Then suddenly Augustine just jumped from his seat. "Hey, how about this?"
"What?" I asked as I was shocked.
"We are not my friends nor we are strangers, but just someone who know each other. We don't know each other nor what problems we have. We are...
"You be my someone. Let me be your someone" he said. "But you will say this to your friends and when they see me, they are gonna make fun of it" I really don't want their friends to know anything about me.
I am trying to be invisible so please I don't want anything to change.
"Just don't say to anyone, include our friends, parents not even your sister." Now kinda started liking the idea.
"But we can't even be alone. All I wanted was to be alone but I have never seen a place like that." I was pointing out the demerits. But he was saying the merits.
"We are just 'someones'. We will hug each other and have fun together, talk about stuffs that you can't talk to someone else but me." He said as if he had everything under control. I like challenges.
"Seven days, just seven days let's try this. In one whole week, I will be your someone and you be mine." Augustine, for the first time, said something I liked.
"But what about the place? There are a lot of people we know here. We can't be alone at all." I pointed out one more negative point. "You leave that to me. You are always thinking negatively." He is so sure of what he is saying. We finished my drink and then he grabbed my hand and called a cab and reached a place. Near the sea, there was a lot of rocks. It was sure lonely. I wish I could just sit there forever and admire the sunset.

We went down, climbed the rocks, it was fun. I never knew there was a place like this. No one was there. We sat on a rock. I sat leaning on his shoulder. He didn't let go of my hand. Every step I take, he holds my hand tight. I was happy to see someone care for me this much. I was admiring the sunset. But Augustine looked sad. I knew something was bothering him. Well, that's why I'm here. I asked him to talk to me. He told me about his problems with his parents. Their fights. Why does that scare him? He told me most of it. He looked sad and different than how I knew him.
I asked him to stand up. We stood up and I hugged him. A warm hug.

All my worries vanished too. I was happy at the matter that he was happy. He hugged me tight and that made me feel like I'm in safe hands. We hugged for quite long time. The sunset, it turned dark. I wanted to check what time it was, but he didn't let go of me. Then I started asking him that it's getting late.
Then he let go of me. "Sorry, it felt good that I didn't want to leave it."
"It's fine, anyways it's getting late and I have to go back." "Wait, scarlet......"
