"So where do you want me to start? there are 3 floors, wanna start at the first? or start here then go down?" Veya asked.
"yeah uh let's just work from here I guess.." Gab answered.
Veya toured the second floor to Gab, showed what rooms they were in, and who's homerooms were those. she then tours Gab to the room where she fell on the floor, they both laughed.
they went into a room...
"This is our classroom before lockdown," Veya explained.
"Where did you seat?" he asked.
"here" Veya replies, she sat on the chair and reminisced those last days she was in the room. Gab took a photo of her candidly, Veya heard the sound of the photo and tried to get his phone, they were laughing and flirting in some way where Gab kept teasing Veya and putting his phone behind his back and Veya's arms were around his waist, that already looked liked hugging and as Veya held Gab's phone, She noticed she was holding his hand and her arms were around him. she looked into Gab's eyes, their face was close almost about to kiss, but they both swerved out of awkwardness.
"haha, keep the photo just don't post it," Veya said.
"Okay now to the next place, before they all come," Veya added.
They both walked down from the first floor to the second, with Gab behind her, she was explaining each and every room until they reached the court. where Gab's eyes lit up and challenged her with a 1v1 game of basketball.
"don't challenge me, I get too competitive" she exclaimed.
"ah yes, I'll go easy on you" He replied. holding the ball, veya stole it and shot a 3 pointer, and amazed Gab, the game kept going on and on, "okay last shot wins, your ball" he said. Veya tried to steal the ball from gab but she couldn't get it Until they both fell down and veya landed on top of Gab. And did the wild stare once again. "let's call it a tie" Veya said, Veya got up quickly and sat by their school's chapel, and Gab followed.
"I didn't know you can play ball?" He asked.
"yeah, I was taught...but it doesn't matter who taught me, I also have cousins who play basketball, so I play with them too, Majority of my family are boys, so I grew up with my boy cousins, and became boyish at some time," she explained.
"the person who taught you basketball...uh is this someone who studies here?" he asked
"Yeah, uh he played basketball at every break and I would watch him up there *she points*, I would watch him up there for 2 mins then go back to class, also when we broke up, I would watch him there too, and when he sees me, I- I don't know just ignore maybe," she added
"but we broke up, it's been a year. But it was a tough year, my aunt died the same day we broke up. he hates me, he thought cheated when in fact this girl liked him spread rumors, and caused him to break up with me. but yeah I don't, hate him, sometimes I think it's just he wasn't able to be felt loved before because of his past and stories, sometimes I think that I should too hate him for what he has said to me, about me to others, but I have no idea what is stopping me. okay sorry for blurting things out, jeez." she said
"no it's fine, I get it, at least you got his skills too, and it's his loss, that he lost you... I mean damn, I wouldn't blurt out to the world that we broke up just because I was mad, maybe just keep it in and you know let it go, and I think the reason why you don't hate him, because you are such genuine nice person, so yeah... don't sweat it," he said.
" I think you would crush him in basketball too," he added.
"haha, he knows my moves... he taught all of them," she added.
'your creative, right? you can do creative shots." he replied jokingly
"Thanks," she said.
"sure," he said.
"Okay no, let's take a picture, I finally got to play again, but it's with you," he added. They took a picture, they both smiled walked back to the room, and waited for the other members to come. A few hours later the team came and started their meeting, they had food drinks and did a lot of brainstorming. Veya and gab kept laughing talking about the funny things they both have in common, veya kept taking photos on Gab's phone while he did the same to hers too.
they both had extremely fun with the meeting and took photos with the newspaper group, some turned their screen savers to the group photo, some printed it on their Instax printer. Until the whole group convinced Veya and gab to take a photo and print 2 copies for them, they did and the whole newspaper group was jumping for joy! They were having butterflies in the stomach, they were too happy. gab got one photo and Veya got one too, she placed it in her phone case for safekeeping, and Gab so too, they were all jumping and raging. While gab and Veya were both acting confused until they just laughed hard about the reaction of the group.
It was going home time and everyone was saying goodbye, Gab asked Veya to ride again home with him because it was dark, cold, and getting late, Gab didn't want to make her wait for her dad to get home, so gab brought her home and lend her a jacket, she was so surprised how such a gentleman he was to her, they both got in the car and talked in the car leading Mang Dong to her home.
"Hey, wanna get dinner first? we can eat at the trunk you know, we can sit at the pickup?" he asked.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"yeah, I mean its dinner time, Mcdonald?" he asked
"sure" she answered.
They both ordered Mcdonald's, drove to a parking slot, and ate on the truck, gab was so prepared, he had a blanky and a lamp for their dinner in the trunk. They both ate but when Veya looked up, Gab saw her eyes lit when she saw the stars. gab smiled with her not looking.
"you like stars?" he asked.
"love actually" she answered.
"astrophile.." he added.
"excuse me,?" Veya replied she thought it was mean
" no, no... it means a person who loves stars." he replied.
"oh, sorry I thought," she said.
"it's okay," he answered.
" I read it, from this astrology book... Astrophile" he added.
"guessing you like space too?" she asked.
"love actually, never got the time to look up though, so busy with reputation and school, training. I forgot how to look up and name stars out of the figment of my imagination," he answered
"What did you name one?" she asked.
"I Can't remember though, I can name one now if you want," he suggested
"oookay" she was interested.
"that one below you, Ill name that Clairesse," he said.
"ow," veya answered, blushing on the inside, "that's sweet" she added.
Veya and Gab finished their meals and brought her home, she got home and tried to remove the jacket Gab lend her, "here btw thank you so much for today the dinner and you bringing me to the meeting and back home." she said. "no, your welcome...I can do this every meeting, not an offer, I'm willingly going to do it, and no keep the jacket for a while." he answered
"you sure?" she asked.
"we're seeing each other next week," he said.
"Okay then, thank you again so much for everything tonight," she said.
she walks in the gate while, thinking she should have kissed or hug him like in movies, but not movie kiss lips to lips like cheek to cheek, manners bye stuff..." oh screw it" she said under her breath. "Gab?" she called him she walks back to him, pulls down her mask and kisses him on the cheek, and said goodnight, and smiled away.
she went up to her room, lay down on her bed, and smiled.
