The next day, Aila's morning class was canceled and she did not dare miss the opportunity to catch up with her best friend. Fortunately, Reese's morning class was also canceled, so they decided to meet at the viewpoint.
Aila felt a solemn sense of happiness, drinking a hot cup of coffee with one of her most favorite people.
"Hey, girlfriend, I missed you so much how have you been?"
Aila held her hair on one side because of the strong breeze, Reese helps her fix stray locks on her face as she answered her friend.
"I'm good, I missed you too, I was really busy with school stuff, how about you, what have you been up to?"
Aila's forehead furrowed; "You know how I find it weird that I feel bad for Vince but at the same time I'm glad he actually has given up on me already?"
"He did? For real? Whoa, I did not see that coming…" Reese's eyebrows rose in disbelief.
"Yeah he did, he was quite devastated, but I believe that's just temporary he is a strong-willed guy he will be okay." Aila was trying to reassure herself.
Reese patted her friend's head. "Of course, he will… he is an adult already he will manage."
"Another thing, about Yhuan," Aila let out a sweet smile, it was as if happiness glowed inside of her with the thought of Yhuan.
Reese stared at the open view, she does not want to meet Aila's gaze, and she still feels guilty about spying on Yhuan.
"What about Yhuan?"
Aila leaned her head against Reese's shoulder and she shyly whispered to her. "I think he is a good guy."
"I think so too… but you know I saw someone in your department, I can't believe there would be such a good looking guy in school." Reese tried to divert the conversation away from Yhuan.
"I think you're talking about Tony," Aila said as if her eyes were smiling.
"Oh, what is that look in your eyes girlfriend, don't tell me you like him too." Reese was teasing Aila.
"Tony is a campus crush everybody likes him." Aila chuckled while explaining to Reese.
"Haaay I know right, my heart leaps for joy whenever I get a glimpse of him..."
Reese was all smiles when she faced Aila. "Are you even aware that you are a campus crush as well?"
The confusion was obvious on Aila's face, she pointed to herself? "Me?"
Reese wrapped her arms around Aila and subtly nodded. "Every guy in my department knows about you, I can't even tell anyone that I'm your best friend, or else they would surely bother me to be the bridge you know…"
Both of them giggled, "I really missed you, crazy girlfriend!"
Reese asked Aila "Is Tony some sort of a lady's man? I have heard rumors you know".
"Huh? I am not that sure, I mean we're not close, perhaps he's just friendly".
Reese quickly figured out Aila, "Why do I have the feeling that he hasn't made a move towards you."
"That's because he hasn't" Aila was firm in her tone.
They do not know each other personally, but they often smile when they meet as if they are acknowledged that they know each other by face and name even if they have not really talked to each other.
What stands out for her is Tony's sense of fashion and his grooming, he look s so clean and fresh all the time as if he is always ready for a photoshoot. His scent is also something Aila remembers, he still smells good after a whole day of schooling.
Aila has a strong sense of smell, she quickly remembers the scents of people or things… and she is also sentimental when it comes to scents.
Perhaps it is because of her bad vision that's why her sense of smell compensated to a level this good.
Speaking of scents ... Aila is also known for the scent of vanilla, the sweetness of her smell adds to her beauty, her sweet, innocent, and pure image to most people. An image fit for a princess.
The two girls wrapped up their lunch and quickly went to school for their afternoon class. They gave each other a hug before parting to go to their respective buildings.
The afternoon class went by like a breeze, but there is someone missing… and Aila is starting to miss him.
Aila went outside the campus as fast as she can, with a hope to see Yhuan outside the campus waiting for her, but no... He was not there, also there's no text no calls from him.
Her pretty face was covered with gloom; she walked directly to the bus stop. When she got there, she saw Tony also waiting for the bus, he smiled at her and she gladly returned the smile to him.
Tony was a complete gentle man; he used himself to shield Aila when people rushed to get on the bus. He also secured a seat for her, and Aila thanked him politely.
"Aila, if you don't mind, can I ask for your number?"
Many of their schoolmates have already been staring at them; she did not want to embarrass Tony.
"Sure, give me your phone I'll save my number"
Tony smiled as he handed her his phone and thanked her immediately afterwards, a few moments later, Aila had to go down her stop. They waved goodbye to each other, this incident raised her spirits.
While Aila was walking on her way home, her happiness still radiates though her.
"My Gosh self...Chill, it was just a number that he asked for not your love." Aila was blurting to herself in a very low voice while she was clasping her chest because of her fast heartbeat.
"ring… ring…" Aila hurriedly took her phone from her pocket thinking it might be Yhuan who was missing in action for the whole day.
"Reese, it's you… what's up?"
"What do you mean what's up? Have you seen the school forum? You are the trending topic." Reese was almost screaming in excitement.
"I'm not a member of that forum how would I know?" Aila calmly explained to Reese.
"It is about you and Tony, a photo of you two exchanging numbers in the bus."
"What? I literally just got off that bus, how can it be a trending topic that fast?"
"I just told you this morning, you two are the campus eye candies. Hey, wait so you're not denying it?"
Aila bobbed her head, "It's just a number. It's not like he asked me out."
"Are you that dense? He will surely ask you out, that's why he wanted your phone number."
"hahaha, I guess I just don't want to be too ahead of myself." Aila was too humble and shy to admit that she is somewhat expecting it by now.
