Denver's Pov
As soon as Rum and I left the house, immediately went wild. Not exactly, I was just little upset about my mom saying goodbye to Rum instead of me, like I'm her offspring.
I came out of her- lets not say it here.
"Ok, I'm changing my mom" I told Rum. Don't make this a big thing. I'm just upset for a little bit like 99% percent. I'm not that mad.
"Are you upset your Mom, said goodbye to me." Rum tried to annoy me. But I am not buying it.
"No!" I replied.
To change the topic, I went to his Car's music playlist. I was surprise to see his music playlist:
Twice - Heart shaker
Twice- TT
Twice- Likey and many Twice's other songs.
"Seriously Rum?" I gave him a confuse look. There's a lot of boys that support or Stan girl Groups, but You cant guess by his looks.
"Its not mine, Its my sister's. I don't listen to music." He said. No wonder He looks like he has no emotions. He don't listen to music.
"Really? what was the last music you heard?" I asked him.
"Maybe twinkle, twinkle little star" He said.
I don't know if it was a joke or what, but this guy needs music. Good thing I'm a man of Music. I took my phone out of my pocket and started searching for some Music. I have all kinds of music.
You want to party? sure! I have Mixtapes on my playlist!
kpop? please, Think of a K-pop group and I'll name one song from my playlist.
You're heartbroken? December avenue, Ben & Ben or the juans?
Oh, you want Aesthetic and Creepy songs? Billie Eillish or Mhelanie Martinez?
My songs were too many It took almost all of my phone's storage, I hope I'm not wasting my time making Rum listen to them if he doesn't like them.
I feel Heartbroken at all times even if I don't have a boyfriend so:
Now Playing: December avenue- Bulong
It was a good thing Rum didn't mind me singing along to the song, because I cant hold it in.
hindi masabi ang nararamdaman, di makalapit. sadyang nanginginig nalang mga kamay na sabik sa piling mo.
..I tried to sing. I know the meaning of this song is 'not having the courage to tell your feelings' and everything like that. I don't really feel the song right know but maybe in the future I will.
My beautiful singing was stopped when I noticed The car entered a some sort of Subdivision.
"Rum, this is not the mall" I complained. I only want to go to a subdivision if this guy is my boyfriend and decided to buy me a House or something.
"Of Course this is not the mall, We're going to my House" Rum answered. Did he just say His house? wait! I'm not prepared!!!!!
"Rum you literally didn't tell me we're going to your house" I freaked out. I'm used to meet people, with the same age as me, not parents especially if your mother is the school's Principal.
Maybe Rum read my Mind when he said " Its ok, My Mom and Dad is not around only my brother and my sister is at the house"
He told me Her Mother was at school having some student and school documents going on, and his father was a psychologist doing some therapy.
No wonder this Guy is So rich, having both parents have jobs that was payed millions ( Okay, I'm exaggerating things)
"Ok fine!" what a relief. At least I will get to meet his brother who was our school's Alumni, and her sister who is a freshman.
"ow, I want to inform you my sister is your Fangirl." Rum said. I didn't even know I have a fans club.
he told me he left something at his house, a very important task Mr. Delo Santos gave to him as he said it.
We arrived at his house, it was located few streets after you go inside the gate. He parked his car at one of their parking spots.
he led me inside the house in which I was shocked at first.
When you go inside it appears to be a very tiny house with a second floor, but when you open the door on your right, a large backyard and a mansion was waiting for you.
whoever came up with this Idea was Awesome, I want to get him as the engineer of my future house.
There was a small bridge connecting the small house and the mansion full of Koi and gold fishes below it. we walked over it and headed towards the house.
"Rum, this House is very awesome." I praised Rum for having this kind of Home.
"hmmm" Rum just gave me a sound of him agreement.
"Be more Grateful Rum" I said. "I should have stayed at your car and continued my singing session".
"I cant relate to that song, Don't worry if I have time I'll compose a song for you" I cant believe this Guy bashed my All-Time favorite song.(Even if it was released years ago)
We went inside the House and Rum told me to wait on the Living Room.
I waited for Rum to get back from his Room, where he left the thing he said that was so important, when a guy so familiar came into my sight.
"hi- Kuya Jude" I greeted him.
Kuya Jude was my ultimate crush during high school. He was a school senior at that time while I'm a 7th grade freshman. It was kind of embarrassing to see him again here. After I avoided him so many times last year.
how did I forgot his Surname was Ocampo, and was also the son of mrs. Ocampo the principal.
"Oh, hey Denver. Why are you here?" He asked me.
Yes, you heard it. After I told him I have a crush on him before, he already knows me. But, I stopped having feelings for him when he said his Crush is my friend Sue.
yeah, I was devastated at first, but when Sue said she has no interest in him. I was relieved then eventually forgot about Kuya Jude.
"oh, I was here with Rum" I told him. This guy might think I have something with his Brother. luckily before the awkwardness gets more intense a girl came out of the door shouting,
"Jude, Can you please stop-" then she saw me. "Hey, is that you kuya Denver?" I nodded. then she started shouting.
