My Dear Freya,

Your dad and I found a good beach in the east and we decided to extend our vacation. For the meantime, you'll stay with Clark. He won't leave home any soon, and your dad and I are certain that he'll take good care of you. I love you Sweetie.

Love,

Mom



I turned off my PC ad crawled up to my bed upon reading my mother's mail. I guess I'll be staying with Clark alone longer than what I expected. I had no idea what will happen--- at least stop being awkward.



I tousled my hair out of frustration. The dinner last night was extremely awkward. I couldn't shake the thought away. How could I be so careless? I don't understand why I always seemed to do the wrong and awkward thing when Clark's around.


"Oh sht!" I swiftly got up and run to the bathroom. How did I forget that today's Monday?! I hate Mondays. I know everyone does.


I took a quick shower and get dressed. I was running so fast on my way out of the house as though I was running for my life.

"Easy." Clark retorted.

"We're late!" I uttered while catching my breath.

"Yeah. What took you so long?" He asked and looked at his wristwatch.

"You should have gone to school. You don't have to wait for me, you know? We're in a different department anyway."

"We're still in the same school, so yeah. Let's go." He said and walked out of the house.

"Clever."

I locked the door and run after him.

"Are we going to ride your car or mine?' I asked.

"Mine."

I quietly followed him until we reached his car. It's really cool... just like him.

We were silent on the way to the university. I kind of forgot that I was already late for my first class. I don't want things to be awkward for the both of us, but I had no idea where to start.

"Can I play some music, or you prefer silence?" I asked.

"Go ahead." He plainly replied without looking at me.

I sighed. What's wrong with him? I just turned on the radio to somewhat kill the silence. This is crazy.

🎶You're so scared to fall in love
'Cause you end up in the dush
Every time every time 🎶

I heard him chuckled a little. I frowned. I turned my gaze outside. Now he's acting really weird. Is he bipolar?

🎶 Now you see us all the same
Like our words are just a game
Spitting lies, dirty lies

I know you know
There's something here
But you cannot get past the fear
I can help you make it clear

So, when you feel like trying again
Reach out, take my hand
So how great it could be
To fall in love with someone you can trust

Who would never give up
Cause you're all that he needs
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh oh 🎶


He started to sing along with the tune on the radio. He sings really well. I guess there's so much more about this guy that I had no idea, yet. I must figure him out.


🎶 You give 100 percent, but you've never seen a cent
They're so blind, they're so blind
Cause I'm looking at your face
And the world's a better place
In your eyes, lovely eyes

I know you know
There's something here
But you cannot get past the fear
I can help you make it clear...

So, when you feel like trying again
Reach out, take my hand
So how great it could be
To fall in love with someone you can trust

Who would never give up
Cause you're all that he needs
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh oh 🎶


A smile slightly formed in my lips. Why does it feel like the song is for me? Maybe I'm assuming things, but it really feels like it.

🎶you got nothing to lose baby,
But you won't know if you don't try
Please don't leave me asking why
So when you're ready to choose baby
I'll be here with open arms
With the same in love in my heart

So when you feel like trying again
Reach out, take my hand
So how great it could be
To fall in love with someone you can trust

Who would never give up
'Cause you're all that he needs
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh
Baby take a chance on me
Baby take a chance on, oh oh oh

So when you feel like trying again 🎶



"Nice." I commented. "Didn't know you sing really well."

I glanced at him and saw a smile flashed in his pretty face.

"Thanks. It's my hidden talent, but it's not hidden anymore now that you know about it." He retorted.

We laughed in unison. This guy is really something. And maybe we're also something.

I swiftly got out of his car and bid my goodbye to him whilst running for my next class. Damn that traffic, now I really missed my first class, and Clark did too.

It was my fault. If only I didn't idle... agh! I feel so guilty. Why do I have to drag him with me in this situation? Gosh, Freya!


"Why are you in a hurry?" Tanya asked. She's my seatmate in General Psychology.

"Well, obviously I am late! I missed our first class and for that I don't want to be late to our next class." I answered.

She chuckled at my response. I raised an eyebrow just so she'd know I'm starting to think that she's weird.

"Okay. Chill. We don't have class today Freya."

"What?!!!" I shouted.

"Ouch, my ears. Hey! I told you to chill. Calm down, okay?"

I shook my head and signaled her to finish what she has to say.


"Okay, so the class of the entire university got cancelled. Mrs. Thompson just announced that we all should go home and pack our stuff for the trip the day after tomorrow." She stated.

"Trip?" I asked confused.

"Yes honey. We'll be having a trip to the Riverside." She then giggled. "The set up would be like this; the entire school will be divided—two programs in each location. And we, fortunately got teamed up with the Architecture students. Omg I'm excited! There's tons of good-looking guy in that program." She quickly added.

I rolled my eyes. Why was everyone I know loves to be surrounded with guys?

I excused myself from Tanya who was still daydreaming and headed to the parking lot. I got my phone from my bag and tried to call Clark, but to no avail, he wouldn't pick up his phone. He's probably with his colleagues. What am I supposed to do now? I didn't bring my car with me since Calrk gave me a ride, but I guess he won't be able to take me home. 

So I reckon I should just take a cab, but first, I need to buy some stuff for the trip.

[A/N: Okay guys I know that this update is lame, and I am really sorry that it took me so long to post an update. I was just really busy. I hope you understand and Enjoy reading. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.]
