I couldn't believe
with what I heard.
I lit up my cigarette.
Sometimes,
this thing called tobacco
could make me felt relaxed.
I exhaled a thick smoke
out of my mouth
and stared back at him.
"I thought, you don't like
getting into trouble, Daniel."
"Yes, I do not like it."
he stared back at me
with that determined eyes
and said,
"But, I begin to wonder,
why'd you like
this place?"
I was smoking,
didn't know how to answer him.
Daniel looked around
as he continued,
"You were the one
who never liked getting
involved with unnecessary things.
Why now?"
His eyes landed on mine.
I was silent,
thinking,
my mind was wandering.
He was right,
about me.
But,
if I wanted to
take an assumption.
Perhaps,
I just felt
empty.
Then I glanced back at him,
with a smirk and said,
"I just love being popular around here."
My mouth
didn't want to cooperate
with my brain.
