Ask for the moon

Chapter 1

I looked around at the other porters that I could see because they were wearing bellhop uniforms, so I was able to identify what they were. Right now, I will apply here at a hotel that my friend is staying at. I wonder if I sit here? Wearing a black blazer, white sleeved top, and a suiting bottom above my knees and heels. I walked confidently, I looked at my wristwatch to realize that I was too early. There were a few people who looked at me if I was confident before, but now my stomach suddenly turned upside down as if they also knew that I was just acting confident.

The other porters smiled at me as they all knew why I was here because of what I was wearing. Mom and Dad don't want me to work, they want me to focus on my studies and not work hard to earn money. I can keep up. Fortunately, I have a friend who works here and let me work. In the distance, I saw Angel greeting other people he meets and behaving toward him.

"I'll accompany you to Ms. Faith, the Supervisor of Guest Services," he pulled her along. "Don't worry because that's kind and we've closed it. I also told you that my friend will apply which is you," she said and looked around.

I clutched my chest as I felt an intense nervousness. Even if Angel said that Ms. Faith is kind, I still feel a little nervous. Angel continued to pull me and stopped in front of a metal door, twisted hard to open.

Angel smiled "Good morning, Ms. Faith," Angel greeted her. "My friend is here to apply," she uttered and excused herself.

I took a deep breath, I even gave the door that Angel came out of with an afterthought. I immediately walked up to a woman with a smile on her face. My estimate is that he is only a few years older than me. How can she look pretty with her pencil-cut and white plain blouse?!

"I'm Yoreh Selene Antares," I introduced and greeted her, holding out my hand.

"I'm the Supervisor of Guest Services, Faith Villanueva," she shook my hand and smiled. "Take a seat," she ordered and pointed to the seat in front of her.

"I already sent my resume to this hotel's online application," I mumbled.

I thought several times if I should really apply since I have no experience but I also want to fill my needs! Buy trendy clothes! Buy something else. I just really don't want even the things I want to buy to come from the money my parents give me. It's really different when you see something that you worked hard to buy. I worked hard, not my parents.

Mrs. Faith nodded "Yes, we read your resume. So, you're still studying, right?" she asked while playing with the parker ballpoint pen she was holding. I wanted to scold her because what the hell?! That's Parker, Ma'am.

"Yes, M.W.F and the rest are days when I'm available," I desperately said.

We talked a lot and sometimes we even laughed because of what she said. Angel is right, Ms. is kind. Faith. I was eventually assigned as a front desk clerk. He also said that in some hotels, a degree and years of experience are required before entering such a job. I was also told that I can start tomorrow because tomorrow is Tuesday and I don't have school. I should be able to allocate eight hours to each job and the salary ends every fifteen days, which is not bad.

Fortunately, Ms. has principles. Faith that "An applicant's ability is not based on degree or experience but on how far she can handle it." at first I didn't get it because I was really slow and now when I go home I get it as if he is saying "Don't be judgmental about what the other person has achieved" and "Don't let it be the basis."

A while ago, I was accompanied by Ms. Faith to see how the front desk clerks are doing. It wasn't too difficult so I was a little excited. I smiled and looked at the paper bag I was holding. This is where my uniform is kept for tomorrow so I carefully put it on my bed.

I'm here now in the apartment Angel and I rent. I got dressed and cooked because Angel was coming home later that night. He also works 8 hours, all I know is that he is room service. Delivers food to guests who don't want to go downstairs to buy their own food. After I finished cooking and eating, I just read my notes because maybe on Wednesday our other prof will have a surprise quiz again.

BSEd- Social Studies or known as Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in Social Studies is the degree I took. Yes, I will be a teacher. Because Mama likes us and we are a family of teachers. I have so many dreams that I don't know what to choose. I want to be a nurse or doctor but I can't because I'm afraid of blood. I mean, I feel weak when I see a wound with blood coming out! I also want to be an architect or engineer. I also have many passions. Passionate about painting and designing gowns but maybe I'm not passionate enough. Sometimes I also wanted to be a secret agent but I didn't tell anyone because I just wanted to be a secret.

