"I'm so sorry you had to hear that", muttered Jasmine to Florida. It skipped her mind earlier when she said that in front of Rida. She knew she shouldn't even had said that. Drew would be so hurt,sad and devastated by now. He trusted her with his secret and she couldn't even keep it. Such a bad best friend she is.

"It's fine Jas." Florida said and then tears streamed down her face

"It's fine,Rida. Everything will be fine and I'm so sorry", Jasmine said while hugging the crying Florida. It wasn't a new thing cause almost everyone knew Rida likes Drew but Drew,maybe he's blind or just decided to be behave oblivion. They all grew up together and knowing each others secret wasn't new but Drew's secret;he told only Jasmine. She has always been his confidant. The only one he could tell a big secret to.

"Who's she?" Florida asked.

""Who's who?" mumbled Jasmine

"The one Drew's crushing on."

"I can't say her name Rida, I can't and I'm sorry!" said Jasmine

Florida smiled and stood up and walked away from Jasmine.

Jasmine went into her class for the next subject. After the bell rang for closing hours,she took her things and walked up to Mimi.

"Mimi,let's go home",said Jas

"Fatimah and I are going to watch the match",Mimi said and took her things and walked ahead.

"We made plans Mimi,or have you forgotten? we are supposed to get novels from *Paps bookshop*",Jasmine said to Mimi. They both made plans already so how could she change it. Only both of them were in art department,so both of them are books lover.

"I can't anymore,I'm going with Fatimah to watch a match. Florida was supposed to. Both of them were supposed cheer for Drew and Hakeem and now Drew ain't playing and Rida ain't attending and I can't let Fatimah cheer her brother alone when she has me", Mimi said

"So that's it Mimi. You are trying to blame me right?" Jasmine said

"You weren't suppose to say that,fine I knew Drew was hiding something but I never expected it to be this. We all know you are Drew's most trusted and sometimes the rest of us wonder if we are truly you guys friends. You can't use ones secret against one. You did this back then and now this!I'm disappointed in you Jasmine",Mimi said

"Fine,I knew I was at fault but I had to retaliate. This isn't the first time you guys make jest on me. I admit that me crushing on a character doesn't make sense but at least you guys shouldnt make fun of me. Whenever you guys do that it hurts,I sometimes think I'm crazy to like a Chinese character so bad." Jasmine said dejectedly

"Aren't you crazy Jasmine",Mimi laughed. "You age mates are busy reading for finals exams and some are crushing on real life person but look at you,Jasmine. Living in a fictional world is something you do. We all have tolerated your shits. Your crazy nonsense. I get tired of you,I just never made it obvious. Ha!how I've always wanted to slap your face whenever you talk about Fu Cheng. Fu Cheng this!Fu Cheng that!all day long,it's Fu Cheng you talk about. You need therapy bestie",Mimi said and walked to Fatimah who was coming near her and they both went for the match.

Jasmine bursted into great laughter and everyone stared at her.

"In my eighteen years of existence,no one has ever said this hurting words to me. Seems like Mimi has always wanted to say them and now she got an opportunity to do so and she said them."

Not going to the bookshop anymore,Jasmine went home. Mama wasn't back neither Papa was,so she took a big bowl of ice-cream and scooped into her mouth and cried.

How hurtful it was when your bestie says she gets tired of you. So there is a big chance that others to gets tired of her.

She took her phone and texted Drew, "I'm sorry I used your secret against you. You don't have to forgive me. I'm just so sorry for saying it in front of the others. If you don't ever want to talk to me,o will understand. It was nice been your friend".

Logging into her I*******m,the author of the story of Fu Cheng updated a sketched photo saying it was Fu Cheng. The picture was pretty to be precised. The designer of the picture did a great job. The author even said a side story was coming out. "How sweet, Can't wait",was what Jasmine said.

Even if the world turns against her,she wouldn't care cause it wasn't their life but hers.

Opening the app,she decided to read Fu Cheng's story again. She likes him and no one can tell her not to. He might not be real but at least he can't leave her like others did. He can't even scold her or complain.

But what if Cheng complains?what if he comes to live after she goes to bed? you know toy story,how those toys came to live at night so maybe,I said maybe the characters come to live also. Ha!such a delusional being. Maybe I should turn my imagination into a novel on w******l?how sweet will that be but nahhh. I want it to be true. I want to get transmigrated into a novel and meet my Fu Cheng.

How nice will it be if I'm a novel character like Cheng. Isn't my imagination too vast. Maybe this was why Mimi said I need a therapist. Should I visit one?

Aishh,it's best I take a nap. I've been thinking too much. My head hurts as hell. Ah!I just wish as I'm going to sleep I should wake up in Fu Cheng's world. The fictional world. I would be so very happy and lord knows I will do everything in my might and power to be Cheng's lover.

"I'm sleepy",Jasmine said while yawning and slept off
