“Mary”

“Mary”

“Mary!” Kenna said in a very loud voice

“Uhm… what?” Mary said as she looks to Kenna and removes her earphones, she was listening to the CD that Francis gave her and she can’t help but to get lost in the moment

“What are you doiinnnggg?” Kenna said, her tone teasing

“nothing” Mary said as she quickly closed her laptop

“oooooh nothing huh” Kenna said still teasing

“what?” Mary said while smiling

“you’ve been grinning like crazy for an hour now, and don’t tell me that it’s ‘nothing’ because I know that look” Kenna said as she walks slowly to Mary’s bed

“what look?” Mary said trying to hide her grin, she’s not sure if she’s going to tell Kenna about Francis walking her to class, she doesn’t want to get her hopes up and she doesn’t really want to put meaning to Francis’ actions. It’s better to not expect anything, that way, she won’t be disappointed.

“you know you suck at playing dumb, right?” Kenna said with a mischievous grin

“fine, fine” Mary said as she looks to Kenna

Kenna made herself comfortable on Mary’s bed , she grabbed a pillow, put it on her lap and scoots closer to Mary

“What are you waiting for? Spill” Kenna said demandingly

“There’s not much to talk about, really” Mary said, the smile not leaving her face

“ha! I’m not dropping this topic anytime soon, I want every single juicy detail. NOW.” Kenna said

“uhm, he just walked me to class and gave me his CD” Mary said, trying hard not to look jittery

“I knew it! He is sooo into you, and I bet you like him to. A lot” Kenna said while elbowing Mary

“wha— “ Mary quickly said but was interrupted

“Don’t even try to deny it, you were listening to the CD he gave you, weren’t you?? And don’t even tell me that you’re watching a movie because your eyes weren’t glued on the screen, you were looking from here and there then you smiled out of nowhere” Kenna said with a loud voice, looking very enthusiastic

“well I was curious to know what kind of genre he sings so –“ Mary said

“oh please, you like the boy. ADMIT IT” Kenna said beaming widely

“it doesn’t matter if I like him, tons of girls already like him, I’m just a mere addition to the list” Mary said

“of course it matters, you’re unlike all the other girls because  He. Likes. You. Back.” Kenna pointed out

“I don’t really know that, he might have done the same gestures to tons of other girls” Mary said doubtfully

“he doesn’t seem like the playboy type to me” Kenna said to Mary

“let’s just hope you’re right” Mary said in an almost inaudible voice

**~~O~~**

“you seem bothered” Bash said to his brother

“I should have just get her number” Francis said looking gloomy

“whose number?” Bash replied

“Mary’s… I slipped my number to the CD I gave her but I guess she didn’t notice it” Francis with disappointment in his voice
