Phen’s POV
It’s raining quite heavily! This isn’t the time for studying! It’s time to get a nap. The director of the school is really stingy in no class announcements. Maybe I’ll just skip my class and go to the music club.
When I opened the door, Sep was there sleeping. Her head is on the table and with her hands and a book underneath her. She slept while reading an electromagnetic text book? What a nerd! But I guess, she’s really beautiful when she is asleep. Her lashes are long and her lips looks sweet and soft. Her long wavy hair often hides her beautiful face. Wouldn’t that make her face itch? I instinctively touched her hair and put it behind her ear. Then I said in a whisper, “That’s much better! Sleeping Beauty...”
To my surprise, Sep opened her eyes and looked at me then smiled. “Oh, Phen! You’re here?”
“Ummm...Miss, Do I know you?” I said jokingly. Her face looked confused, then I continued. “ This is the music club...Are you an applicant? Why are you here alone?” I love her helpless, confused face more than her smiling or sleeping face since she would only show that face to me.
“Cut it out will you?”
“Ok. Ms. Sleeping Beauty, Why are you here? You’re a loner, are you? Want me to go so you could be alone?” I asked with my silly smile.
“Ehh...Why are you here? Where’s your bag?” she asked as if wanting to stop me but also not wanting to.
“Do college students always need a bag? Also, I skipped class. Ohhh...so you really wanted to be alone? Guess I got to go,” I said while pretending to walk away.
“Phen! Ok, you win. Stay, will you?” she said in a very low voice. I smirked and then sat beside her.
She picked her book again and started reading. She sometimes stops and writes some important notes.
It was so silent and I don’t have anything to do. I just asked her, “Hey, do you have a memo? I’m going to write something.” I said.
She rummages her bag and put out a pink memo pad and give it to me. I wrote, “I was here. – Phen” I seldom visit the music club so I do this whenever I visit to remind them that I’m still a member.
While writing, the door opens and Guiller enters the room. “Bro, you’re here!”
“Yeah. I’m just lazing around.”
Suddenly, Sep says in a quite loud voice that both Guiller and I are surprised, “Whoah! We have the same ballpen!”
“You’re pretty energetic today, are you Sep?” said Guiller.
“So? Are we soulmate now? I just picked this ballpen somewhere. It’s not even functioning properly.” I said jokingly.
“Having the same ballpen doesn’t mean were soulmates! I was just surprised!” she defended.
Seriously, this girl really makes my day. She always makes me want to bully her more.
“Let me borrow your ballpen for a while.” Then I snatched her ballpen away from her.
“Hey, I’m still using it!”
“Use my ballpen first.” Then I throw my not functioning ballpen near her.
“It’s not even functioning! Give my ballpen back! I’m studying here!” she stretched out her hand to reach her ballpen while I move his ballpen away from her.
“ Wo-ho! Calm down, little girl! Do you have other ballpen with you or pencil? I want Mongol number 2!” I said while thinking as if she’d have a mongol 2.
Guiller, watching us said, “Hey Phen, Why do you always bully Sep?”
I figured Guiller’s question doesn’t need an answer. I just smiled at him. Sep stopped reaching out her ballpen and rummages her bag again. She manages to find a mongol number 2 ang gave it to me. “Here. Bring back my ballpen will you?”
“Ok. I give up. Here’s your ballpen.” I said. Then I found another interesting thing from Sep. It’s her organizer notebook. “Let me take a look at this.”
“Ok. You will not find interesting stuff there anyway,” she said. Well for me, that is not true since everything about her interests me.
“Hey, this makes me disappointed. Why is my birthday not in your calendar? I’ll write my birthday here, Ok?” It’s understandable that my birthday is not in her calendar. The only birthday that she had written down in her organizer is hers, her family and Melissa. I wrote my birthday on her calendar without her agreeing first.
“Do I have a choice? You’re already writing your birthday anyway.”
“Another lover’s quarrel? How sweet the both of you are!” teased Guiller.
“We are not lovers! And will never be!” Sep answered angrily.
“Ouch! That hurts, I am dumped.” I said half-jokingly and laughed. It’s true that I was hurt but I don’t want my feelings to be noticed so I covered it up as a joke.
One by one, the members of the music club enters. Some girls from the club called Sep to join them buy some food. It became boring again. Should I go?
“Hey Phen, we’re arranging a mini concert tonight. Do you want to join?” asked Lenard.
“Would it be alright? I haven’t even joined you once in your practice for tonight.” I said doubting.
“It will be alright. It’s just for fun and you’re a genius guitarist anyway,” persuaded him.
“Many girls will come for sure because of you Phen! I’m sure they will be swooned by your skills. Maybe even Sep will change her mind when she hears you,” pursued Guiller.
“Well, so much for the sweet talk. I guess I’ll try.” This could be a chance for Sep to see my other side. Maybe she would fall for me?
“This mini concert will surely be a success. We have our charismatic vocalist and genius rapper, J.L. and Phen with us! Ok, let’s prepare for tonight!” cheered Lenard.
So J.L. would be in this show? I know that Sep had feelings for him before since I always observe her. I’d better be prepared to take him over.
Then, Sep, Liah and Mich entered the room with food and refreshment on their hands.
“Hey, Sep you didn’t even buy for me?” I teased her.
“You didn’t ask me to buy for you.”
“Just give me yours. I’m really thirsty here.”
“Is it okay for you? I’ve already drink some of it.”
“It’s ok. I’m not choosy anyway.” Then I drank from her cup and asked her, “Watch me in tonight’s mini concert. That’s an order.”
“How rare it is for you to play. Even if you don’t order me I will really watch it. Make sure you’ll give an awesome performance for tonight.”
“Yeah, you’ll be head over heels for me and wish that I am your boyfriend.”
