“Eros! Hey Eros Magdayo!”

“Hey Eros, Eris is outside She's calling you Should I let her in? She looks and sounds irritated Did you do so?”

Eros was lying on his bed when his Ate Risa knocked on his door

“I heard her shout Ate, don't let her in I will go out” Eros stood up, scratched his head, wore a pair of slippers, and went down the house “What does that annoying angel need?”

“Oh, are you looking for Eros? Why don't you go inside the house?”

“No need Mr Magdayo” When Eros arrived he saw that Eris was talking to 'the guy who adopted him,' who just came home from work

“Oh, is that it Eros? Why? Let her in, I brought roasted chickens” He said while holding the plastic bag up “Invite her to have dinner with us”

“No need We'regoing out” Eros grabbed Eris’s hand and hurriedly went away

“Eros, wait! What ti to eat?” The man shouted at hi and pulling Eris

”Uy, I want to eat dinner with your fao back to your house!” Eris said while Eros pulled her not knohere they were headed

“You are really a patay-gutoly faced Eris

“Yup! I’utom! Yehey!” She clapped

“Argh! Why did you come to my house? You shouted loudly, there’s a doorbell!”

“Earlier, was it your dad?”

“Do not answer my question with a question”

“Why do you call hidayo? It's too formal; shouldn't you have called him ‘dad’ or 'papa'?”

“He's not my dad, they just adopted me I answered your question, noer my question”

“Ah… What was your question again?”

“Argghhh!” Eros raised his hand and was going to smack Eris but stopped hio to my house?”

Eris sat on the sidewalk, Eros followed suit “You’re in trouble”

“Ha? Why a?”

“Yohanne seery at you”

“Ha? What did I do? “

“He thinks you snatched Gazelle away from him”

“What?”

“You were alith Gazelle and then earlier you left us and he saw you walking out of the school gate with Gazelle What entered in your ave him a suspicious look

“Woah, woah About earlier? That’s nothing! That's just part of my plan!”

“Eh? Plan? What plan? Leche plan2?”

Eros picked a sround and pretended to throw it at Eris “How about I'll throw this to you? A plan for theet close! Gazelle told me her birthday is near, it's the day after tomorrow! So I ith her to chat, I asked her what she likes so that I'll knohat kind of gift she wants! And I even got an invitation for the three of us to go to her birthday party in her house!”

“Really? But why didn't you inforht badly about it”

“Eh, that plan suddenly entered my mind when Gazelle and I talked earlierWhat is Yohanne thinking, just because ere together? Tsk Is it even right to suspect me?” Eros scratched his head

“It's because… Gazelle has a crush on you”

“What ?!”

Eros stepped back because of what Eris said

“I told you, Gazelle has a crush on you She even told Yohanne herself, that's why he juether

“Tsk It's normal that Gazelle will have a crush on me”

“Eh?”

“I'irls will have a crush onnew”

“How arrogant!” She pushed his shoulder

“Why? It’s true! I am really handsoi pose3

Eris kept on pushi+ng hiant”

“But Ero-ero, talk to Yohanne tomorrow He seems mad at you because he thinks that you snatched Gazelle from him”

“But I didn't…”

“Yes, you did not, but he doesn't know it until you clarify it to him It would be a waste Eros Don't allow the opportunity to be wasted”

“Opportunity?”

“Yohanne said, he thought you were his friend He treats you as his friend You now have a friend in your classroom, so I hope you wouldn't waste that friendshi+p Talk to him tomorrow, okay? Please?”

“Come what may”

“Why come what may?”

“Basta4, go home already” Eros stood up and turned his back to Eris

“Hey, as long as you talk to him tomorrow”

“Come whatback home “Go home”

“Hey, you promised” Eris added

Eros didn't look back, he just lifted his hand to wave “Yes, go home”

As Eros instructed her, she went back to the club She was a little tired; her head ached because of the events that happened today She wished that thebetween Eros and Yohanne will be clarified She took a drink fro, she leaned her head on the wall “Hay, what a day”

“You’re back”

“Ay, a gay ghost!” Eris was surprised when Memo suddenly popped at her side

“Hahaha! I’et a drink

“Ah… I’m sorry I was surprised”

“Where have you been? Eros' house?”

“Eh?” She was startled because she did not often talk to Me to her “Ah yes…”

“I think you’re the first woman I’ve seen with Eros? I mean, there were also many women he ith but were ht But you kno I don't see hiht, in fact it see ho or intentionally hurt someone? He seems to have been tamed since you came What are you to him? Who are you?”

“Eh? I’m Eris … his friend “

“Eris? Eris Jane Trinidad, right? “

“Ha? Yes “

“Who is Eris Jane Trinidad?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll tell you a secret …” Memo came closer to her, very close that she almost retreated and leaned over the wall The distance they had was just the glass on her front “I play a gaame”

“H-huame?” Eris felt nervous, she did not knohat to do, and she feels trapped

“Yes, it’s like a norh my pieces are humans I manipulate my pieces and I enjoy it veryis, I can't find anything about you that I can ht; I did some research about you but found none No one seems to know you, and that's very weird I told you my secret, so why don't you tell me yours? Who are you really Eris Jane Trinidad? “

Eris weakly pushed Meet away from him a little bit

“Why should I tell you who I am? Then you would just play with me? Eros and me?Gazelle and Yohanne too?”

Memo was astounded at Eris’ statement

“Wait, how did you know that they are included—”

Eris immediately cut Memo “That Gazelle and Yohanne are included for you to toy and manipulate with? Simple, I dreamt of you I knohat you want to do”

Eris’ dreaave her to be careful of Me Memo wanted to do in their lives, from then on she started to avoid hiel

“How did you know?”

“Unlike you, I do not share lass on the sink and went straight to the second floor to sleep, but she stopped and turned to Memo

“Why are you playing a hua with? Memo Clarkson, be careful You do not know but ahtall your pieces down and you as well “

“I do not know the reason why you’re playing soret it, stop it already It’s a reminder Memo, do not play with the lives of others or else, there may come a time that you are the one who is played with”

Eris turned back and went up towards her room
