" Damn, His family house is so big. There's a swimming pool and a wide space backyard? You can play soccer there. " I said.
" Shh, I'm trying to call them. " Ashley press the doorbell button again and again. Still no answer from the inside.
" Maybe it's a true fact that he's family went overseas. "
" What about his sister "
" He told me that his sister staying in hostel for 6 months. "
" So that means, Nodochi is all alone by himself? "
I sighed. " Then what? "
" Maybe.. Nodochi also went to overseas with her parents without telling us? " A briliant words came out from Ashley's mouth. Her arm cross while lean against the house gate.
" Impossible. Nodochi will atleast leave a note or a quick message before he took off. Think carefully, Ashley. " I replied.
" Seriously? How do you get his number? "
" He just gave me when we were camping. " I approach the walls, it shows a number of 5. " Do you want his phone numbers? "
" Eh?! O-of course! " She shocked for a second.
Hopefully Nodochi won't get mad for giving his phone numbers to the person that he mostly want to avoid. Nodochi usually get mad when someone brings his past in school, since Ashley is his past childhood friend, or ' EX '. There is one day that he went berserk after someone brings his past about he confess to a girl but the girl rejected him. He throws chairs and dust bin at him.
" Oh sorry, I forgot to bring my phone. Hold on a second. " I open the zip bag, searching my notebook that I use to draw doodles in it in class whenever I'm bored.
' Eh? It's not here? Maybe it stick to other textbook. ', I flicked the textbooks, there is nowhere to be found.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
" Sorry, Ashley. I think I left it under my desk. "
" Hmm.. You forgot to bring a phone and now you left you're notebook? Such a carefree person. " She mock.
" I'm not like that, in fact! "
" Then, I should be going first. Make sure you play Era Orbit Online on 9 pm. "
" Since when you register you're ID card? " I ask.
" Remember when I met Nodochi at the train station? After that happen, there's a game store nearby. "
" I never knew that you play online game. "
" It's fun, ya know? " She sit on the bicycle sit, testing the pedals. " Then, I'll be off! " She paddle away.
I looked at Nodochi's house, smiling. " Where are you, Nodochi? "
I ride my bicycle, heading to the school. As I think about it again, I remembered that Nodochi used to have 3 closest friends that he usually hanging out talk about game. Ben, Rachel and Jin.. If I'm correct. Maybe I can ask three of them about Nodochi.
I've arrived at the front gate. As I walk in, I saw a person who is running circle at the track field. I can't see well because it's too far. Maybe it's James. Every evening, he has running practice among his friends, but today he practicing alone.
I walk until reach the bicycle parking spot. The bicycle parking place is near the field.
" Wooii! " I shout while waving at James.
He noticed a moment, then he run towards my direction. " What is up? Dell? "
With a sweat on his face and neck, I start to get disgust. " Umm.. Do you know about Nodochi? "
" Nodochi? Oh the dissapeared student, right? No sorry. "
" Ohh.. One more thing, have you ever heard Era Orbit Online? " I ask.
" Hmm.. The Fantasy with playable roles, right? "
" Yeah. "
" Yeah, I do. But do not tell anybody. Why do you ask? "
" Oh, well.. I heard there's a huge update in Era Orbit Online at 9. Wanna pair up? "
" Yes! "
" Then make sure online on 9! " I said. He showed a ' good thumb sign '. Crap, I almost forgot that I'm here to take my notebook. I climb the school stairs, a dusty one. Hoping there's no one here or I'll get caught by fake accuse. I walk slowly in the school hall, looking 360 degree sharp at everything.
' Class Purple '
Just grab the book and leave! That's what my mind said. I opened the door, there's a person who lean against the window. It's a guy. He turn his view over me, with a tears.
' Why did this guy crying? Wait, isn't this.. Peter? '
