"Would you please stop? D-Daisy!"
I yelled at her. She quit and stood up against me. I clutch her arms tightly. We are fifteen centimeters closer to each other now.

The moment is so mesmerizing and fills a lot of feelings. I desire to kiss and hug her at this moment but I can't, I just can't do it without her consent. I don't even know how she feels for me.

"Speak" Her face is red, and she's breathing so hard. I didn't get what to let out, glimpsing her reaction while she said that one word and stared at me with her rheumy eyes.

"Daisy, please! please! Relax." I requested her.

She sighed. "Fine," she said looking down at her feet. I don't have words to explain her. I became numb for some moment. Why am I feeling this way? I never felt for Ciri my ex. Even though we were nearly two years in a relationship.

"Am sorry. don't be mad at me" I say.

"Let's get out of here. Please? I feel suffocated" she said releasing her from me. I followed her down. She is walking faster. I feel like I made a blunder instead of making her pleased.

"Steve" Breaking the silence she turns towards me. " Does the music mean you a ton" I hang around for a moment. She's still pausing for me to answer her. "Be genuine" she told me before I spoke out something.

"Perhaps, this isn't something crucial for you to know," I say.

"We are friends, Steve" her voice raised.

I honestly want Daisy to know about my past but I don't want her to be involved in my grief, in my fucking messy life. Where everything is oppressive, where she could never find happiness, where she deserves more than me.

There is a hush between us. we are sitting on the vacant ground on the campus. She's watching over the pennant, the outdoor event this weekend which is held every six months and yearly twice.

"Will you join us? It will be fun." I explained to her about the event.

"I don't think I can, but I'll make an effort"

I smile looking at her. She seems relaxed now, however, I want her to be. She's something that makes her perfectly different from others.

"You should, we'll be delighted if you join us," I paused. She was still eyeing the pennant, so reminded her about the group we three made.

"Our new friendship. trio right!"

"Ahh," She groaned and glanced at me with her Engaging eyes

"But friends share things, Mr white Shirt with a tiny brain"

We giggled. There was a hasty quietness when our eyes met each other and we both felt the atmosphere.
I barely breathe when she stares at me the way she does momentarily and looks away pretending she doesn't feel anything particular with me.

I saw David moving toward us, holding a paper bag (Stella's) written in cursive letters. I hope he gets some tacos for me cause I haven't gotten tacos in the last two weeks and unfortunately, my belly is empty from this morning.