"How are you, Yoreh Selene my friend?!" Angel asked after entering my room. "I heard from the front desk clerks? You can do it! You can do it," she smiled and hugged me.

I took a deep breath and hugged her too. This friend of mine is really clingy but just now, I wonder why. I laughed "Why are you clingy now, Angel? What do you want?" I asked and let go of the hug. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just pouted and stared at me.

"I'll help you do our research paper. I was assigned to the introduction and significance of the study but I'm about to finish the intro on the signifi---"

I cut her off and nodded "All right, I'll do it for the significance of the study. I know you've already tired so I'll take a break and take care of it as a thank you because you recruited me to the J Hotel. I'll take it I'll just write down the explanation," I promised and closed the filler I was holding earlier and opened the laptop that was on the study table.

"Omg! Thank you! I really can't because I was sleepy with too many guests earlier," she pouted while handing flash disk drive. "That's where the others assigned to my other groupmates might help. Thank you very much!" he happily promised and yawned.

I just nodded and smiled. When he left my room, I started to do what he asked me to do. Just always help us both. Through my ups and downs, thin and thick she's always there beside me and cheering me up.

She is Angel Delos Reyes.

She is a good friend of mine.

My unique and noisy friend.

Angel is a rare person because she's real.

For me, what he is doing is easy, it just requires a broad understanding.

I heard someone turn the doorknob "Are you about to finish? If not, I'll go to sleep and take care of it. I'll do it tomorrow at school," she smiled at me.

I looked up at him and smiled. "It's done, you'll be in charge of editing the format," she handed her his flash drive.

She smiled "Thank you! Go ahead and drink that and go to sleep. It starts tomorrow, right?" she sincerely said.

"You're welcome," I promised and drank the milk he brought.

"Alright," she said before shutting off the door.

After I finished drinking milk, I fell into my soft bed. It was eleven o'clock at night so I closed my eyes tightly.

And all went black.

I woke up because of the light that hit my face. I can still hear the crash of some kind of metal below, probably our other things in the kitchen like glasses, spoons, and forks that Angel is washing are falling down. The apartment is tiled and my bedroom door is open so I can hear it. They say that when a fork falls, a guest will come. I wonder how about when the spoon fell? Have a visitor coming?

"Yoreh! Wake up! Your shift is at 10 am today!" I heard Angel shout.

I looked at the wall clock realizing it was 8:30. So I got up to go down. I saw him busy cooking eggs and fried rice. I went straight to the c.r. to wash up.

"What time is your shift?" I asked after washing up and stretching a little.

She looked at me while holding a pot holder "Tomorrow 10:30 pa,"

My brows furrowed "Tonight 10:30? Night shift?" I asked while placing the plate on the dining table.

She rolled her eyes "If I had the night shift tomorrow, I would have been gaping and sleeping,"

"Okay!" I said sarcastically and made a thumbs-up gesture.

"You'll be ahead of me because it's exactly 5 PM. You'll be out with me at 5:30. Do you wait for me or will you go home first?" he asked before putting food on our plate.

I glared at her "it's only 30 minutes apart, we should probably be together,"

Thin laughter escaped "Edi wow!" she said.

I continued to eat while he was babbling. He was talking about how many guests there were last night so he was very tired going back and forth. I just nodded to him while continuing to eat. When we were done, I was the first one to take a shower because he said he was the one to wash and I was the one who washed and cooked in the evening.

I looked at the mirror when I saw my reflection. Wearing a white fitted skirt above the knee, color white suit, black sleeved top, and black 2 inches heels. I smiled because of the satisfaction. I approached my wristwatch, necklace, and earrings that were on my study table.

Angel's pounding continued while walking to the boat. He even asked me why the wheel turned. Why am I breathing? It's all nonsense but I laugh because of his useless questions that I know just irritate me.

