Little Things

TDBID and a Walk with him

"What exactly are you making again?" Kimberly, my history classmate,asked me for a hundred times already.

"Hmmm?" I look at her and raised my brow. " i told you its TDBID" I answered proudly.

She was laying flat on the floor,her bag placed under her head acting as her pillow, reading our history book.

"And what's that clearly means again?" Looking up at me.

I was seating Indian style beside her at the engineering complex but at the fourth floor corridor, waiting for our history class.

"It means To-Do's-Before-I-Die"  finally setting my notes aside. I look at her cobalt eyes and smiled.

After I was diagnosed with cancer and a heart ailment, I decided to write 10 things that I should do before dying. Not that hope and faith isn't their anymore for me to get better and still live, but I decided I should still be ready.

Giving me a questioning look, she raised from her  laying position and sat, then slap me hard on the right arm.

"Awwww!" Pouting, gently rubbing the part where her hands landed. It didn't hurt through. "Say - what was that for?" Some friends have some serious slapping problem here.

"Why are you making that?" Scrunching her nose in confusion. "Your not going to die are you?".

She didn't let me answer "yah of course! Why are gonna die anyway." Raising his hands up, Laughing at her own thought. "Right?".

"Yeah" nodding carefully.

'If you only knew'

"But seriously Carl, you look pathetic" She gave me tap on my back. "Stop writing that".

"Why? I like writing this up"

Some students are passing by in front of us, giving us weird looks. 'What's their problem?'

Kimberly's brow furrowed. " why? Because you look like your asking to die " she stated a matter of factly.

"Please!" Rolling my eyes.

"What? I'm serious!"

"Yes but I'm serious to, kim you never knew what will happen next, so writing this doesn't make me pathetic, its making me ready for the possibility"  mimicking his friendly tap.

"Possibility of?"

"Dying!"

" Carlene " she look at me like I was sort of an alien. 'This girl's funny'

She didn't knew I have cancer.

Only my parents and my best friend jeza knows about it. Hell I don't want them to know and pity on me. It makes me more pathetic.

Finally breaking our little "argument", my phone vibrated indicating that I have a text message.

Kimberly moved awkwardly, checking her phone to.

I picked up my  phone that was placed just beside me.

I didn't really expect the name that have popped up on the screen.

Bold fat letters of Gio's name. 'Omg!'
