Keeping You Awake

Dream.05

''So, I heared the director was HOT. And he went to your class!'' Akira rolled her eyes growing annoyed by Serri's shrieks and fan girling over the director from earlier.

They are currently in the cafeteria having their lunch. And all Akira could hear was about the event plus her encounter with him.

Apparently, news spread out and now there are many different versions of it. There was one where she was said to have been in a heated argument with him, that isn't even a percent accurate of what really happened.

There's much worse like her flirting and trying to seek for the director's attention the reason for her sudden oral recitation gone wrong. Akira paid no attention to all of the fuss but Serri totally reminded her of that.

This time she was planning to skip tomorrow's event as to avoid meeting the director like she's even gonna see him amongst thousands of crowds but still. Better escape while you can than run when you already can't.

''How's your preparation going?'' She suddenly remembered how Serri is participating for the event.

''Oh, thought you forgot about that. But well, I've got it all covered. My team's just waiting for the official launch.''

''Of course, who are we referring to? Serriel Diaz, the university' pride, our top scientist.''

''It could have been you'' Serri spoke nonchalantly.

''Huh?'' Akira couldn't hear Serri as the crowd grew loud because of the sudden commotion going on. Turned out the so adored and famous director decided to make a show by eating lunch in the cafeteria.

''Really? It's not like the university didn't prepare any buffet or something for our beloved guest.'' She retorted smuggly.

''Who would even believe that?'' Akira hated the guts of this director. She refused to believe the university didn't organized everything as to accomodate their guest perfectly. He is after all a representative of the world.

''He is indeed hot and sexy and delicious.''

''Serriel!''

''Oops not my bad, meant it. But hey he might want so see you Aki. Look he's coming our way --- or not.''

''Is this seat vacant?'' Zach passed through their table and went straight to the back.

''Ye-ye-Yes!'' The nerd girl grew flustered while the other girls were infuriated. Just how lucky could a nerdy girl be.

''I could have known better. He's up to something.'' Akira turned to look at the director only to see him watching her intently. Their eyes met and it sent chills down her spine. She immeditely withdrew her gaze breaking their eye contact. She turned her back against him and continued eating.

''Finally, my bestfriend's gonna have her dose of the happily-ever-after syndrome.'' Serri exclaimed dreamily, Akira almost choked.

''Not gonna happen. I reprobate to being a variable in that 'love' experiment of yours.'' she replied firmly.

''By the way, would Uncle make an appearance tomorrow?'' Akira diverted the conversation as she was not a fan of it.

''Dad? He is actually on his way now from his trip to New York. We are going to have dinner tonighg and when I said we are that includes you.''

''I'm fine Serri, it's your family dinner.''

''Akira, you are a family, don't forget about that.''

Akira, smiled helplessly. She really couldn't say no specially now that Serri called her by name. Which either meant she's serious, angry or worried.

''I'm sorry. I didn't mean any harm by saying that. Will you prepare a dress for me? I don't want to look a mess in front of your parents.''

''Oh sure! Leave it all to me.'' Serri replied with her mischievous smile.

Akira instantly regretted saying that. For sure, Serri has planned another operation Help Akira for tonight.

The day went pretty fast and Akira is now sitting in for her last class. Just waiting for the bell to rang to signal the end of the day. Their professor never came and her classmates all left but she stayed. Serri is still having her last class and so she decided to just wait for her.

I am searching for the one I can't see anymore.
I am listening for the one I can't hear anymore.

Closing her eyes and just feeling the music she didn't notice a shadow that is slowly approaching her. A sudden knock on her desk disturbed her.

As she opened her eyes, appeared before her is a familiar face, looking intently at her.

Those eyes. They're staring straight back at me again. And it hurts.
