For Lily, it's always Theo-Ever since they were kids, she knew they'd end up together. Despite Theo's lovers, she knew he'd circle back to her-until she got tired and Theo is now starting to notice her absence. Alexa p...
I always throw "thank you" and "sorry" like it's confetti since I admit that I am a people-pleaser. I have always been wondering if I am overbearing to other people. I placed Shan's iced americano and he immediately took a sip of it while his eyes were still on the CODAL, a smile escaped from my lips.
It is my way of saying 'thank you for helping me today' and I know he knows it. He once called me out of saying "thank you" and "sorry" too much in one day so I just at least bought him coffee instead of saying those words.

We meet at 7 am at Tealive, which is near our school, to review specifically me who needs his help since all he does is study while I mix being a scatterbrain with studies. As soon as 9:45 am struck, we made our way to school since we had a class together for Criminal Law at 10 am. To get to our own building, we needed to pass by the other college buildings so we needed to walk faster.
"Trilly!" My head immediately faces the voice that I know who's from and he's the only one who calls me Trilly for 3 Li's (Li-Ly-Lee).
Theo is with his architect friends—Juno, James, and some that I am not familiar with. I sensed that Shan also stopped to wait for me so I only waved at Theo and immediately caught up with Shan's pace.

Our class ended at 10:30 pm in which the professor made his exit in time. I immediately stood up and stretched, it had been a really long day and I survived everything so far.
"Want a ride?" Shan asked nonchalantly. I know that he just asked me this question as a courtesy but we both know that he is dying to go straight home since he has a remote job as a customer service rep at midnight.
I just smiled, "Nah, I already have a ride. Thank you, Shan!" And I immediately reach for the exit door so that he could not insist on giving me one knowing that he would ask the second time.
I reach out for my phone and saw that I received a few messages from Theo for the past 4 hours.

I immediately went outside the building and indeed, he's sitting and leaning in one of those benches beside the plants outside. He's already looking at me as if he's anticipating me walking out anytime. I gave him my confused look.
"You should've gone home first," I said as soon as I reached him.
Instead of answering me, he slid his right hand to reach for my bag's sling to get it from me and went ahead towards the parking lot.
"You okay? I didn't force you to wait! Don't blame me!" I defended myself. Why is he angry? Is he angry? He looks angry—he seems cold. As if we planned on going home together today. Law school's schedule is different. Even law students stay in the school grounds 12 midnight max.
We're still in no speaking term when we got inside his car, "Why are you angry? You should've consult to me first before deciding. That is why I never mention about us going home together when I got into law school."
"I'm not angry. I'm just thinking."
My right brow arched, "You? Thinking?" I joked but it seems like it was not one of those times that I can throw a banter or two, "Okay... Gee. I hope you're okay though. You can still rant to me, you know I'm all ears," I said and search my bag for my iPad to review a little while waiting for him to open up.
