EternalVerse Saga

My Friends Teased Me All Time!

After a tedious history class. Alex walks out of the room in annoyance. He hates being present in front of the class. He had to present the history of Rome in half an hour. Moreover, Mr. Kim gave his gaze as if trying to catch the mistake. Fortunately, he had some knowledge of the period of Rome. Whether it's from a manga or a video game. Those things allowed him to survive and make him speak and present without any problems. He's still silly with Penelope for opening war with him. He must find a way to get her back somehow.

His friend walked towards him standing in the corner of the hallway. They have been friends since the seventh grade. They are always going anywhere. Their relationship falls under the category of close friends. They all belong to the fighter club now, the reason is probably because of the opportunity to show off the girls in a teenage style. But they never gave up on the sport they loved. They have been involved in many tournaments. After every victory, they would hang out at the bar behind the college. Josh and Ivan carry his drunk friend back to the dorm every time. They had a lot of fun together. Sometimes they will also take the girls back to their rooms.

"Wow! Look at our survivor." Ivan teased him first.

Ivan Bakalov is a Bulgarian. He and his family moved to America twelve years ago. He is handsome in the Bulgarian way. crew cut black hair and a square-shaped face with black eyes, which is perfect for him. He wants to carry on his dream from his older brother who was one of the best rugby football in the college. Most of his after-school life was not going to the gym, practicing throwing the rugby ball with all his might. He will go to the bar. He's a saucy person. No wonder he's Alex's best friend like Josh.

He has now turned his attention to boxing after attending a tournament when freshman that was held secretly behind a university stadium. His fighting technique is quite strange for Alex. He usually uses only tackles to grab his opponents by the legs first. If he doesn't, he can't stand guard for more than a minute, just like in rugby since he was in high school. Even though it's weird, Alex still thinks it's pretty cool.

"Ah! Give me a break!" Alex said.

"Hehe. You're so cool to survive this boring class." Josh said.

Josh Wilson is a good figure and a handsome look. Cropped brown hair and charming smiles. He is the second hottest person from Alex. He's always flirting with different girls. He's a sweet-talker. His charm is the blinking of his black right eye. No wonder there were girls around him. But no matter what, he is one of Alex's best friends, dare to say the closest him in the group.

On the other hand, he has never been in a serious relationship. Alex knows that this guy has had a crush on Abby since high school. But maybe it's because he was too obsessed with baseball, unlike Abby who is very social and surrounded by only men. Maybe that was the reason why he was trying to cover his insecurities.

"Because of that Bitch! I almost got my homework added. Fortunately, I still know a little bit about Rome." Alex is mentioned to Penelope.

"Whoa! Easy, man. At least you impressed her. Hehe," Ryan smiled mischievously.

Ryan Jones is a thin man. His looks were the most ordinary and drab of Alex's group. Shag black hair, Black eyes on a round face, and a few acne scars. He's ordinary and unpopular. On the other hand, he was a nerd who took first place in a science quiz competition during high school. But there is one thing that he is equally passionate about, running athlete.

At first, Alex didn't like the guy very much. When they were in third grade, Ryan was a troublemaker. He often acts in a way that contradicts his skinny body. But as they got to know each other seriously and Ryan himself started to change after he was in the sixth grade for reasons he never revealed, he became Alex's friend in a strange way from then on, but they are still friends to this day.

"What the heck are you saying, Ryan?" Alex doesn't understand or he pretends not to understand.

"Can't you see that she likes you?" Josh said.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Alex said seriously.

"You must be blind. No, I have to say that you have to pretend to be blind. Think about it. Why does she always like to tease you? Because she wants your attention." Ryan explained.

"What the hell is that for that dumb reason?! It doesn't make any sense. You know that I and her have been against each other since time immemorial." Alex furrowed his brows.

"Everyone could see that she liked you. Her face looks happy whenever she pranked you." Ivan said.

"BRUH!" Alex rolls his eyes.

"This idiot must have pretended to forget in the sixth grade. hehe." Josh said.

"oh my...How could I forget?" Ivan chuckles.

"That's right. Hehe," Ryan giggles.

"The past is past! Back then we were just kids. Maybe we can be thoughtless at times. She might just be confused. Uhm...me too." Alex tried to come up with an excuse to explain. But it seems that his friends always catch up with him.

