Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 211

Three days passed Jeni permission not to go to school, and during that time the relationship Rainbow and Joe appeared a distance. They no longer look as familiar and close as usual, when going home and going to school Rainbow always bring his personal car.

"Ehm, Princess cold.. Me, I want to talk to you." Lisa looks nervous and hesitant when her intention can no longer be held to interfere in this matter.

"Hem, what's up Sa?" Rainbow asked as they were doing a practice in the lab room.

"About Jeni.."

The rainbow looked at Lisa for a moment.

"Then?"

"Are you guys hostile?"

"Do we look like that at the moment?"

"Ti, no. It's just, you guys look weird. You and Joe are looking away from each other right now, aren't you?" Lisa said after glancing at Joe who was now facing a little away from the rainbow.

But during these three days, Joe still tried to behave as usual on the Rainbow even though it was not too forcing to stay close to the Rainbow.

"Me and Joe..." Rainbow speech stopped and then looked at Joe who is now busy with his practical tasks.

"Princess cold, I'm still your best friend, right? If you want to say something, say it, tell it if you want to share."

"Sa, I just don't want to make our atmosphere any more complicated. But honestly, I'm tired of Sa." Answer the rainbow who then put the various tools he used earlier, then move away from the room.

"Sir, excuse me. I went to the toilet for a while" Pamit Pelangi asked her guidance counselor for permission.

"good. Don't be long, yes" said the teacher.

"Ehm, sir. I have to go to the toilet, too,"

"Ohuh, Lisa. You are, always following along. Hurry up a little,"

"Hehe. Thank you sir," Lisa followed Rainbow quickly to the toilet.

When he arrived at the toilet, Rainbow washed both hands and took a deep breath facing the mirror in front of him at this time.

"Huhft.. Rainbow, let's not you alone ponder the matter between you guys." Lisa said as she arrived at his side.

"Sa, that day. Where Jeni and Joe are late to catch up with us waiting for him at the gate, I intend to follow Joe to the library room as he says. Because she was so long I thought she was having a hard time, but after I caught up with her she wasn't in that room. I tried searching the whole room in the cafeteria, and it turned out that she was in class together... Jeni,"

"So what? So that day they deliberately made a pact and tricked us?"

"Sstt... Keep your voice down, Lisa.."

"Ups, I'm sorry. I'm just a little shocked, I can't believe they..."

"I accidentally heard all their chatter, Sa. I felt guilty and trapped, Jeni expressed her feelings for Joe, but Joe immediately rejected her on the grounds that she was... Loving me, I don't know when she's good at lying just to avoid someone."

Then the rainbow went on to tell her everything she saw, what she heard, what she did and what Joe did after that to her. He tells without the slightest pause, he nyerocos without realizing if Lisa only saw him with a naughty smile to tease him.

"Sa, are you beating me up?" Rainbow asked then after he realized the attitude of his best friend.

"I heard it, Princess cold. But are you really okay?" Lisa tried to detect it.

"Hmmm.. Me, I'm fine."

"Surely, your heart doesn't feel like it's beating faster than usual?"

"D, Eh.. That, i.. Dih, what the hell is Sa? I'm doing fine. It was because I was just surprised, until it trembled. Because this was the first time I saw Jeni's attitude so different in front of Joe that day."

"I ask you once again, your heart felt a different beat no, when Joe said a word of love to you and dared to bring his face closer to you at that time?"

"............." Lisa was still standing staring at Rainbow's face with a mischievous smile.

"Lisaa... Don't bummer, ah. Stop looking at me so mischievously!"

"My dear old princess, what if Joe meant what he said to Jeni?"

"That's impossible, we've been friends and like brothers when we were kids."

"That was then, not now."

"That's impossible, I'll give up on Jeni. I don't want to ruin our friendship all this time, Sa."

"But what about Joe? Sacrificing about that feeling isn't good baby, you won't be able to hold back. I've experienced it and felt it took me a long time to recover my own heart. And about Jeni, however, if Joe can't accept his love then what's the difference with ruining our friendship? His current attitude alone had already pissed me off, I knew he was doing it on purpose."

"Sa, Jeni's not that kind of person. You know that, you know Jeni better. You've been together since childhood, haven't you?"

"That's why I know that Jeni's taking advantage of the situation."

The rainbow silently lowered its suddenly moody face.

"I don't even know what it's like to fall in love, Lisa. I never thought about dating all this time."

"You should think about it from this second, Rainbow. You have to learn to love and feel the beauty of being loved, at least when we grow up, we have a memory to tell our children as a precious experience."

"Cih, what the hell. Your mind's too far away, we're new High School. Not getting married, hahaha. Lisa, I..."

"I just want to help the people I care about. Especially you, Princess cold. I love Jeni a lot too, but this time I'm very disappointed. This is not the Jeni I know, love is always capable of turning people crazy."

"I don't want to feel what love is like for me.. Love is just a word, which will eventually be separated and forgotten. That'll hurt more, Lisa."

Lisa furrowed both her brows hearing Rainbow speech. He began to wonder and think inwardly.

Could it be that before her Rainbow had already experienced the heartache of loving someone? But who? Who's the guy who can hurt his heart, you son of a bitch.

"Princess cold, have you got your heart ready for another guy? Hm... Who's the lucky guy?"

"Ti, no. I've never been, I've always closed my heart to whoever that guy is. Don't you know that too, Lisa?"

"But hearing your words just now, it's like you've been in love but had to be separated by force."

"Huh, you're this.. I have asked a lot since. Let's just go back to class, and then the teacher punishes us again." The rainbow went out from before Lisa.

"Rainbow, wait..."

"Hemm, what else is Sa?" The rainbow turned back towards Lisa with a lazy face.

"Think of it, Joe really loves you and thinks of you as more than just a friend. I can catch it from both eyes yany always staring at you secretly."

"Don't be silly, Sa. Let's go to class,"

"I want you and Joe to be, anyway, about Jeni to be my and Lucas' business."

"Somewhat." Answer the rainbow while accelerating its pace.

"Princess cold, uh.. Bummer,"

"Bodo very!!!" Answer her again half a centus.

In her heart Lisa is determined to be a matchmaker Joe and Rainbow so that they are really bound in a relationship later.

I'm sorry Jen, this time I have to make you aware.
