Be With You

05

Two weeks has been passed and I busy myself with school stuff and hanging out with my friends. I took Quen's advice...

To take everything slow.

He told me that I'm the only one who can decide what I'm going to do...

and I want to do this.

My car is fine now which is a good thing since Kate was offering me her old one and to be honest I don't want that.

As a second child, I always get the second hand things. Yung mga nagamit na niya. Eto na nga lang kotse ang isa sa mga gamit na para sakin talaga.

I would rather use this old one.

"Hey, another drink and treats from your secret admirer." Lili announced and chuckled after she put a bottle of apple juice and cream cheese bread on my table. I was busy doing some painting when she arrived.

Tinignan ko ang dala niya. Weird. It has been two weeks since I started to receive anonymous gifts, drinks and foods. Walang nakasulat kung kanino 'yon galing but I have a hunch about it.

I just want to confirm first before I talk to him.

Pursing my lips to hide my smile when I put down my paint brush and grabbed the bottle of juice. The flavor was not my favorite but should I be picky? Ako na nga lang ang makakatanggap ng free treats. Naka sealed naman ito kaya feeling ko okay lang tanggapin.

"Who gave this to you?" I asked Lili, glancing at her before looking back at the bottle of juice again. Baka lang magkaroon pa ako ng clue or confirmation kung sino ang nagbibigay sakin.

"A freshman girl handed it to me and told me to give it to Kira Kim from fashion dept." she said, moving her two fingers to emphasize my name. "You have an idea who's that secret admirer?"

I put down the bottle of juice again and held my paint brush. "I...have no idea." mas okay sigurong malaman ko muna kung sino 'yon bago ako magsabi na kilala ko talaga.

"Grabe ka ha, boys are coming for you." Lili teased, getting her own canvas and painting materials for our next class. "Just a friendly reminder, kaka ghost lang sayo nung...who's that asshole again?" she laughed mockingly. "be careful of choosing your next."

"Uhm, no." my lips form a small smile. "I'm going to take it slow this time."

"Ohhh, change kira..." she giggled and diverted her attention to her canvas.

I continue to paint again, adding some details to it. When I finished and was satisfied with the outcome I took a photo of it and posted on my instagram stories with the caption.

"slow-moving."

and not minutes passed when some of my friends reacted to it.

ysayeo: parang ako today lol

janejin: So pretty!

sheenhey: make me one pls :(

Nag reply naman ako sa kanila isa-isa. My smile widened when my phone beeps for another notification.

and it was from Quen Jung.
