Chapter 8 : Three WORDS

Our class was finally done. I saw my college classmates going out of the door while I am checking my bag and checking my things inside it.

"Oh, I have my magic friction ballpen." I said silently while looking on it.

"Am I going to study again?" I even added while thinking deeply.

"Are you searching something inside your bag?" Red said as he notices me (He was besides me).

"Nothing." I said to him with a laugh.

"Well, let's wait for a few minutes to Bright. She's currently talking to Ma'am Emet about her forgotten assignment." Red told me.

I sit down and starts writing a note in the last page of my notebook.

"I LOVE RED." I had written using my friction ballpen that makes me giggle a little while staring to Red that is busy in playing in his phone.

"Why you seems so happy." Mic said when he walks on my side.

I quickly erased Red's name by using the top portion of my friction ballpen because Red and Mic tries to check my writings.

"Let me see that." Red said as he forcefully grabs my notebook and turns to the last page.

He suddenly smiles when he saw the word "I LOVE" with an erased word of RED that he tries to figure out.

I swallowed my saliva as he tries to identify the little marks of the erased word.

"I LOVE…I LOVE … What's next?" He silently said then gives back my notebook when he gave up to the final word.

"Avita, I just remembered what you said last time at Subic."

He out f nowhere said to me while looking down in a serious face.

I touches my heart as I became extremely shy that I almost wants to hide my face inside my bag.

"He remembers what I said at the Subic that I confesses my feeling to him and said I love you?"

Actually this never happens in my previous time with him. I'd never told him those words until he died. That makes me regret everything and wishes I had told him this before.

...But now, I did it. I told him that I LOVE HIM!

I just … I just realize now that the previous one of my time traveling was connected to this time.

So what I did from the previous time have impact for this time.

..but …but why am I transferred here? Should I make another changes? Am I really dreaming?

Red stares at me and when I get back on my mind I smile at him.

He no longer say things about that so I felt relax now.

"Can you guess what's the color of my sock today?

If you guess it then I will treat you your favorite takoyaki." He said to me.

Inside my mind there is a flashback.I remember that he once asked me about this a long time ago and this was also written in his diary wherein I wrongly answered the color black but it was truly color Red.

"Red." I silently said with my hand movement.

"You are right! Let's go." Red said to me in a high intonation then grabs my wrists as we walk outside the classroom.

"Are we not going to wait for Bright?" I asked him.

"Mic, Karen and also En was still there to wait for her. They can meet us on your dormitory after we eat the takoyaki snacks." He told me.

I was so happy because he wants the two of us to eat my favorite food together in the near cafeteria.

The takoyaki there do not taste good but I think since I am with the Red, it became delicious.

While I was eating, I stare to him and remembers that he was already dead in my time and he might die soon too. I wish I could do something to stop the occurrence of his death in the future.

"Why are you looking at me?" He asks me with a smile but i do not answer.

Red is really a soft type of guy. I really love him for who he is, even if he is not my type and almost not listed his traits in my love lists.

After eating our takoyaki snacks, we walk together.

I was then very happy to be with him again though it was as a friend again. I guess.

"Ah." I said as I can feel something strange.

I notices that the surrounding seems changing and turning into dust.

I was scared of not seeing him anymore so I said my another final word for him.

"I love you Red." I silently said that he heard as I stopped walking and seeing our group of friends coming towards us.

All of a sudden they turned into dusts (including Red) in front of me.

"Red!" I screamed as I realized that was moving to a different time again but he doesn't hear me as I was shocked to see myself in the Gymnasium of the University.

I was walking with our classmates and wearing our Physical Education Shirt and jogging pants.

I saw some of our college classmates doing taekwondo.

"Oh, No. This thing again. I will do this." I said to myself.

"Walk quickly Avita!" Alpha said to me in not so nice tone of voice at my back.

So Alpha is present here. She's the woman that adores Red so much as I remember from Red's diary. However, Alpha will marry other guy .She is one of the woman who I get too jealous with when it comes to Red.

We are watching some of our classmates performing the taekwondo.

I saw Red from farway.

I was so shy because he might remember what I said again that I love him.

So I sit away from him then ignores his existence.

"What is the date today?" I asked Bright.

"It's March 3." She replied.

"What year?" I asked more.

"You have memory gap. It's 2013 friend." She answered me with a laughing voice and thinking that I was joking her for asking the year.

