The Cheerful Cold Girl
Chapters 2. Auliana Sofie Is Not Silent

I was silent, rather confused. Sofie the popular, calm, and cold girl is now smiling towards me even holding my right hand.

Fortunately, the situation is lonely otherwise many will look at jealousy. I can imagine their jealous looks.

"So how, Sebastian. Do you want to be my friend?"

'The smile was too glare, his cheeks were now slightly blushing and his eyes were somewhat glowing. He's like the comic book characters I usually read'

"Of course why not?"

I replied with a slight stammer, at this close distance I can smell the fragrance from Sofie's long hair. This made my heart almost fall.

"Hurray!!"

Sofie looks so happy, she jumps for joy like a child

'Wait, where is the cold attitude you usually describe? Sofie you're not that person, are you?' thought

I feel so weird. How can anyone calm down like he's acting excited like a child. I mean look, Sofie is now smiling while jumping up in excitement.

Sofie should be a calm, cool, quiet person, and anyone would be swept away by her behavior. Therefore he was called "the unachievable flower"

But, such a person was jumping for joy just because I became friends with him. No one would have thought that a cold person like Sofie could be this happy.

After jumping for joy Sofie walked towards me, she once again stroked my hand with soft fingers.

He did that with a smile on his face.

"W-what are you doing, Sofie?"

Not answering, Sofie still stroked my right hand and then she looked at me with a very cheerful face.

"I thought!"

"Huh?"

I was so confused, he suddenly said something I couldn't understand. What's with this girl?

"Sebastian, you're a writer, right?"

I nodded trying to forget Sofie who was still holding my hand.

"Yes, that's how it is."

"Wow great! I love novels, what do you usually write? Can I read it next time? Ah I like romance stories anyway, if you're private how? Do you like fantasy or something?" This girl kept babbling and excited.

He gave several non-stop statements in a short period of time.

"...."

"Why are you quiet?"

I looked the other way. 'That's because your smile is too glare' I want to say that, but where can it be like that.

"....No, I'm just a little surprised"

"why are you surprised? Did I do something that surprised you? If so, I would like to apologize, but it would be strange to apologize without knowing the reason." asked Sofie, she was still indeed a hand and smiled.

"Huh, forget about that! Can you please let go of your hand?"

I'm not saying anything wrong, a popular girl suddenly behaving like this to me anyone would be shocked and embarrassed.

But it seems this applies to Sofie as well, as if she just realized the same thing she did. Sofie immediately blushed in embarrassment and let go of my hand.

"Sorry, this is because you tried to run away, but I haven't finished talking." Sofie took my hand off she stepped back a little.

"So, how about you. What genre do you like? A fantasy? A romance? And also I want to read the book you wrote!" As if forgetting the embarrassment that Sofie just asked again with a smile.

"Yes.... I'm quite fond of fantasy, but if I had to ask I would prefer Romance and fantasy, those two combinations would be great!"

I speak more calmly now and maybe this time a little excited, because very rarely do I have friends who may be one frequency.

If you say I'm also a little calm although not as bad as Sofie who just usually says "yes" and "no" At least I can still get along normally with my friends. But it's the first time someone is a hobby with me, of course it makes a little excited.

Sofie also looked surprised by my spirit, she chuckled. "I thought you were interesting."

"Originally you know, I've wanted to talk to you like this a long time ago, but since I'm a little shy I'm a little scared when you're a hard-to-approach person, but I'm wrong. You're an interesting person, if I'm with you I think I can do anything without worry and shame."

"I don't know why, but when I'm with you I can be myself without being ashamed." Sofie explained everything at length.

"Sofie, are you shy?"

"?"

"Don't it look like that? I rarely speak because of that shitty nature." Sofie tilted her head in a sign of confusion.

"So that calm, cold, reserved nature is just purely out of shame?" I'm shocked. This is a very surprising fact.

I didn't expect the reason someone like Sofie who was elegant, calm, cool, and washed away it was only because of shame. I and everyone thought that Sofie did have a pure nature from birth, but it turned out to be wrong.