We stopped walking and took shelter in the waiting shed where a bus stopped. The hotel we are going to is not far away but since we are in the Philippines, we will probably run out of time because of the traffic. We immediately boarded a bus that stopped.

"Here we go again," I said annoyed while running my fingers through my hair when the bus stopped because of the traffic.

"Get used to it, Yoreh. Being stuck in traffic is part of our daily routine," Angel lazily said with her narrowed eyes.

I just blinked in extreme irritation. Seriously? There is really no solution to this?! Well, welcome to the Philippines. "I'll wait for you later. Go to your quarters," I said when we entered the hotel, thanking God.

Angel looked at me holding a hand over her chest "Ow! I'm touched, okay! Good luck!" she said and waved her hands and turned around.

As Ms. taught me. Faith, when I arrived here yesterday, I was going straight to the place where we Front Desk clerks were. I was carrying a small sling bag that I placed in the small cabinet under the table.

"You are Yoreh Selene Antares?" a petite girl asked.

I looked at him, he looked at me. The curiosity on his face is obvious.

I smiled and nodded "Yoreh Selene Antares and you?" I introduced myself and gestured my hand.

She shook my hand "Mawi Bernadeth Roscova. You are really beautiful," she smiled. I know.

I smiled "Are you talking about me behind my back? Who are you?" I asked with surprise but also amusement. I let out a soft laugh when I saw that he was shocked by my question.

She pouted "A while ago, I heard from other bellhops that Ms. Faith was being interviewed. They said that she is beautiful, so it must be you because I don't see any new faces here and you're beautiful!" I nodded and smiled. I feel that he is also a working student because it is obvious that we are the same age.

"A-ah, thanks for the compliment," I said shyly.

As I expected, what we did was easy. I just verified the reservation of the guests and if there is no reservation I do it immediately. Accepting credit cards, issuing pass cards, and responding to those concerned. Sometimes Mawi also helps me with the answers. I also watch and listen to how he entertains the guests so I still have ideas. I didn't have lunch because I wasn't hungry. I just went out of the hotel and got some fresh air but I immediately came back because instead of a breeze I was inhaling smoke. I was fixed when a woman approached me.

I smiled "Good Afternoon, Miss. How can I help you?" I asked while standing straight.

"I would like to meet Mr. Cyrus Lavilla. He is not answering my calls on his cellphone number," she said while looking repeatedly at the time on her wrist watch.

I smiled and nodded "So his name is Cyrus Elio Lavilla," I said while looking at the record book. Room 26029. "Sorry Miss but based on our policy we cannot provide information about his stay here but this is the telephone and you can call him using it,"

He nodded and I connected the number to the telephone number which is 26029. He called immediately and I think there's still no response. I wanted to ask but I held back.

"Still no response," she said annoyed "I'll leave a message,"

"Sure, just write it down on paper, and here's the ballpen," I said and gave the ballpen and paper. "I'll just give him this message, Miss."

He just smiled and wrote. I watched him while writing after he thanked me before turning his back and leaving. My shift will be over in just one hour. Sometimes I'm still stupid because I just don't have a trip.

"Oh My God!" I heard Mawi giggle so I looked at her.

I immediately looked at what he was looking at. A man who distinguished himself with his charisma and manly posture appeared in front of me, smirking. He raised his eyebrows when he noticed that I'm staring too much.

He chuckled "I am Cyrus Elio Lavilla from room 26029. Is there any bullshit message for me?" he asked while touching his lips.

It's like he's attracting me with every look he makes. I swear if the male guests here are always like that, I might go in naked. I swallowed hard, in my 20 years of existence! just now I'm confused! What do I look for now? Am I pretty good enough?!

I stared at him even more. When Papa God rained luck, he caught all the genes of this man. His dark eyes look like they contain the darkness of night, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, a pointed nose, and red kissable lips. Is he for real?!I heard him chuckle

"Hey, You okay?... Breath," he said shaking his head, holding back his laughter, and holding out his hand.

