The Seed

A Game of Tag

RAM'S POV

It's been around 3 weeks already since I came back from my treatment. Catching up with school work was no joke and I was pretty occupied with a lot of stuff which got me busy almost everyday. It's a Saturday today and I'm even stuck here at my condo doing some paper works for my project.

You'd probably think that I'd be totally stressed because of those school work but I'm not. I already expected it. Plus I have my friends who's been very supportive with me. I'd always be thankful to them for doing that.

Now, if you'd ask me why I'm still ranting?

'Well not verbally though coz I don't talk frequently so those rants pretty much happens within my thoughts only.'

Anyways, let's go back to the topic. As I was saying. I was ranting because I was indeed stressed. Not because of school work but mainly because of a certain someone who's been a handful this past few weeks.

Who might that be? You'd probably know already. It's the always stubborn and persistent senior, P'King.

Eversince I came back he's been acting really weird. Let's start from those pastries that he gave. What's he trying to do with that? I mean he came to just drop it off and left afterwards. I don't have any problems with that but still, why? He's probably feeling guilty because he found out what happened and he's trying to apologize with that???

Well, what's done is done and I don't really care anymore about it. I survived it and I'm back to normal I guess so we can already forget about it. I don't need him to feel guilty about that and all the more that I don't want him to pity me for going through that.

I thought that was it. After the weird hug and 'I miss you' the day before and the bag of pastries the following day then he's done. But no, P'King became weirder as each day progresses.

He'd be popping out of nowhere all of a sudden. It's as if he has his own eagle eye and would always be wherever I was.

I also noticed that he's been into giving me stuff this past few weeks. From sweets to chocolates, flowers and even letters.

I felt like being on a feeding program with the amount of treats that he's been giving me. But seriously though, he's been giving me a lot out of nowhere.

I'd be lying if I'd say that I didn't feel anything about it coz I definitely do. But I just don't know how to put it into words. It feels weird. Do I like it? I honestly don't know. It's giving me mixed feelings that I don't even wanna feel at all.

What confused me more was his letters. I'd understand that he wants to apologize but saying that you like me and you wanna know me more? 'Psshh...You like me? Seriously P'King? You're just feeling guilty and that's not necessary.'

I just wish that P'King would stop confusing me. If it's forgiveness that he wants then he has it already. But I can't deal with any of his antics anymore. So for the past few weeks, while P'King was busy getting my attention I was also busy avoiding him.

It became a game of tag where both sides won't give up.

I even remembered the conversation that I had with the gang a week ago. I decided to consult them and ask them of their ideas on how I could with this situation.

****flashback

I was busy studying with the gang as always. We were sitting inside the library when Duen started to speak.
