Ribbed

Doesn't matter what I feel, Doesn't matter what I see.

I walk towards the table where everybody sat. I look around their familiar faces, Dianne's eyes locked in her phone, smiling. Maria's satisfied laugh for teasing David and Alfonso, Nicole focused on devouring her food, Akina and monique laughing and talking. We also have a Jay who is staring deep into my soul. "Didn't treat you right? right?" He said, causing everybody to look and stop whatever their doing. "oh, lover girl is here" mocked Maria. I jokingly rolled my eyes and sat beside Monique, I looked around and saw 2 missing. I was about to open my mouth and ask where Kim and Christian was but speaking of them, They showed up. they walk towards our table, Mark was smiling brightly while looking at her. Kim on the other hand was looking at my direction. I felt a warm hand pat my back, it was Kier's. "hey don't stare at other people, it's rude" he said, I smiled and chuckled but I couldn't hide what I was feeling. "It was nice to see him smile like that again." I said to myself. They sat down, Kim sat beside me while Christian sat beside kier. "Sorry guys for making you wait, I picked up kim" Christian said. "Nobody asked" Maria said.

Maria, Jay, Dianne and Angel were seniors and they're 2 years older than us. We all met through student councils and youth seminars, since we were the "Next aspiring Leaders" Our parents are rich business owners and everyone seemed like a family now. our parents met through business meetings and seeing how they're all parents, they decided to build a school for their kids and since we're their children, We were the next generation next to them. Somehow the seminars made us all close and made us like a family, since out of everyone its just us who truly understands each other. although new kids come, we still remain in tact. We've been through ups and down, everyone had something with another but we still chose to put it aside and stay as close as we are. "Nobody asked" Maria said. "haysss, I won't let anyone ruin my amazing mood today" Mark mockingly said. Everyone has love and hate relationship with each other, mostly hate, kidding. I then ate my lunch and quickly said my goodbyes, "Aww, why do you always have to go first?" Monique said. "haha, I still have a class to go to" I replied. "Since when have you started going to class?" Christian teased. it made me smile, then I left.

I lied.

I didn't have class until 3 and it's only 2:01, I just wanted peace and I just want to be at ease. I always go to the football field every time I feel heavy, sad and stuff. It became a habit of mine to exclude myself so I can think and let everything go. I arrived at the field and I sat down, I grabbed my phone and was plugging my earphones ready to listen to some music. I suddenly felt someone's presence behind me, then I felt the weight of someones hand placed in my shoulders. I immediately turned around to look and it was Kier, "Aha! I knew it! i've been theorizing that you actually don't have class and you're just excusing yourself from us" He said while his arm crossed. I laughed at him because he sounded so confident with his "theory" He looked at me with his hazel brown eyes and pat my head "ahaha, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not excusing myself to avoid you guys" I said. "I know" he said sitting down, He lied down the grass pulling me with him. "You should relax" he said while turning his head to mine, I could feel him staring at me while I stare at the clouds. I took a deep breath before answering him, "I was but you came confirming your "theory" I laughed hard. "its nice to see you laugh like that" He said, The smile left my mouth and heaviness took over me again. "hey, are you ok? sorry for saying that all of a sudden" He said. "It's ok, even I miss it." I stood up afraid of what topic might open, "I have to go now, I really do have class" I said. I turned around, grabbed my bag and was about to leave when I Kier held my wrist making me stop from walking. "Yv, I-I'm sorry, to make it up why don't we get ice cream on saturday?" he said, I saw him being genuine and replied "haha, it's really fine kier. however, I'm not gonna pass on that ice cream" "3:00 at luzan?" "deal! see you later, kier."

Kier's POV

There's this girl, beautiful brown hair. Her eyes that takes you places and that smile, she was always unique in a way you can't compare her to anyone. Once you get a taste of her, no one can replace her. she's irreplaceable, she's responsible, strict but she knows how to have fun. You'll never get bored with her, she knows how to break a room filled with silence and she's someone who gives advice and is always willing to listen and help. she's like a mother and a sister to everyone, but I always wonder we see these good things in her yet she her self keeps downgrading herself. No one in the world deserves her yet she chooses to believe that she's not. She shouldn't be treated like trash, she is precious, valuable. You have to earn her to get her and its a shot every guy would take, she's a full package type of girl. Yet she chooses to believe she isn't.

She used to be so confident about herself and suddenly she is not. She would always smile but suddenly she won't, She would always make excuses to excuse herself and go to the football field. I was lying when I told her I was "theorizing" because it was already a fact to me, I started to follow her last week and saw how she would cry out and space out in the field. I don't know what happened to her but I somehow feel in my heart that makes me want to understand her, I want her to know that we understand her, that she doesn't have to keep everything to herself. I wanted to see the beautiful smile that belongs to a beautiful girl again.

But I know I have to get closer to her, she would always avoid topics about her and would always change it about us or about classes. On Saturday will be different, I want her to feel an ease and at peace. I was walking out the field and saw Christian standing by the pole, "Hey, what were you doing there?" he asked. "Oh, I just saw a friend and decided to give company" I replied. Somehow I felt that I shouldn't be telling Mark that I was with Yv. "Where's Kim?" I said avoiding more question. "Ohh she left with Yv, they said they have "girls day" today" He said while scratching his neck, "How bout we have boys night, tonight??" I said.

And we left the football field.
