My phone rang for the past 5 minutes. It's only 10.05am. I took my phone, without looking at who was calling and shouted into the speaker.

"Who are you and what do you want at 10am in the morning!"

"Chill woman! You usually wake up at 10am exactly, who knew you overslept, you pig!"

Ah, Zen. His voice is a voice that I don't need to ask who it was.

"Damn you. What is so important for you to call me so early in the morning anyway?"

"I want to ask you about your date yesterday. How was it?"

"It was amazing. Fantastic. Fairytale-like. Unimaginable. Beyond compare. I ran out of words to describe. I can't think when I just woke up."

"Sounds... like your kind of date. Did you guys kissed?"

"We did, twice."

"Oh."

Awkward silence. I was too tired to think of something to continue, but it was weird of him. I had to say something.

"So, anything else you want to know? I can call you later or talk to you in school about it. For now, I can't recall and I'm still tired."

"Go back to sleep then. Goodnight Harley."

Beep.

I stared at my phone in confusion. Why is he acting so cold? He himself wanted to know what happened. He asked first. I will tell him anyway. And now it seems like I've said something wrong.

I throw my phone on the other side of the bed and went back to sleep.

*****

I messaged Zen once in the afternoon. Usually, he would reply almost immediately but after five hours, there was still no reply from him. I told myself that he might be busy and continued waiting.

*****

I checked his Facebook messenger online status, his last Instagram post, his Twitter tweets and finally his WhatsApp timestamp. No updates since hours ago. I was getting worried but I don't want to be annoying. I just got to suck it up and wait.

*****

It is time to sleep and he has not replied me. I was getting a bit pissed at him. I'm dying to know what's wrong! This is killing me. Who is he to occupy my thoughts for the entire day? Does he think he's a big deal? I don't like him doing this to me. I was hitting my pillows like a small kid being rejected of getting something he or she wants. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Clark had to knock at this timing.

"Harley, may I come in? I heard you slamming your pillows. What's wrong little girl?" Before I gave my permission, he was already sitting next me.

"Zen hasn't replied me since morning after he made a call to me. I was sleepy so I answered with a rather annoyed tone. He sounded so down after he asked about my outing with Glenn, and after that, he ended the call. It was the first time he's doing this to me and now I feel guilty for shouting at him." I slammed my head into the pillow after replying him.

I heard Clark chuckled, he then pat my head. "You're going to experience part of your adult life soon. Be strong, Harley. Make the right decision and make no regrets. I will always be here for you."

"What's that about? You didn't even console me or reply anything related to what I've just said. Pfft." Clark laughed and kiss my forehead.

"Goodnight, Harley. You'll know in the future."

*****

It's Monday, time for school. I'm not looking forward to meeting Zen. I'm still paranoid why he hasn't reply me after a good whole day. I was early for school so I went to my seat and rest.

"Hey, Harley. Don't you look sleepy." I was lightly shaken up from my sleep. It was Glenn who just reached school.

It was rather nice to see someone smiling at me. "Hey, Glenn. I am, I always lack sleep when it's time for school."

He chuckled and lightly pat my head. The feeling of being loved.

Zen did not come to school today. I wonder if he's sick. The whole day in school, I was accompanied by Glenn. He stick close to me everywhere, cheered me up and even drove me back home.

Day 2, Zen did not come to school. Is he having a bad flu? Or a high fever? Is it that bad till he can't reply a single message that I've sent him? It's enough. I'll visit him after school today.
