DEAR YOU

9

----

STAR FROM AFAR

Schedule for the day has gone to an end, everyone is eager to go home as they are all tired mentally and physically.

“You go ahead Lauren” saad ni Ashley sa kanya.

“As usual hmp, be sure to come home safely girl” sambit nito sa kaibigan bago umuna.

Ashley went to their meeting place to meet Ethan. They are not meeting up for the event, but they managed to meet up for their practice in Archery.

“You sure you really know how to play?” tanong ni Ethan habang inaayos ang set for where the arrows will be stuck unto 30 cm far away from them.

“You sure you won’t regret asking me that?” she confidently asked him back.

Napangisi nalang ang lalaki dahil hindi lumilipas ang isang araw ng hindi sya nasusurpresa ng babae.

She really is unlike other girls, you lucky dufus – He thought

He watched her stance, and he admits that from it alone he knew that the girl is not lying or showing off with saying that she does know Archery.

She stealthily aimed for the target and he saw how her eyes are breaming with calmness at the same time passion and as she released the arrow it was stuck on the range of 10.

She glanced at him with a smile, a playful smile that made him shook his head.

“Okay then, looks like I’ll have to pick up my pace then milady” natawa naman si Ashley sa saad ng lalaki.

Not so far away was Zach together with Lorenz heading to a nearby coffee shop, he was stopped from walking when he saw Ethan and Ashley on the other side, smiling and running.

“I’m starting to doubt if you really are prepared for the consequence” He was flustered when Lorenz spoke and walked ahead inside the shop.

He can’t hide in his eyes that he is indeed not prepared by it.

On the other hand, Ashley is currently chasing Ethan since Ethan ate her self-baked strawberry cupcake.

“Yaaaaaaaa! Come back here! You shall payyy!!” sigaw ni Ashley habang hinahabol si Ethan.

“I said I didn’t mean to eat it! I thought it was free of service like they usually do here!” Depensa ni Ethan habang tumatakbo pero dahil napagod na ito ay tumigil nalang sya pagtakbo dahilan para masapak sya ni Ashley.

“You really have to chase me like that?!” Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Ethan at naghahabol ng hininga gayun din si Ashley.

“That was supposed to be my energizer hmp!” She answered while lying down the green grass.

Malinis ang damo, halatang alagang alaga ng may ari. Hindi pinapayagan na ang gagamit ay hindi nakapaa lamang dahil malinis naman ang paligid.

Napagpasyahang humiga nalang din ni Ethan sa damo, both of them stared at the night sky. Yes, it’s already dark and stars are being visible one by one.

“It’s almost 7pm” he uttered. They rented the place until 7pm for their practice.

“It’s funny how no one sees beauty and shows no appreciation of the stars since it only appears when everything is dark but most of the times, darkness just swallows the stars so how will others appreciate it” makahulugang saad ni Ashley dahilan para mapalingon sa kanya si Ethan na nakaupo nalang sa damuhan.
