The next morning i was confronted by the three crazy friends of mine. .
" so?how did it go? " said China
" go what?" i asked while fumbling inside my locker
" dont play dumb with us girl. . " Anne snapped her fingers
" come on spill. . " Zeke piped in
i sighed and walked ahead of them. .
" everything went just fine. .we went to the orphanage ive got a marriege proposal from a kid. ." i said and smiled at the thought of Robin crossed my mind. .
" and? ?"
" come on!! Tell us!! "
" nothing really we just got along just fine then someone mistaken us for a twin i mean seriously us? A twin? We dont even looked a like. . " i said whileturning to face them
" what?a twin?" China shrieked
" OMFG! !!!! " squeeled Anne
" i smell soulmates!!! " chanted Zeke
" thats what i told him last night. . " i smirked
the three of them have their jaw drop. .
" what di he say? ?" they chorus. .
I shrugged my shoulders even though my knees are turning jelly. .
" he said the he love the way i think. . Or something like that. . "
i quickly turned away and covered my ears. .
3,2.1
They screamed their hearts out. .
Yeah so i ran towards my room so i wont get punished if they got caught for screaming like that. .
" wow your friends can scream. . "
I jumped back.!!!
" damnit!! Please stop doing that to me!! " i turn to look at the person who startled me. .
" im sorry. . "
" gosh Trick!! What the eff!! " i said to cover my embarassment
he smirked at me. .
" i was about to go out when i saw you come in. . " he said and leaned cassualy on the door frame. .
' i wish to be the door frame. . '
" what are you doing here anyway?" i asked still holding my chest not because of shock but because of my traitor heart doing the back flips!!
" i visited a friend. . " he said then cocked his head to the girl in front
an aching knot in my stomach. .
" eh? ? " i teased him
he laugh. . Patts my head then openned the door on the exact moment my friends was about to open it. .
Their eyes widened. .
" meet me later ok? You know the place. . " he said then walked out. .
I stood there. .
With my mouth hanging open. .
' what the hell just happen? ?'
" wow. . Another date? " Anne asked me while Zeke dragged me across the room. .
Yeah luckily i jave entrepreneur sub with the three of them. .
" she totally lost it. . " said China when i didnt respond
" she's under shocked. . " Zeke said. .
Still i didnt respond. .
Whats happening? ? ?
What the hell is happening? ?
" someone here is silent. . " Zeke said while sipping his coffee. .
Were at the coffee shop right now. .
Doing our business plan for our entrepreneur. .
But were actually just chillin here and not doing anything. .
" come one Skye. . What happened in there? " asked Anne
" yeah you look shaken. . " China added. .
" nothing really i was just shock thats all. . " i said while toying the straw. .
" yeah right. . " China snorted
" what is Trick doing there anyway?" Zeke piped in
" is he looking for you? ?" asked Anne excitedly. .
I sighed. .
" thats what i thought at first. . "
" what? His not visiting you?" China's forhead knotted
" then who?i mean the engineering department is on the other side of the campus. . " Anne pointed out
" is he with his friends?" Zeke said
i put my hand on my forhead.
Their questions are not helping at all. .
" he sais he's visiting a friend. ." i said. .
" ahhh i see. . " they said in unison. .
" a girl friend. . " i said emphasizing the word girl
Zeke choked
Anne dropped her pen
China's eyws bulged
i looked down the table. .
This blushing is gonna stop now!!!
Its embarrassing!!!
" Skye as you have said a friend. . " China said after her initial shock. .
" yeah and besides if ever that their dating their not yet official. . " said Anne
" wow guys. . Unfortunately this is not making me feel any better. . " i grumbled
" lets not put malice in it ok. " said Zeke
" Skye look. If their going out shouldnt he not ask you out?" explained China
" yeah i mean thats right hes not going to ask you out if he already have a you know. . " Anne said
" stop it guys. . When we go out its different. . We go out as friends. . No malice " i said
" but----" Zeke was about to argue
" drop it please. . And guys stop reading Trick's actions. . " i cut him off
the three of them just nodded and changed topic. .
