ask what it is to laugh about in my discussion?" Ms. Bianca sarcastically said and smiled at us.

Oh no. "Nothing, Ms. Bianca." We answered in unison, and he and I looked at each other and grinned.

He is Harrison Lui, my guy best friend. Yeah, he is a guy, but he is the most trustworthy person I know in this school. We both have our own similarities and, of course, differences. He is the most logical person I know in my life, and sometimes, it hurts the people around him. So here I am, who gives sensitivity to his cold heart. Fitted to be best friends.

I sighed with relief because I was finally done with the activities here in my science subject, and Jacky Chan was also done. I call Harrison "Jacky Chan" because he is half-Chinese, which really shows on his face. Although everyone thinks he's cute, I also do, but not to the extent of liking him.

I was suddenly creeped out of him when he sighed in relief... and smiled at me. "I saw her again."

"Can you stop smiling at me like that? You creep." I said to him with a straight face, but he keeps smiling. I just smiled at him and remembered how we randomly talked about his crush and not logically thinking about it. "If you just dare to tell her, you could have been courting her right now," I told him while he is on cloud nine and suddenly sighed. "If only I could, though," he hopelessly replied.

As you can see, he is hopelessly in love with a senior above us, the typical beautiful and smart girl, Xia Chris. He met her in a mathematics quiz bee, and the two of them were grouped together. His type of girl is like a female version of himself. For him, that is already perfect regardless of the girl's personality. He told me that his patience could cope with its wicked personality, but that's what we always fought about. I even said to him that it is toxic in that kind of relationship.

"Okay. Everyone's finished, so class dismissed," Ms. Merce told us and left the classroom.

I sighed out of relief when I noticed Jacky Chan is leaving the room. "Harrison!" I shouted, which made him stop his steps and looked back. "What?" He confusingly asked me. "And where are you going?" I sarcastically asked him. "School bus, of course." He still confusingly answered me. As expected, he really forgot. "You and Blythe are the ones who are in the class duty for today's diary entry, right?" I smilingly told him, which made him look at the board with his and Blythe's names for class duties.

He sighed and said, "Ah, right. Wait, where's Blythe?" He looked around and cursed. "Did he just go home?!" I put the diary in his hand, immediately picked up my bag, went to the door, and looked at him. "Bye, Jacky Chan! Feel the pain I had!" I laughed and left him there. See, fitted to be best friends, right?
