A Twist of Fate and A Time

Sierrah

I can't believe how time flies so fast. A person I barely knew became an acquaintance and a confidante in two months. Two months. Two months without the needed hangout with friends, or a moment of talking heart to heart or face to face. It was a relationship built on a bridge and technology.

She introduced me to you without second thoughts. You badly needed another friend and she wanted her friend to help her out. "Well, okay. I'll try.", I said, oblivious to the emotional rollercoaster ride that was to come.

I didn't expect to fall for you that easily. You aren't much to look at. Haha. But you were already calling me by name on the second week of classes, a rare thing to do by people like you. That gesture touches and scares me like no other.

After the calling, I saw more of your colorful yet bleak personality through the bridge. She shares so much information about you to the point that I want to mutter to myself that she could have shared notes or reviewers or something academically helpful. But it's okay since I love distractions. You are one of my distractions.

In class, you do so many things that caught my attention: the weird stifled laugh, the "alrights", the beautiful penmanship, to name a few. Your face suddenly became my hope for TTH. God, I am really lovesick.

In three weeks, we will able to pass through the fabled three of this highly "connected" era: the chat, the call, and the text. I was ecstatic! But I have a feeling to act as check and balance for the situation: doubt.

She is closer to you than me. You're friends since this summer. You shared a lot with each other without an inkling of holding back your thoughts. Me? I feel like a third wheel in the relationship the three of us have. I was brought in the circle because she needed a karamay who is also friends with you. On the other hand, you usually talk to me when she is not around; the foundation of the TTH small talk. These and more are so many reasons for me to doubt.

I can't believe how time flies so fast. It started as a want to know you, but now it just feels like I want to avoid being your call option.