"I just stroked your hand to check it out. Usually if someone looks at me I'll get nervous, but it doesn't seem to apply to you."

"Honestly, when you came and looked at me reading the book, I was surprised to be nervous, but I didn't get anxious when I was with you."

...********...

'This is a little weird? If this is a novel then this plot is a story where Sofie has a connection to me, but this is not a novel. Where maybe the popular girl has feelings for me.' thought Sebastian, the young man was a little confused.

But, she shook her head to let the thought go, she looked back at Sofie who was still smiling. He tried to ask Sofie directly.

"Why can you stay calm with me?" ask Sebastian.

Just one sentence was normal, but Sofie could feel her cheeks had become warm just because of such a question. He turned his face away from Sebastian.

"Maybe it's because I've met you before?" Sofie tries to guess, but isn't too sure.

Sebastian a little surprised, ever met? He was very confident that the meeting with Sofie had just been in her third year, which is now in 3rd grade.

Sebastian's school always changes classes when taking classes, so it can be said that Sebastian had never met Sofie in person before. He only heard the wind.

But this girl said that she had met, of course it made her speechless and confused.

"We've met before? Sorry, but you seem to be wrong. I mean I don't remember ever meeting you."

"....."

"So you forgot, right? Well, it's only natural that it's been a long time." Sofie Mumbles.

But it didn't get to Sebastian, he couldn't hear Sofie more clearly.

"What did you say?" ask Sebastian.

Sofie glanced with lazy eyes, she sighed. Maybe he was a little shocked because Sebastian forgot about it.

"It's nothing maybe I'm just the wrong guy. Because the person I was referring to was so cool, after a second thought it was definitely not Sebastian. I'm so stupid!"

Sofie looks very pouty, her red cheeks are bloated. He was angry that Sebastian had forgotten about himself in the past.

The person Sofie was referring to was none other than Sebastian, but Sofie refused to say this. He thought that it was too soon to discuss it. So he kept the past to himself, at least for now.

"...."

"I'm sorry I'm not cool. You must be disappointed, an ordinary person like me is pathetic."

"That's right, you're pathetic! Not cool!"

'You may forget that day, you are the worst.' Sofie desperately wanted to say that, but was held in her heart.

Sofie was pouting and her cheeks were slightly bloated, perhaps still angry that Sebastian could not remember the day.

While the person in question was even crabbing staring in all directions like a missing person and making sure no one. After that he laughed a little.

He stroked Sofie's head very subtly and smiled looking at her.

"Sorry, don't be mad like that."

Sofie frowns and can't accept the fact that the person who made her emotional is stroking her head and she enjoys it. He brushed his hands and turned his face away.

"Don't touch me like a kitten!" he said with a frown.

"Hahaha, sorry."

Sebastian, this fellow is once again laughing without sin, this foolish young man still thinks that the person Sofie is referring to is not himself.

Sofie's cheeks are more bloated sign she is very angry, but that even makes Sofie more cute. Sebastian couldn't help but stroke Sofie's head.

She once again stroked Sofie's beautiful hair and apologized, this time Sofie pouted no more and nodded her head.

"But I still don't think you're a shy person.. After all, pfft~ shy people can't talk at length like before, right? Do you have any other reason to have become quiet like that?"

Sebastian asked and smiled, he was just a little joking. Because there's no way a popular girl like Sofie has anything tragic.

Because for Sebastian, he's a lucky guy. Unlike her pathetic self and has a past that wants to be forgotten.

Sebastian was once betrayed by people, he was too easy to trust others so easily deceived.

"Yes, I have a reason." With a doubt Sofie answered Sebastian's question. Sebastian's serious expression knew that Sofie wasn't kidding.

Sofie looks a little calmer back to her cold self like she was at first, Sebastian is a little uncomfortable with the nature of it. Maybe he was already comfortable with the cheerful nature of the property.

"nnnn, Sebastian. Do you think being popular is fun?" The girl lowered her head, looking a little moody than usual.

"Of course, why not?" Spontaneous Sebastian answers a question from Sofie, but the answer instead makes Sofie sneak lips.

"No! Being popular is a hassle."
