Sometimes,
this thing called tobacco
could make me felt relaxed.I exhaled a thick smoke

and stared back at him."I thought, you don't like

he stared back at mewith 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,

take an assumption.Perhaps,

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.
