"...but seriously, nicole... Do you like him?" emma's words from afew days ago echoes through my mind. "Me... And mark... Mark... And me?..." I repeated to myself over and over like a broken radio. "Thats impossible! I dont even know him nor have i even talked to him!" I blurted out in frustration I flopped down onto my bed, burying my face onto my pillow. "Even so..." Bu-dum, bu-dum, bu-dum "Why are you beating so loudly?..." I whispered to myself, clenching my chest tightly ... "Ugh... My head feels like its gonna explode..." I silently muttered while my head is rested onto my desk "Let me guess, You stayed up all night again" Emma grinned, trying to suppress her laughter "You look like a panda for god's sake!" "I just didnt get enough sleep because the construction outside my house was too loud..." I lied to emma knowing damn well it wasnt the reason why i couldnt sleep. "Tsk, you and your reasons" emma sat on the floor beside my chair and she rests her head on my thighs "By the way, you gonna come on thursday?" She asked "Huh? Where to? Did we even have plans for thursday?" "cosplay mania duh, its at moa and the entrance is free! Didnt i mention it to you?" She said, raising her eyebrow "Ah right... Cosplay mania..." I suddenly remembered that me and emma planned to attend cosplay mania this year "yeah, ill go" i answered "Nice! My cosplay is already ready! Ill trust you with my make up again, alright?" She smiled at me while staring straight at my eyes "Q-quit staring..." I silently muttered, embarrassed ... Days passes by like a breeze. It was uneventful, me and emma just planned ahead of schedule on what booths we are going to visit. And then, D-day has finally come. "Ughhh! Its sooo hot!!" Emma exclaims while sweating buckets "Thats because you already wore full cosplay" i said while walking beside her, carrying our bag. "The restroom and venue will be crowded, i wont be able to put everything on, let alone even get my make up done." She wipes off her sweat using her handkerchief "Its better to go prepared than sorry" Emma proudly said with a smug grin "You know, you're the only person i know that would complain non-stop, yet still have a bright smile painted on your face" i looked at emma "ofcourse! Im not gonna let this heat destroy my mood and make up!" She said still sweating "Your foundation is already smudged with your eyeliner" i pointed out "H-huh?! Damn it!" Emma quickly took out a small mirror I couldnt help but to stare at emma... Her smile really shows despite the situation she is in... The surroundings was loud, jeep honking, people chattering, even the sound of the train from the distance is heard. But, everything else seems to be muffled whenever emma would speak. She has this certain charm that i cant put my finger on it. ... While we were walking towards Moa, emma's words echoed through my mind again... I dont why but i heard the question again. I suddenly thought about mark and if i truly like him or if im just interested about him. We never talked nor even interacted, so i dont even know why im feeling like this "Nicole?" Emma calls out, pulling me back into reality "Huy?" Emma calls out again "nicole! You're zoning out again!" She pouts "H-huh? I-i was not!" I countered with a forced smile "Tsk! I already had my suspicious! You were so quiet the whole time!" she adjusted her wig then glared at me again "You're thinking about mark again, arent you?" "Huh?! What?! No!! Are you crazy?!" i tried to deny her words, but i could already feel my cheeks burning up. "Whatever you say" she replied with a sarcastic tone and a suspicious smile I sighed in defeat "im not joking emma, i dont... Really like him, i dont even know him other than his name!" "Then get to know him!" Emma said while letting out a soft giggle "who knows, he might even be your personal photographer one day" "Huh?" Photographer? Where did that came from? I thought to myself "If i recall correctly, mark is part of the Standard, you know, t
