My Mechanical Heart (girlxgirl)

12 - Ar Kin

"Niks? I'm leaving okay? I need to do something in school. See you later!" Ella shouted outside of our bathroom.

"Okay! Take care! Laters!" I yelled back then I heard the door of our room close.

It's been like this lately between Ella and I. Everyday that passes by we grew closer and closer. I really like her around me. She always makes me happy. I feel safe around her. She's like my bestfriend, like I've known her all my life. We now know everything about each other. Some secrets, and embarrassing moments from the past. Our former crazy lovelifes. Everything, you name it. Well, except me being gay. I still can't seem to tell her. It's a good thing I asked my family not to tell her. I don't know why I'm so afraid of telling her. Is it because I'm afraid she'll freak out on me or be disgusted at me? I don't know. All I know is I'm afraid of losing her.

I turned the shower off then grab a towel on the sink. I wrapped the towel around my wet body then walked towards the sink. I brushed my teeth then blow dried my hair.

I went out of the bathroom then rummaged my closet for my ootd. After putting on my clothes, I grabbed my things then dashed off to school.

"Come on babe, it will be fun!" Victoria said as we walk down the hallway.

I sighed loudly. "Tori, I'm sorry, I got lots of things to do tonight, school work that is. I need to finish this take home exam. I'm gonna fail my subject if I didn't get a high score on this. Maybe next time?" I said.

"Aha. School work. You're just gonna hangout with Ella." She hissed.

"What? No I'm not! Well, she's my roommate so we technically hangout all the time Tori. But she's got nothing to do with me ditching you." I said frowning. And why am I even explaining things to her. She's not my girlfriend. Though I want her to be. But that's not the point.

"You know what? Nevermind! I'll just go there alone!" She yelled then walked away towards the other direction.

I sighed. Women this days!

I stormed outside my school feeling annoyed at Victoria. I don't have time for dramas today. I have many things to do.

"Hey!" Someone yelled.

I stopped walking then turn to look around. That's weird. Someone yelled but no one seems to be the person who yelled.

"Hey you!" The same voice shouts again.

I raised my brow. What the hell?

"Up here!" Says the voice. I looked up.

"Finally! Hi there." Said this guy, wearing red and black checkered polo with the sleeves rolled up and slightly lose jeans, a black converse and a snapback cap.

"Uhh. Hi?" I said awkwardly. Why is he talking to me? Do I know him?

He was like, "Yosi (cigarette) ?"

"Yosi?" I asked. He nodded then waved a lit cigarette above me.

And I was like, the fck? I don't smoke!

"Uhh no thanks. Listen, I gotta go." I said ready to walk away.

"Wait, how bout we chill here?" He said pointing where he is sitting. He is sitting on The Walls, that's what we call it, which is a part of this long wall, like mini wall of china, that embraces around Intramuros. It's a historical place here in Manila where a couple of schools, including Mapua, and other establishments are resting.
