"Girl, where you at? Rom and I's here already." A text from Mire.
"On my way." I reply.
I turn to him and said, "I gotta go. Don't follow me."
He just looks at me like a curious puppy.
I smiled at the librarian and pushed the door open.
~
He walks beside me, I stopped walking, "Didn't I to—"
"Yeah, okay, whatever. I'm still going with you."
"I won't allow that! I'm seeing my friends!"
"Cool! I wanna meet them too."
"What?! Who told you so?"
"Me. I'm your fake boyfriend, so I have the right."
"Stop saying that fake fake fake thing, I don't care about any of it!"
"Why? Do you want it to be real?"
I groan, "STOOOP!! You're driving me insane!!"
"You know I won't. Right?"
~
I continued walking to the benches, Mire saw me coming, Rom has her back turned.
"What took you so long?" Mire asks loudly for me to hear with the quite distance between us.
I put my eyes to the side, telling her I'm not alone.
Rom turns around to see who Mire's talking to.
~
As we got close to the both of them, their jaws dropped.
"Hi." He says with glimmering smile.
"W-Who are you?" Mire asks, "Wait, is he your—"
"AH! N-No no! He is—"
"Yes. Actually yes. I am her boyfriend."
"What?! Since when?!"
"A couple of weeks ago."
"And you didn't even tell us Era?"
"N-No! He's not my boyfriend!"
He did not fight anymore, he winks at them with a whisper, "She's amazing."
I looked at him with burning eyes.
I put my bag down and sat, Rom's not talking and still in her shocked moment.
"I'm Shawn Mendes by the way." He says as he sits besides me.
"Mire, pleasure to meet my best friend's boyfriend. And this right here's Rom."
"It's so nice to finally meet you guys. Jaera's told me so much about you."
"Like?"
"Oh, uh.. like you two are the most amazing person she's ever known."
~
I noticed how Rom's been quiet all this time, "Rom? You alright?"
Rom stares at me, she gulps, "Can I talk to the three of you? Alone?"
"Sure." I said.
Shawn's still sitting beside me, unbreakable though Rom said she wanted to talk to only me and Mire.
I glare at Shawn and he raised a brow at me, "Yes love cake?"
"Rom said she wanted to talk."
"Huh? Why does she need my permission?"
"Alone."
"Oh," he chuckles, "Sorry love cake."
