FATE

“What are you studying? Since we are in the same faculty,” I asked, while sipping my juice with a straw. “Film making, and you?” she answered and asked, firmly.

“Drawing, I want to make my own anime book, once I’m done studying here,” I replied, and she smiled, the warmest smile, I have ever received.

“Oh, that’s nice,” and she smile again, after she responded.

“Yes, and your course it’s awesome, I guess I will be making anime, and you will be turning them in real life,” I said.

“Your parents, did not pursuit you to study, doctorate or law, like other parents?” I asked, while looking at her.

“Hahaha, no, my parents they are very open-minded people, they allow us to explore and expand our minds,” she said, while drinking her juice from the straw also.

“They sound like they are cool parents, that’s very nice; when you say we, whom do you refer to?” I asked with a curious expression.

“Me and my two twins' younger siblings, un-identical, a girl and a boy they both in high school, how about your parents, are they strict?” she answered and asked bending her head to the side to look at me well, since I was next to her.

“My parents they are not strict at all, they sent me all the way here to enjoy my youthful years,” I said, avoiding saying much.

“That’s very nice of them, pretty cool. So, you are from where? I could tell by that accent, it’s not from here,” she asked, her look it’s compelling.

“I am from Australia,” I answered.

“Cool, I have to leave, it’s midnight time,” she replied, while getting up.

I also got up, and we said our goodbyes. I had an amazing time with her, she sounds like a pretty good person from a very functional family.

Now I can personally say, I am in love with Erich, I know it’s pretty soon to say the word “love”, but she captured my heart from the first moment I saw her. She excites me in many ways, I mean I forget most of my problems when I see her, or I’m with her. Isn’t that love?

I love spending time with her. My plan of taking her out tomorrow since it’s weekend, I hope it won’t fail, because I would like to know more about her, from her.

When I approached my friends, I heard one of them saying “Guys, should we tell Nathan about Erich?” and that would be Toni.

“What about Erich that I’m supposed to know from you?” I said, and they flinched from my voice, because I came from their behind.

They are muttering right in front of me. You know what! No matter what they say, they won’t make me to lose my interest in Erich. And if she has something to tell me, I believe she will.

“Okay, don’t say anything, it’s been two minutes waiting for you all to utter,” I said, while making my way to the class.

I’m with my friends at the retail shop, gawking at Erich's friends by the window, and Chris saw us. I saw him poking and telling his friends, pointing his fingers toward us. But Erich was not with them including Rose, I wonder where she’s at.

My eyes glowed up, and my jaws dropped, the moment Erich walked toward the mirror, near her friends. She looked dazzling in that dress; I think she was fitting it. My friends took a deep breath along with a heavy gulp, when they saw her too.

She should immediately purchase that dress, because it was made for her, the skin and her height in that apricot color dress, it was a complete compliment. Sweats start coming out from my edges dripping down to my face the moment she turned around, seeing her bare back, excited me, but I was a bit jealous that her guy’s friends could look at her close enough without any hesitations.

Rose walked out of the dressing room, and to tell the truth she was breath taking, that silky burgundy dress, it was a dream, the cut of the dress, suit her perfectly. I looked at Edward, he seemed like he was about to faint, along with Lana, who was a corpse for a moment that time for staring at Rose. I got confused.

Eddie said, “Guys let’s get inside,” and we followed him.

I just wanted to be close to Erich, but she was at the counter paying the dress she was fitting. And I waited for her, I didn’t want to remove my eyes from her.

They finished paying, and we went to that café, where I saw Erich while I was inside. Lana looks grumpy. Is she okay?

I was sitting along-side Erich, while she’s talking to Chris, then I heard Chris saying “Please, don’t be late for tomorrow, I know your make-up take forever to finish.” He said and took a bite of a muffin.

“Wake me up very early tomorrow,” Erich responded.

Wake me up early? What is happening tomorrow?

“What is happening tomorrow?” I had to ask.

“What about tomorrow?” and Toni asked too.

“It’s our weekend away,” Chris response, while pouting, making a funny face.

“Where?” asked by Edward, who was sitting next to Rose as always.

“Why?” Michael asked, firmly looking at Edward, Michael was sitting at the same row as us.

Aaron responded, instead of Edward and said, “Because we want to join.”

Aaron was sitting next to Lana, I was sitting next to Erich who was next to Chris, and we were on the same row. Edward, he was next to Rose facing Aaron, and Eddie next to Michael. Eddie was so steady and quiet not saying anything.

“Why are you guys, always following us? And you also want to go with us to our weekend-away?” she asked, with an annoyed expression. I guess she hate us this one.

Erich was busy drinking her orange juice not arguing with anyone.

“Erich?” I raised my ears, when I hear Edward voice calling Erich.

I looked at Erich, who was busy scrolling, and scrolling on his phone.

“Edward,” she answered, while looking at her phone.

“Can we join you guys?” Edward asked, politely while looking at me. I gave him a question expression on my face.

Erich answered, I love how she responded, “I will have to discuss that first with my friends, if they say no, then there is nothing I can do; and by the way, they are plenty of places you could go too.”
