As predicted, the girls were waiting in front of my room with smirks on their faces.

"Well?"

"Let me get in first please" I muttered, tapping my key card on the door and opening it. I slotted the card in the lights slot and the room lit up brightly.

"Tell us!" said Kanak, the ever so impatient one.

I put my bag down and before I took off my sandals, the said girl stopped me.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"Well, it was your first date with your crush and you have no photo with that outfit." she said and I sighed, picking up my bag again. I stood infront of the white wall of my room, randomly posing for the pictures.

Finally she was done and I sighed in relief.

"Give me two minutes, I shower and change before we talk" I told them and they nodded, taking seats around my room.

I took my clothes out of the closet and went into shower. After showering and changing into shorts and one of Kirun's tee's that I had from lord knows when, I walked to the girls.

"Speak!"

"It was a nice date. We went to the weekend market and then dinner at the Japanese Restaurant at Siam Square. And that is about it" I said and they gave me skeptical looks.

"That is it? Nothing more? No excitement?" questioned Asteria and I shrugged.

"I like it peaceful I guess"

"I guess" muttered Asteria and I gave them smiles.

"Oh the contrary, he said he likes me too!" I said and they squealed. Well Kanak did. The rest just grinned at me.

"That is great news darling. Now I have to get back to catch some sleep" I turned to Ayaka who smiled sheepishly at me.

"I know you have a book of equations waiting for you" replied Daw, rolling her eyes and Ayaka laughed.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Now I am out. Bye"

After Ayaka, Asteria and Kanak followed suite. Daw, however, stayed back.

"So how was it?" she asked me, laying on my bed sideways and looking at me skeptically.

"It was okay" I said, playing with the hem of the t-shirt.

"Uhuh. Spit it out Indah. I know you"

I sighed and looked up to her.

"It was a nice date. But-"

I looked down at the hem of my tees again, playing with it while putting my thoughts in words.

"But?"

"It is not.... what I expected" I said, looking up at the ceiling in frustration. That was not it. There was this feeling inside, something that tugged my conscious but I could not explain it. I hated that feeling.

"What exactly did you expect?" she asked me, sitting up. I sighed, shrugging my shoulders.

A moment of silence passed through us.
