Staring At You Passionately

Chapter 3

Mayer Murphy

It's an exhausting Friday, filled with lecturing and note-taking for a program subject and an oral activity, visual report, and a quiz in three minor subjects. I managed to survive this day with the help of my circle. I am blessed to have this set of people around me, whom I can be myself and lean on to when I'm at my darkest days.

"Ughh! I'm freaking hungry, I can literally eat a whole turkey at this point!" Chastity blustered with her annoyingly unpleasant high pitched voice.

"Hey spoiled ass! Stop being a baby!" Rygel replied to Chastity while he rolled his eyes irritatingly.

Chastity and Rygel always have time to fight about anything, even a single penny can be a topic of their argument. Every day and everywhere is a battlefield of contradicting ideas from both of them. Chastity is a Pink and bubbly person, plus her beautiful facade that made her stand out in the crowd.

On the other hand, Rygel is the naturally intelligent person in our circle. His hobby is sleeping and to just stare at the windows, but all of his tardiness will completely wash out when Chastity starts to bluff around us. Their arguments are music to our ears now, making us immune with their non-stop conflicts.

As both of them continue their nonsense feud, I remained on my seat with Lindsay and Veronika. The three of us don't meddle with Chastity and Rygel's blustering disagreements. We mostly talk about our assignments and paper works.

Lindsay is a reserved and an observant person who chooses to be silent. Someone who lets her actions do its job, but don't be fooled by her angelic face, oftentimes she shows the grumpy pretentious bitchiness she has on her bag when Chastity and Rygel are going beyond their arguments that destroys her inner peace.

Veronika is the countryside girl. A sweet, loud, and evidently an optimistic person. Everyone in the class loves her, especially her captivating smile. Sometimes she involves herself with Chastity and Rygel's conversation making the whole room chaotic and filled with clamorous nonsense quarrel.

"Hey! What's with the shouting?" Wright annoyingly questioned Chastity and Rygel while yawning, as both of them disturbed his luxurious time.

Chastity and Rygel immediately stopped and looked at each other. They pointed their fingers to him and laughed exaggeratedly, making the three of us also cackling when we saw Wright's face marked with red zipper blotted perfectly in his cheeks because of the bag that he used as a pillow for him to sleep with.

Wright is an assertive person, he likes to be involved with every extracurricular activity where he's interested on. He is determined and wholeheartedly gives his 100% effort as long as he's enjoying it , but most of the time he's absent-minded especially with class activities and assignments. Don't belittle him, he's an Amateur Gold-tier Crammer! Even though he lacks in time management, he still receives amazing remarks.

Lastly, Jacob Slate, the Marketing Jock. A blanked face, sleepy head,  and also the most silent in the group. But if its only Me and him, he is a total reciprocal. He talks and bluffs a lot. He is mostly in the field, training for his competition or sometimes at the library not to read, but playing Pokemon.

He is not around right now with us, he is excused due to intensive training of the track and field athletes due to their approaching competition.

As I look to my friends individually, I can see our differences but we definitely work well despite the dissimilarities.

The bell rings as a sign of the end of our class. Its Friday, 7:00 in the evening and it's been our itinerary every end of weekdays to have fun, catch up with each other, and to  exhale all the stress we've been through after an extremely long and tiring week, but it seemed to be not like the same Friday night after class as we are not complete tonight. I've already reached out to Jacob, but he keeps on hanging up my call.
