(A/N) READ MY NEW FILIPINO STORY PLEASE!!
Chapter 23:
“What do you want to be after we graduate?”
“A doctor, maybe? Or a fashion designer, an actress? Ugh! I don’t know. Haha” I say to him.
“Wow, you have a lot of dreams, young lady!”
“Well, I do! What about you? What do you want?”
“Same as your first one.” Ooohh! That’s great!
“Really? You know, great minds think alike!”
“Hahaha. Touché.” William says.
“Then we’ll go to Harvard Medical School!”
“Nah, I don’t like it there.”
William and I are here at a café, near the school. It’s past 12 o’clock and we’re having our lunch while talking about our so-called “dreams.”
It’s been three weeks already. Yeah, time has gone by so fast. William and I got along pretty well together with my best friends and other friends! Well, except for Asher, obviously. It’s also been three weeks. Not only that, it has also been three weeks of hell. It’s hard, alright? Damn hard! Sometimes we would come across with each other in the hallways, together with his girlfriend. The sad thing was he doesn’t even put an eye on me. From time to time, we’d be sitting on the same table and I would feel really awkward because some of them were only talking and the both of us chose not to. It hurts because he doesn’t even seem at least a bit affected by what happened to us. He would always show up like a cool guy who doesn’t know me or knows I’m existing, while on the other hand I would feel so down and hurt. Sometimes I wonder, did he really consider me as his best friend? Because if I were to answer, I would say no.
Well, he would always say that to me. He would say things like “Thank God I became your best friend” or something like that. I always feel touched, really. But right now, he’s showing the opposite which hurts me so much.
“Hey, when are they coming?” He snaps me back to reality.
“Uhm, I think they’re almost here.” We decided to go to the mall, together with Tanya and Stacy. No, actually they decided. They just forced me to come. They said that I need some time to relax and forget about things. They know that “shopping” is one of my ways to let go of my stress. Good friends they are, right?
“Hey guy and gal!” Here they are!
“Heeeyy!” William greets them.
“Yow!”
“Why are you late?” I question them.
“Hi to you too!”
“It’s Ms. Reynolds. She made us do a lot of things before she let us out!” Haha. Typical Ms. Reynolds.
“Can we order first before going? I’m kinda getting hungry!”
“Hurry up!” I say.
Well there. They made us wait for about thirty minutes more before deciding to head out. I want to go to a book store! I want to buy the new book that they’re talking about. Do you know “Endless Summer”? They say it’s a really good book and I want to try it!
“Where will you ride?” Stacy asks me as soon as we got out of the café. Before I could answer, William interrupts.
“She’s riding with me.” It’s fine with me.
“Okay!”
As I’ve said a while ago, William and I got closer for the past three years that we’ve been together. It’s kinda weird because we got closer compared to my other guy friends, except for Asher of course.
Ugh! Why is he always occupying my thoughts! I’m getting weirder and weirder every day! Heeeeelp!
So yeah. I can already consider him as my guy best friend. Wait… my SECOND guy best friend. Of course, I can’t replace Asher easily, even though he might’ve replaced me already. Here comes my sudden dramatizing again!
Okay, back to what I was saying. I consider William as my second guy best friend but compared to my first one, Asher really is the best! I don’t know why. I just feel comfortable when I’m with him. He makes me feel happy when I see him, and that’s good, right? He already knows what happened to me and my best friend and told me that he’s stupid for letting someone like me go. Aaww, I’m touched. Haha. Sometimes he would pick me up at my house then we’d carpool on the way to school.
“We’re here!” He tells me.
I unbuckle my seatbelt and get out of the car. I love this mal. Not only because it’s big and has all the stores that I love, but also because of the fresh air that I’m breathing right now. We enter the mall.
“Where do you want to go first?” Stacy asks me.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll just buy something for my little sister.” Aaaww, how cute!
“It’s okay. We’ll go with you.”
“Nah, you girls go ahead.”
“What do you know about girl stuffs?” I ask him jokingly.
“Uhh, like everything?” He says as he imitates a girl with a flirty voice which makes us laugh.
“Okay, okay. Fine!”
“Okay, see you later. I’ll just text you guys!”
“So, where do you girls want to go?”
“Ask Paige since we forced her to go with us.”
“I wanna go buy a book.”
“Then bookstore it is.”
So we head to the bookstore. Actually, if they didn’t force me to go they wouldn’t agree, but since they did, they have no choice!
I search the shelves of books in front of me. Wooooowwww! My kind of Disneyland!
I’m here in the Romance section while my girls are in the magazines. Novels are not their thing!
“68 dollars please.” I bought seven books. I hope I would have a lot of time reading these.
“Here.”
“Thank you. Enjoy reading!”
We head out of the store. Hmmm, what’s next?
“I want to go to Aero.”
“What are you going to buy?”
“I need new jeans and shorts!”
Aeropostale is one of my fave places to buy jeans and shorts! They’re comfortable to wear!
“Stacy, Tanya! What do you think?” I say as I show them the ones I picked.
“Those look nice.”
Suddenly, a polo shirt caught my eye and I fell in love with it instantly! This would look good on Asher, but it would also look good William. I’ll buy this and give it to him as a thank you gift.
“Is that for Asher?”
“Well no. It’s for William.” I smile at them.
“Hmm, I smell something fishy.”
“Whaaat?” I ask them.
“Are you starting to like him?” If I’m currently eating something right now, I might’ve choked on it.
“Of course not! Can’t I buy him a thank you gift?”
I just want to give him a thank you gift. I want to thank him for being friends with me. I’m blessed to have someone like him in times like this. I need new friends! But sometimes, I can’t help thinking… am I starting to like him? Hmmmm.
“Whatever you say.”
We’re feeling tired already so we decided to drink coffee again. I must say, I’m a coffee addict. It’s been a long time since we had our girl bonding!
“You guys order for me and I’ll find us some seat.”
“Okay, make sure you message William.”
I search for an empty table. While searching, something caught my eye… again!
OMG!
I’m getting a lot of OMGs lately!
