The 2nd day of the Intramural Meet was quite more enjoyable for Taemi due to the fact that it is her free day.
“Taemi, you look skinnier, is that because of stress?” Wela asked her as the 11 of them (her group of friends) walk together towards the basketball court.
“sort of! I’m always tired that’s why.. “she said smiling.
“dont stress yourself too much. We know you could do well”. Mae told her as she wrapped her arms around her shoulder. They were happily walking when they saw Blue together with a beautiful girl with him. They were happily talking and just passed by them. Taemi wasn’t surprised at all. It was expected though she just smiled at her friends and continued their way towards the court..They even sat with their Humanities1a instructor Mr. Jerry Juanica.The basketball game was starting actually,and Taemi cheered for their department.Not only the basketball game was going on.So as the other ball games.
When the basketball came into a break,” Message on the air”went on.“You always see those people you only want to see.. But you forget to notice someone who only looks at you. I hope someday, you’ll be able to see me.. This game is for you.. To the girl wearing yellow beside Sir Jerry”
The announcer read. They were like,dumbfounded. Then the audience looked at her. She was the only one wearing yellow beside Mr.Juanica.She just awkwardly smiled.
After the game, She immediately went to the comfort room together with her friends.”Wahhhh!Taemi!Whos that!? Blue,Red and Green have games going on right?”asked Wela.
” That was terrific! Omo!” Ina excitedly said.
”Wait, let us not assume and expect.We don’t even know who is it.Let’s just let it go.Maybe its just a prank” Taemi said laughingly( though she’s curious too)The games went on and everything seemed normal and Intramural meet was done.Taemi proceeded on their debate training and she have forgotten all that she had witnessed for the past days.After their debate where they’ve landed 3rd place, Taemi’s school life turned to normal again.She get to see the men she have crushes on but she always end up hurt and disappointed.But of course life must go on for her.She might be single as of now but she have the best of friends in the world.
One afternoon,just after the teacher’s day party,Taemi was about to go out of the comfort room when she saw someone waiting by the CR entrance.The guy turned around to face her.She doesn’t know the guy but he seemed familiar.
”This must be yours..” he said as he extended his arm to give her the wallet she doesn’t know she lost a while.
”Oh.Yeah, it’s mine.Thank you!” Taemi sincerely stated.
The guy just stared at her for a while and smiled with his dimples out.
"Your always welcome.I’m Indigo, by the way”.
“Hi.I’m Taemi. Thank you for bringing it back.How did you know it was mine by the way? And how did you know I’m here?” Taemi curiously asked.
“Hmm.. I just know.. Goodbye.Gotta go”. Indigo waved good bye,when he stopped after taking a few steps, he tilted his head a little towards Taemi and said, “It’s nice to talk to you, My Ms.Yellow shirt...”
It may not be the end of Taemi’s story.but we could say,she might not have those guys look at him, but at least, she got someone better looking at her. College Life is never an easy journey..UA-TLMC may not be the best university. But it’s the nest of a thousand students story.Your story, my story...
