On Saturday, I was waiting in the park, when someone reached out to me, it's Kayo,
"Hey Aita…" kayo said with a pale face,
"Y- yeah?" said Aita,
"Why did you come… (terrifying face)" said Kayo,
"Eh?" Aita was shocked,
"Useless piece of you, I can't believe you were born into this world, if you were a cat, I will throw you into the fire honestl-" Koko suddenly came out from the bush, then she shook Kayo,
"GET RID OF YOURSELF!!!" Koko said, Kayo paused before getting control,
"what in the world…" said Aita
"I- I'M SORRY AITA!!" Kayo apologized,
"I- It's fine, you didn't act like yourself back then…" said Aita,
"I always saw Kayo as a very supportive classmate in class, but I never saw her talk to a boy, even a male teacher…" Aita thought.
"Uhm" Koko paused,
"Ka-chan has androphobia…" said Koko,
"Ka-chan?" asked Aita,
"I MEAN… KAYO!!!" Koko panicked,
"Ahem…" she paused,
"She can get so nervous with a boy… And when she reaches her limit… She will be sadistic…" said Koko, nervously,
"So that's why…" Aita said
Kayo feels like she's reaching her limit any time soon,
"I think… You better rest…" said Koko,
"You're joking, I can do this!" even though she said that Kayo can barely stand up properly, she's also shaking,
"YOU'RE NOT OKAY AT ALL!"
"I guess we should use plan B…" said Koko,
"W- when did we have plan B?!" Kayo's voice was shaking, Koko pulled off her phone and called someone in a whisper.
One second later,
Sakura came, "Guess someone decided to use plan B" said Sakura then she grab Kayo, "WAIT- I CAN DO THIS-" Sakura covered her mouth,
"Alright! Koko, now you takeover Kayo's time, okay?" said Sakura then she instantly disappear,
"So she acts like that to her friend too", Aita thought,
"Anyways! Seems like I will take over Kayo's time, it will be fun!"- said Koko, paused,
"Eh? She means… I WILL BE WITH HIM FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?!?!"
Knock knock,
Koko's mom opened the door, and there was Koko and Aita,
"I am home mom…" said Koko,
"Welcome back honey!" she looked at Aita,
"Oh? Who could this be?" said Koko's mom,
"Oh uhm, I am Aita, Koko's classmate…" said Aita,
"Mmmmm I see then, Aita was it? You're allowed to date my daughter" said her,
"M- MOM?!" HE IS JUST…" Koko paused,
"We're not yet friends…" said Aita,
"Not yet…" Koko said, she paused,
"Um, follow me Aita!" she said, pretty shy but Aita decided to follow her
One minute later, she dragged me inside… Her room?! The room was super messy, filled with books laying on the floor,
"O- oh, haha… I… I might've forgotten to… clean my room for a… month already…" she said, her voice is shaking because she's really embarrassed at this point
Aita looked at her with 'are you serious' face,
"I don't know how this person managed to live in this world" Aita thought,
"I don't know what he's thinking, but I feel like he's insulting me!" Koko thought,
"You're evil" Koko cried,
"WAIT, HUH?! I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING!!!" Said Aita,
"oh" she paused, "Sorry…"
I picked up a book on the floor,
"AH THAT IS…" she said,
"Girl's love stor-" before I could finish, she took the book,
"You saw nothing…" she said with an awkward smile,
"don't just peak at my book, it invade my privacy" she said, looking away,
"But then you give the address of your house", I said
"But why do you have a mountain worth of books?" I asked,
"O- oh that's because…" she paused,
"maybe a hobby? I-I don't have a reason to begin with…" she said,
"A hobby huh?" I said,
"Y- Yeah, a couple years ago, I've always studied alone and I… don't move a lot. Because of that, I am very clumsy and slow… Haha…" she said, awkward again,
"That's why… You seem shy and uh… Social anxiety…" I said
"O- Oh right!" she paused,
"What's your favorite food?" Koko asked,
"Eh? My favorite food?" Aita paused,
"...That would be… Ayam Masak Merah…" I said, and then she suddenly said,
"MOM! DINNER I WANT TO EAT AYAM MASAK MERAH!!!" she yelled,
"Okay~" said her mom from downstair
"W- why did you…" I said,
"I…I… uh… I thought it would be nice to… Eat with friends" she said, looking away,
"Because… That's how I made friends despite my social anxiety…" she said,
"Huh?" I said
4 years ago, I was a bookworm like I am now, so I spent my day reading books. And my mother worried with my health and she invited me to buy ice cream in the park
But we happened to be separated and my nervousness became max and…. Haha you guessed it, my brain stopped working. But then suddenly someone approached me
>>>4 Years Ago<<<
Koko can't process anything and she stands mindless,
suddenly someone grabs Koko's shoulder from behind,
"Guess who?" said by that person and Koko didn't respond and almost cried,
"OKAY SORRY!!!!" she looked at Koko face-to-face,
"Please don't cry, okay?" said by her, which softened Koko's heart…
"Are you lost?" she asked Koko, and Koko slowly nodded
The girl gently asked Koko, "Do you know where your parents are?" she asked,
"We… We went to buy ice cream in the park…" Koko said,
"Oh! That ice cream place! Follow me!" that girl said
And Koko and her mother reunite, and before that girl leave, she said her name was Kayo
>>>Present Time<<<
"That's how I know Kayo, I was shocked to know the transfer student was Kayo, even more surprisingly, she's just as old as me!" Koko said
"I don't think that relates to food" Aita said,
"A- Ah- if I didn't go to buy ice cream with my mom, I wouldn't know who Kayo is…" Koko said,
"R- right" Aita said
"But you know? The story is somewhat similar to what happened back then", Aita said
"Eh? What… What do you mean?" Koko questioned him,
"I mean… look, you decided to help Kayo who reaches max nervous system, sounds similar?" Aita said, she blushed a bit,
"You're right…" she smiled,
"She's my friend after all!" Koko smiled,
"Because of her, I am not alone like you" She burst into laughter,
"That hurt…" Aita said,
"AH SORRY!!!" She quickly apologized, but then, Koko just realized that - Aita is no different from Koko - without Kayo, they would be isolated, no different…
"You know what? I will be the one who will say this… Let's be friends!" she smile confidently,
"Huh?" said Aita
