5 Chapter 4

When we arrived at the venue the loud music is all I can hear along with the students dancing in the middle. We immediately look for a table.

"Hey, Renzo, common let's dance." The woman he used to talk to at the coffee shop said.

I know that she just wants to flirt with Renzo.

"No, I don't want to dance yet. Go ahead and enjoy it." Reno said.

A few moments later the emcee spoke.

"Good evening to all of you, I hope you're enjoying the party. Let's thank our University President for making this party possible and also the faculties and staff who helped us decorate and organize this event. Be ready for the amazing performances coming from our dance groups. We will also have some games later so don't go home yet 'cause we're just getting started. Thank you and enjoy the party everyone!"

When the emcee ended his speech the students continued dancing like there's no tomorrow in the middle.

"Are you hungry?" Renzo asked.

"Not yet, how about you?" I asked back, he just shakes his head.

"Can I borrow your phone?" He asked.

I handed him my phone and he started taking pictures of himself.

A few moments later I felt my stomach crumbling.

"I want to eat," I told them.

"Do you want me to get your food?" Renzo asked.

"No, Renzo, you two stay here and watch our things. Kiana and I will get our food." Audrey said.

We went to the buffet table and I can't help but get hungry because of the delicious smell of the dishes.

I started putting foods on my plate as well as Audrey.

When we returned to our seats we heard Brent and Renzo trash-talking each other.

"You idiot, Brent! Don't rush into the turret without your minions, if you're not one and a half stupid." Reno shouted.

"Fuck you, men! I thought nothing could slow you down but it looks like the internet connection wants to compete with you." Brent fired back.

"Shut up, fucktard!" Renzo yelled at Brent.

Before they kill each other Audrey interrupted them.

"Hoooo! You two are noisy! Bullshit! Why don't you get your food instead of arguing? You two don't have to fight 'cause you're both stupid!" Audrey yelled.

"I told you that game can ruin a family," Brent said while scratching the back of his head.

They both went to the buffet table and started getting their food.

I even saw some students taking pictures of them. These two are getting too much attention. Their face should be illegal!

"Kiana, the guy near our table is staring at you," Audrey said while pointing to the table near us.

I took a glance at the table she's pointing to.

"Maybe the one he's looking at is behind me. You're so assuming." I told Audrey.

"It looks like he's looking at you." She said.

I rolled my eyes at her. Instead of answering her I just continued eating and since the students who attended this party are first and second-year students Audrey is busy looking at the criminology students. I don't know why, but Audrey is so attracted to criminology students.

We finished eating and the program started with students dancing and singing and as they said there are also games.

When they got tired the emcee went to the stage.

"I know that this is the most awaited part of the party. If you want to dance with your special someone don't waste time and ask him or her to dance with you. This is your time to get the attention of your crushes! Don't be shy, the floor is all yours! Enjoy!" The emcee announced.

A sweet song played, one by one the men stood up to invite the woman they want to dance with.

Brent stood up and he invited Audrey to dance with him.

"You're so fast, bro!" Renzo told Brent.

"And you're so slow." Brent fired back.

They went to the middle and started dancing slowly. I can see the happiness in Audreys eyes. Hope all.

Renzo cleared his throat, he stood up and held out his hand to me.

"Would you like to dance with me?" He asked.

"O-Okay," I told him.

He put his hand on my waist and I put my hand on his shoulder.

The next song played.

'What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive'

Renzo is stating at me like he's memorizing every detail of my face.

"Stop staring at me," I said not looking at his eyes.

My knees are slowly disowning me.

'I can't keep up I can't back down I've been losing so much time'

"I can't help myself if you don't want me staring at you, then stop being beautiful..." He whispered in my ears.

The song continued.

'Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to do nothing to lose'

"Am I that beautiful?" I said and he chuckled.

I was just so comfortable with him.

"You know what? I realized that maybe I'm destined to go here, maybe we're destined to meet each other..." He said.

'It's you and me and all other people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you'

When the song was over, Renzo and I sat down because my foot was already hurting.

"Why did you come here?" I asked him.

He was suddenly taken aback by my question and he seemed to be sad.

"It's okay if you don't answer. How about we talk about your self" I said trying to lighten up the mood.

He smiled. "I'm taking up Civil Engineering course here at the University. I'm in my second year when I was still young I wanted to be an engineer and build a house for my future family. My mother and I are not on good terms. I also have a younger sister and she's with my mom." He said.

"What else? Gusion is my favorite hero in Mobile Legends. I'm a fan of Billie Eilish. I have a crush on Vien Iligan. I want to have a rap battle with Eminem." He added while laughing. "Wait, there's more, I don't want to lose you." He grinned.

"Oh, shut up!" I told him, laughing.

A few moments later Audrey asked if we want to go home and I agreed with her 'cause I'm also tired.

Audrey is with Brent and I was left here with Renzo.

"You're so unfair! You haven't even talked about yourself yet." He said.

"What else do you want to know about me? I know you've gathered information from Audrey." I told him.

"Hey, it's just additional info. It's different when you're the one saying it." He said.

To be fair I started telling about myself.

"Hmm, I don't have siblings. My mom is working in Manila. My dad left me when I was still a kid. I have many cousins. My Grandparents and I are close. I want to graduate so that I can help them." I said.

"How about your favorites?" He asked.

"My favorites color is gray and green. My favorite food is Adobo and Donuts the bavarian flavor. I like orange juice. I like watching sunrise and sunsets that's why my favorite place is near the sea cause I can see the sunset and sunrise. My favorite number is five. You're one of my favorite persons." I said laughing.

His ears turned red at the last thing I said.

"Wait, I forgot something!" I told him.

"What?" He asked.

"I'm not Olaf but I like warm hugs," I said.

It makes me feel secure when someone hugs me, it's also a way to say that 'I'm just here and I won't leave you' that's what I feel when someone hugs me.

When we arrived he went down first to open the car door for me. He's being a gentleman now.

"You told me you like warm hugs." He said, smiling. "Can I hug you?"