Im already having a hard time with my mom right now. .
Besides hearing hin talk about another girl makes me feel like suffocating. .
So better not talk about it. .
I closed my eyes. .
' im going to have a rough road ahead of me. . '
i didnt plan to go to the park but i passed it. . Just want to see if he's there. .
He said after class. .
Its monday so his class is till 6pm. .
So he'll be here at 6:30. .
I checked my watch. .
Almost 6. .
I was about to walk away when someone called me. .
" Skye please lets talk. . "
" dad. . What are you. . "
" please just give me a chance to tell you something. . " he said
" im not interested dad. . " i said then turned to walk away. .
But he held my arm. .
And damn it sting!!!
" let go of me. . " i said in a low voice the sun is setting and few people are hanging around the park. .
I dont want to cause a commotion. .
" stop being hostile to me im still your father. . You pulling of my patience fast. . So you listened to me. . " he gritted his teeth. .
" you have no right to loose patience with me!! Youve lost that right when you. ." i snapped pointed a finger at him
" you abandoned us for some cheap whore!! Dad. . "
i told him adding a hint of sarcasm with the word dad. .
He raised a hand as if to slap me when someone blocked my way. .
" Trick. . " i said almost out of breath when i recognized his back. .
" you shouldnt raise your hand with your daugther. . " he said in a low voice
some people are looking at us already. .
" get away from my daugther. . I ought to teach her some respect. . " my dad said in a warning tone. .
" no. . " was all Trick said
i touched his arms. .
He turn to look at me. .
I just cocked my head and he stepped aside without asking me. .
" respect dad? ?you dont deserve one. . " i told him
he lowered his arm. .
" i just want to tell you how sorry i am. . " he said
" leave dad. . " was all i said. .
I cant even bring myself to look at him. .
He just left then. .
I felt Tricks hands on my shoulder supporting me. .
I turned to look at him. .
I smiled at him faintly. .
" here come. . You need to take a seat. . " he said then walk me to the nearest benches
" im sorry Trick. ." i said not daring to look at him. .
" hey theres nothing to be sorry about. . " he said while patting my head. .
" i never wanted for anyone to see that. . " i said shyly
" hey its ok i wont judge you. . " he said then turned to look at the sunset
" but im relieved that it was you who saw that. . " i said then looked at the sunset too. .
" i know your hurt Skye but its not that hard to forgive you know. . " he said
i snorted. .
" how would you know. . " i huffed
" well im from a broken family too. . I know what its like. .And i understand how you feel. . " he said and a sad smile crossed his face. .
" im sorry. . " i said bowing my head
im such a looser to this kind of talks. .
He touched my chin with his finger then made me look at him. .
" do you think im sorry?" he asked now with twinkle in his eyes
" but just a while ago. . " i looked at him confused
" it makes me sad when i talked about it but im not bitter anymore. . I already forgive him and i feel better afterwards. . Then i moved on, my whole family moved on. . " he said while smiling. .
" really.? Where is he now? " i asked after he took his finger back
He laugh. .
" what? ?" i asked
" actually were still banned to talk to him. . We forgive him but that doesnt mean we accepted him again. . You can say that my mom is still bitter about it. . " he said like he's remembering something
" but did you? I mean do you still talk to him?"
" yeah when i get a chance. . Because no matter what happen hes still my dad and i happen to have two half siblings with him. . " he said
" really? I do too you know. . Never saw them. . " i said and suddenly felt a lump in my throat
" you should you know. . Maybe it will give you a reason to forgive your father. . It will give you a peace of mind. ." he said then look at me. .
I look at him. .
Then i saw Trick in a new light. .
Wow he is really something. .
The same happened like before. .
I was feeling down and so depressed. .
But looking at me now. .
You can say that i didnt feel any of those. .
