(Clarence Traves Guevara)
After we eat, I was just looking at Yasha and waiting for the thing that she'll tell me.
"So here it is, I will ask you something"
"Okay, I just waiting"
"Can you be my..." I don't know what Yasha's going to tell me, but I was hoping that she likes me too. And she'll confess to me.
"I can be your?" I asked her, well, it's look like she's thinking of not telling what she need to tell me.
"You've been at my side all the time. So it is okay if you can be my..." she added and again she's thinking of not telling that thing. But whatever it is I will say yes, willingly. "You can be my guy best friend?"
"Yes"
"Really? Yes"
"Wait. What?" and there I just realize what she just asked me.
"Guy best friend. If it's okay to you?" I didn't bother to answer, I was thinking of what should I answer her. "If it's not okay, just ign---" I didn't let her finish her sentence.
"It's okay" I said.
I already think about it and, I think this is much better, than having a deeper relation with her, because for sure she'll get hurt in the future.
"Really?"
"Yeah" I answered and smiled at her.
"Yes" she said, then she also smiled at me widely
"Let's go" I said to her and we stood up and both walked all the way out of the restaurant, and ride the car. "Hmm, you need to go home?"
"Well, it's early, so maybe later. Why?"
"Do want to go somewhere"
"Sure, but make sure that I'll like that place"
"I promise you'll love it"
"Okay, let's go"
I smiled at her and started the engine of the car. After 20 minutes were already at our destination, I brought Yasha at a park. I got out of the car, then I opened the door of the passenger seat, and Yasha got out of the car. She looked around.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here, is there something special happening here?" she asked.
"What I know is, it's the anniversary of that restaurant" I said then point at the restaurant across from this park. "And every anniversary them decorate this park and put booths. Do you want to give it a try?"
"I love to" her, and she suddenly dragged me to enter the park and a lot of people blocked our way but we still managed to enter the park.
I saw Yasha looked around the park. And I just smiled because I can tell that she's having fun right now. I'll promise, I'll make you smile and happy.
"Let's try that" she said, then she again was about to drag me at a cafe, but I didn't move where I was standing.
"Wait, let's go there first" I said.
"Where?"
"There" and I dragged her at a photo booth. "And because this is the first day of us being best friends, let's take our first photo together, okay?" I said, then she nodded.
Then we entered the photo booth. And we take four photos. After that we took our. She took the two pictures, then gave me the other two.
"Keep that, okay. Then I'll keep these other two photos" then she put it in her bag.
"These are the first ever picture of us, that's why I will keep it safely" then I took out my wallet and I put our picture there..
"Let's go, let's try that cafe" and were about to go at the cafe, but we stopped walking when the black sky got so bright, that's why we looked up the sky. It's a fireworks.
"Wow, it's so beautiful" I heard Yasha said, I looked at her, and smiled because she was smiling right now.
I got surprised when Yasha suddenly grabbed me closer to her.
"Let's take a photo" then she took out her phone.
"Wait, we just took photo earlier" I said.
"Yeah, but this is different from that. So hurry, smile" after she said that my lips automatically shape in curve.
And she clicked the capture bottom. Then we looked at that photo of us.
"It's so cute, let's take another one" her, then she put her hand at me arm. "Smile" and I did what she said.
And clicked again the capture bottom.
"Haist? It didn't reached the fireworks" oh that's what she want.
"Wait, stay here, I'll be back" then I started to walked.
"Where are you gong?" she asked me.
"Just stay there" then I approaches at a girl that also watching the fireworks. "Hmm Miss, can you take a photo of us?"
"Oh sure" she answered.
"Make sure that the fireworks was also taken, okay?"
"Sure" then she smiled at me, I gave my phone at that girl then I grabbed Yasha closer to me, then I put mt hand at the shoulders.
"Okay, were ready"
"Okay, ready, one, two three, smile" the girl, and I smile.
"Did it reached the fireworks?" I asked
"Yeah. Another one?" she asked
"Yeah" I answered, but I put away my hand from Yasha's shoulder, and just posed with a peace sign.
"Again. One, two, three, smile" and I smiled. "Here" the girl said,while giving back my phone.
"Thank you"
"No worries" I was about to went back where Yasha was but the girl suddenly called me. "Hey, my name is Clarisse. Maxine Clarisse Mendoza"
"Clarence. Clarence Traves Guevara. Nice to meet you"
"Oh, what a coincidence, you have a same name with my older brother. Maybe it looks like weird that I suddenly introduced myself. Sorry but I just feel like we'll see each other again"
"No it's alright. Take care Clarisse"
"You too Clarence" then she started to walked to somewhere
"Who's that?" I heard Yasha asked, she's already at my side.
"She said that her name was Clarisse"
"So you know her?"
"Just today"
"Ah" and she became quiet.
"The fireworks done. But atleast we took a picture tayo, under the fireworks" I said, then I showed our picture to her.
"It's so beautiful. Send it to me." she said.
"Now. Let's go at that cafe?"
"No need, let's go there next time. And also I need to go home."
"Okay" then we walked all the way out of the park.
"Hmm, tomorrow, you don't need to went at school early, you just got bored there, your class was at 10 am, right?"
"Yeah" were already at the car.
"So you're going at school tomorrow at 10 am, okay?"
"Okay, but we'll take our lunch together"
"Yeah, were best friends so?" then smiled at me, I smiled back at her.
I started the car's engine, while were at the car, we just talked about everything until we reached their house. I opened the door of the passenger seat, then she got out of the car. I was about to enter the car when Yasha called me..
"Clarence, thank you for today"
"It's nothing"
"Tomorrow, after class let's stop by the educational supply store"
"Sure"
"Okay, you should go home, it's getting late, take care"
"You too, bye" and I waited until she entered their house, and then I entered my car and drive it all the way our house.
(Yasha Marie Estrella)
I already here at the campus, Dad dropped me, before going at his work, and also I was ashamed at Clarence, because he was picking me at the house at 8 am even his class was at 10 am, what he should do in that two hours, right? When I reached the campus I went to the chem lab first, well, it's early. And Daniel was the only person there.
"Good morning" he greeted me.
"Good morning" I greeted him back. "Where are the others?"
"They said they already had a class so maybe they'll visit here after their class"
"Ah" that was the only sound that escape from my mouth.
"Did you take your breakfast?"
"Actually, I didn't, my dad dropped me, and he leave the house early that's why I doesn't have time to take my breakfast."
"How about grabbing some food at the cafeteria, I also didn't have time to take my breakfast" he invited me.
"Who's gonna watch the club?"
"Ma'am Nicky." then he stood up and dragged me until we reached the cafeteria.
I looked at the food and decide what should I have for breakfast. I smiled when I saw the egg sandwich. I immediately ordered egg sandwich.
"Can I have an egg sandwich and also a sterilize milk" the cashier gave me what I ordered.
I was about to pay for what I ordered, but stopped me by holding my hand.
"Let me pay for these"
"No, it's oka---"
"Here's her payment" the cashier immediately accepted it.
I didn't argue with him, because he already carrying my food using the tray with his food too.
"Thank you" I said to her.
"You're welcome" he answered.
Then we started to eat, when I got my first bite at me egg sandwich, I looked around the cafeteria, and there at the another table that's not so far from where we was. I saw Eugine with Samantha, they're eating breakfast together. I saw how Eugine smiled and laughed at the front of Samantha, that's how he also smiled and laughed in front of me when were together.
I think he'll be happy with Samantha. From now on, I will not disturb them anymore.
