It turns out that Christian has no problems at all 'I want to be silent and alone' well, at least that's what I understand.
Me and Christian had a stroll in the hallway talking about something, until the atmosphere changed and I forced myself to change topic.
'Chris, last month.. the examination. At the door, remember?'
'I don't remember Xav- Oh wait, hmmm. Yes, what about it?'
'Remember that you said every boy wants her?'
'Her? Oh, I get you. Yes, of course.'
'Would that make others jealou-'
We're at the stairs, we took 23 steps down and arrived at the second floor. And I saw erica on the hallway, besides the railings, at the far end, chit-chatting with some boys. I looked at her, we took a left turn to head for the stairs. She called my name out loud 'Xav!!'. Christian and I took 5 steps back and faced left. Erica showed a sign to go right where she is standing, we didn't hesitate and we went there, erica facing us, smiling. The boys, also were smiling and I don't know why. Erica left the boys for a minute or two just to talk to us.
'Are you guys going to the center?' She said
'You know it.' Christian said
'How about you, Xav?' Erica said.
'As always, erica.' I said while wearing a DAMNED NERVOUS SMILE.
Erica and Christian took over the conversation, and I, well, looked at the shoulder of erica and saw the boys talking, others were looking at us and erica.
'What? Huh? Aww, you guys jealous? You better be. HAHAHA SURE, ALL OF YOU CAN TALK TO HER BUT... WE'RE GOING TO THE CENTER.. SO MEANING, WE'LL HAVE MORE TIME THAN ALL OF YOU. BLEH BLEH BLEH"
This is how my brain works.
And no, I'm not that stupid to say it out loud, now, I'm back to the convo and both of them were laughing, but I didn't mind.
'Okay, bye erica.'
'Yes, bye chris. Byeee xaaaavvv!'
'Bye, erica. See you at the center!'
'We will.'
We, again, took left then a left again to face the stairs.
'What were you guys talking about?'
'You jealous, xav? Naaaah, its nothing important. Come on then I've got to pick up my phone.'
I didn't reply to christian and head downstairs with him, then again, we took a left. No seriously hhahahahaha, idk why but, everything is on the left. The last step.. we turned left again facing the office where christian will pickup his phone.
We rode the bikes again..
We arrived at the center.
Christian and I sat down and I haven't seen erica for a while, it has been almost 30 minuets, we arrive before she arrives. Arriveception
I was left alone by Christian, he has a complex relationship with a girl from another school. The airconditioned room was quiet and hell I was sweating, don't ask me why.. We had to climb up the stairs. Anyway, I asked my tutor if she (erica) will come here, said yes. And blah blah blah she came (no sht,calm down) hahahah no need to be excited. "Xavyy" both of her hands were put aside on my shoulders and his face close to mine.. I really had trouble on making some movement, I was like a brick! A statue! I don't want to lose the TOUCH That's the correct term. I guess. I moved my chair just a little to make me comfortable. I losed her hands, she took it off :( You know? I can't believe I'm hanging more time with a lady than any boy at school can (idk 'bout christian though)
Every boy wants to hang out some time with her (idk 'bout christian) and I think I'm one of them.. Wait, let me clear it out for you. Erica, she is not that girl who wears tight-ass miniskirts. No. She's pretty normal and all. She's no slut (sorry for the word), she's just very friendly to all. Please don't be so negative and all. Smh. Anyway, I don't know how to express everything towards her. And I don't think I need to do that. "Where's Christian?" She said as she sat down the chair beside me and took off some things out of her big bag. The bag, is pretty big for her.. might be also freaking heavy. That explains why she's short. HA! No, just kidding. But seriously, she's short and has a big-ass backpack on her back. "She's outside with a girl." I played with my ballpen for a while because .. heh, this is what I do when I'm with her. Or just when I'm bored. We (Christian and I) came here just to hang out, its pretty boring at the house. And yes, we do still live with our parents. Erica went to her usual seat, and decided to talk something random for a while.. until christian arrives.
"OMG OMG OMG," erica repeated the words fast.
Faster than eminem and maywhether combined.. I know, its bad. But anyway.
"Did'ya? Did'ya? No wayyy!" Erica, fixing her seat, excited.
"Yes," i said with the 's' prolonged to make it more of a thrill
"No wait. I'm going to play this with you."
I racked my chair and fixed it, slumped back and relax.
"Oh let me guess.." she said as she put her hands on the table.
"Is it Rose?!"
"Yeah.."
"YES??!"
"Well not really. Ha. Ha. Ha." You know its a fake laugh.
"How aboooouuuut.. Emery!"
"How'd you guess everything fast?"
"I don't know" she said as she twirled and played her fingers.
I think she knew already, but she still played the game
"Alright, I knew."
"But why?"
"I just, want to.. like.. extend our talk a bit, you know? I really like to know more about you," there was silence inside the room, nobody but us except the tutor.
"I mean WE! We want to know more about you. We don't talk that much, you don't know that much about me. Uhh, so yeah."
Awkward silence surrounded us, I can only hear the engine running of the aircon.
I sat there, I was very uncomfortable for what is happening. I tried to fix my sit, she did the same.
That went unexpected..
The silence broke when Emery and Christian opened the door, they were laughing and all, they were happy. They stopped. Stared at us in a confusing manner.
"You guys okay?" Christian said
"Yeah, did you guys had a fight or something?" Said Emery
"No no no no" Me and erica said in chorus
"We're really cool."
"By the way, this guys is emery, my friend. And emery, these are my friends, Alvarez and Erica."
"You can call me rez." I said
"Xav?" Erica tried to confirm
"Yes that also will do"
I smiled at her and also did she, I looked at her eyes, she's so beautiful, brown eyes, eyebrows on point, her hair. She's so perfect! no wonder why this is their so-called boys' dream.
"Ehem"
-christian
"Oh.. yeah," I faced them
"Hahahahahha" I added with a laugh.
Emery and Christian turned their faces at their back
"You guys seem cool" emery said
"We were once considered partners in crime."
I overheard them as they walk towards the exit.
I sighed while still facing at where they were standing..
Erica tapped lightly on my hand.
"Come on, lets follow them."
We got to walk down the stairs. But there's this narrow part of the building where I and erica won't fit.
"Ma'am, please."
"No good sir, you go."
