after that argument, Steph started to avoid me. Every time I try to talk to her. She always refuses to give her time.
I hate feeling like this. So one time I waited for her after her class. When she saw me, she quickly walks away but I ran to her as fast as I could.
Athena: Steph! Steph can we talk?
Steph: I have class
Athena: it's your last subject right? I know your schedule.
Steph: there's a change on it
Athena: Steph, come on. I can't take this anymore. Can we fix this now?
Steph: fix what? We're okay.
Athena: I want us to be back
Steph: us? We're friends. And I think this is normal for friends..not to talk all the time. so don't be exaggerated. I have to go.
It's been 3 days. And I miss her, it sucks.
Athena: fine! if she doesn't want to be friends with me, then deal with it, Athena. besides, you can eat alone.
I went to the nearest 24-hour mart. And grab a cup of noodles. I'm good now, I'm having a good time with that noodles, but why is it that I'm still thinking about her.
Athena: arrrgghh! Stop it!
Jasper: are you okay?
Athena: oh God, you scared me
Jasper: am I that scary? Coz I think, it's you who was fighting with that noodles.
Athena: funny
Jasper: Hey I'm just kidding.
Athena: why are you here?
Jasper: why am I here? Of course, I bought something to eat, and this is a store for everybody.is there any problem?
Athena: no 🤨
Jasper: you're alone?
I look into my side which is a vacant seat just to tease him
Athena: I think?
Jasper: (smiled) you're having a bad day,
Athena: (exhaled)
Jasper: I'm a good listener
Athena: good for you
Jasper: I mean, you can share it with me. The reason why you're in a bad mood
Athena: it's nothing
Jasper: is it your boyfriend?
Athena: I have no boyfriend
Jasper: 😌
Athena: why are you smiling?
Jasper: huh? I'm smiling? No, I'm not,
Athena: I caught you already
Jasper: okay fine, I'm smiling because I can't believe that you have no boyfriend. with that pretty face you have?
Athena: pretty face? 😌 that's funny
Jasper: you're pretty
Athena: okay fine, but it's not my problem...
Jasper: Then what's your problem?
Athena: I miss somebody close to me. And I hate myself coz it was all because of me. I hurt that somebody and now we don't talk.
Jasper: oh, so it's a friend I guess
Athena: a special one
Jasper: well, I have a very good friend before, I lost him coz I was a jerk. And he hates me now and I deserve that. Yet I tried to reconcile with him. But he pushes me away many times. im just human, I know he's hurt but I am too, so I promise to myself. The last time apologies to him. he made me look like a stupid obsessed gay in front of our friends.so I stopped being good and we became enemies. until now. some people are worth fighting for..but some are not.so if you think that friend of yours is worth it. then do everything just to bring that person back into your life.
Athena: Wow, I never expected you to be this serious, you surprise me.
Jasper: really? Hehe.
Athena: yeah,
