"So you're gonna enroll yourself next month? Have you talked to Noah already?" Sam asked. We're now here at the convenient store and yeah, a day had passed again and still we're struggling to hire a full-time employee.
"Not yet. You know I was just his part-timer.."
"And why is that really?" She asked again.
"What do you mean?" I arch a brow.
She placed the sandwich on the side and turn her full attention to me. This girl's really intimidating when she's looking at me like this. I'm thinking a lot of things and I don't know which of them are the one's she thinks.
"Why did you become a part-timer if you can be his full-time employee?" She gave me a piercing eyes like she's trying to get some information to me.
What a crazy witch.
"Just b-because.." I looked away.
I didn't want to talk about myself and I hate explaining things. That's my weirdest side of me that my friends noticed.
"You're avoiding the topic bitch!" Jess's pulled my hair a little.
"I'm not bitch!" I glared at her.
Seriously? If I don't want to talk about it, they should respect that! But since they're my friends and they're so evil to me, they would try to persuade me to tell it to them.
Damn it!
"I'm not going to answer that, end of the story." I am more concern of how should I say that I'll enroll next month and there's 2 weeks that's left.
"I bet Noah's also wondering about it since Raine wasn't working in any establishments or companies.." I can feel that they mean to make me hear it.
"Yeah. She's always inside her room and I don't know what she's up to--"
"Guys, I'm here remember? I can hear you." I rolled me eyes.
"That's our purpose bitch. We want you to hear what Noah might wonder if he finds out that you're not working after your hours with him." Jess's says.
Yeah. I thought of that too, multiple times especially when he's sending me off home.
"Don't let him think that you're hiding something from him, okay?" Sam tapped my shoulder and opened the canned beer and offered to me.
"Okay," I smiled and took it from her.
And that way, we all drank our beers. It's just funny that we're still wearing our work's outfits while drinking outside of this convenient store.
"So this is how it feels to be in a circle of friends?" Sam says while laughing.
"Why? Don't you have some friends in your place?" Gia asked. Well, I want to ask that too.
I somehow wonder if Sam's really happy when she left Washington. Did she made some friends before?
"Never! They won't talk to me either!" She laughed like she finds it funny. "And why is that? People like that are just dumb. They would be lucky if they become friends with you!" I felt so sorry for those people. Gosh! It's Samantha for pete's sake! She's nice and beautiful!
"Well. My dad did it," She laughed again but this time there's a bitterness in her tone.
"What do you m-mean?" I was the one who asked.
She drinks again and eat some potato chips. I wanted to sit beside her but Gia's already sitting there.
"He forbids everyone who tries to approach me. He doesn't want me to make friends and I don't know what's the reason..seriously, until now.. I still don't know.." Her eyes watered as she stared at me.
Oh my god. This is the first time that she opened up to us. She seemed heart broken and I want to hug her.
I stood up and went to her back. I gave her a back hug where's she could feel that I'm with her.
"Oh, sorry! I got carried away with my feelings. I forgot that we should hang out happily and not going on with my dramas!" She chuckled and wiped her tears.
"No. That's fine. If you need us, you can tell your problems Sam. We're not friends just to have fun, we're also friends to share our problems to one another to ease the pain.." Gia held her hand and smiles.
Oh, I forgot that my friends also have their own problems. I'm not the only one who's struggling.
"Thank you guys.."
I went to my seat and watched my friends having a good time with each other. I know if I study and graduate soon, I would become like them too. That I'll have my own career according to my skill and degree. I want that too..
And to my dreams with Noah. I want to be the girl who achieved her dreams to be able to be happy and contented with the man I love.
I want it all..so bad.
"What about you, Gia? How are you and your Attorney?" Jess's voice was teasing.
Gia's a bit pissed as she heard the two girl's laughs. Well, something's fishy about them since I saw her eyes yesterday like she just cried.
But I'll just chose to shut my mouth. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable again.
We'll wait until she finally opens it up to us. "Why are you asking me? We're not even friends!" She rolled her eyes.
I wanna laugh at her reaction, because she's obviously lying to us. I noticed some changes to her, she's always active where she's not before. She wants to hang out now unlike before that she's always on work.
She's hiding something..
"I saw him yesterday.." I smirked when she froze. She's not looking but I know she's listening. "He's.."
I meant to cut the end so I could determine if she's interested or not.
But I know, she's interested anyway..
I bit my lower lip to stop my laugh as she clenched her fist. She's seriously containing herself to curse at me.
"Why? Did you see him with a girl? Oh, that would be exciting!" Jess's clapped. She's somehow useful for my plan.
I chuckled and stared at Gia again. She's still silent and stiffed on ther position like she's careful on hearing everything.
What a great view.
"He's.." I smirked at them.
Sam also tried to focus on me and gave me a curious look. I want to tell them my plan but Gia would notice it. She's a great mind reader.
But I think she's lost for a moment. With the way she act, it's funny.
"Hey! Tell us!" Jess's seemed excited.
"You're so excite--"
"JUST TELL US! GODDAMN IT!" Gia shouted which made us all stunned.
Her eyes were full of annoyance that I just realized now. I wanted to laugh but her face was so serious like she's about to kill me now.
I closed my mouth and tried to looked away. God! She's scary!
"I-i..just w-want to tell you t-that..he's finally b-breathing fine.." I showed my teeth and gave her a peace sign so she wouldn't get angry at me.
Oh god. Her face was now blushing and the way she moved her jaw, I know she's clenching it now! Fuck!
"G-gi.." I muttered but she stood up.
Oh my god. She attacked me! So I run as fast as I can to get away from her!
"Alright! Run bitches so you could sweat in this cold whether!" Jess's shouted as I heard their laughs.
Demons!
"How could you played with me like that bitch! Are you getting your revenge now?" She greeted her teeth as we faced each other on the small table.
"No! Why would I?" I arch a brow.
"It's because I used to distant Noah from you before! Stupid!" She shouted.
We continued to be like that until we get tired. Well, it's not bad since it's the first time that I sweat again. I can't even do an exercise in the morning with my hectic schedule so this is good.
But it's scary! Grr.
When we get home, my body was urging me to go straightly in bed so I did. I felt so lazy like I don't want to shower but I gathered all my strength to stand up and wash up on the bathroom.
The next morning, I woke up late since it's weekend. Noah's kind of considerate since I didn't heard him call me that early. But when I woke up, I saw plenty of messages from him.
It's all about 'good morning', 'did you have your breakfast already?', 'are you awake?', 'call me after you ready this', etc.
I smiled at the other cheesy messages from him so I tapped my phone to replied to all of it. He's so sweet and caring gosh!
When I checked the clock, it's already 10 in the morning. Well, it's not that late so I could still have my breakfast.
While eating on the kitchen, I was texting Noah. He's really stubborn, I told him that I'll just have my breakfast be he's insisting to have it together at the same time! So in other words, we're like stupid eating our breakfast while texting!
This guy's rude!
He told me that he waited for me to wake up so we could eat our breakfast at the same time. How sweet of him, but I can't concentrate it.
So we decided to just talk in videocall so we could eat while watching each other. That's a pretty good idea than the other one earlier, though.
"Let's have a date, later." He suddenly says, so I almost throw out my food on my mouth.
Fuck!
"Are you okay?" He asked while laughing.
"Can't you just say that after we finished eating?" I asked sarcastically while wiping my mouth.
That's pretty embarrassing!
"Well, that's not my thing. I like surprising you." He smirked and winked at me.
Gosh! I'm gonna have a heart attack in this early age! This man's making my heart pound so very fast in any time!
Goddamn it.