I just realized that I was holding my breath! I took a deep breath, I brought myself back to my senses. I looked at him hard and let out a smile on my lips.

"Y-yes, here," I shyly turned to her and handed over the paper the woman had left behind.

As for this handsome man, you can't deny that he doesn't have a girlfriend. Maybe she was his girlfriend earlier? But why doesn't he answer the call? He should not be waiting for his girlfriend! To the point that he will even go here! Is he heartless? He rolled his eyes while looking at the piece of paper. Even though he's so handsome, I really didn't think there was such a man! I thought this only existed in the books I read!

He looked at me "Don't tell anyone what my room number is," he looked at me sharply.

I smiled "No need to tell me, Sir. This includes the policy not to provide guests information to other receptionists. So, don't worry," I answered while rubbing hands together.

His gaze landed directly at me "Okay... then I need to go," he said playfully on his lips and winked at me. "See you when I see you," he said before turning away.

I almost fell off my feet while glancing at him. He's just wearing a gray cargo khaki short and black t-shirt which causes his beautiful arm to be exposed. With every step he took, I could still see his elegance. He marks the way he goes! Very good score.

"Your saliva might drip," Mawi teased me.

I pouted "Is that an artist?" I asked while taking my bag that was inside the cabinet.

I heard her laughed "No, that's just an actor's look. He's handsome, isn't he?" he asked and also turned to the handsome man.

I just nodded in agreement. I let out a long sigh again as he completely disappeared from my sight.

"I'm out, you?" I said goodbye and turned to him.

He shook his head "I'm going to work overtime now, bye, be careful!" he promised and turned to the guest who asked him.

I walked out of here to wait for Angel. I turned around and slightly smiled as I saw the continuous flow of cars around. There were also a few people who entered the hotel who seemed to be in a hurry. There were also a few students passing by and laughing. I just distracted myself by counting the cars passing by. Next time he won't wait for Angel! Time is very slow.

"Hi, Miss beautiful," I heard a cold baritone voice say.

I straightened up and sighed. I know I'm beautiful! But I wasn't assuming so I didn't look back.

A guy appeared in front of me "You," he said while pointing his finger at me.

I frowned looking at him. Very handsome! Now he is wearing a white t-shirt but he is still wearing cargo khaki shorts.

My brows furrowed "Me?" I asked while pointing at myself. I looked around but I was the only woman outside.

He chuckled and looked at me "Yes," he answered and ran his finger to the hair. "Can you come with me tomorrow at 5pm? I'll pick you up here," he said coldly.

Even with a skeptical look on his face.

"W-what? Why?" I asked in surprise.

He chuckled again and glared at me "Just be with me don't worry I won't do anything bad to you," he touched his lips and examined me, head to toe. "But if you want--"

I cut him off "I mean why? Because first of all we're not friends," I asked in surprise. "I have school tomorrow," I excused, it's true tho.

I saw Angel behind him with a playful smile on his face. It was as if there was no intention of disturbing us.

He rolled his eyes and stared at me "Where do you study? I'll fetch you,"

I shook my head "Come on! I don't have things to do tomorrow. Why?" I asked and crossed my arms.

"I need you," he said seriously. "Just go with me, I'll pay for your time. Just go with me," He looks desperate because of his tone.

I bit my lower lips "What are you going to do? Promise you won't do anything bad to me? Because I still have many dreams and I'm not allowed to disappear--"

"I just need your presence and that's all. Where can I fetch you?" he lazily asked and looked at me with narrowing eyes.

He doesn't look bad does he? "A-ah alright, At ULCM at the exit," I promised and smiled.

He just nodded and left me. Wow, that's all?! Rude! I could do nothing but watch him walk away.

"You know Cyrus! That's right," Angel teased me and touched my arm. I almost fell because of his slight push so I glared at her.

