"Finally," she said in a singing voice as I sit on the chair in front of her
Wondering, I ask her about Sabrina.
"Where's Sabrina?" curiosity is visible in my voice because I'm expecting Sabrina and Andrius
She pouted her lips and sulk like a child. I know that look, I guess Sabrina didn't mean what she said a while ago. She's lucky that I still decided to come here and spare her some time though I'm quite busy.
"I think, Andrius and Sabby are dating" she whispers sounding so disappointed
I raised my eyebrow as I sipped my cappuccino. I'm bewildered by her reaction, I thought she would be happy and besides isn't it obvious? Sabby and Andri keep on hanging out these past few days.
"But I'm still doubting, as far as I know, Andri likes you not Sabby" she stated thinking so deeply
I scoff and rolled my eyes heavenward as I lean on the table. I make sure she saw my strong revulsion with her nonsense idea. I'm kinda offended.
"We both know Andrius El, he likes every girl he saw. He doesn't even have a class when it comes to choosing" I sarcastically retorted making her burst out laughing
That's the reason why I hate his gut. His too confident in himself and believe that every girl on the campus likes him. He's not even that handsome for me. Honestly, he's like dull and muddy abstract art.
"That so harsh Cam!" she remarks
I ignore what she said instead I look outside the coffee shop. I lost in my thoughts seeing those orchids flower that is planted in the coffee shop garden that sways as the wind blows, I suddenly remember someone...
"What are you looking at?" Ella asked curiously and she follows my gaze
"Allusion to the moth in flight" I mumble under my breath
I notice how she make face because of confusion. Don't tell me she doesn't know what does Waling Waling means?
"Your really an artist, your words are so deep and I always ended up mystifying with your choice of words"
"You take fine arts too right?"
"Yes, but we don't have the same specialized field. I choose arts and drama" she defensively explains
"And that makes you an artist too. Acting is another form of art, I guess it's the most beautiful form of art aside from dancing" I said out of nowhere and I look at the orchid plant again observing it carefully
I wonder how can I make that orchid plant move in the rhythm of my brush paint. I was about to speak up about what's on my mind when suddenly the coffee shop filled with laughter and noise but then my attention is focused on Ella's face. Shock and surprise are evident in her facial reaction, her eyes are glimmering with amazement as if she wanted to shout because of excitement and too much joy which I wonder why. And I was taken aback when she suddenly holds my hands.
"OMG!!!" She silently exclaimed as she looks at me with that smiley face of her
"You look disturbing" I blurt out because I find her stupid and crazy right now.
She ignores my savage remark and she shakes my hands that she's holding, so because of too much irritation, I pulled my hand from her grip.
"They here! Oh god!" She whispers enough for me to hear it
I turn my face to the right side because I began to be curious. I'm eager to know the reason for her outburst and there I saw four men standing at the counter. They were all wearing a familiar jersey uniform so I was lost with my thoughts.
"I did mention them with you, right? They were from Xeverin University " Ella whisper
I nod my head when I realize where the school they came from. Xeverin University, the school near the campus of the University Of Emilia East. I don't have much knowledge about those schools, they were just really known here that's why. Besides Philca Arts University campus is just a few meters away from those schools.
"What's with them by the way?"
My forehead creased because of my sudden question. Why do I sound like I wanted to know something? This is Ella's fault.
"The guy holding a red bag, I honestly like him"
I laughed because of what she said. Seriously? She's too childish admiring someone who doesn't even know her. I shake my head and look at her but I stop when I found her staring at me intently
"First time..." she mouthed
"What?"
"This is the first time you laugh like that Cam! Oh gosh, I think we're friends already" she happily squeals
My smile fades off and I suddenly felt sluggish and wanted to lock myself inside my room. My hand form into a fist under the table and shook my head while staring at the time on my phone.
"I need to go now"
"Huh? Wait, it's still early, can you- "
"I already gave you enough time"
I stand up from my seat and I walk fast not minding those stares coming from those customers. They making fun of me because of the dry paint on my fingers and hair. But who cares right? I offended no one.
I walk a little fast because I suddenly felt suffocated but then someone bumped me unexpectedly.
"Cam!" Ella called me because I almost get splashed by a hot coffee good thing it didn't though I flinch a little because of a small number of droplets that are swash on my bare skin
I arrogantly lift my head and meet the gaze of the man who bumped me. I frown annoyingly flaunting the irritation that I felt right now before I speak.
"Don't walk blindly " I said clearly right into his face
He has two deep charcoal eyes but he's not using them properly. What's the use of it then? I notice how the corner of his lips rose a bit showing the arrogant smirk on his face.
"Sorry," he said coolly sounding not so bothered about the fact that he troubles someone
I look at him from head to toe and vice versa. He's way taller than me, my 5'6 height is nothing compared to his 6 feet tall, definitely a basketball player. I hope this is not the man that Ella is talking about because for me his just like flat and dull canvas art, nothing is interesting to him.
"Learn to use your eyes next time" the last thing I said before I left the coffee shop
I shiver a little because of the cold breeze that touches my bare skin, I was about to leave but someone grabs my arm preventing me to walk.
"Wait Cami " I heard Ella said
My brows furrowed as I turn around and look at her.
"What?"
"Are you okay? You are not hurt, right? I just wanted to give you this by the way" she said genuinely
I look at the pink orchid she's holding and my emotion gets cold seeing it right in front of me.
I look at Ella directly into her eyes before I speak.
"I don't like Vanda sanderiana. I hate her..."
