Be With You

The fireworks event after the concert was the last time Quen and I had our moment. Both of us became busy during the last days of University Week even after the school event.

Since he's the head of the film department, star of the basketball team and top of his class, Quen has a very hectic schedule yet he didn't forget to leave a message to me just to remind me to have breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Kapag may extra time siya na alam kong pinipilit niya ay saglit na sumisilip siya sa class ko or sometimes text me to meet even just for a few seconds inside the school grounds.

But I sometimes forget how he was so popular with others, especially girls. I saw lots of posts of him or with him. Especially Tanya. Of course they are block mates and both part of the film department so I need to shrug it off. If I have to do this with Quen, I need to trust him. Like he said, there's nothing going on.

But to be fair, I never saw him being close with any girls unlike before. It's like there's an invisible line between him and them.

Hindi ko alam kung ako lang o naiisip ko lang.

But he was popular. Lot's of girls are head over heels to him. I should know that by now and not be bothered by it.

I just busy myself with school stuff and my work. Speaking of that, I already had a lot of progress making the gown and finished with the first one.

Kind of satisfied with it, especially because my client loved the first creation I did.

"On your second dress now? Wow that color was nice...it looks elegant."

I put down my measurements when Kate entered my art room and peek on what I was doing. I gave her a wide smile and nod.

"She really likes this color." I told her and showed her more of the fabric I was cutting. "Do you like this one?"

Kate stares at it for a second, touching it and checking if it compliments her skin. "Oh, maybe you can use this color on my dress too?"

A soft chuckle escaped my lips. "This color surely will look stunning on you."

"Yeah, right." She laughed a bit. Kate leaned her elbow on the table and checked my other stuff. My gaze darted to her hand while he was holding a folded paper looking like a pamphlet that caught my attention. "You're putting some raffles here?"

"What's that?"

"Hmm?" Kate gazed up at me and put down the pen he was holding. "Oh, this?" she said and showed me the pamphlet. I took it when she handed it to him. "A friend gave that to me, I forgot I have that in my car. Nakita ko lang kanina. You know what? That's a famous fashion school in New York, check it. Maybe you will get interested? Check their site, Kira. Maybe you want to apply..." Kate continues to explain while I'm looking and reading it.

It was really one of the famous fashion schools in New York. I've read about it lots of times.

"Kyle took one of that too, you know how he likes art too." She smiled at me and pointed to the list of programs they are offering. "You can take your masters there..."

I was silent for a minute while reading it. I don't have any plans after I graduate except that I want to pursue my degree. That's why I made my website to practice what I was studying for years.
