The One That Got Away-s.rj x c.js

We headed to the 3rd floor of our house. This part of the house is divided into two, one for me and my friends and the other part is for my brother and his friends.

Jay and CL ran to the big cabinet immediately as we entered the big room. Vin looked around and her jaw dropped.

"Is this really a room?" She asked and I nodded.

"This looks like a booth to me." I laughed at her trance. Truth to be told, this room looks like a booth. There are some arcade machine, even a claw machine. We also got photo booth and our polaroid pictures are hanging on the wall. There's also a big television with big speakers on each side. A personalized bed which can fit 10 persons and a sofa set. A very big cabinet on one side which contains clothes of my friends.

"Vin! Here, catch!" Jay threw some unused clothes to Vin. It was about to land on the floor but being a volleyball player she is, Vin dove and caught the clothes.

"Saved!" She said. I shook my head and jumped at the bed. She changed at the room's cr and joined me at the bed.

"How about our clothes for tomorrow?" She asked innocently. Jay opened the cabinet at showed her some unused uniform.

"Uncle got it covered." Vin's jaw, dropped.

"Wow." She said and Jay just laughed at her.

"My friends are treated like their own to, by my parents." I told her. "He prefer to be called 'Dad' by my friends but they're too shy to call him that so they call him 'Uncle' instead." I continued.

After discussing some things to Vin, we started the fun. We played some arcade games and CL got a stuffed toy from the claw machine. We took some photos together and hanged it at the wall. We laid down at the bed as we finished playing. It's already half past midnight. We heard a knock at the door. I opened it and our maids entered the room with some food trays on their hands. We thanked them and started to pig out. After finishing it all. We stacked it at the side and went to bed. Jay turned off the light and the galaxy was seen in the ceiling.

"Wow." The three of them exclaimed.

"I bought a galaxy projector and some moon lamp recently." I told them.

We talked for couple of minutes until we fell asleep.

I felt a hard blow on my stomach which made me open my eyes and sat straight. I saw Vin laying in my stomach.

"Wake up, sleepyhead. It's already 6 am." She said. Thank God my class starts at 9:30 am.

"What time does your class start?" I asked her. She showed me her eight fingers.

"Where's the couple?" I asked again. She pointed the door. I stood up and we went downstairs. I immediately washed my face and gargled some mouth wash before sitting down at the dining room. Our breakfast was served, we'll have some bacon, egg, and fried rice for breakfast paired with a glass of fresh milk. After eating the three of them headed to the 3rd floor while I went to my room on the 2nd floor of our house. I brushed my teeth and took a bath. I wore my P.E uniform and slipped in a random pair of shoes I got from my shoe rack.

I dried my hair and combed it. After getting done, I walked out of my room with my bag and a sweater in my hands.

"Let's go?" I asked the three. We headed out and rode a bigger car today. Since we won't fit in the black car.

After some minutes, we reached the school. I wore my sweater before entering the school. We walked side by side and parted ways as we go to our classrooms. CL and Vin are both in Junior High School, they are classmates. Me and Jay aren't classmates.

I entered our room and the dancers are already doing some stretching. I dropped my bag beside Mav's and stretched too. I can't bear to hurt my muscles again like yesterday. I might pass out again if that happened.

At exactly 8 o'clock, our practice started. We practiced 'til 10 am and had a water break for 15 minutes. We practiced 'til lunch and continued again until 3 pm, our dismissal time. I changed my clothes for the third time today. The Intramurals will be held next next week. We can't just sit there and rest. I sat at the bench in the student's park. I called my driver and told him not to pick me up today. I want to walk home.

I was staring blankly at the grass when a pair of hands covered my eyes. A familiar scent of vanilla entered my nose.

"Vin?" She removed her hand and sat beside me.

"You didn't open the group chat. It's so peaceful, I'm not used to it." She said and pouted.

"Stop pouting, you look like a duck." I jokingly said.

"Don't make fun of it. I'm sad." She pouted even more.

"Why is our Vin sad?" I cupped her face and asked her like a kid.

"Because Yuri didn't send any message at the group chat. I didn't have the chance to bicker with her." She pouted and looked at me with puppy eyes.

"Aww, Yuri is sorry because she was busy." I hugged her and caressed her back.

"I knew it!" I heard Den's voice at my back.

"Knew what, Den?" I asked her but instead of answering she smiled suspiciously at me. I realized that I am actually hugging Vin right now. I let go of her but she's still hugging me.

"Whatever you're thinking, it's not it." I said to her.

"If you say so, I'll go now." She waved and walked to the gate.

"She thinks you're my girlfriend." I told Vin. She looked at me for a minute and hugged me again.

"What's wrong with it?" It made me stop. She's right what's wrong with it.

"Nothing." I said and hugged her again. "Are you still sad?" I whispered to her ear. I felt her shook her head. She unwrapped her arms around me and smiled at me.

"Where are your parents, by the way?"

"On a date. Should we to?" I'm kinda shocked, she's asking me out.

"You sure?" I asked her and she just nodded. We stood up and went out of the campus. We walked while talking about our hobbies and interests.

"Where do you wanna eat?" She asked me while walking.

"I know a place." I pulled her and did some turns. We stopped at a street food stall. We ate there, though she aren't familiar with some kind of foods I made her try it. She liked it and thanked me. After pigging out for almost an hour, I paid it before she get her wallet on her bag. We walked home silently.

"I enjoyed this."

"Me too."

"Wanna go for a next time?"

"Sure. Hype me up if I'm not busy, I'll go with you."