"No, but you know him?" I asked again and walked away.

I felt that she immediately followed me.

She laughed "Who wouldn't know that handsome man. He also studies at ULCM and has been with us for three years," I immediately turned to her because of what she was saying.

"Wow! Are you stalking him?" I laughed and teased her.

She rolled her eyes and murmured something "I'm sorry! I'm not stalking him, I just heard the students muttering," a bus stopped in front of us so we immediately got on and sat down.

"Whispering but did you hear?" I asked with a sly voice.

She just gave me a bad look so I laughed a little.

She chuckled "You know the longer you spend, the more stupid you become," she joked and laughed.

"You know why?" I will ask. "Why?"s he asked again."You have a racket in your butt," I answered rudely and laughed.

She immediately hit me because of my answer so I looked at her badly."But that's an engineering student," she said with a smile and looked at me meaningfully.

I bit my lower lips "He is soon to be an engineer?"

She rolled her eyes "Probably!"

I laughed "Engineer," I said and massaged my temple reason why Angel stare at me.

"Why? Do you have a headache?" she asked worriedly.

I nodded and smiled "A little,"

"It's more painful when there's no head," she replied bluntly.

"I don't know about you! So is she really going to be an engineer soon?" I asked seriously, referring to Cyrus.

She pouted "Yes!"

"I love him already," I jokingly promised while pinching the arm of the man next to me.

"Olol! You love him because he is engineers right away? What about the engineer you said you only like from the outside world?" she asked sarcastically.

My brows furrowed "So are you saying that I want to a engineer that is half meteor, half meteorites and pure meteoroid?" I joked.

Luckily there wasn't much traffic so we got home.

"You know I don't know about you," she said.

Because from the romance books I read, I became interested in engineers and sometimes attorneys! Carried away by emotion, I'm not salty. I went straight to the room when we got to the apartment. I even massaged my leg because I was standing for eight hours and I was still wearing heels so it was a little sore.

I looked at my cellphone and checked my lock screen which showed my class schedule for each day I have school. I have also changed homes. Brown cotton pajamas and white t-shirt. I also tied my long wavy hair.

"What dish?" I heard Angel ask as she fell on the sofa.

She was still wearing his uniform and looked like he was too lazy to change.

"Glass of the mirror," I answered in my head so he threw the pillow next to her at me.

"Look!" she laughed and went upstairs.

I started cooking. Actually, I can only cook basic foods. I don't know how to cook rice porridge, marinated chicken or menudo. All I can do is fry eggs, hotdogs, bacon or whatever. But at least I know a little, maybe next time I'll learn how.

I went ahead and fried fish because we didn't have a choice because it was the only thing in the fridge that I could cook. Angel came down and ate with me. As usual, he was talking about something. This time I was really listening to him because what he was talking about was Cyrus.

"Sometimes I meet him on campus and I almost break my neck looking at him! I thought you knew him but you don't care about your surroundings," she said and shrugged her shoulders before drinking water.

I nodded "ULMC is so wide, I probably won't be able to go around it! But tomorrow I might be able to go around it," I promised with a smile. She just nodded and continued eating.

"Maybe I'll be late tomorrow, I'm not sure what time I'll be home. I'll cook and do the laundry tomorrow before I go in and you when you get home. Isn't your prof who was really absent for the one week coming back?" I asked.

Her brows furrowed, she looked at me "He will be absent for one week, he has a sub, but I don't understand anything about it, our prof is better at teaching. Why are you staying the night where are you going?" She looked at me evilly and raised her eyebrows while waiting for my answer.

"I have a sideline, don't ask! I'm going up!" I said goodbye after I finished eating.

