I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 6 - You Sweet

The filming of the style ended when the time was already showing at half ten in the night.

Everyone is getting ready to go home. Almost all of my friends drive cars, some drive motorcycles. I'm the only one riding a paddle bike.

I'm also getting ready to go home. When you look at the time, maybe only half eleven I arrived home. I started to ride my bike. One paddle, two paddles and so on.

TIN... TIN... TIN...

Suddenly there was a car horn. The surprised me immediately sidestepped the bike and turned my head.

"Khansa, let's go up." I saw Alex and Diana in the car. Alex pulled down the windshield and talked to me.

I'm still silent. Confused what to answer. Suddenly Alex parked his car on the side of the road and got out of there. He walked towards me.

"Let's ride. I'll drive you. Your bike just drop it in the parking lot. I'll get people to take it."

"Eh... N-nothing... I can go home by myself..."

"It's already night. What time will you be home if you pedal like this? Let's go up."

"Become-beneh... Don't you..."

"Here's Ay... Why is forced. If he wants to go home by himself, yes, yes. Comein. Cepet anterin I'm home. I'm fucking up." Diana pulled down the windshield and spoke to Alex. Diana's face looked displeased and disturbed.

"L-yes... Said Diana. Then I'll go home first." I got on my bike and got ready to pedal.

But it turns out that Alex was holding the back of my bike, so I couldn't do anything about it.

"Down. Get in the car." Alex's voice sounded deep. I saw his expression. Looks like Alex doesn't want to be disputed right now.

I'm so confused. You must follow his words or not. I looked in the car. Diana's expression looked annoyed.

"Don't make me force you. Get in the car." Alex's voice contained a powerful magnet that made me obey him.

Alex drove me into his car and opened the door. After making sure I was in his car, he returned to my bike and led him to the foodcourt parking area. He spoke for a moment with security there. Once it was safe, he returned to the car.

"You don't have to be this way Ay. If he wants to go home alone, let's tell him."

"She chick. Her friend. I'm the head of this group. I'm responsible for all my group members." Alex sits behind the wheel and starts driving. I just watched their debate from the back seat. They talked about me as if I wasn't there.

"I'll take you first, and then I'll take Khansa."

"You don't be so good Ay. Your attitude like this will make a girl kege'eran loh."

"Khansa is not like that. Isn't it Khans?" Alex looked at me through the rearview mirror. I could only swallow at the sight of those sharp eyes. I nodded my head in response.

"Suppit. Don't be too good with other girls. I can be jealous." Diana pinched Alex's arm playfully. His look looks very spoiled. Alex looked at him and smiled. With one hand she took Diana's hand and placed it on her chest.

"You are the owner of this heart. So don't be foolish to be jealous of the little things." Alex's voice looked solemn and deep. Any woman who hears her voice will fall in love. When those words were directed at him. While Me? I'm really sick of hearing those words. Not because they felt that Alex's words were so classic and full of bravado, but the words emphasized that there was indeed no gap in Alex's heart for other women. Alex's heart is for Diana. Point.

My heart hurts so much. I want to get out of that car and leave them both. I can't stand to see it.

I know Alex is so good to me because he has a good nature. He'll be nice to everyone. If there is a fool (I) who is ge'er towards all his attitudes, it is not Alex's fault but that person's fault (I).

Without me noticing all of a sudden the car has entered the elite residential area of my city. Then Alex stopped the vehicle in one of the big brown houses.

Alex got out of the car. He walked around the car and opened the door beside Diana. Although my eyes don't want to see them, they're still following Alex.

They both seem to be holding hands. Diana hugged Alex and Alex returned her embrace. Then Alex spoke, seemingly telling Diana to rush inside the house.

Diana seemed to object. Diana unexpectedly kissed Alex first. Alex immediately distanced his body and looked into the car. It seems Alex was worried that the scene was seen by me. I turned my attention in the other direction.

And they continued kissing. My body vibrates. Trying to endure all the heartache. I emphasize myself. I'm a nobody. I'm a nobody. I have no right to hurt. I close my eyes tight. Trying to get rid of their shadows kissing in my head. But the shadow remains.

FLECKISH

Alex was back at the wheel. His face looks illegible.

"Khans, move ahead yeah." Her speech.

"Eh??"

"If you're behind like that, I really look like a taxi driver." A small smile fell on his lips.

"Oh, oh I-yeah..." I awkwardly moved to the chair next to her, the former seat occupied by Princess Diana.

"I'm sorry, you've seen scenes like that." Alex's face was red.

"Eh yes... N-nothing. Su-it's common..."

"You're used to seeing scenes like that?"

"Ehmm yeah..." Although not often, but I did see some other friends kissing at school. Seeing them like that had no effect on him, but seeing Alex do it was as if I wanted to drown myself in a deep whirlpool. I want to forget that scene.

"Do you have Khans' girlfriend?" I shook my head quickly. "Why don't you have one yet? For High School kids like us, it's not natural to date?"

"Nobody wants to." I answered perfunctorily. My answer seemed to surprise Alex. He looked at me for a long time and then laughed.

"You're funny too." He said with a laugh. "I can't say no one wants to, there's just this you..."

"No one wants to..."

"Can't you?" Alex asked stupidly. It seems like his smart brain is starting to malfunction. How can he say?! That could. Which part of him will make a man interested? What a stupid question.

"Either you mock me or something..."

"Hey, why do you think I mocked you? I seriously asked, how can no one want to? You are sweet." Alex spoke as if without a burden. His gaze was straight ahead, looking at the streets. He did not know the effect his words had on the heart and heart of people's girls?!

My heart is beating fast. Really very stupid. Though the words came out of the man who had just kissed his girlfriend's lips, but somehow those words still had a big effect on me.

"Don't tell lies..."
