I'm all ready for today and lunches are prepared for later. This time, I made a lot of crepes. "Everything"-has a lot of meaning within 1 person. I don't know if this is the meaning; just one simple thing is already everything. That's how I see my friends. Whoever they are, how they would live as them, it's already enough for me. Just like him.
I'm here, sitting in our usual place. Everyday, I get this unique exciting feeling of always being happy. Way too happy. That feeling when you can't get enough of whats happening, that feeling when you're with someone or everyone you want to be with. Like an endless world with nothing else more.
A family."Sup."--
He greeted me with a low voice while holding onto my shoulders. As I stared into his eyes, it looked lonely. It's like, it's saying 'sorry' or 'don't leave me', every sign that leads to never ever leave him behind or else.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing."--
"Did you bring any papers that we could use?"
"Yeah. I brought extra just in case you and I make mistakes."--
"Let's start?"
"Do you know how?"--
"I don't know. But I would like to try and draw you."
"I'll draw you, too."--
"Why are we gonna draw each other by the way?"
"You said so? But I would also like to keep the drawing of you. No pictures, no cheats. I like to see you draw me in a piece of paper and remember me whenever you look at it. Don't forget who I am. Something like that."--
"Look. I know we can't take pictures of each other but I can't draw you well."
"It's fine with me. We will draw each other while actually drawing each other. I'll seat in front of you and you'll do the same thing."--
"Have you drawn anyone else?"
"I have drawn a lot of people but there are those people who would break me down when I show my drawings. I had to stop."--
"Draw me and I draw you."
"Let's start."--
"Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"--
"If I.. If I wasn't able to finish the drawing, tomorrow, can you come early? I know it's, this my first time asking you but, after tomorrow, I'm going back to school. And I also need to prepare."
"I'll try. I'll sit here and you, you sit there. We will get a a better view of each other. I hope you finish drawing me soon."--
I took pencil, and an eraser. I looked at him like his the one in this world. I took a deep breath and stared at the empty paper. I started to imagine him inside it and my heart started to hurt. I closed my eyes, looked up and then, I started to draw. I started with the structure of his posture, the head, and the body. I didn't include his lower body though. It was, maybe, too much.
His face is beautiful, his lips, his eyelashes. Everything I see, I hope, it wouldn't go away. My mind spaced out and thought of these horrible thoughts of him leaving and decided to proceed what I should be doing. I drew out the shape of his face sidewards facing down at his paper. I can see that he's really good. He's done with my posture and all it needs is me in it. His lips were hard to draw, kinda skipped it for a moment then continued with his hair. Is hair wasn't that bad. I finished it within like, 4-7 minutes? I came back with his lips. I don't know why I'm freaking out but I want it perfect. I want to keep it. His slender body, his hands, a well fitted shoulder. A sweater with a designed look-a-like school uniform. His neck looked so smooth. No scars, nothing at all. His eyelashes are really long. 1 inch and it it's like he's wearing an eyeliner. Pierced ear, black earring, really? Just now? Only now? I notice he's wearing one?