I returned to the room. I even heard her yelling that I should wash the dishes! But of course, she might throw questions at me later. I just spent the time going out on the terrace and watching the stars twinkle. I still slightly closed my eyes when the strong breeze hit my face. When I was ready, I went downstairs and washed the dishes. I saw Angel in the living room watching a movie with her eyes wide open. Sometimes she even turns to me who washes the dishes and makes a face, just like a fool. When I finished, I told Angel to go to bed and he just nodded his head as if he didn't care. As usual, it's still stupid. It's hard for me to sleep, but I can't sleep even more when I realize that Cyrus and I will meet again tomorrow. Wow, Cyrus really feels close right away. He looks interesting like an attractive painting in an art exhibit.

I lay there dumbfounded at the loss. While my groupmates are divorced. Sometimes I wonder why they are not lazy to talk. Because I'm already with my tamarin lifestyle when I sometimes speak.

I looked at the students who were passing by, these kids are going to enjoy pinching! If you can blush on too red! It's not like 7th graders! If you can twitch it feels like there is a spring in the waist! What is it? Looks like mom doesn't beat her with a hanger when she gets home, huh?

My attention was drawn to the basketball players who were crossing the road like fools even without the ball. I hope you are all right. There is no ball but it seems to see something. I hope you are the same with the feelings of those you play with, what? I hope you see it too! I'm here! I just get high blood from these people.

"Oh Yoreh? You're stupid again." Sadnie Joy said.

She sat next to me and put the folder she was holding next to her.

"You're jealous? Just like you," I foolishly promised and frowned.

We are now in the bleachers watching the passers by. My group mates even looked at me when I suddenly spoke because of my friend who came.

"You know, just help your groupmates, you're not an idiot. When I become a medical technologist, you're the first person I'll draw blood from," she said with a laugh.

I laughed "When you really have a child! I'll give you only ten pesos for Christmas,"

She was about to speak but our leader called me and stapled something. So, yes, I'm a stapler again, what else? I don't care about what's going on and besides, I've given the part that I did well and I'm still here even if I can just wander around.

"Oh what? Why are you here? Are you gossiping again? Alright girl, spill the tea!" I am curious as soon as I get back to my friend's side.

She just blinked before sighing. "Let me pay for the fare first. Because my brother and I are enemies, he won't pick me up!" she promised irritated and held out her hand.

Sadnie your face?! It's so thick.

"Why are you enemies?" I asked curiously.

I could see the irritation on his face because of her blushing. Wow, I hope everyone is blushing.

"That's a bad habit of my brother! There are four of us, the only two I'm close to, Then last year there was a spot! The wifi password was changed, we all don't have wifi, he's the only one! Mom told Ta's, Did he say he was paying," I was even surprised because of the extreme irritation on her face. "Ah! I'm shivering!" she continued.

"Calm down," I reminded.

"But what about the bite first?" I asked laughingly. So she tweaked me again.

"Just kidding!" I laughed at her.

"Alright! I'll give you a loan as long as you pay, right? Scammers aren't allowed and besides, let your brother congratulate you first," I promised and handed her the pesos I took from my pocket.

"Pesos? Seriously? All right! I'll be even happier if you swallow that! Can I have 250?" she promised and held out his hand.

"Wow, That's demanding! The fare is 250? Angel and I only have one hundred pesos for the fare! So you're 250? Eh, your house is just on the second corner! You feel like it's on the tenth corner ," I promised in high blood.

"Duh! I'm going to buy some more milktea and fries! Can you lend me some more? You're talking too much! You should really knock it down," she jokingly promised and pulled back her hair.

I laughed "You can even pull your hair there, you thought there was a fare. Give it back, I'll grow it if you return it long enough" I teased and handed her the 250 pesos she was borrowing.She rolled her eyes

"What are you bumbie? You need to make a profit when you lend money? Yoreh the bumbie, Is that you?" She also said spitefully and looked thick as he took the money owed.

"Yes, dear." I said, "Yoreh the bumbie? That's a badass! Get out of here as badass as you are with the words you're saying," I shooed her away while laughing.

She pouted "Just breathe it! Alright, bye now, be careful when you go home," she said goodbye and hugged me.

