Love Diary

Chapter 12 The Handsome Cool Guy, John - Part Two

"Hi, John."

Hearing a girl calling his name, combine with the music in his ear, John, who was sitting on the shortest

parallel bars on the comprehensive playground with his eyes closed and listening to music, opened his

eyes coldly. He felt a little strange. He had already found such a remote place to stay. How could there

be a girl who wasn't aware of his intention?

As he thought of this, he met the eyes of the person, he could not help but be stunned. This was not

like the eyes of the previous admirers. There was curiosity, excitement, and even a little scrutiny in this

pair of eyes, but there was no infatuation or admiration at all.

But even so, that was not the reason for him to change his attitude. Therefore, as usual, he looked at

the person coldly without saying anything.

"Can we have a talk?" Clare pointed at her ears, hinting the man to take off the earphones.

"You got something to tell me?" John didn't move but asked coldly. He was not curious, nor was he

interested in the purpose of the girl opposite him. To be exact, he didn't like troubles. But beautiful girls

were always troublesome. Of course, there would be exceptions, but that was not the person in front of

him, at least not for the time being.

Clare nodded seriously, "Yes." She reached out her hand and smiled friendly. "Let me introduce myself.

My name is Clare, a new comer."

Clare...

There was a slight change in John's expression. He had heard of this name since it appeared

frequently in the school recently. But it was also because of this that John confirmed Clare as a

troublesome representative almost without hesitation.

So he didn't hold Clare's hands, but just pulled his ear and said rudely, "What do you want to say? Go

ahead and say it."

Clare smiled helplessly and withdrew her hand. Recently, she seemed to encounter setbacks

constantly. Carl and John had almost ruined her confidence. Fortunately, she was tough enough to

recover soon.

"Can I sit down and tell you?" She pointed at the single bar where John was sitting.

John looked at her and then at her school dress, "... Whatever."

Clare expressed her thanks with satisfaction. She slightly pressed the hemline of her school uniform

with one hand, and put the other hand on one of the parallel bars. With a skillful support on her arm

and a kick on her feet, she turned around and jumped up. Within a blink, she had already sat steadily

beside John.

Whoosh... Fortunately, the foundation of four years of gym and five years of dancing was not totally

forgotten.

John looked at Clare with surprise and approval. His intuition told him that the girl in front of him might

be a little different from the one he had imagined.

"Actually, I don't have anything special to tell you."

Clare said honestly, "I'm just curious about you."

Resisting the impulse of "ask her to leave" and "leave by himself", John asked patiently, "Is there

anything worth your curiosity about me?"

"You." Clare turned her head to look at him and said, "Everyone says that you are very cool and cold.

Don't get close to people like an iceberg. But one of my friends told me that you are actually a good

person. You were just afraid of troubles, so you didn't want to contact people you were not familiar with.

So I'm curious if you are the same person as she said."

John was stunned, "... Your friend?" He remembered that when he was in grade one of high school, a

girl said to him with a beautiful smile, 'John, if only you could always smile. I think you are actually a

very gentle person. You are indifferent to unfamiliar people just because you are afraid of troubles,

aren't you?

"Yes." Clare nodded, "My best friend." She looked subconsciously at the bush where Amy was and

snickered.

Amie was really good at choosing this spot. From the gaps between the bushes, one could clearly see

this place, but from here, one could not see anything behind the bushes.

John didn't look at her, so he didn't notice what she was doing. He raised his wrist to check the time,

and then jumped off the double bars.

"Are you leaving?" Clare guessed.

She didn't expect to receive a response, but John said "yes".

Clare was a little surprised. She thought for a while and stopped John, "Wait a minute, John." She

jumped off the parallel bars, walked quickly to John, took out something from her pocket and handed it

to him, "Here you are." It was a sunny doll, which was originally Amy's. When they had breakfast

together in the morning, she found it interesting, so she took it from Amy. At this moment, she suddenly

felt that this sunny doll might be more suitable to stay with John.

But John didn't accept it. He could tell that Clare didn't like him, so he didn't understand what she

meant when she suddenly gave him something.

Noticing his concern, Clare explained with a smile, "I didn't mean anything else by giving this to you. I

just think the meaning of this doll is very good, very suitable for you, so I want to give it to you."

John looked at the doll and asked, "What do you mean?" He didn't know why he felt the doll a little

familiar. It seemed that... He had seen it before.

"Yes." Clare shook the baby doll in her hand and said with a smile, "The meaning of the baby is' looking

forward to the sunny day and happy every day'. Although you may think I'm a trouble, I still hope to

make friends with you. So I hope you can be happy every day and smile a little more." This must be

Amie's wish, right?

John looked at her, but still didn't take it.

Clare looked at him in confusion and asked uncertainly, "You Don't you like this one?" All of a sudden,

she was worried that she might be too thoughtless. It seemed that the sunny doll was too feminine and

childish, and John might not like it.

"No." In the uneasiness of Clare, John finally reached out to take the thing from Clare. He held the little

doll in his hand and looked at the time again.

"Oh, I almost forget that you are leaving. I'm sorry to take up your time." Clare smiled apologetically,

waved her hand at him and said, "Go ahead with your work. Bye."

John glanced at her, turned around and took two steps. Then he stopped and said goodbye to Clare

seriously with his back to her. Then he quickened his pace and left the playground.

Clare froze for a moment, and then stood still with a gentle smile.

This John...

He was indeed an interesting person.

No wonder Amie had a crush on him.

If he could smile more in the future, Amie would be very happy, wouldn't she? That silly girl.

Thinking of Amy, Clare smiled and walked quickly towards the shrubbery where they had sat, but Amy

was no longer there.

Did she leave first? Clare wondered. She looked at her watch and guessed in her mind, 'It's almost the

opening ceremony. Amie might have gone to the site to prepare for it?'