"Potentially, Red had forgotten what I said before?" I said to myself.

I stare to him from next row of chairs. There, I spotted Alpha sitting next to him with her group of pretty friends.

"Oh, she's doing her best to be close to him." I think negatively.

I stand up and tries to walk.

"Hey, where are you going?" En said as he grabs my hand to make me sit besides him.

"I just want to sit next Red and asks something very important." I told him.

"Okay. Ask him if he will join us for the karaoke after this whole day of class." En said to me.

"Yes, I will." I replied.

"En really likes singing."I said to myself.

I went to Red and stands in front of him while Alpha is on his side.

I check the spaces to where I can sit. There are lots of spaces but since Alpha's butt and her friend was occupying it in a wide comfortable way, it seems like no one can sit next to Red.

"Avita, there is no space to sit here." Red said to me.

Alpha rolled her eyes on me and moves her body more to Red.

Alpha then in front of me touches Red's neck when she recognize that it has a little perspiration.

"Oh, you need a handkerchief." She sweetly said that makes Red blush.

I do not like seeing him being touch by others. So my eyes gets smaller due to jealousy.

I saw this situation before and during that time, I do not do anything because I was scared to Alpha and I think that Red on that time likes her too.

So I decided to make a change again for this time without considering any possible outcome.

I grabs Alpha's hand that touches Red's wet neck.

"I will sit in between of the two of you." I said as I remove it and tries to push a little of Alpha's body away from Red.

"So Rude." Alpha said to me.

"You can see that there is no space anymore but you still sit here and pushes Alpha to us." Alpha's friend said to me that I just ignore.

Honestly, I do not want to be as rude as this but I don't want Red to be seen like that and be surrounded by girls that don't deserve him. Yes, Alpha is a nice woman with lots of things to flaunt but she was just playing hearts of the guy and I know already that she will marry a guy that matches her.

"Friend should be near to each other." I replied to Alpha.

"Don't do that again. They might bully you." Red silently said to me that seems like worrying.

"I do not care." I replied to him as I check my bag.

"Oh, I have this one." I happily said as I saw my favorite small hand carry electric small fan.

"Let me share this to you. So that you won't get perspiration." I said to him while others are looking to us.

"En wants you to join us for karaoke this night." I even added that makes him smile.

After the whole day of class, we went to out favorite karaoke place.

En sings a lot of song that amazes us. I also sing few song.

"Red, please sing a song and don't be shy." Karen told Red as he gives the microphone to him.

The song "Kiss Me" sang by Ed Sheeran suddenly played in instrumental that makes me remember Louie.

"This is Louie's favorite song." i silently said.

Red sings the song with all of his heart that gives me a little tears.

"I love Red but I also starts liking Louie in my present time.

Louie in this time doesn't even know me and he was on his own life.

I miss him.

I wiped my tears then starts listening more to the song that reminds me a lot about Louie.

After our bonding, I was wondering if what happens next when I told Red that I love him for the second time.

Did he just ignores me on that time or did he say something back?

I do not know because I just disappeared and been transferred here.

However, I strongly believe that this time was connected to the two previous time wherein I told Red that I love him.

While we are waiting for jeepney, Red suddenly speak.

"Avita, I forgot. I have something for you." He said as he handed me his favorite kitkat chocolate.

"Thank you." I said to him.

I was trying to open it but Red stops me.

"Don't it that. Tomorrow is our examination day. Right? So you need a goodluck charm. Bring it tomorrow then it before our exam."He said to me.

"Thanks." I said while looking on it.

"Red really loves kitkat." I said to myself.

"Red, why you give her kitkat then you didn't give us too?" Bright said to him.

"It is exclusively for her. I'm sorry." He said to them while the 3 of them starts speaking funny things.

"So you are liking her? That's not good. We are friends here." En said in a funny tone of voice.

"I just want to thank Avita for being so kind to me." He said to them that I can loudly hear because I was on their side.

I started to stare to them and smiled as I felt so happy of seeing the young Red getting so nice to me.

After a few minutes, I notices that It was almost a whole day but I am still stock on this time.

"Does it mean that I'll be here forever?"

"Why I am not yet being transferred like what happened in the two previous time that I went with?"

"Tomorrow is our exam and I honestly do not know if I will pass it since I was told by Red right now."

"How can I prepare for that?"

I asked my myself as I start to look into the red kitkat that Red had given to me.
