I think fate's really playing with me, I have already declared that I'll say yes to being Willmark's girlfriend but there's just no chance for us to meet.

The weather has mirrored my mood, the sky was covered in dark clouds and it seems like a storm is about to hit the land. My feelings grew more complicated when I learned that his phone has been blowing up from messages that girls and even guys sent him. I know since I have his account with me, I just get so irritated and annoyed at their blatant enthusiasm for him, ugh.

He's out for a game for the school and hasn't met with me though we do chat but it's not like everyday. It's been almost two weeks since the head of the P.E department called for him and made him practice along with his usual team mates and new recruits in the gym. That's another reason why I can't see him plus our course aren't the same and his classroom is in a different direction.

So I place my pen on the side and just drop my head on the cold table and scrolled down the newest feeds on my Facebook. I can only compromise with this situation, I just hope it won't stretch longer than it is. I was in the living room with my sister working on her report and my brother watching steven universe as for my mom, well, she's having a video call with our father.

"Lumpiang togue, palabok at pancit! Come and buy for a cheap price!" I heard from outside the door and instantly all the dogs barked out on the vendor.

Jerimie stood up and pushed her seat before slipping her slippers on and buying lumpiang togue with a vinegar sawsawan on the side.

I bought myself three pieces and went to the kitchen to get myself a plate, mom's still in her room having a video call, I sat down on the couch and ate. I would sometimes chat with my friends, relieve my boredom by watching food videos and satisfying my cravings for it with lumpiang togue.

After I finished moping around, I move my notebooks and finished my assignments before having an afternoon nap. But before I could shut my eyes to sleep, my phone buzzed indicating a message and my earlier sleepiness vanished into thin air.

Sorry for not replying, I just finished our practice today, how are you?

I quickly typed in my reply and sent it to him, I bit my bottom lip and waited for his reply.

I'm fine, how about you? Is practice bearable? Your studies should come first and if you're tired just tell the coach

Don't worry, I've been playing basketball for years and I've grown to become stronger from it. I'm free tomorrow, wanna go out?

Oh shoot! I have church tomorrow, tsk, such a pity. Should I just invite him to go with me to church tomorrow? But wouldn't he be tired then? Ugh! It seems like the heavens doesn't want us to meet these days!

Sorry, I can't, I have church tomorrow

Then I added a teary eyes emoticon, ugh! I feel so bitter right now!

Then... should I come with you?

I frowned reading his message, he shouldn't come with me tomorrow or else he'll get tired. I mean he's been out there practicing plus he also have his studies and assignments to finish.
