I can't sleep and my mind is full of thoughts of him. Why do I feel this way whenever he's around me? Do I like him? But it's only been a month since I know him, or maybe not a month because of what he said when I was at the hospital. When I need someone to talk to, he's there. When I need someone to help me, he's there. He does't even think twice before helping me. What is wrong with me? It's only been a week or two when I broke up with Chad and now I like someone else? This fast?
I sat when I heard the door open. Dad came in and sat on the chair next to my study table. "Are you okay, my princess? he asked.
I slightly laughed, "Of course, I'm okay Dad"
"I know what happened between you and Chad?"
I was surprised by what he said.
He knew? Who told him?Don't tell me it's....
"Was it Hero?"
"No" he denied. "Chad came here earlier. He told me that you weren't answering his text and calls. He seemed to be in a hurry when he told me that he has something to explain to you. I said you weren't around so he asked to to give you this" he handed me a small card. Before he closed the door he said, "You know, Hero is not that bad"
I frowned when he closed the door. Even you Dad? I looked at the card I'm holding right now. When I was about to read it, my phone buzzed.
From: Trever
Hope you got home safe!
To: Trever
How did you get my number?
From: Trever
Didn't you gave it to me when we were studying at the library?
To: Trever
ah. Yeah I remember. Yeah I got home safe. Hero drove me home.
From: Trever
Nice to hear that. Goodnight and sleep tight!!
To: Trever
Yeah you too, good night!
I put my phone down and opened the small card that Chad gave to Dad and Dad gave to me.
'I'm sorry. I know I hurt you but that was the only thing I could do. I had no choice but to hurt you. I loved you and it was only you until now. I' so sorry. I know these words won't erase the pain I've caused you. I promise to explain everything to you when I see you again. I'm sorry'
My tears started to fall and I didn't even notice it. "Why do you have to be so mysterious?" I mumbled. Maybe I'm not in love with Hero because I still have feelings for Chad. I still want to hear his explanations and the worst part is, I'm still affected by him. How I wish I could wake up tomorrow and the pain is gone. But it's a wish that could never come true.
I was awaken by the noise of my alarm clock. I stretched both of my arms upward and started to prepare for school. It took me an hour and a half to get ready and it took me fifteen minutes to arrive at the school and of course I had to walk to enter the university so my disguise won't be wasted.
Rane wanted me to accompany her to the business building cafeteria and we ran into Lane and Yvonne. The bad news is, we had to share a table with Hero and his friends.
"Tell your Dad that I enjoyed the dinner" I was alarmed by what Hero said. I wasn't going to let them know that he had dinner with my Dad and now he just spilled the bean. He immediately called my friends and his friends' attention. I just sighed.
"You had dinner at her house?" Rane asked Hero as if it was so impossible. He just nodded so their eyes was on me again.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday when I texted you?" It was Trever this time who spilled the bean. Why should i tell you? They really are friends!!
"And you have her number!" It was Yvonne. Trever nodded as a reply. They looked at me again! "I don't even have your number but these two guys have yours?" she asked before pouting.
I'm so damn speechless. I don't know what to say. "It's just a phone number, why do you have to act like that?" Cedrick asked in an annoyed tone. He was looking at Yvonne. "Besides, she can give you her number right now if you asked her to."
"Dude, relax" it was Axel.
"Tch!!!" -Yvonne.
*KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!*
The bell rang so we had to go to our first class. "Don't worry I'll give it to you later, Yvonne" I said and her face brightened up.
tssss. A child.
It was surprisingly quiet in our room when we came in. They looked at us then went back to what they were doing. We just sat at our usual seat.
"I think there's an announcement for our school festival next month" Rane said.
I was going to say something but our prof came in so I decided not to ask about the festival.
"Class, you know that we'll have our festival next month right?" he asked and we just nodded as an answer. "There are a lot of contest that would be going on that event so I want you to join those and bring honor to your batch. There would be a couple something contest. You don't have to be a couple to join, you're professor will decide who will join that, two girls and two boys. You don't have a chance to back out once your prof's decision is final. There will also be a singing contest. It will determine the singers for our Christmas Ball. The other contest is up for you to decide if you want to join it with your friends. But, those who will join contests will receive plus points in your grades"
My classmates suddenly cheered when they heard his last sentence."Quiet!" he shouted that made them go silent. "I will post these posters for the contests on the bulletin board so feel free to sign up for these"
after saying those, he started teaching us again. Some of our classmates were not listening and were still talking about the festival.
"What contest will you join?" Rane whispered while I was writing notes.
"I don't think I will" I answered.
"I thought you were good at singing"
I looked t her. How did she know that when she never heard me sing? "I-I don't sing anymore" I stuttered while avoiding her gaze.
I really don't sing anymore. Before I loved singing not until an important person in my life disappeared in my life. I always sing with Chad in every contest we join and now that he's gone, maybe I should change.
Our class dismissed earlier than usual because the professors have meeting. We went straight to the cafeteria to buy milk tea. I have no plans to join any contests. It's enough for me to visit stalls and rides in our festival. Raanetold me that our school have rides every festival. They are placed at the big field behind our school.
I saw Hero and his friends at the bulletin board where you can sign up for contests but I didn't want to be there so I just continued walking to our next class.
After all of my class finished, I gave my number to Yvonne, Rane and Lane because they kept asking for it. I went straight to our house to enjoy my remaining time of the day.
The next morning, I arrived early again at our university so I saw some female professors getting the posters for the contests but I didn't bother to pay attention to them because I was waiting for my friends.
At lunch, Yvonne came to the cafeteria running to me. Before she could even say anything, she was scolded by her fiancé, Cedrick. "You know your condition, yet you still run like that! Why do you have to be so careless?!"
Tss. Why don't you tell her that you care for her?!
"Yeah, right" she answered and looked at me. "Did you sign up for the singing contest?"
"No!" I answered. My heart started to beat so fast and it was due to nervousness. why do I have this kind of feeling?
