My Childhood Friend

Chapter 2: Run Some Errands

Me and Glitch went downstairs and my mother smiled at me sweetly and I know that she knew that my best friend was coming back without telling me. Glitch sat beside me as we both eat together while my mother left to talk to my best friend's mom.

We haven't spoken for a while and after I put my dishes in the sink, Glitch jumped on the sofa beside me and stared at my eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Glitch asked inquisitively while smirking.

I looked at my best friend's green eyes and smiled which made him raise his eyebrow.

"What?" he asked again. He breathed deeply when I didn't answer back. I'm just looking at him. "Don't tell me I came here for nothing?" He added.

My eyes widened upon hearing what he just said, "What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

He rested his back on the sofa and put his hands behind his head and glanced back at me, "I want to spend my summer here to see you, (Y/n)…"

My heartbeat stopped for a second and I blinked twice. I laughed out loud to cover what I'm feeling, like I always do. Glitch got curious and he stood and pulled me up. He dragged me outside and I really have any choice but to follow. We both went outside and Glitch yelled to his mom that we were going to take a walk.

"He- hey!" I shouted but he's still dragging me to wherever he's going. He looked back and saw that both of our moms were not looking. He released my hands and I gave him a furious face.

"You don't have to drag me outside!" I yelled and he glared at me.

"Did you just glare at me?" I asked furiously and he pinched my nose with a grin.

My anger suddenly faded when he smiled and saw his green eyes glowed. I looked down and we both started to walk around the neighborhood.

"So…" Glitch said breaking the silence, "what have you been doing while I'm gone?" he added.

I put my hands behind me while walking. "Nothing really…" I said simply and he looked at me curiously and became concerned.

"In school?" he asked.

"I… really… don't… kinda… join any school activities…" I said bashfully and Glitch sighed and stopped. I passed him a few steps and I swerved to look at him.

"Shy as always?" He said and brushed my (length/color) hair.

We both sat on the bench nearby and he didn't let his eyes off me. I looked away from my best friend and I glanced at him when he touched my hands. Glitch looked at me while shaking his head with a grin on his round pale-ish face.

"I know you…" he said cordially, "You're very talented, I just don't show It. Why are you hiding?" he added. I looked down and my cheeks turned deep red while looking at Glitch's hand holding mine.

"I'm not…" I said shyly, "You're the talented one." I added.

Glitch laughed and touched my face with his both hands, "Between us, who's always beating me up when we play badminton? Who's the one who can paint, draw and sketch fantastically? Who's the one singing with the radio with beautiful voice? Who run the fastest when we were at the elementary level? Who can play the piano?" He said candidly while looking at me.

I blushed when Glitch said all that. "Don't hide yourself." He added. Suddenly the rain pours down and we both looked up and glanced at each other and smiled.

We both ran under the rain and Glitch sometimes kicks a small pond of water towards me and I did the same. Me and my best friend ran back home, soaked in the rain, and laughed at each when both of our mother saw me and Glitch wet.

I went back to my own house and Glitch did the same to clean ourselves. After The young protégé cleaned himself, he went straight to my house.

"So… what's my mentor's name again? I asked while Glitch's brushing his hair in front of the mirror.

"Oh… His name is Moses but I call him Mo." He said without looking at me.

I stood next to him and looked at him weirdly and gave a peculiar smile. He looked at me with his brow raised. Glitch looked at me from head to foot and got irritated when I gave him a small laugh.

"What?" He asked angrily and looked at himself in the mirror, "Nothing's wrong with me. What are you-"

Then he noticed when I looked at him from head to foot, "You're comparing our height aren't you?!"

He shouted frantically and crossed his arms. I plucked my lips and my eyes were looking at different directions except for Glitch.

"No I'm not…" I said innocently and sat on my bed still not looking at my best friend.

"Oh I know that look, missy!" He said dreadfully angry and stood in front of me.

I lay back on my bed and covered my eyes to avoid seeing my best friend's angry, yet cute, face. He removed my hands forcefully and I blushed when I noticed that he's on top of me.

"You're blushing again!" He said mocking me and I pushed him and covered my face with my pillow. My best friend was laughing while he lay beside me trying to snatch the pillow.

"You'll see, I will be taller that you!" he added, "Just like when you were seven and I was nine."

I hit Glitch with my pillow and he knew that I'm going to do that so he grabbed it quickly. I sat up but he pulled me back and gripped my hands against my bed.

"I used to beat you up saying I'm taller than you, remember?" he said with a weird smile and I smirked at him.

"Do I know what I remember?" I said serenely and Glitch looked up thinking about something.

"What?" he asked curiously and can't remember any. My lips twisted into a rare smile and he raised his eyebrow at me, looked confused.

"Oh… let me see… We were playing truth or dare and I dared you to kiss me." I said palyfully and my best friend's Asian colored skin became crimson red when he remembered what I said.

"And you know what you did?" I added. Glitch backed away and I sat up with an evil grin.

"Ha! You're blushing!" I shouted with delight and the Asian boy pointed at me furiously.

"We're just kids!" He yelled but I covered my ears while making irritating sound to myself.

"That's it!" he added. Glitch walked towards me and he covered my loud, distracting mouth.

"One more word about it and I will definitely, going to do IT." He said giving me a warning. I know Glitch. He will really do it if I don't stop mocking him. I nodded nervously and he removed his hands off my mouth.

Suddenly, his phone rang and his mom needs him back home. He looked at me with his bright green eyes and said, "Gotta bounce, (Y/n). See I tomorrow."

He closed my door and opened it again. "Oh, I almost forgot we're going somewhere tomorrow and we'll leave about ten. See yah." He said in a hurry and I heard him running down the stairs and said goodbye to my mom.

I wiped my face and sat on the couch thinking about the dare between me and Glitch, "You got scared and ran when you tried." I muttered and laughed to myself.