Her scent is unfairness, it's obvious that she doesn't bathe without alum.

"You too, be careful of those hanging out next to each other and you might get tripped up," I reminded her after she had gone down a few steps to the bleachers.

She laughed "You're terrible at hanging around! It's like they didn't tell the delivery guys where your apartment was when your order arrived, huh" she said foolishly.

"Stupid because there are other people drinking! Just be careful what you say!" I shouted so some of them looked at me.

Correction, I'm not mad at hangouts! It's just safety first, there are others hanging around drunk and tripping those who pass by. I just want her to go home safe!

"Thank you!" she said.I nodded "Say, Thank you shopee," I joked.

She just gave me trouble and walked away. My groupmates called me again to staple the other papers they had already put together. I looked at my wrist watch to check the time, it was 4:30 and I told Cyrus it was 5 when we were home. I don't know if our Prof suddenly got lazy.

"I thought you had 5 more to go home?" a cold baritone voice said.Just by his voice I knew who he was so I looked up at the man in front of me.

There were a few others who looked at our behavior as if they didn't think that such a handsome man would talk to me. Well. I stared at him when he sat next to me, my other classmate who earlier was focused on what he was doing now turned his attention to me... to him.

Infairness, he looked like a man in the black slacks and white blouse he was wearing. Even if he wears rags here, his ex will still be handsome.

"I-I'm also going to high five later before we leave. We're still doing something," I said with a fluttering heart and racing pulse.

Is it my fault that we were sent home early? No way! But wait, this look is so good to look at? It seems like anytime can soften my feelings. Wait. I do not know why? Why am I suddenly nervous? Why are the words I want to say suddenly getting tangled?

He chuckled and crossed his arm over the chest "Stop stuttering your words. Hurry up and help your group mates so you can finish and we can leave," he commanded while raising his brows.

My groupmates don't complain and then they complain?! No."Okay," I agreed, eating my own words.

He just nodded, I could see his sharp eyes in my peripheral view. I almost fell over because of the panic. Stupid! I don't know if stapling these and complying is a big help.

"Do it properly, Yoreh Selene." Cyrus ordered irritated.

I wanted to answer him with 'Are you the leader? You shouldn't be the one to staple things when you are the one who hastily! How thick!' I just nodded because not a single word came out of my mouth.I immediately looked at him badly. Did he know my name?! Is he stalking me?! He just blinked and looked at my I.D as if he knew what I was thinking.

I also looked at my ID and bit the bottom of my lip. Really stupid! What a great name Yoreh Selene Antares! He can probably read.

"Omayghad, Yoreh. Are you friends? Can you introduce me to him?" Elica whispered while putting some face powder.

So I just struggled. Well, Elica is beautiful and kind, all I know is that she and her ex-boyfriend just broke up, so I'm sure she caught the one who cheated again. What does cheating do?... I mean it doesn't bring anything good in life, so why do you need to cheat? It's their decision if they cheat or not.

"We're not friends and can you finish putting the face powder on your face. Help so you're all beautiful," I said grumpily so he threw the face powder back into his pouch.

"You're rude," he answered irritated and put the paper I handed him that I had just stapled in the brown envelope.

"Well, I still have a sideline," I promised and did not turn to him again.

He even asked what sideline it was and why Cyrus was with him. If it is also possible to sideline. But I didn't pay attention to him because I was getting irritated. After a while, our leader told us to go home and that he would be the one to talk to our Prof regarding the other questions. We just agreed.

While we were going to the parking lot, there were a few others smiling at me with silly faces. I would have liked to approach them and ask 'Are we close? To give me a sly look?' but I just ignored them and continued walking.

So I looked up at Cyrus who had his hands in his pockets and was looking straight at the road as if there was no one with him. What? Because I agreed, he will ignore me? I keep feeling like I'm a STALKER or OBSSESS to him because I'm one after another. But him? There's just nothing like I don't know.
