Gabby takes me to the costume department room and I learned that he is in-charge of the costume for the event. His team is busy unpacking, organizing and decorating the costumes. I thought he wants me to help them but he says, "I want you to clean the room, all the mess that my people made. There is a broom there somewhere I want you to put all the trash away. They will be finishing for the day very soon and I do not want you to leave the room until you are done." He turns around and walks away. While I am trying to make some assessment of how to start cleaning up the room when I heard Gabby said, "What are you still waiting for?" So I quickly grab the broom and start to do some cleaning.
After a few minutes, everybody are starting to leave, it is actually difficult to clean the room when there are still people working. My friends came to see me when everybody is gone. They said they would help me to finish the cleaning so that we can all leave because it is getting late and we still have a class in the morning.
Cleo said, "Isn't strange that Adam didn't give you any task yet?" Marcelo said, "Does he know that you are doing a cleaning job today?" And Marvin said, "You can't do this, it's a waste of time and talent from your end!" I said, "Its alright, I think its just only for today. I think they are under staff too. No worries!"
It is already six pm and we are almost done and I told my group to go ahead and I will take care of the trash and I know for sure they are also tired today from their task.
There are so many bag of trash and since I was left alone I have to put it away one or two bag at a time. I am about to step outside the room with the bag of trash in my hands when I saw Gilbert standing at the door. He grabs the other trash from my hands and says, "Let me help you with that." I went back to the room to take the remaining trash and we both walk together to the trash bin area to dispose it. While walking back to the room he says, "Every body is gone!" I said, "Yes they are and I am happy they are because I cannot able to finish the cleaning when there are still people working." He says, "Are you done?" I said, "Yes I am, I am just going to get my things and close the room."
He waits for me to come out of the room. I said, "You don't have to wait for me, you can go home if you want." He says, "I am hungry, would you like to have a quick dinner first?" I said, "The canteen is already close and my house is not too far away anyway. He says, "We are not going anywhere far, I know a barbeque shop near the school and I heard the food there are great." Before I could say anything again my stomach starts to growl especially after hearing what he just said. I didn't realize he heard it and says, "I think someone is very hungry already." And he laughs.
The dinner is supposedly a quick one but we didn't realize we have been eating in the barbeque shop for an hour already. We chat about anything and completely loss track of time until the owner of the barbeque shop starts to close his shop.
We are walking in the street and waits for Gilbert to get his ride and I can walk back home. He says, "I didn't realize you are chatty yourself," I said, "Of course I am, you must have thought I am very shy and quiet, don't you?" He says, "Yes that was my impression about you. I guess, that means you are no longer shy being with me?" I said, "Who said I am being shy with you?" I laughed and said, "Well, tonight you made everything easy for me and I am already comfortable I guess. Do you like the transformation?" And I laugh again. He says, "Yes I do because I can get to know you much better."
We are back in the front of the school I asked Gilbert if he is going to be all right waiting for his ride while I leave him there and go home. He said he is okay and I can go ahead. I gave him a smile and said, "Have a safe journey home!" I am expecting him to say, "Thank you" or "you too" but instead he says, "You should smile more often because you have a nice and perfect set of teeth!" And before my face turns red I turn around and walk away.
