Ohm @ 7:25 PM
As the phone kept ringing, I shook my leg nervously. But no one picked up. I tried again, but the same happened.
I paced for a while, gesturing for Jay and Jean to get going. Once I've boarded the subway, I won't be able to get on the network.
Even if I miss the subway, I can take the next one after half an hour.
The phone rang, and I picked it up immediately.
[Hello?] A familiar voice rang into my ear, and I immediately grinned.
"Hi!" I said to walk to the side to avoid the hustle and bustle of the station.
[Sorry, I was rushing to the room to talk freely.] He said.
I smiled. "No problem."
[...]
"..."
The silence on the call is still comfortable. I am so nervous right now that I can hardly breathe.
[You are at the station?]
"Yeah, I... am... missing..."
[Missing?] A hoarse voice cuddled me through the phone.
"Ahem... So, how is your field trip going?" I asked. I heard a loud sigh from the other side.
[It's ok. I mean, I am used to it.]
"You guys go often?"
[Yeah, it's usual. Also, that's what I chose this major for.]
I laughed out loud. "Don't tell me you hate classes."
I heard a chuckle in response. [You got me.]
"That's another thing common between us, then."
[I am not surprised.]
"Are you saying I don't look studious?"
[Not at all.]
"Then how do I look?"
[Umm... Charming, sporty, and kind of Casanova.]
I let out a small laugh. "Casanova? But I am completely opposite to that."
[Bullshit! Don't tell me you never flirted with anyone.]
"Not before this..." I paused.
[...]
"Ummm... Poor signal. I'll call you tomorrow." I disconnected even before he could say anything.
Shit!
