Searching For Euphoria

05

"So where are you staying? Wait, have you been here before? What time are we going to meet?" Brei continuously asked Lorn.

He finds her annoying but at the same time he wants to help her. Obviously, he regrets saying yes to Brei but too late tho, he let her in already.

"I have a—" Lorn was about to say he has an old house here but then he doesn't know where it is, actually. "I have a rented unit," he said instead.

"But ain't that cost a lot? You can stay home with me in my house," Brei offered while smiling at him.

Only he doesn't like it. He's really annoyed with her so he replied, "no, thank you. I don't like girls who ask strangers to stay at their place."

Upon saying that he remembers what his friends told him, that he wasn't into girls and now it's showing.

Brei looked down and felt sad but she's not one to show sadness. "What's your name?" She asked instead of being offended.

She heard him sighed and replied, "Mikael, my name's Mikael."

"I'll call you Michael," she said and smiled.

"Whatever you want."

They were on their way out of the ship. Yes, they have arrived at the city where they think they'll find their happiness. Where they think would answer the questions in both their minds.

"Can we exchange phone numbers then? So we can text each other for tomorrow's plan," Brei said once they were out of the port.

"Yeah give me your number and I'll hit you up tomorrow," he said. He didn't want to do it really but whatever.

After Brei gave Lorn her number, he called for a cab and she thought it was for her.

Lorn opened the taxi and went inside, he looked at her and said. "I'll see ya tomorrow," then closed the door shut.

Brei looked down. It shouldn't bother her, she was supposed to be alone anyways. She called for a taxi and when she was inside she gasped when she remembered something.

She stared up at the night sky through her window and then whispers, "I hope you'll recognize which star I am. I hope you call out my name so I'll twinkle..."