Rum was not wrong saying this girl is my fan girl, I like it. She started throwing a lot of questions at me I didn't catch up at all.
Good thing Rum came with a bag of yellow fabric. So this was Mr. Delo Santos' task? as what it looks like our adviser is asking us to bring this to a laundry.
"lets Go" Rum told me. As soon as he said that Her sister started shouting again. we didn't let her finish because Rum grabbed my hand and dragged me into the car.
"Sorry My Sister's a lunatic" he said.
**********************************************************************************
when we arrived at the mall, Rum and I went directly for the Laundry station to get this over with.
He told me we should come back for it at the end of the day.
It was already pass lunch time, I cant Believe I missed Lunch time because of Rum again.
"Ok Rum, Lets eat" I told him. I'm now really hungry.
I cant believe Rum tried to argue with me from which fast food we should eat.
"lets Go to McDonalds" I told him.
"Jollibee is better" Rum protested.
"McDonalds!"
"Jollibee"
Finally I gave in. I'm so hungry right know I cant let my pride take over. So we went directly for Jollibee inside the mall. It was Sunday so we expected the store to be crowded or full.
But Luckily it wasn't. maybe they went to McDonalds instead, (I told you, McDonalds is better)
We went to the counter and ordered our food, I didn't have to Pay anything, Rum offered to pay. This Guys is literally Rich.
His order was just a cheese burger and a Large coke, while me on the other hand has the biggest Super Meal of Jollibee.
"You're not hungry at all?" I asked him.
Rum just answered "Nah"
"I cant believe you fought with me to eat here and you just ordered that?"
"Sorry" he apologized.
We continued Eating our food and started talking to each other. We talked about, the school, his parents, my mother, Everyone in class and other stuff.
I didn't even know Rum can Laugh this insane. I've seen him Smile to me before but not laugh. Rum's changing? or I just didn't know him before?
After eating at Jollibee we went walking around the Mall. We spotted an arcade inside the mall and decided why not play?
This Time I'm not letting Rum take this all by himself I need to have fun too. we played every game in the arcade with a goal to get as many tickets as we can.
" I need to get that Large teddy Bear.!" I told Rum. " So you should help me get many tickets we need to get that."
Rum just nodded.
The price of The Large teddy bear was 20,000 tickets. It wont be that hard to get.
We started playing the games one by one. At some point, we almost forgot about our goal and just had fun.
I took a couple of Pictures together with Rum for memories, and Rum gladly cooperated with me taking pictures of him alone, of us together and a selfie.
I also took some videos of me joking around with Rum with him just standing there smiling. I am happy Rum invited me today. If he didn't, I would be in my room, just laying down in my bed watching Movies repeatedly.
"Lets go, lets see if we can get you that bear" Rum told me, the smile on his face still hasn't evaporated.
I agreed.
We went to the counter and Let the crew put our tickets to the counting machine. my body was getting hot and tensed, I want that bear so bad. I closed my eyes I don't want to see the total number of tickets when it comes out.
"Ok this is a lot." the crew told us. I opened my eyes to see the tickets that says 19,990.
"Ow!" I was disappointed. I cant believe I'm only Ten points behind for that Bear.
I was about to choose another price, when a girl tapped me in the back. "Excuse me Sir, I think you dropped this"
she was holding a handful of Tickets that she said was ours. As soon as she handed the tickets to me, I regained my happiness.
Finally, I gave the remaining tickets to the arcade crew and he recounted them. It already reached 20,000
"Congrats Sir, You can now get the largest Teddy Bear in here." said the crew.
then together with his coworkers, They handed us the Large teddy bear. I didn't realize it was really big, it took me and Rum to carry it. Although he still offered to help me and drive me home.
This is the happiest day of my 2020 I thought to myself.
After getting the prize, Rum and I left the arcade, still with the bear in our hands. It was really huge.
we went back to the laundry station where the curtains were already done. it was good as new. It made our life harder holding the heavy laundry and a very huge teddy bear together.
We went to the parking lot and went inside the car. Rum told me to put the large teddy bear in the back seat where it took all of the space, the car looked like a two seater. While the curtains on the Trunk.
He drove me Home and we arrived almost 6 in the afternoon. He helped me again by carrying the large bear inside the house. The bear was so Big it almost didn't fit our Door.
I said goodbye to Rum after helping me.
I had to thank him for bringing me out today, I had fun. Nobody usually brings me out that often so this is nice.
"Rum," I reached out. "Thank you for today, I enjoyed it" I told him
after saying that, he smiled. "you're welcome, if you want we could do it again in the future" he smiled again.
Its good to know this side of Rum Verdell Ocampo, my friend.
I am grateful for having this kind of friend. (even if we're not that close)
I said goodbye to him and watch as he drove away. As soon as he left I let out a big smile. I turned around and noticed my mom standing there.
"You had fun with Rum didn't you?" my mom pushed my shoulders jokingly.
Honestly, I want to answer. Mom, that was beyond Fun., but I'll keep my joy to myself.