"But she likes you. Everyone knows." Ryan said.

"Yeah...Even Elizabeth whom you like still knows it. haha!" Ivan said.

"You guys have lost your mind!" Alex didn't even know what to say next.

"Why? Are you afraid that she likes you still now?" Josh grinned and leaned closer to him as if trying to force the truth. His friends were staring suspiciously as well.

"Nonsense! That's not TRUE!" Alex rejected. But his cheeks turned red.

"Awww! Someone has already accepted it." Ivan chuckles.

"I'm not accepting!" Alex still blushes.

"I think you should give her a chance." Ryan supported. "She's not a bad person at all. Even though she seems weirdly quiet and a little introverted."

"No! She is Julia's daughter and I love and respect her like a real mother." Alex insisted.

"But Julia is not your biological mother. There's nothing wrong with trying to date her daughter. Oh! Or if Penelope wasn't the daughter of Julia, whom you respected as your real mother. You're officially going on a date with her, right?" Ivan smiled like a villain and gave him a wink once.

"for god's sake! Someone get me out of here, Please!" Alex can't keep the symptoms.

"HAH! He finally accepted!" Josh was glad to be able to catch his friend's dubiousness.

"BRAVO!" Everyone shouted excitedly.

Alex rolls his eyes again. He didn't answer anything. He chose to remain silent in embarrassment, unlike his friends who still felt hilarious, It was normal for him to not be used to his friend's deadpan humor.

Something unexpected happened now. Penelope walked out of the classroom at exactly the right time. She saw Alex and his friend standing in the corner of the building. So she walked in hoping to ridicule him.

"Hello, perv!" She greeted Alex.

"O-MY FUCKING GOD!" Alex swears the word in his mind.

"Hey, your child's mother greets you." Josh giggles after teasing him. Ivan and Ryan too.

"Silence, Josh!" Alex said.

"What are you guys laughing at?" Penelope wondered.

"Nope, Penny. Alex would like to greet you too. But he's embarrassed now." Josh replied smilingly.

"Huh? Perv boy have some new love?" Penelope folded her arms and furrowed her brows. She gave him a sassy gaze.

"Yeah! Definitely..." Josh and Ivan tried to hold back their laughter.

"How are you, perv? Do you want to take revenge on me now?" Penelope provoked.

"I think she must have greeted him wrongly. She must say, love, not perv. hehe." Josh secretly whispered to Ryan and Ivan. It makes them secretly giggle lightly.

"I agreed," Ryan said whispered.

"Me too," Ivan whispered giggling.

"Please, Pe. Not right now." He seemed to be feeling something. He tried to avoid her gaze.

"What? Have you given up? Why are you so weak?" She insulted.

"Please! Don't mess with me, Pe."

"Why, perv?"

"You...You don't understand the situation right now."

"What situation, loser?"

"Hey, Penny. I think you shouldn't be asking questions like that. Right now, this fella is secretly in love with someone in front of him. Give him some time. Hehe," Josh smiled mischievously while holding his laughter at the same time.

"Huh! W-What do you mean?!" She began to feel nervous when she heard that. Because she was standing right in front of him.

"This guy doesn't want you to be called loser or perv. He wants you to be called lover or love instead. Hahahaha!" As soon as Ryan finished speaking. He and his friends exploded with laughter.

"WHAT THE FUCK are your guys talking about?!" Alex startled. He blushed until his face turned red.

Penelope was blushing too. She stood still, speechless, and didn't act right.

"AH! I'd fucked up," Alex said in his mind and hold his head with his hand.

"Is it true, Alex?" Josh never stop teased and smiling.

"For god sake! I swear I'll kill you guys right now!" Alex tried to sound like he was angry. But he couldn't keep his shyness away.

"Uhm...I thought I'd better go." Penelope hurriedly left with her expression still embarrassed.

"Bitc...Uhm...Pe! Hey! You're misunderstanding!" He tried to call her. But she refused to turn around.

Alex turned around to his friend in frustration. "What the hell are you guys doing?!"

They looked at each other with smiles like exploded with laughter again.

"GOD DAMMIT! You guys are acting like middle schoolers!" Alex was both annoyed and embarrassed. As for his friends crack him up.
