Part 29- Lancer's Other Side

I was nervous. I don't know why, but I was nervous for Friday. When I told Aunt Mareia that I'll see Stacy, I felt normal. But now, I feel like, should I really? Is this a trap? Would some shit start up again?

But then I remembered, Susan will be there with me.

I blew out a sigh of relief as I locked the front door. I begin walking to the forest as my mind is fixed on tomorrow. I then remembered that night and I shivered. I wonder how she was after these few years. I am actually glad I didn't saw her at all, but I don't know why now.

But now, I think I won't go. I mean, Stacy sounds made up, like it's an truck for me to fall into. What if Jessica just wanted to use me for something? Besides, Stacy is such a used name.

I was so in thought, I didn't even realized the crunch of leaves behind me. I whipped around to only see Lancer.

"Geez, why are you so jumpy Rosy?" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, I think that nickname is over used now. Can you please return it to rent or pay for it." I said as I hold out my hand. Lancer shrugged and reached into his pocket. The next thing I know, there was three dollars in my hand. My eyes widened as he actually took it seriously.

"That'll be for the next week, Rosy." He says as he walked past me. His hand pats my curly hair as I got a bit mad.

"Why though. My hair suffers too much from knots for your hands to touch it!" I yelled at him. He continued walking as I catcher up with him.

When we were walking to school, I would usually say something to mess with him, but now, I too deep in thought. We didn't even walk out the forest, when Lancer spoke up.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He said. I shook my head as I keep walking, but he stopped.

"Rosy."

"Yes bastard?" I said jokingly. I stopped and turned to look at him. His forest eyes looked through my sunglasses. He had a serious look, and I realized that little part of bleached hair looked good on him. It's was like, this personality was a different side of him. My thought process broke as he walked towards me.

"Lancer, step back." I said, my back to a tree. He smirked his head and spoke:

"Sure Rosy." He said as he stopped right in front of me. I pushed my hand on his chest, to his chest to pushed him away. Then, I had an idea. I took my hand off his chest and ducked underneath his arm.

"Just, let's go before I'm late." I said. I heard only my feet walking, so I stopped and faced him. He looked down, a bit hurt and deep in thought. He then looked up with serious eyes. I don't know, but that serious look is handsome.

"Janet, something's wrong. Am I right?"
