Arzen's Pov

I'm just joking and playing around with that Freezer girl but I didn't expect to feel disappointed when I saw the box she was holding. I know that box because I saw Arch once, when he's arranging the things inside.

I don't know why I feel disappointed. Maybe because, surely she is the girl Arch told me that he really likes. The girl named Yreen. But maybe Yreen is her second name or first? Either of the two all I know is that I'm disappointed. Don't tell me I like her at first sight? Tssk.. she's right, I'm too old for her. She's just 17 and  I'm 21 for God's sake!

I messed my hair with my both hands, I'm confuse and annoyed. Why would I feel this way? Why would I feel disappointed? WHO am I to feel disappointed? So what if she's the girl Arch liked? I'm just playing around a while ago and I'm not serious right?

Savy's Pov

I arrive at home hungry and sleepy so I eat first before walking towards on my room.

Mom is probably at the market buying for stuffs we need in a week. My father is not here often because he found a job hours away even if you ride any kind of vehicles from here so he just rented a small apartment near on where he works. His job has a good salary so we can buy everything we need in a week.

Being an only child is boring you had no one to talk if you want to. But other people prefer to be an only child because they thought it's peaceful. Well, I won't argue on their opinions we have different perceptions in things.

I gently put the box Aunt Aeryn gave me in my study table and get the bracelet Arch gave me as a birthday gift.

After staring at it and caressing the engraved words, I wear it carefully.

It suits on my wrist. It matched on my fair white skin.

I opened the box Aunt Aeryn gave and there I saw all my favorite books and different kinds of coffee— the coffee is not yet mixed. It has a guide on how to mix it.

The book is six all in all and it has its different titles; (1) Life on purpose by Devotional, (2) When the Last Cherry Bloosom Falls (A Japanese story but translated in english), (3) Be Yourself: Discover the life you are meant to live by John Mason, (4) Pretended Okay But Wasn't (Unknown), (5) The Secret Life of the Mind: How your brain THINKS, FEEL, and DECIDE by Mariano Sigman, (6) What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A crash course on making your place in the world by Tina Seelig.

After checking the books I focused my attention on the coffee.

There is a name in the plastics and paper bags. It's four all in all , the names are; Caramel Macchiato, Espresso, Toffeenut Latte, and Spanish Latte.

I'm only familiar with Caramel Macchiato because this coffee is given by my secret admirer who puts on my locker back then and Espresso because this is my favorite. Espresso is the one I often drink because it helps reduce my fat and calories in my body.

And the last thing in the box is a small portrait that has a word written in a different language; ‘atesoraré nuestros recuerdos’  then a small calligraphy of my name under the words.

“You made this hard for me, how could I understand this? I'm not smart like you.” I ask Arch as if he's just in front of me.

I arrange all the books and coffee in my study table and place the portrait behind the picture frame that he gave me as a birthday gift which contains our photo in my bed side table.

I have lots of books to read yet I'm still not in the mood to read. The books that my secret admirer gave still haven't moved nor opened. I'm just so lazy to do it because I'm not in the mood but there's a time too that I like reading and I just keep on reading, I didn't care about other things and I don't want to be disturbed.

After taking a half bath and change into pajamas I lie on my bed and fall asleep.

In the middle of the night I wake up because I have a dream. It's about the guy— my secret admirer. It's a mix dream though and I can't understand it's confusing.

I fall back asleep at 3 am and woke up in the morning with a bad mood. It's already 10 am so I didn't bother to stand up from my bed, and I don't want to go to school right now because my body feel heavy. My nose hurts too, that scumbag Arzen!

At 12 noon mom entered my room.

“Savy you're awake, a while ago I went here to check you up if you will go to school but when I touch you, you have a high temperature so I didn't disturb you and just let you rest. How are you feeling? By the way what happened to your nose?”

“Ahh.. this?” I ask her pointing my nose even though her question is obvious.

I just need a little time because I am not good at reasoning and I found it difficult in finding a reason.

Mom nodded.

“Ahh.. I accidentally bumped in my comfort room's door last night because I'm still sleepy and... I–I forg— I didn't see clearly the door so... Yeah.” oh my, I'm nervous.. phew!

Mom look at me suspiciously, I hope she will buy my excuses. Oh God...

“Hm.. okay? Are okay now?”

“Yeah, yeah.” I nodded repeatedly, am I too obvious that I lied?

.....

My absences continued in one week, I'm starting to worry on my studies. I forgot that there is no Arch anymore who can do my assignments and will take notes of the lessons so that I have a lesson to study. Whenever I reminisce the moment Arch and I spent, there's a nostalgic feelings and I cried everytime it happens. The pain is still here in my chest and I can't do something to move on.

Chance's Pov

It's been a week since Savy started not attending her class, she's often absent and I can't deny that I miss her. I wanna told her all the things I knew and the things that remains mysteries to her. But I didn't have the chance, she's so rude to me. But I can't blame her though, because we're not close maybe she acted that way because she's not comfortable being with someone or entertain someone she didn't fully know yet.

“Vanth, what are you thinking? Mind sharing it?” one of my friends ask, Brion Villaren.

“Ahh... Nothing I just thought I forgot something.”

I acted as if checking under my chair and inside my bag to show them I'm telling the truth though I don't really forgot something, it was just my excuses.

My friends are all fan of gossips, they like minding others business. And I won't let them know my one and only secret left in me, and that is my feelings for a girl.

“That smirk hides something, come on just tell us bud.” Ember Castro laughed.

I didn't notice that I smirked, so to cover up my embarrassment I laughed instead.

“Tssk.. the three of you, mind your own businesses.”

I stood up and carried my bag.

“Hey, where are you going? Wait us you d1ck!” Raht shouted.

A/N: HAVE FUN READING, LOVE LOTS COFFIES!!
