Love and destiny

"Why do you want to know?" I furrowed my eyebrow, confused.

"Just because." He said.

"Well, I don't like anyone and I don't have a bf. I just want to make friends with everyone in my freshmen year." I smiled at him.

"That's good." He smiled back at me.

We walked in silence for a few minutes. It was not an awkward silence at all. It was so comfortable and I felt safe around him. 15 minutes later, I bid goodbye when I reached my home.

As I reached home, I quickly prepared my dinner and set up for my weekend routine which is binge watching drama series!!! This is my kind of life. Really peaceful and totally in my own world.

"Hmmm.. What episode was I watching last week? Was it Episode 8 or 9?" I said to myself.

Ping! The notification on my phone goes off.

One new messages from Aaron.

"What u doing, Alice?"

I typed back "Watching drama. Now, go away."

Ping! Oh My God, seriously? What does he want? Why is he bothering me now?

One new messages from Aaron.

"Which drama is it? Tell me. I'm bored. L"

I chuckled at his message and reply "It's a love story I don't know if you will like it or not. It's called Radio Romance."

One new messages from Aaron.

"Cool. I'm going to watch it. Which episode are u up to?"

"Episode 8. Now go away. I'm trying to focus" I typed back.

"Okay. I'm going to binge watching and catching up with you :P"

I chuckled at his message and shifted my focus back to my drama.

Fast forward and we became close to each other. Aaron and I chatted with each other a lot especially during late nights. My housemates, Ellie, Felicia and Nancy were quite surprised on why do I stay up late for. I usually slept early. Well, things change when you are in love. Wait? Am I really in love, though?

Our pair assignment project had already end but we can still keep in touch with each other. Maybe Aaron doesn't seem like a bad guy after all. Or maybe I am starting to fall for him.

"Aliceeeee. Earth to Alice" Kathy shook my shoulder.

"Huh. What?" I look at her, confused.

"Me and Jeremy were talking about how we going to hang out at the carnival this weekend. Are you in?" she asked.

"Count me in!" I grinned.

I always would like to try all the rides in the funfair carnival. The Ferris wheel, the roller coaster, bumpy cars and merry-go-round. If only I can go there with someone special, it would be an ideal date.

"Let's just keep on wishing, Alice." I mumbled to myself.

"Hmm what did u say, Alice?" Jeremy asked.

"Maybe she is thinking about Aaron" Kathy smirks.

"N...No... Why would I think about him?" I stuttered.

"Why are you so red and flushed then?" Jeremy laughed.

"Nothing! Just feeling hot here." I rolled my eyes.

Jeremy and Kathy really likes to joke around and made fun of me. Such a good friends they are. However, I am also confuse with my own feelings. Do I like Aaron? Or am I just comfortable with his presence as a friend. How am I supposed to figure it out? Maybe one day, I will figure it out.
