"Hey,Carl,you down for karaoke tonight?"Gabriel said

"...karaoke?"Carl said

"Yeah"Gabriel said

"...okay...is he coming too?"Carl said

"yeah,this's..."Gabriel said

"Aaron"Aaron said

one of Gabriel's classmates wearing glasses with ginger hair that was divided by the side,he had three piercings on his ear,he wore a red coloured T shirt and a soldier cargo pants

"So what time..."Carl said

"...give me a sec"he said walking towards Disha

"...hey uh...Disha,wanna go out tonight?"Carl said

"Huh?"she said

"We're going karaoke,you should come"he said

"...and why would I join you?" she said looking at him

"...well"he said while looking elsewhere

"haha,we'll all go,right you guys?"seraph said

"where did she come from?"ivy thought

"well,it's not like it's a date,so we're all invited too,right?" seraph said

"all right!,can't wait,aren't you guys excited?!"she said to ivy and anna

"I'll meet you guys around 9:00 pm at the gate of the campus" seraph said and waved all of them good bye

"what's her deal?"Anna whispered to ivy's ear

"One of those,huh"ivy said

"Let's go babe"she said while going

"Babe?"they thought

And so they all left one by one

it was 9:00 pm and each of them had arrived.Disha wore a short,fitted white dress that had a brown crop top long sleeved shirt over it with high black palms,Carl wore a loose black long sleeved button shirt and black jeans,Gabriel wore a dark blue jean jacket over a white Tshirt and an ash colored pant,Ivy wore a high waisted milk jean and short black button shirt,Anna wore a pink long button shirt and a white skirt,Aaron wore a red and black striped shirt with a blue jean

"oh,hey you guys,I didn't see you at the gate so I thought you left me but I know you can't do that hahaha"seraph said, dressed in a long brown jacket and white shirt with blue jeans

"oh right,which karaoke are we going"she said clinging to Carl's arm

"I don't know"Carl said while removing his hand from her grasp

"..I know a couple or two,I'm so excited,I've never gone out with friends before"she said

"is it me or did seraph come,just to get closer to Carl?"Anna whispered to ivy's ear

"you're realizing that now?"ivy said

"it's not quite far up ahead,let's go"Gabriel said and they started walking

"You should complement her"Carl thought as he saw Disha

"...it normally isn't this hard"he thought

"...hey uh Disha"Carl said

"Hm?"she said looking at him

"...your outfit's really pretty"he said while blushing

"....oh...thank..."she said then paused

"i..idiot,o..of course it is"she said while blushing

they reached their destination and went in,then all sat down

"wow you guys,this place is so pretty,let's go singing or wait let's grab a bite first"seraph said

"right I'll go first, make sure to cheer for me"Gabriel said and went to stage looking for a song to select

"ugh"seraph mumbled

"Carl,in the meantime,why don't we just grab foods and drinks for all of us?"seraph said

"Well,I'm hungry"Carl said

"I can go myself so you don't really have to follow me"he said while standing up

"No worries"seraph said while standing up also

"we'll be back"she said

they left

"I'm gonna go....I'll be back"ivy said and left

Disha stood up and headed to the bathroom.It was remaining Anna and Aaron

"what do I say..."Anna thought

Aaron was on his phone when

"internationally,the invention of karaoke has widely been credited to daisuke Inoue,a Japanese musician who released the 8 juke in 1971"Anna said

"oh,really"Aaron said

"karaoke is a word from Japanese origin,the word Kara from karappo means empty while the word oke from okesutura means orchestra,so apparently,karaoke means an empty orchestra"Anna said

"how fascinating....."Aaron said

"Why is she telling me this?"he thought

"....I'm sorry, it's just...I don't really know what to say when I'm alone with a guy"she said

"oh,that explains it"Aaron said

"how cute"he said

"huh"she said

"I just said you were cute"he said while smirking then continued with his phone

"Oh"Anna thought while blushing

at where seraph and Carl went to buy foods and drinks,they had already ordered what they needed so they were heading back

"so,Carl,can I get your number?"seraph said while clinging to his hand

"I'll give you mine too"she said then looked at him

"umm Carl..."she said but was interrupted

"stop clinging on to me"Carl said

"oh I didn't realize,haha,guess I'm a bit of a klutz's"seraph said

"so, what do you say,wanna hangout with me later?"seraph said

"No"he said

"huh,why not?"she said

"Why would I?"he said

"....fair point,but you hang out with Disha just fine,don't you?"she said

"Yeah,that's because I want to"he said

"....is that so"she mumbled

"let's hurry up,they're all probably starving by now"he said

"yeah...right"she said

"Interesting"ivy mumbled and went back

"hey,nobody's here cheering for me"Gabriel said as he finished his song

ivy entered and so did Carl and seraph

"we're back!,bet you guys were starving?"seraph said as they went to their seats

they all began to dig into their food and after,they finished eating

"...We better get going"Carl said

"Come on,You didn't even sing"Gabriel said

"Yeah,sorry about that"Carl said while standing up

seraph's phone beeped

"alright everyone,I've gotta go"seraph said while standing up also

"I'll see you later Carl"she said and pecked him on the cheeks

"oh..."ivy,Gabriel and Anna mumbled

Disha stared silently.They all went outside and headed back to the campus

"I think Gabriel and I need to buy something real quick"ivy said

"we do?"Gabriel said

"yeah"ivy said looking at Gabriel then turned to look at Anna and gave her a thumbs up

