My Missing Piece | Sean Lew

Chapter 5 |Wandering Thoughts

OKEH GUYS I finally decided to add some titles on the chapters!
-----------------

After letting my thoughts float, I decided to check my phone, I check the time and it was 1AM, How could I even take such a long time wondering what's gonna happen next?

I closed my eyes for a long time expecting myself to sleep.

But I can't, why?. Is it because I kept thinking about what's gonna happen next?. I'm just over thinking.

***
It was the next day, finally a new day to start being productive, I always tell that to myself but it ends up wrong. What is wrong with me.

I woke up with a sudden tap on my shoulder, it was my mom telling me to come down the stairs to eat breakfast.

I went downstairs, forgetting to put on my shoes.

I went to the dinner table along with my mom, basically if you're wondering why we don't always get to be with my dad. He's always leaving the house early because of meetings. You know sometimes I just want to spend every minute with him. But I can't, he's always been so busy.

I took a plate and started gathering some food.

And there I was, lost in my thoughts again.

As I was lost in my thoughts I hear a person calling me. It was mom.

"Anne?, Anne!, eat your food, don't play with it." My mom says.

I didn't realize I was poking my food with my fork.

"Oh yeah, sorry." I say.

"What's wrong? You seem to get lost in your thoughts more often, what's the problem anak?" My mom asks me concerned.

"Oh, nothings wrong." I say lying.

"Come on, I'm your mom, you see I'm like your diary as well, you can tell everything to me." My Mom looks at me with a smile.

"Well its just that, I don't often see dad a lot. But when I do, hes always so busy."

"Don't worry, he's doing it for us, I'm sorry if you ever feel that way anak, I'm always here for you." My mom goes up from her chair walks to me and hugs me.

I smile and hug my mom.

***
I was lying on the bed just reading books, it was currently 11AM, usually at this point of time, I don't really know what to do.

And so, i just continued reading.

Suddenly I hear my door open slowly, I tilt myself to see who it was, and it was my mom.

"Dress up! You're going to be late!" My mom says.

"Mom why, what's the occasion?, and why are you dressed up?" I ask curiously.

"You're going to be late for dance class!"

Oh crap.

I totally forgot about that.

I head on to my closet and placed on a pair of leggings, a flowy tee, and some Nike shoes.

***
We finally reached IDA, after 15 minutes, luckily there was no traffic, I have 10 minutes to spare.

"Good luck! Call or text me if you're done, love you!" My mom tells me as she drops me off.

"Okay ma! Love you too!" I waved at her goodbye.

I enter and first person I saw, Sean.

I can't even look straight anymore.

With my embarrassment I decided to go on a corner and just use my phone.

Sean's POV

I looked around and no sign of Anne There are too many people in here, I baked some home made donuts for her, I mean that'll be okay as a welcome gift? Right? I mean we've met already but you know, I'm just trying to be kind to her.

"Sean?, Sean!" Will says.

"Hmm, huh? Oh!" I turned around to look at him quickly

"What are you thinking about?" Will asks.

"Oh um, nothing." I say.

I started searching for her.

There she was, on a corner.

She looks lonely.

I should go up to her.

"Heyyy Anne!" I say.

She looks up to me in shock, as if we haven't met.

"Oh, hey!" She says putting her phone back on her bag.

I decided to sit next to her and start a conversation.

"Soo, how long have you been sitting there?" I ask.

"Well not too long ago." She chuckles.

"You look adorable when you're lonely" I tease.

"Heyyy!" She says as she hits my arm.

I stood up and offered my hand.

"Hey let's go!" I say.

She takes my hand and I pull her up.

"Go where?" She asks

"Outside, its pretty crowded here." I say.

I take her hand and find a way to go outside since there was too crowded with students.
