Antara's POV

That voice. I'm sure it's him.

Napabangon ako sa kama nang ma-alala ko ang nangyari kagabi. The dance. The kiss. Shit! My head aches. Fvcking hangover.

I wandered my eyes around the room and see Cryscel sleeping,  snoring softly. I glance at the clock on my table, 6:09 AM. It's weird kasi I don't remember anything about returning to our dormitory. Then I remember his voice.

"Shut up you whining baby. Now sleep"

"Shut up you whining baby. Now sleep"

"Shut up you whining baby. Now sleep"

I can't get over it. I should take a rest to clear my mind about all the things that happened.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

"HEY ANTARA! WAKE UP! I SAID WAKE UP!"

Remind me to kill her later.

I gave Crys my infamous death glare, "What is it now?"

"We're late for school!" and then it hits me, it's the first day of school.

MY HEAD STILL HURTS! SHIT!

I gave her a frown,  "I can't go."

"What?!"

"My head still hurting. Can't go. I'm sorry." I replied.

"Sige. Magpahinga ka nalang diyan. I'll excuse you to the teachers."

"Thanks bub. You're the best."

"Bub? Pfft. Okay okay. I'll get going bub."  she said exaggerating the 'bub' word. I rolled my eyes and then go doze off to sleep.

Poke! Poke. Poke!

I can feel someone poking my cheeks to wake me up.

"Hey." poke "Wake up" poke "Sleepy head."

I immediately opened my eyes because of that voice and I'm right he is the owner of that voice.

"It's you." I speak that made him smile.

"Yeah it's me."

He's so gorgeous. Ocean blue eyes, tall nose, fair complexion, and his pink tinted lips. I wonder how they taste like. Omayghad!  Get a hold of yourself Antara!

Plok! He just flicked my forehead!

"Ouch!" I glare at him

He smiled at me,  "Get up and eat some food here to fill you up."

"But w-hy?" I asked.

"For you to not die for hunger?"

"That's not what I mean. Why do you care?"

He stared at me and remained silent. Putting the hot ramen on my side table before he decided to leave. Leaving me confused and flustered. I don't know what to feel, to think and do. But I choose to eat the ramen that he gave me because I'm really hungry right now. This ramen noodles taste so good. HmmMmm.

The evening comes and I decided to roam around the campus because there's nothing else too do. Then I found myself walking into the park where I met that guy. I don't know I just feel that he'll be there. When I entered the park, cold evening air meets me. I wandered my eyes around but I didn't see him there. I'm kind of disappointed? No no no. Why would I be disappointed? You want to see him,  perhaps? Nope. Definitely not.

When I'm busy debating my own feelings, I am taken by shock when someone suddenly hug me behind my back. I flinched but then felt relieved when I heard his voice.

"Shh. Let's stay like this for a while. Just a while. Please." he whispered in my ear.

His warmth radiating into my whole body. I like his warmth. No, I love it.

We stayed like that for how many minutes when I decided to break the silence. I face him only to meet his ocean blue eyes. I managed to speak,"Can we talk?"

"We're already talking." he replied which he earned a slap on his arm.

We sat under the tree in silence admiring how peaceful this park is.How come no one except us know about this place? So, we talked all night appreciating each other's presence. We laughed so hard because of his corny jokes. Talk about things that we end up arguing because we're really complete opposites. It goes like that the whole night.

"It's funny that we were talking all night without knowing each other's names." he stated.

"I'm Antara." I replied "I know. I'm Tyson."

"So Tyson,  how did you know my name?"

"Connections." he said winking at me.

I just rolled my eyes at him.

"We should go. It's getting late." he suggested.

"Yeah. We should."

After arriving at our room, we bid our goodbyes and I managed to answer when Crys started murdering me with her questions. Then I fell asleep thinking about Tyson. Omayghad! I must be going nuts.