"Huh?"Anna thought

"Bye"ivy said as they left

"...that son of a"Anna thought

"Well,let's go"Aaron said while walking

"Ah,umm,...could you help with something?"she said

"what's that?"he said

"I need to grab...the uh,new volume of this manga that...just came out"she said while sweating as she has never asked a guy to accompany her before

"you read manga?"he said

"...yeah"she said

"Oh,okay let's go"he said

Disha and Carl were left together.She started walking and Carl trailed behind

"wait up Disha"he said

"and why would I?"she said

"fucking idiot...what am I even angry at?"she thought

"hey Disha,I said slow down"he said grabbing her hand

"don't touch..."she said

*vroom*a car passed with high speed

she was grabbed into his arms with his hand around her.Her eyes were lit as she realized she was almost ran over and also,the fact that she was in Carl's arms

"...idiot,what do you think you're doing?"she said while blushing

"Disha,could you try not to get yourself injured?"he said while letting her go

"...and sorry for touching you"he said

"...is that all?"she said while turning

"...it's night,you shouldn't walk too fast"he said

"how I walk is non of your business"she said

"*Sigh*could you just listen without actually complaining"he said while grabbing her hand

"let's go"he said

"so what are we buying exactly?"Gabriel said to ivy as they entered the boutique

"....yeeeeeah"she said as she was thinking of an excuse

"I need to buy a new pair of underwear"she said

"Kay...but what do you need me for?"he said

"to check them out of course"she said while smiling at him

"oh,right"he said while blushing

"Where is it?"Anna mumbled

"ah,there they are"she said

"...just a little bit more"she said as she stretched to carry it

"you can always ask for help you know?"Aaron said leaning in to carry the book for her by towering over her

"oh, thanks"she said while collecting it

"I just need to pay for it"she said walking towards the cashier

"okay"he said and went

when she was done with the payment,she turned to look for him

"ah, he left me"she thought

"he must be tired since I'm the one who dragged him here"she thought

she stepped outside the door

"you're finally done"Aaron said as he was standing up outside

"...oh,yeah"Anna said

"...I thought you left"she said

"It's night,I can't let you walk alone"he said

"....oh"she said,feeling happy

"do you perhaps want to read it when I'm done?"she said as they were going home

"sure"he said

Carl and Disha had reached the campus

"...were almost there,so you can let go of my hands now"she said

"...Kay"he said while removing his hand

They walked silently to their dorms

"Good night"he said

"...Yeah"she said

"...Hey Carl"she said

"Hm?"he said

"...sorry for...yelling at you or whatever"she said while blushing then saw his eyes widen

"...this's the first time I'm hearing you say sorry"he said

"...well that's because I'm never wrong"she said while looking sideways

"...you're so adorable"he said while smiling

"Huh?"she said while blushing

"Hm?"he said

"Ah,I said that out loud"he thought

"...I bet it's not the first time someone's telling her that"he thought while looking at her

"But here she is getting so flushed"he thought while blushing scratching his neck

"Disha..."he said but she didn't answer,she just kept looking down while blushing

"...you know it's true,though"he said,making her blush harder

"Hehe"he thought

"....I..I'm..."she said while looking everywhere except from Carl's face

"...it's late!"she said while opening her door

"I s..should sleep!"she said then entered

He stood there for a while

"aaah"he said then sat on the floor

"This isn't good for my heart"he said while ruffliing his hair and blushing

disha sat on her bed after entering her room.Badump* badump*badump*badump*her heat beating fast with her face flushed

"...that idiot"she said curving on the bed

The next day and headed to class.He came out of his room dressed in a black and white mixed colored T shirt and a brown chinose.He expected to see Disha because they normally come out at the same time but she wasn't there so he tried knocking but stopped as he didn't want to bother her

"oh, she's already here"he said as he entered inside and took his seat

"as you all know,you've been here for about a month now,that means your test is just around the corner...so like,read if you want to pass"Mr Benson said

"now,let's begin our lectures"he said

Time skip

they were returning to their various dorms after the lecture

"hey Disha,you sure woke up early today"Carl said

she was dressed in a white button handless shirt together with a white short skirt .She didn't reply and darted away to avoid looking at his eyes then went to her dorm

"hmm"Carl said

and the same thing happened later that day and again and again till the following day.Disha was coming back from getting some things from the supermarket dressed in a brown sweater that was tucked in her long black skirt when

"Disha,there you are"Carl said walking towards her

she tried turning around and walking faster but

"where do you think you're going?"he said leaning in to her and and pressing her onto the wall

"why are you ignoring me?"he said

"leave me alone"she said looking away from his eyes again

"why can't you look at me?"he said
