CALL (COMPLETE)

Chapter 10: Mental Dilemma

JENNIE's POV

I woke up early. Earlier than my alarm actually. I looked at my phone and the thought of last night's happenings already making my day bright.

Ghad.. it's Lisa. I've never even thought it would be her. There's so many people in Korea that could be the person in the other line. But it turns out to be the girl whom I've met in my new school.

Everything makes me feel happy. The pain I've felt when I broke up with Kai slowly fades. Kai didn't even love me. He made efforts, yes. But it turned out it was all part of his act just to get me. I thought he was sincere. I'm just grateful right now that I knew his true agenda before I gave in.

A fucking bet...

Tss. Whatever he does now, I'll fight for myself. And I don't care whoever he fucked before or during our relationship. He's an asshole!

But I did love him. Probably, still love him but it doesn't matter now. Just plain hanging out and made outs. Yep. I get that now. I'll do everything to make him get away from me all the fucking time in the university.

If only I'm not thinking about my parents, I'd let Matthew punch him really hard and ruin his pretty face.

UGh! Now, it's cringy whenever I say it.

"Good morning. You're up early." My mother said while wiping the table.

"I have a 7AM class, mom."

"Mhm. Okay, be seated and I'll call your father."

I just nodded and wait for them. I guess, the bus won't be crowded. It's still early.

I decided to text Lisa. Just a good morning text. Since her other number is the one that is saved on my contacts, I texted that one instead of the one I always call. I know she's still sleeping. They don't have class today.

I still can't believe what's happening right now. But I like this. I like how sweet she is. I like how she talks to me. I like how she makes me feel comfortable every time. Around other people or even when it's just the two of us.

But I'm also thinking.. if ever.. if ever.. this create something between us.. I don't want people to think that I'm making her a rebound. That will never happen. Lisa deserves better than just being a rebound. I like her. I really do. But I guess, we need to wait until I'm completely over with my ex. Because whatever I think of, how much I deny it, I'm still hurting. But yeah.. it's slowly fading the moment I feel this way for Lisa.

"Good morning."

I got startled when dad suddenly hugged me and pecked on my head.

"Good morning, dad."

"You're earlier than the usual."

"We have compressive examination today. I don't wanna be late."

"Taxi are seldom during this hours."

"I'm taking bus now, dad."

"Bus? I thought you hate riding a bus?"

"It's faster. And this daughter of yours? Tss. I can handle myself, dad. I'm a grown up woman just like you said. And I'm acting my age." I uttered proudly.

My parents just chuckled.

"By the way, how's your hang out with Lisa last night?"

"Why are you asking me that, mom?"

"I just wanna know. Why?" she chuckled.

"Why do you wanna know?"

My dad suddenly chuckled.
