Claire's POV
Thank God, class hours is done! I am now in the library to borrow some books for my assignments.
"Ouch!" I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry." I helped her get the books and papers that fell because of me.
"No prob." Wait. This voice. I know her!
"Gab?!"
"Claire?! It's you! Oh my G, I missed you!"
"I missed you too!" We hug each other with a little bit of jumping. Haha. We really are like this. I so much miss this human being!
"How are you?!" We asked in unison as we released the hug.
"May I remind you ladies that you two are inside a library. If you're just here to mingle, then get out at this very minute." The campus head librarian calmly retorted.
"Sorry, Ma'am." We both just bow our heads as we walk away from her.
"Go get your things." I told her in lowest volume.
"What? I still have assignments to finish." I roll my eyes at her.
"I need to tell you something. And I miss you. I thought you miss me too?"
"Of course. Wait for me outside, I'll just get my bag." As what she told me, here I am waiting outside the library. Psh! What took her so long?!
"Sorry." She said as she walks toward me.
"You know I hate waiting." I start to walk.
"Sorry na. I captured pa kase my assignments e. I was not able to attend our class kanina. Plus, I'm sure I won't have time to search later because my bestfriend and I miss each other and we have a lot of catching up to do." She reasons out while her hands are clinged on my right arm.
"I really miss you. That's why I even forgot the reason why I was in that library."
"Awww..."
"But good thing you captured the assignments. Now we have a reason to my parents." She let go of my arm and look at me with a clueless face.
"Hahaha! You're so draft sometimes! What I mean to say is that, you can tell mom and dad that I have to sleepover on your house to do our assignments. If they will say that I could just search in the internet, then tell them that our professor wants us to refer from books."
"Wow. You really are brillant! We can do our assignment together and at the same time, we can have loooong conversation and sleep late. Just like the olden days."
"Exactly!" I said. We held hands in excitement.
"For the mean time, treat me strawberry ice cream."
"Hahaha. Sure."
Gab's POV
Claire and I are bestfriends since grade school. We are both fifteen year old, but I'm two months older than her. Usually, she's more mature than me but not when it comes to strawberry ice cream and gummy bears. If you want to see her childish side, just give her a bowl of strawberry ice cream and a box of gummy bears. Haha. I don't know, but this might be the reason why she's the sweetest.
"Hey, I know that you miss me but could you please eat your ice cream already? It's melting."
"Pwede bang mag-tagalog muna tayo? I spent my whole summer in an English country, then spent almost my whole day in an English school today. I need a break."
"Hahaha. Was that what you were spacing out for? Kaya pala sa school pa lang conyo kana."
"I'm not conyo! I just miss tagalog na talaga."
"Whatever! Haha!" A car suddenly stops in front of the ice cream parlor where we are seated.
"Oh, that's my sundo na." She teases me using my conyo tone. Psh!
"Claire naman e!"
"Alright. Let's go. You have to explain to my parents."
"I don't know if I'd be happy to no longer feel nervous whenever I have to cover you up to your parents or be sad for myself because I'm getting used to lying."
"Oh, com'on, Gab. Just for tonight."
"Really? Just for tonight?" She held my hand and we walked to the car.
"Can't promise." I looked at her and there I saw a smirk that I have missed in the whole summer. I can't help but giggle. Here we go again.
