His Unexpected Goodbye

Chapter 5

~~~

I thought to myself— How could I say no? My heart was beating rapidly but it knows what it wants, what it felt from earlier wasn't pressure, it was excitement. I was enthused, and so was my heart, I'd say yes. Repeatedly if needed, I'll always say yes to someone, especially Korics. With that, I said yes.

This is the first time someone in the friend group suggested bringing a companion to the Sapient University yearly fundraiser event, and if ever this happened a few years ago, I'm not sure if things would go like how they are right now. Korics might have asked someone else if this happened way back, and I'll obviously go with a different person too.

Time sure flies fast when you're either happy or busy, and this week went by not so smoothly. The weekend is approaching, and so is the S.U fundraiser event. Sapient University's school board and founder has high expectations, especially in this year where there are a lot of curveballs thrown our way.

I sat on my bed, I took my laptop to check the school's Facebook page, specifically the post that sparked numerous gossips and fake news. When I looked back, it was gone. The post got deleted and the page itself, held private and only admins and accepted members who are Sapients could post.

Until now I'm still clueless of whoever posted that, Mister Jimenez contacted his private lawyer but never gave any update or information regarding the issue, to the board, even to me. I guess, I have to wait then. I don't want this to get in the way of the event, notably that within a few days it's finally the S.U fundraiser. Everything is entrenched, nothing could ever change that, not even a troll trying to ruin the program.

It's 10:45 p.m, I have nothing better to do and I can't bring myself to sleep so I decided writing that novel I'm currently working on. I haven't told much about it, but I love to write, it has always been a dream to become a well-known author and despite being busy due to hectic schedules in school, I find time to do the things I'm passionate about.

I started writing when I was in elementary, I write romantic stories because I always lived up to the thought that there is love in everything. Growing up while believing in fairytales, I would daydream of meeting my own prince charming. Someone who's handsome, has great sense of humor, smart, and dashing! Now that I mentioned it, I'd always picture Korics. If I'm not that hesitant to admit, I wish I have the guts to say I want him to be that prince charming.

What the hell am I saying?

After writing two chapters and editing the old ones I wrote, there was still much time and I can't sleep. Then I remembered Vry, of course! I called her immediately because I know she's still awake. There are even certain days that she'd hardly sleep at all!

"Rox? Why? Is there anything wrong?" I can hear her yawn on the other line, I giggled a bit. She's sleepy, but I know she'd make time. "Can't sleep?"

"Yes and I'm bored." I said while slowly standing up to get my jacket and my wallet. I know she's going to say yes anyway. "Wanna hang out at the coffee shop? My treat."

"I was going to say no..." There was a pause of silence. "...but I can't pass on that tempting offer. See you there Rox!" 

I wore my jacket, it's usually cold at these hours, I even wore socks. I took my phone and my wallet, my parents and Nugget are already asleep so I kind of sneaked out. The coffee shop isn't that far so I don't need to take any vehicle with me, it's just a walking distance. When I got there, Vry is already seated on a table far from the counter.

I waved at her. "Vry! Hey." I sat in front of her, the waiter was still serving the other costumers so we had to wait our turn. "You got here first, huh. How?"
