Anxiety

"D- don't bother me...!" I shouted over and over again.

"Anka, calm down, the film is over," said Clara, trying to calm me down, who was still scared even though the film had finished.

"That was really scary, Bryan... I was scared!" I shouted while sobbing.

"Why didn't you invite him earlier?" Edward asked.

"No, we had a big fight last night."

"Who is Bryan?" Jack asked.

"Anka's lover," answered Sully.

"Not Bryan's friends-"

"Come on Anka, don't be shy,
We already know!" said Kimberly.

"Oh my... up to you guys."

"So you already have a girlfriend, Anka?" Jack asked.

"Yes, and they live in the same house, you know..." answered Jimmy.

"No... no, that's not it, you guys always come to your own conclusions without listening to my explanation first."

"What else do you want to explain, Anka? Bryan himself has admitted it, he himself said that you two live in the same house, often sleep together and bathe together. Wow... wow... what a couple that shocked the whole school," said Edward.

"Bryan is lying..." I shouted in annoyance.

"You don't want to admit it because you're afraid the other girls will bully you, right?" Sully asked, cornering me even more in front of Jack. I couldn't move at that time.

"What kind of person is Bryan?" Jack asked.

"Wow... don't ask any more questions. He's super cool. His face is handsome and shining, he's tall and has an athletic body shape. He's also good at sports, good at playing music and good at singing..." explained Sully.

"Yeah, he's also great at school. He's a cool person but kind. Anyway, there's no end to talking about him..." continued Kimberly.

"You guys are exaggerating, ah? But it's true!" said Edward.

"That great, huh?" Jack asked.

"Yes, that's how it is..." answered Edward.

"Never mind guys, it's better now if we look for food first. My stomach is hungry," suggested Jimmy.

"Yeah, I'm hungry too. How about we just eat a burger. I know where there is a burger that tastes really delicious, you'll definitely be addicted to eating it," said Edward.

"Come on...! Jack, do you want to come?" I asked.
"That's fine too. How about just taking my car?"

"You brought a car? Sully asked.
"Yeah, I left it at my friend's house, not far from here."

"You said earlier that you didn't have any acquaintances in London?" Clara asked.

"I have but not many, besides they are always busy."

"I agree, it's fun to ride a car," said Kimberly.

On the way, Jack got to know us better. He is very kind and likes to laugh. He told me a lot about his life in Germany.

"Oh yes, Jack, you said that later you would go to your father's high school. What is the name of the school?" Sully asked.

"James Carter High School," he answered
"What? Is that our school?" said Sully in surprise.

"Really? Does that mean we'll go to the same school, right?"

"Wow... Jack, at school you definitely wouldn't want to be close to us," said Sully.

"Why?"

"In our school, this is the most hated group of losers," answered Edward.

"Why is that?"

"We don't know either, what is clear is that all the students at that school don't like us. Some say we are stupid, not cool and poor," answered Sully.

"Didn't you say that Bryan is very popular at school?"

"Yes, but he's not in our group. We don't know which way he's more pro? Popular people think that Bryan only belongs to famous people, while Bryan's girlfriend is in a group with losers," continued Kimberly.

"It's strange, isn't it? Even though there are very beautiful girls here?"

"Really who? It must be me, right?" Kimberly asked excitedly.

"You? That's delicious, the most beautiful in our group, isn't Clara," answered Edward.

"Wow... wow... you are being selective, because you like Clara, right? asked Kimberly.

"Ah... no... it's not like that, we're all friends. I'm just stating my opinion," answered Edward with his face starting to turn red.

"Wow... Edward's face is red, he's embarrassed, isn't he? Hahaha..." Sully teased, cornering Edward.

"Stop Sully!" shouted Edward annoyed.

"Hahaha... never mind Ed, don't be so shy? We all know that, right?" said Jimmy while giggling.

"Never mind, friends, you are very naughty," said Clara.

"Okay, beautiful Teacher Clara, hahaha!!!!" they said while laughing out loud.

Time passed very quickly. It didn't feel like it was getting dark. I had to go home, because Bryan would be angry, especially since I didn't bring my cellphone.

"Thank you for taking me," I said as I got out of Jack's car. The other friends had already been taken first.

"Yeah, good night, Anka?" said Jack as he drove his car.

"Goodnight Jack," I replied.

I walked towards the door of my house. I saw that the lights had been turned off even though it was still 9 pm, this is not usual. Is Dad at home, huh? I whispered to myself. I walked slowly, I opened the door and looked around me, I don't usually come home until late at night.

I turned on the living room light, I saw Aunt Marry asleep on the sofa. He must be waiting for me.

"Aunt Marry, come on, get up!" I said while gently shaking his body.

"Are you home, Miss?" Aunt Marry answered while rubbing her eyes.

"I'm sorry Auntie, where is Bryan?"
