July 2011
You kept tapping letter after letter on your phone, forming one text message after another while you're pacing nonstop in the school hallway. Not even paying attention to a couple of eyes eyeing you like you're out of your mind. Well it's not like you're not about to if she keeps ignoring you. You could feel the sweat building up on your scalp with this heat and this girl.
"Why are you not answering?"
You complain under your breath as you keep pressing, and it's like she heard you because it was less than a second that your phone started ringing. It didn't take you any longer to press your phone on your ears.
"Where are you? Why did you skip class? You didn't even text me. Have you forgotten that we had long exam today? You missed it and you didn't even tell me you were planning on missing it. I could've made a better excuse than a headache. You should've said something, a morning call wouldn't hurt would it? Do you know-"
"Is this your way of saying that you miss me and that you're worried about me? Because if it is then, I miss you too Ciize, but I'm fine."
"Where are you?"
You ignore the confidence in her voice and her accusations because she's entirely right .but your not telling her that.
"I'm at home, I just woke up but come to think of it, you're the one who woke me up."
And you could almost see the glint of smirk on her lips as you heard this words.
"I'm coming over-"
"No, don't!"
You raise an eyebrow at her tone.
"Don't you raise that eyebrow on me. I told you right? I'm okay."
"Na-uh!"
"Don't push it, just believe me when I say that I'm alright. Attend your remaining class. Don't be late."
You let out a deep sigh, not realizing how long you were trying to hold in your breath. You look into the sky unconsciously, weighing out the consequences and checking upon your priorities. You nod and agreed.
"Okay, as long as you say that you're fine. I'll talk to you later?"
"Okay. I love you."
She ends the call before you could press her words and when it did, you knew what your priorities were.
So you find yourself towards their door. You knock three times before you call out her name. No one answers, not even her Mom or her sister so you try your luck in turning the knob. Seconds later, you're walking towards her bed room.
You're about to knock when you here whimpers and all groans inside the room so you barged in instead.
"Milk?"
You whisper towards the bed with a body covered in sheets. It suddenly turns and you see blue eyes staring at you.
"Ciize? What are you doing here? You skip class?"
You see the frustrations in her but you chose to ignore it. Instead, you walk towards her and touches her forehead with the back of your hand.
