The Cheerful Cold Girl
Chapters 11. Being couple?

"So will you be Sofie's partner?" He asked as if this was a normal thing to say.

Our reactions were both very simple.

"Yahoo!!" Of course we were both very surprised. Which people in the world are not surprised when this happens.

"T-wait Zila, I just met Bastian a few days ago where maybe I could be his partner."

Sofie seemed to refute unable to hold back the shock and her cheeks once again blushed.

"That's right don't decide! Are you our mother."

I didn't say anything weird. Although to be honest this kind of plot if I write a novel then I will make Zilla as if she is a mother and want to match us, it might make sense.

But Zilla is no one, she has no right to decide this.

"Haha. Don't get mad like that dong, it's just a formality."

"What does that mean?" we ask because we are confused.

"Bastian, you should understand Sofie's condition, right?"

I'm nodding.

"Then you know, right, that a lot of people are after Sofie? Sofie's condition paid little attention, she was often followed by bad people, even that happened a few days ago, I realized someone was following Sofie. Shit I don't know who it is, if only I knew." Zilla was seen clenching her hands and angry.

'I'm sorry if a few days ago, it was probably me' I thought to myself, if I told you for sure Zilla would hit me.

"And not only that, there are still many cases of stalking, seduction, temptation, and many other things. Sofie has arguably become the center of attention of criminals, I'm afraid if there is someone who has bad intentions to Sofie. So I decided for you and Sofie to be a couple."

"If someone knew that Sofie had a partner then they would definitely slightly avoid it and surely they would rack their brains before approaching Sofie."

"This is your role Sebastian, you just need to always be on Sofie's side! With that Sofie can be safer from the stares of criminals and will avoid such actions.."

"You don't have to be a couple, just pretend it's okay, as long as Sofie is always there with you then she can be safer." Zila explained at length.

What he said made a lot of sense, but that teasing look and smile bothered me. Does he really want to protect Sofie from the stares of criminals? Or just want to play us? Who knew that answer, but Zilla's smile was suspicious.

Ignore about it. I realized that Sofie was already short and silent.

"Huh. You might be right, if I was close to Sofie then she could be better protected from the stares of criminals, but what about Sofie? Does he want to be with me? Although this is just pretend, but I don't want to do it unilaterally!"

I said the thing that made my heart wander. It doesn't really matter if I have to be a pretend couple for Sofie, even if it's real I want to.

Hearing my explanation, Zilla laughed. "Let's see Sofie's expression, maybe you'll know the answer."

Following the advice from Zilla, I looked at Sofie who was sitting next to me. He looked down and froze, he pulled my clothes as if he was attracting attention.

"K-if with Sebastian I don't mind." He replied with a shy blush and a little stammered.

"Show! hehe." Zilla laughed again.

Cred**

The bell rings as a bunch that the break has ended. We decided to stop eating and go back to class to continue the lesson. Because of Zilla's class at B then we split up. My class is A.

As usual I sat and watched the lesson until it turned into the afternoon. Right it's time to go home.

Before I went home I said a few sentences to Sofie because she would be as angry as yesterday when I ignored her, really a troublesome girl, but on the other hand it became a cute part.

I picked up the bag and was about to go home, but I suddenly remembered Zilla's words this afternoon.

"Then you know, right, that a lot of people are after Sofie? Sofie's condition pays little attention, she is often stalked by bad people."

And of course that person is not a good thing, maybe a stalker, or it could be...

"Curtain!" I fizzed, for fear of my own thoughts.

"What's wrong?" asked Sofie who was still sitting in the classroom seat.

I didn't respond too much.

'That's right, it would be very dangerous for Sofie to be alone, what happens when something bad happens to her. What Zilla said was right, I have to protect this holy girl.'

I walked towards Sofie, this girl looking at me with a confused look. But I don't care, I'm stepping closer. In this situation I know what to do.

"Let's go home!" my spoken.

Sofie looked surprised for a while and she finally smiled. "Of course."

......................

We both walked towards Sofie's house. I've driven him home about 3 three times, I've memorized his directions.

Sofie and I kept talking and joking, but to be honest my focus was shifted to something else. That is the gaze of the person who is heading towards us, not more precisely the many gazes that are staring at Sofie.

Jadu.. I understand what Zilla means, if Sofie herself can be dangerous. Along the way I also had time to stare at about two quite suspicious people wandering around near us.

But those two people are now definitely missing because of my existence. I'm a little proud of this, if only today I hadn't taken Sofie home, maybe something bad would have happened.

I am grateful to have brought him home today.

But I still don't fit in with any of this.

"This Sophie is about Zilla's words." I opened my mouth.

Sofie who was smiling suddenly kept silent and stopped stepping. "Yes, what's wrong with that?"

"Are you really okay. Being a pretend couple. It's for your safety I agree with Zilla's opinion, but don't you feel disgusted by me?"

Sofie fell silent, she gritted her teeth. His face was a little angry. "Why are you still asking about that?!"

"Because I don't suit you! Starting today for your safety. I will always be by your side. Performing the role of a fake couple and protecting you, but is Sofie really not uncomfortable with my existence? That's what I want to know." I'm clear at length.

I don't know for what reason Sofie slapped me, a little tear running down.

"Don't say that again! Suitable or not? That kind of thing who cares. I'm glad when Sebastian is by my side that's enough! Why is something so simple you don't understand?"

"Or is it.. k.. You feel bothered when dealing with me?" Sofie's eyes are watering.

"Of course not! Are you stupid!" I said in a high tone.

This is really the stupidest question, how could I possibly hate Sofie.

"Then be so quiet and stay by my side, don't say such a pathetic thing!" He yelled.

Without waiting for long Sofie ran to her house that was near. He opened the door and slammed it violently, as if saying that he was emotional.

I sighed looking at Sofie who had entered the house.

"You misunderstood Sofie, where I might hate you, maybe this feeling says otherwise."

I turned around to leave Sofie's house. Today I had a little bit of a fight with him, but I'm a little happy. I managed to stop those two suspicious people and get rid of them.

Only with my whereabouts might I be able to protect Sofie from evil. Right, presets with likes, or something. I'll protect Sofie because it's my job.
