Rainy Kiss (the last drop)

Grab the Opportunity

Chapter 6

Zyra's POV

It's been a week since I had a conversation with Chris. How was he nowadays? He didn't contact me through SMS or through Facebook. Is he that busy with his life? He gave no news about his design too. I wonder why.

This is the last day that I'll be wearing this bandage. Yehey! The nurse is right, as soon as the wound would be totally healed, it will be more painful and itchy. So I must control myself. I must not do something for this to worsen.

I made my way to my building for lunch and right there, I saw my best friend waiting for me. I'm missing my girl bffs. They have been very busy with their love lives lately. We're not even together for lunch anymore. Good thing Gab has a class in my building after lunch. In that way, I can have someone to accompany me during meal time.

After eating our lunch, Gab went to his class and I was left alone in the open air.

I decided to draw and transfer my imaginations on paper because of boredom. Since I'm doing this once in a blue moon, I wasn't that good on drawing anymore. When was the last time I did this? Oh no! If this is the case, I should be practicing everyday. My mom is right. I should be utilizing my God-given talents because if not, these will be taken back from me and will be given to those who are in need.

And so I doodled many kinds of stuff in just a small size of paper. The words which are dominant in my drawing are 'Part-time jobs, Singing, Love, & School' the moment I want to add an image of a boy, a strong wind blew my drawing away from me. I chased the paper because the wind seems to be teasing me. I went up, I went down, I went left, I went right, but still I couldn't get my paper. As I was about to give up, a strong wind blew it again and this time it flew to someone's face. The paper covered the front part of the face. I was the one seen chasing the paper so I am obviously the owner.

As the person took the paper off, I was shocked by his presence. He looked at the drawing first before looking at me. He then smirked at me with that purple-colored braces he has. Oh no! Help me please. I shouldn't be staring at him like this. I shouldn't love the color on his teeth. I shouldn't be turned on by his body built too. No! I shouldn't like him again. Lately I've been losing sleep dreaming about the things that could have happened if my feelings for Rolph stayed.

"Part-time job? Singing?"

Oh no! Here he goes! I forgot to mention. He shouldn't be opening his mouth in front of me. He shouldn't talk in front f me too because his voice...his voice is...

"Zyra? Yoohooo!" He waved the paper in front of me to disturb me from my thoughts.

"Oh! Rolph! What are you..what are you doing here in our building again? Do you have classes here?"

He held my arm and brought me with him. We sat on the bleachers and he positioned himself in front of me.

"We need to talk." he paused a bit and looked at my paper for the second time.

"Actually, I'm not a landscape architect student anymore."

I thought he was just joking so I laughed at him. "What? Really? But why?"

"I just realized that my path really belonged here and not in architecture."

"So that's why you're frequent here. What's your new course now? Are you fine with your new environment? Aren't you having any second thoughts?"

He gave me a smirk and shook his head slowly.

"Nothing at all. I'm happy in this field anyway. No regrets so far."
