Tanabata No Monogatari

Chapter 4- What's wrong with me?

Anyway, here's chapter 4... This is still Jonas' POV. I'll have two POVs each for the two. :) I really hope that people would enjoy reading this story of ours. :) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay... So I got her number, yeah. I figured. I've been exchanging text messages with her since I got her number and facebook. I became really comfortable with her and all, I also asked for her help If I should forget about my ex and whatnot. I feel like someone else has her heart now. And I really can't calm myself down. 

I woke up the next day, a smile forming on my lips, because I know I would be able to talk to her again. I did my daily routine, ate breakfast with everyone at home and relaxed. 

Then, my phone vibrated. 

I quickly retrieved it from my pocket thinking it's from her. 

My face fell when I read the message. 

>> Good Morning Holy Order, please attend the 2pm and 9pm CW (Crag Wars) today for the Golden Age Event. 

Unfortunately, it's not from her. I feel uneasy. I started listening to songs fromo my phone, but it's not working. I debated on texting her first, or waiting for her to text me first. 

Oh the hell with it. I texted her first. 

>> Good Morning, Ms. TL. 

I waited. I looked at the clock. 11am. She should be awake by now. 

I waited again. I got bored. As usual. I get bored once I don't get to talk to her. So I went out and went to the Computer Shop to play and kill time till she replied. I played and lost track of time. I looked at the bottom of the screen. It indicated it was already 4:30pm. SHIT. 

I was about to reach for my phone when It vibrated. 

My heart stopped for a millisecond. Then my friend, Kurt, asked me to boost him. Which I did. 

My eye caught the yellow chat on the chatbox. 'yonna is now online.' Here I was, fawning over her. Great, I was after two girls of the same guild. -_______-

I suddenly remembered that I received a message. My heart skipped another beat. 

>> Hi, sorry. I just got out from school. 

Oh yeah. Today was a weekday. She has school of course. 

Then my eyes bulged out of my eyesockets. SHE FREAKING REPLIED!!!! I felt like screaming and jumping at the shop. But, I just smiled to myself for the essence of 'cool'

I exchanged messages with her while I was playing. I told her former stories of mine, killing enemy races. She seems to enjoy it, because she's laughing with me. 

***-------------------------

Two months have passed, and, I've decided that I'm going to try and court her. 

Today, as she told me, she was in Lucban, Quezon having her school camping trip. 

Naturally, you would say, we just met in the internet, why the hell would you want to court her? I've seen pictures of her. I'm speechless really. She's funny and awkward sometimes. 

We were still exchanging messages while they were resting. Poor girl had sore eyes. I had a vision of taking care of her while she was sick. I smiled at the idea. 

And, do NOT call me gay. But I feel giddy when talking to her. She's chubby and I don't really care. I just hope that this courting thing would work out. I'm really nervous. Maybe I should think about this first. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. (Excuse me to those who are eating.) 

>> FINALLY~! We're heading home~

They're already heading back? Then I noticed it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. 

Something isn't right... I tried to reach for my phone to reply to her text message. But my phone suddenly disappeared into thin air! 

Is that even possible?

A shadow stretched towards me. . . . . 

And I jolted awake. I was sweating like I ran a freaking marathon, swam a damn river and boiled into hot water. . .  Wait... Am I kidding? I can't even swim... That's weird... What's wrong with me? 

It was just a dream... I still haven't replied to her message. 

>> Hi, sorry,  I dozed off. -Me

>> It's fine. You tired?

As long as I'm talking to you, I won't be. Of course I won't tell her that. 

>> A little. But I fell asleep so, I'm fine. 

Should I tell her now? Or I should think this over... Since she's a Japanese National, she must be from a rich family... Me? I'm from a normal, average family, a Philippine National. I have to think this ten times before I take action. 

What if she said yes? What would happen? No, no! It's impossible for her to like me... People said I'm not handsome. I bet she has very high standards. But I have to try. I mean, how will you  know if you don't try it, right? 

The next day, I woke up, feeling refreshed, nervous, and hungry. I think half of my hometown can hear my stomach. I decided to go down and make myself some breakfast. 

"Kuya~ let's eat!" My sister said. That's odd... Usually, I'm the earliest to wake up. 

Then, I realized it was already 10am! I overslept! I nodded to my sister and we ate breakfast. My phone vibrated again and I kept eating. If I check that message, whatever I ate might come back out. 

I'm really nervous. I slept really late because I kept thinking about courting her. Picturing her with me, in my arms, happy. 

"Kuya, you're drooling over your food." Caroline told me. 

"Caroline, can you get kuya some water?" 

"Sure." She got up, and poured two glasses of water. 

"Thanks." I said and chugged the water. I  never noticed I was thirsty. 

I guess I'm so nervous about courting her. Maybe I should just play for a while to keep my head.

Okay, so I know this is somehow a lame update, and I'm sorry for keeping long. I've been very busy. Jonas himself keeps bugging me. Piz Jonas! Hihi~ anyway.
