Lover [Book 1]

18

The altered disposition of Keyin, is far from what I remembered of her. We're both busy, and I understand our tangled schedules; but — She's my best friend! I assume the closeness would stay as it is, even if we do not have time for each other.

I lie at the couch, currently wasting electricity; by turning on the television, even if I do not intend to watch.

I'm just so confuse right now. She seemed a lot peculiar a while ago, and her eyes?
Her eyes speak volume, but it doesn't pertain to me; I am sure of that. She was distant from me, distracted, and something chiefly bothers her. I want to ask her, I wanna check up on her from time to time; because I am her best friend.

But how would you help someone, who doesn't want to be helped?

I tried initiating conversations after conversations, but nothing happened. She stayed for 10 minutes approximately, and went out her way. Yuxin dropped me off after an hour, because she has a lot of work to do.

I miss my best friend.

I wanna tell her everything, and anything that I am feeling right now. I wanna vent out, and rant about my life. But most importantly, I want her to know that I am starting to like Yuxin; and that I should've listened to her.

I am not sure how Xin captured my heart, but one thing's certain; I am starting to fall for her.

Out of the blue. My phone suddenly vibrated from my pocket, and message popped in my screen.

From: Miss Liu

We have a team building tomorrow. Wanna come?

(P.S: I want you to be there.)

I do not know what to reply, but I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Quiet there, will you?!" A voice resonated along with a thump on my wall, obviously from my grumpy neighbor.

"Quiet there, will you, meh." I blabbered, smiling to myself.

Of course, xoxo.

I shut my phone, and hid it under my pillow. I'm kind of paranoid at the moment. And my heart believes that Xin could like me, dang it. I hate to be assuming infatuations, but come on. When you like someone, you instantly get the feeling that they somehow like you back! That little hope spiraling your mind into puzzles and never ending what-ifs — To add a fact: We look cute together.

I'm her pretend girlfriend, why not make it real?

For the first time in forever, I held my purse; fixed myself — and went out to buy some stuffs for tomorrow. I don't usually do this, and I have a bad habit of coming unprepared. But this time, it's all odd and perplexing; I like someone, and I am going to better myself for her.