" wait right here. . " he said then run to the nearest vending machine. .
" here. . Freshen up. . " he said while handing me a bottle of mogu mogu. .
Its a juice with nata inside. .
" thank you. . " i said. .
Then he told me about his day in between drinking. .
We broke into fits of laughter while he tells me about what happened to his friend being chased by a dog. .
" he was running like crazy and the best part is that were all there just standing on the side of the rode while the dog kept on chasing him. . And only him. . " he said again. .
" he must have done something like eat a dog before. . " i said and he laugh
" he must have. . " Trick said while wiping some tears that escaped his eyes because of laughing so hard. .
I didnt notice that i stopped laughing and just stared at him until he took notice of my silence. .
" hey. .am i boring you?" he asked
" no. . No. . I was just thinking about what you said. . " i tell
i can feel my cheeks heating up thats why i looked down
" youll be fine. . I know you will. . " he said
" you really believed that? " i asked in disbelief
he looked at me straight to my eyes. .
Smile then patts my head. .
" yes i believe in you. . " he said then i saw him blushed. .
I smiled back. .
He look shock then pulled back his hand and covered his face. .
Like he always do when he blushes. .
Kawaii!!!!
" its getting late. . " he mumbled
" yeah so ive notice. . " i said qhile standing up. .
" are you sure youre ok? " he asked when we reached the street where we seperate ways
" yes. . " i said. .
" yosh. . Take care ok. . " he said then turned to walk away. .
" Trick!! " i called after him
He stopped and look at me
" yeah? "
" thank you. . So much. . " i said then run away. .
I can do this. .
He believes in me and i wont dissapoint him. .
Ill do my best. .
Im a prodigy after all. .
When i reached home i saw Reign and Renz studying at the table. .
Seriously wow. .
Handsdown Renz. .
" hey guys. . " i greeted them
" hey ill reheat the food for you. . " said Reign. .
" hey boss. . " Renz saluted me
i laugh. .
" hold up Reign lets just order some pizza ok. . " i said then reached for the phone
" really? Ok " she said
" are you with Trick a while ago? " Renz asked
i stopped dialing
" what? " i asked
yeah just mention his name and mind gets blank. .
" nothing its just that he loves drinking that stuff. . " he said while pointing at my empty bottle of mogu mogu. .
" ah yeah we decided to walk home together. . Then we passed this vending machine. . " i said omitting some thing that will to my father issues. .
" he did that?" he asked disbelief in his voice
even Reign listens to him now
" yeah why? I mean he does that all the time. . " i said nervously flipping the phone directory
" yeah he does. . He treats his friends with anything but not that drink. . " he said
" really? Why?" asked Reign while looking at me with curiosity
i cocked an eyebrow at her
" hmm well lets see Trick is kind of possessive to the things he like. . He doesnt want to share. . " Renz said
" well maybe he's not that possessive now. . " i said
Reign was about to argue when i found the pizza delivery number.
" here it is, " i said then dialled the number. .
Its nothing Skye. .
Renz is just saying that. .
He is not serious. .
Or maybe Trick just want me to feel better thats why he shared me his favorite drink. .
Damn Renz for making me rattle like this. .
" ok guys ill be upstairs heres the money call me when the pizza arrive im starving. . " i said then went to my room with my heart racing. .
My phone beeped. .
Now who would text me now. .
When i open it. .
I found two messages. .
One from Zeke asking if we have assignment for tomorrow and the other one is from. . .
OMG!!!!!
Its from him!!!!
---hey dont feel bad about earlier ok?you can do it. . I believe in you. .
Thats said it. .
Am i dreaming? ?
I reread the text but i cant think of a better reply. .
---im fine now. .Thank you and thanks for the drink too. . XD
My heart is beating like crazy when i hit the send button. .
" Skye!!! Pizza's here!!!! " yelled Reign from downstairs. .
" coming!!! " i yelled back. .
This is going to be a long night. .
