"Hey! How do I look?" I asked Theo when I got out of the locker room.
Theo removed his gaze from his phone then he looked at me. He stared at me for few more seconds before he spoke.
"You look beautiful. Simple but beautiful." He said with his eyes still on me.
"Really? Thank you!" I said full of joy. "By the way, I'm already hungry can we eat now?" I asked since I can feel my stomach aching.
"Okay. Let's go." He said then we walk towards the cafeteria.
While walking, I can't help but to look at Theo constantly. I want to tell him about my plan. I need him to succeed with it. But I think making him help me would be a hard thing to deal with. I know he's not interested with it.
"Hey." I called Theo then I wrapped my hands around his left elbow.
"hmm?" he asked. He lowered his head and looked at me directly in my eyes. He's close in my face now.
I gasped in surprise and that results for me to just stare at him.
Suddenly I found myself appreciating his handsome face. Oh please Miel stop it. He's you best friend.
"Ah, Nothing." I said then I looked away.
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
"Hey. Wanna go somewhere?" Miel asked Theo when she got inside his car.
Their classes already ended and they were about to go home but Miel wants to tell Theo her plan.
"Ah. Your choice I can go anywhere don't mind me." Theo answered then he started the engine.
Miel smiled at Theo's answer.
"Then good. Come with me. I'll buy a new dress." Miel said that made Theo remember what he said during lunch time.
"Ah yeah. I forgot that I told you that I'm buying you a new dress. We'll go to a mall now---"Theo no need. I'll buy my own dress. I'm just kidding a while ago plus it's not your fault. It's not you who spilled the juice in my dress." Miel interrupted Theo.
Theo look at Miel with his furrowed eyebrows. He's confused of Miel's behavior. It's unlikely for her to decline treats.
Theo just shrugged his shoulder and started the engine and drove towards their destination which is the mall near the school.
Minutes later and they arrived in the Mall. They went inside and look for Miel's favorite shop which is Penshoppe.
"Omg! Look at this crop tops!" Miel exclaimed with excitement.
"I thought you're buying a dress. Why are we here?" Theo asked while roaming his eyes around the shop.
"Just two crop tops and we'll buy a dress later." Miel said while looking at the crop top shirts in front of her.
"Argh I think I should be used to it." Theo whispered.
He's still not used to Miel's new behavior since she really changed so much.
After an hour of shopping, Miel finally asked Theo to eat in a restaurant.
"Finally! I thought you're just gonna go shopping till this Mall reached its closing hour." Theo said as if he was so bored but can't complain.
"Of course, we'll gonna eat! And it's my treat." Miel announced.
"Woah. What's with the sudden good treatment?" Theo asked since Miel always asked him to treat her whenever they're eating outside.
"What? I'm just in the mood to treat you." Miel said while roaming around, looking for a good restaurant where they can eat.
"Want some Italian food?" She asked Theo when she saw an Italian food restaurant.
Theo's brows frowned when he heard Miel's question. He loves Italian food but Miel's favorite is Korean foods.
"Don't you want to eat in a korean food resto? You're the who always deciding for this right?" Theo asked in confusion.
Miel stop from talking, looking for an answer.
"W-what? I'm craving for an Italian food today. Am I not allowed to eat Italian foods?" She asked.
"Not really. It's just that you're acting strange." Theo said then he pushed Miel's back lightly to tell her to walk already and they entered the restaurant.
A staff in that resto helped them find a table. They sat there and look for a good food to eat in the menu that the waiter gave them.
After a minute of looking at the Menu, Theo told the waiter his order. Then he looked at Miel and noticed that she was boredly looking at the Menu as if she doesn't find the dishes attractive.
"Hey." Theo called Miel.
"Huh?" Miel said then she looked at Theo.
"Have you choose your order already?" He asked.
"Ah yeah. I'll get pasta carbonara." Miel answered.
"And?" Theo asked.
"Huh?" Miel asked too.
"That's all? How about pizza?" He asked.
"Ah yeah I want a pizza too. Choose me a good flavor please." Miel said then she simply drink in the glass of water that the waiter gave them a while ago while they're looking for a food to eat in the menu.
While Theo, he told Miel's order to the waiter.
"Please kindly wait for your orders. We'll prepare it now." The waiter said politely so theo thanked him.
When the waiter left, Theo looked at Miel with his serious expression that made Miel concious.
"Tell me, do you want anything from me?" Theo straightforwardly asked Miel.
"H-huh?" Miel laughed unconsciously. "What makes you think that way?" She knew it. Theo will know her agenda. He's her best friend anyway.
"Don't try to deny it. I can read you. You know that." Theo said while looking intently at Miel.
"What is it? It seems to be a big favor that I'm experiencing these unsual good treatments from you." He added.
Miel sighed because she knew she can't deny it.
"Fine. I want you to do me a favor. You're my best friend. You'll do anything to help me right?" Miel asked.
"Yeah. What is it?" Theo asked, still looking at Miel seriously as he can feel that her favor is something that is hard to do.
"I want you to flirt, Ahliya." Miel said.
Theo's face instantly changed when he heard what Miel said.
"What?! Are you joking?" Theo said in disbelief.
"I'm serious, Theo." Miel said then she looked at him seriously.
"What for? You know I hate doing that shit. I'm not interested in flirting you know that." Theo said and he obviously disagree with what Miel want him to do.
Miel's expression suddenly changed. She didn't like how Theo reacted with her favor.
"You know what they did to me, Theo. Don't you want to help me? They destroyed me! I want to do the same thing to them. Is it bad? I just want them to feel what I felt so they will learn that what they did is unacceptable." Miel said with her watery eyes but still keeping herself to look strong.
Theo saw pain in Miel's eyes and in that moment, his anger arise. He doesn't want to see Miel like that again.
"She doesn't deserve this pain." He said in his mind.
Theo sighed and changed his mind.
"Is that all that I need to do?" He said which enlightened Miel's face.
"So you're on it?" She asked full of hope.
"As if I can say no." Theo said. "What is exactly your plan? Tell me so I can do my part perfectly." He asked.
"I'll tear them apart. You'll flirt Ahliya since I can see that she adore you. Make her fall for you till he leave Matthew for you and that's when you'll tell her that she's just a friend for you." Miel explained.
"Hmmm. Sounds painful. How about you? What are you gonna do?" Theo asked.
"Well, I'll show Matthew what he wasted." Miel answered.
"By what?" He asked with his serious expression, afraid that Miel will fall for that guy again.
"What else I can do? Of course I'll flirt him but will play hard to get till he realize how fool he is by doing all of his shits on me. But I'm not going to accept him again. Never again." Miel said with her eyes full of vengeance.
