"Please pick me up, yesterday I promised to stay at your house." What about this? I'm really starting to hate it.

"No, I'm still at the dentist." At that time I sat in front of my house and made it seem as if I was on the side of the road. At that time I had just finished the task the lecturer gave, college students would understand what I was going through, during a pandemic like this, doing the task was difficult, especially the lecturer did not send the module separately, so I had to search for material on google and read it carefully. "Ask your boyfriend to drive you here." That's the best suggestion, in my opinion, they're dating and it's only natural for a man to take his girlfriend home.

"No, poor him, he's been with me all night and rubbed my head until morning."

Pity, she said?! Really, this is so absurd that she said that!! I'm a girl, I'm not even 23 years old, and I haven't got my bachelor's degree yet!! Moreover, the housing I live in is scary; no lights and quiet. And she doesn't feel sorry for me? And my dad won't let me go. "Then stay there and come back to your house tomorrow." I am annoyed!! After that, the call ends.

I held back my anger, until midnight but then I told my sister about it. She asked for my cell phone and started fighting with my friend. In the morning I apologized for my impolite language, but after that, I regretted my actions. Why am I so stupid?!

Three days later, at seven o'clock in the morning I got a message from a foreign number, I answered it without thinking, and it turned out to be my friend's mother. On that day, she told her parents she wanted to play at my house with the excuse of studying and bringing a laptop as a tool, but in fact, she went to sell her laptop without only coming to my house. Extraordinary!!

She arrived at half-past six in the afternoon, by that time the rain had just stopped and she asked me to take her to the convenience store to make a payment for the birthday cake she ordered for her boyfriend who was having a birthday. "You sold your laptop? How much did you get?" I asked after we got back from paying for the cake.

"I'm not selling it, I'm just pawning it." But before I asked that, she told me that she just got paid, and she didn't work.

"How many?"

"Five hundred thousand rupiahs." After she answered that, she took out the money and counted it, and the remaining 150 thousand rupiahs. "Come on, take me to the place yesterday, I'll give you the fare later." It was seven o'clock after we bought the candles.

"I can't, my lectures have started and tomorrow I have a busy schedule." I emphatically refused, my father wouldn't like it either and wouldn't allow me to leave the house.
