It is sunday afternoon, everything seems so usual as it could be except for the fact that nervousness hits me. I thought to myself, tomorrow is the day I will start my internship on a corporate company and being nervous is quite normal but to me it isn't and I can't understand for feeling this way since I'm use of being nervous in front of people but this time, it's a lot different.
I thought to myself that I should really relax myself since tomorrow is a big day and maybe going to plaza nearby would ease my nervousness. I dial Emy's number to see if she is willing to accompany me in the plaza.
"Hey Emy! it's me Ziel. I was wondering if you can accompany going to the plaza. I just need to relax before big day comes. " Hoping she would really come with me.
"Come on Z! There's no need to be nervous tomorrow. Just pretend you already know all of them so you'll feel less nervous. "
"You know I can't do that even if I want to. You know me I don't really gives in to people that easily and we just need to enjoy there. "
" Even if I want to go with you Z, I can't. I already promised my sister that I will go with her to meet her boyfriend's family. You know what you should go there yourself. Just learn how to be independent from now on and spend you're time there enjoying but you must remember that tomorrow is a big day so you shouldn't get tired. "
"Well, I guess it's only me till the end then. Good luck on your trip E. "
"Bye"
Emy was the first friend I made since going here in the capital. Before, I am not really into having friends ,well, shutting myself from them is the correct term. I just don't want people to be friends with me because they needed me. I am very studios when it comes to academics back in high school and people try to get close to me just to ask my help for their homeworks which I did but times comes that I realized that it was all wrong so I stop them from coming my way in which they did and people tries to bully me because of that. So when I reach for college, I try to not make the same mistake again and should prevent people from coming to me so I disguised myself. I put more make ups that i nearly look like a dork just to prevent them from drawing near me and there I met Emy. All I can say is that Emy is so different from them. And I'm happy for that.
My parents are not happy for my idea because they believe that I deceive people. But still they cannot stop me. So students in campus sees me as a total nerd and a complete dork. Emy is the only one who knows what I really look like and hell she cannot believe that I wear thick make ups.
Its time to go to plaza. Maybe I should go to the plaza alone. Okay, just this once I thought to myself that I should go there without wearing thick make ups but only me, the real me.
As I walk to the plaza, I wonder if what I should do within 4 hour to calm myself and idea pops into my head. I should just watch movie and then walk on malls and eat on every stall I pass by. Well, thats a crazy idea but a good one.
It was when I dial Emy's number to know her whereabouts when suddenly i bump into someone. A masculine one.
"Oops sorry Mr. I really am sorry for not looking. "I feel really ashamed for bumping someone.
"thats okay. I wasn't really looking either. I am focused on seeing something beautiful. "he explained.
"Oh... Well I guess I just need to pay you back for dropping your shake. wait here. i'll buy you a new one. "
"no need Ms. . Its okay really, you don't need to buy me one. "
"Im really sorry Mr. since this is already settled, i should start going. Im really on a hurry if its okay with you. "I said having thought that I will miss the slot.
"yeah it's fine. you can go. " he said and we bid farewell.
Thats really a new one. So I rush to buy ticket for the movie. Its seat A8. A8 seems a good spot to watch the movie for a great angle
So i hurried to make it on time before the movie starts and its a good thing that seconds before I arrive, the movie starts. I really dont want to make a noise to not disturb others and finally, I found my slot.
I seated there without looking at the sides, focusing myself on watching the movie then suddenly fake coughs annoys me. I turned to the side as i was shocked to see the man seated behind me was the stranger I recently bumped. GOOD gracious. What a coincidence.
After some time, the movie ended well. The movie was great but I Didn't enoy it that much since the stranger I met recently makes me uncomfortable. I walk fast from the cinema hoping I will not meet the guy again.
