Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

It's the second day of classes and I'm too early

We're just five right now inside the classroom so it's still a little bit quiet

I was reading a book while listening to some random music from my phone and I'm actually using an earphones so nobody would hear

it says, "Sunshine, Daisies, Butter Mellow, Turn this stupid rat into yellow"

"Nice, that's Harry Potter isn't it, that's Ron's part"

I was surprised, "you're early Louis"

"just got up early today, Good morning Candice"

"good morning to you too"

I closed the Harry Potter book because I was distracted so I decide to just listen to music to waste some time

But then my eyes sent me to Louis place, I saw him looking at his camera and he was smiling but then he notice me

"what are you listening too?" he asked me, maybe because he doesn't know what to say

I removed my earphones and ready to answer his question, "Emerald Eyes" I mumbled

"oh really can you sing?" he asked another question

"a bit, but I'm not really that good" I said to be honest

"can you sing for me?"

I was shock and so surprised because his asking me to sing in front of him and my voice is just not something you would love to hear and I'm embarrassed for that

"a-are you sure?"

He nodded

I spend a thousand nights, lost in your emerald eyes, lost in a place where I know you can see my soul, made me lose track of time, you and your emerald eyes, finally found a place where I can call my home—

The next thing I knew he was smiling and a little bit laughing

I was so embarrassed...

"told you I wasn't so good with this" I doubted myself

"I disagree with that, I myself is not a great singer but I want to sing" he shared

"so you sing"

"a bit"

"show me" I get excited

you and me together, to the days and nights, I don't worry cause everything's gonna be alright, people keep talking, they could say what they like, but all I know is everything's gonna be alright, no one, no one, no one, can get in a way of what I'm feeling, no one, no one, no one, can get in a way of what I'm feeling for you—

I was frozen for a moment, I don't know, his voice is not that great but for me it's so angelic

what is this feeling inside of me?

"amazing" I uttered

"you're impressed? for real?"

"awesome"

I don't really know how to compliment, but the feeling is real, I really think it's awesome and amazing

"so early, did you have your breakfast" said Dencio who just gotten inside the classroom and take his sit

"yeah, an omelette" I mentioned

"just had sandwich on my way to school" said Louis

"that's right Candice, where should we start our presentation?" Dencio asked me

"would you like to do it after classes this afternoon?" I suggested

"if Luke's free I'm okay with that"

"he'll say yes" said Louis and had given him something, a note

And so this afternoon we decided to start our presentation about Professor Cass project

And they vote to do it in our house, it's okay for me since I live alone for the meantime because my family is away for business and my sister is not here

Luke also recommend to have dinner at our house, so right now I'm preparing for the ingredients we were going to cook. Dencio's already at the rice, and Luke is helping me for the other ingredients

And after cooking we eat and had a little chit chat about life and so on

"you'll have this part Luke, this one is mine and this one will be yours Candice"

We had decided to follow Dencio as our leader

"alright, so I'll capture scenery" said Luke

"I'll capture frames and other things" said Dencio

"then I'll do the free style" I said

"that's decided, let's do the essays first"

And we spend the night doing essays and slides presentation in our house

I handed Dencio a paper containing the essay I just made

"will you check this for me?"

He reached out the paper and read it carefully

"I'm satisfied" he said

I stretch my arms and started doing the other essays

"are we going to put captions to the selective photos?" Luke asked and yawned

"Dencio move his glasses, 'we will"

"okay, captioning for me is really tough" Luke mentioned

"I think you'll do better" I said

he yawned, "I'm. a bit sleepy"

"why don't you take a break?" said Dencio whose pretty busy and had a tons of works than us

We're at the living area,.we have a table fitted for us and couches

Luke lie down on the couch and take a break

Then I suddenly remember to make us some midnight snacks to dig in while doing these bunch of works

I went to the kitchen and peeled some fruits I slice it nicely before putting it into a nice plate, I made ice tea juice and get some chips on the cabinet. I carry it all in a tray and put it on the table

"have some" I muttered

Dencio removed his glasses, "thank you Candice" he said and eat the chips and drink the tea

I glances at Luke's direction and notice that he has fallen to sleep

I continue to do the essays while eating it's the same with Dencio but he got a call from someone and excused his self

I check out my phone and look at the time, it's already 10:45 pm

I put my phone back to the table and look for my camera and saw the pictures I had taken this past few days. I went back to my work. I finish 3 essays in a row before Dencio entered.

"you could take a break Candice" said Dencio

"no I'm good, I'm not that sleepy" I answered

Later that day at 11:32 pm Luke woke up

"you're still doing that" he yawned

He get up and decided to finish his work and on the other hand Dencio fall asleep

"I heard from Dencio you're Joana's friend and you have consecutive award everywhere, not just photography but even sports and writings" Luke mentioned

"that may be right but I do have a lot of failures" I said honestly

"you're great Candice, I admire you" he smiled genuinely

"I think you're great too"

'scribble' 'scribble'

"but not us great us you"

We continue to chit chat while doing our work

"when did you first met my friend Dencio?"

"I met Dencio when we're still in high school, he was courting Joana when we first saw him"

"his lucky to have your friend"

"they both deserve each other, and you of course Amie deserve you and you deserve Amie"

"I'm really curious, but have you fallen. in love?"

My heart start racing when I re call the time where I first met Louis on Milpitas California

I cough, "yes, I supposed"

"mind telling who it is?" he chuckled

"why would I? anyways I give you hint, he makes my heart race"

""that's not a hint at all, nevermind just keep it, I will know who that person is someday" he smiled

"of course you will"

We continue to do the work we even did Dencio's work and gone to sleep

It's Sunday today and tomorrow is Monday and it's holiday

And today we have decided that we will go to some places to capture the photo we're going to use for our project on professor Cass subject

But this time it's not just Luke and Dencio, Louis is coming along with us
