Meet-up

I wish I would've listened to them sooner. My decisions are the ones that'll kill me.

I walked out from there. Exams were still going on so I think they did not tell anyone anything. I'm glad they aren't stirring up any troubles in exam time or I would've been damned.

I talked with Ray only, I mean I talked with everyone who talks with me or comes up to talk with me, bit with Ray I talked a lot. About exams and stuff but I never told him about what happened with them.

I was really excited about my meet with William after exams finish. I was so excited that the doom that was about to come left my mind.

It's the last day of exam. Will didn't contact me this whole week or just came to talk to me. I thought if he's just all talks.

After exam finished and I was gonna go out with Ray and Stephan, I saw him, he was standing there, William. I was happy to see him I think I couldn't help it?

I didn't approach him though. I thought he'd talk with me and it'd get awkward again. So I didn't do anything and just walked out.

"Samantha!" I saw his voice calling out for me. "Hey," I said. He put his hands on his pockets and said, "Yeah hey. So exams are finished today. Wanna go out tomorrow?"

Ah shit. He asked me in front of everyone. Ahh. What should I say to him? I just stood there and nodded. He then understood he made the situation awkward.

"So uhh, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then? Bye and sorry." He said and ran off. Yeah he understood he made my situation difficult.

"Soooo, Samantha, what's going on between you guys?" Ray asked me from behind. "Ahh Ray I told you I'll tell you all today." Stephan looked at us and went, "So I'm out of this conversation?"

We both laughed. It's been days since we walked together because the last time I walked home with Will and then the whole exam week I took the bus home.

"So, like I said to you that day, he seems really kind hearted and nice. He said he's gonna tell me about him tomorrow." I told them. "Tell you about him huh?" Ray said.

"As well as I know, he transferred here in his high school sophomore year." Stephan said. "We don't know about his middle school then?" Ray asked him.

"Hey guys it feels like we're doing some kind of investigation on someone." I told them and brushed them off. "So let's see what he tells."

"So those three harassed you again?" Ray looked at me. "Hell yeah they did." "Ahh I wish they'd just leave you alone and go with their own lives."

I laughed seeing Ray worried about me. "Hey don't laugh I'm seriously saying." I laughed out loud this time. He did an eye roll and walked faster away from us.

I ran behind him. "Hey hey sorry. It's just, it's not everyday you see someone being worried about you." He looked at me and did a humph face.

I reached home earlier then I thought I would. Stephan goes right from my home and Ray goes forward. We all part our ways in front of my home.

I waved them bye and went inside the house. Sara isn't home yet so I took a shower quickly and sat on the dining table to have something.

Sara came home and rang the bell. I opened the door for her. She looks fucking tired. "Hey you okay? You look exhausted." She put down her backpack and plopped on the bed.

"Ahh schools are exhausting." I laughed. "Hey please don't laugh Sam." She made a sulky face and I laughed again. She then left to wash up.

I came to my room and laid down. The exams are over and I'll be in high school now huh? Yeah it seems pretty unreal. I didn't know what to do so I just laid down.

Then I remembered I have some books that I was supposed to read. I went to check the books I have. "Looking for Alaska" this book is here huh?

I took the book. The main protagonist is Miles Halter. I thought I shouldn't read this book, because everything that this Miles will do and I'll think about the Miles who is alive.

I wanted to put the book back to its place. But something kept me from keeping it back. It was Will, I kept wondering what's in this book that made him sad.

So I started reading the book, trying my best not to think about the Miles who's alive but about the Miles who's alive in the book.

It wasn't a big book but I read it slowly. I kept it back after reading a few pages. It was night and I had lunch. I had nothing to do so I was scrolling through MInstagram.

*notification sound*

Will: So we didn't decide on the time right?

I totally forgot that we are gonna meet in the weekend. Ahh.

Me: Yeah, yeah. What time works for you?

Will: You say, I'm free because there's no exam anymore.

I thought it'll be better to meet him in the morning, like 10-11 am.

Me: 10am? Does it sound good?

Will: Yeah. No worries. So see you then?

Me: Yeah, see you then.

Was I excited to meet him? Yes I was because he was gonna tell me about something that changed him. Does he trust me enough?

Well I'll get all the answers tomorrow.

*notification sound*

Ray: So you're going on a date tomorrow? With Mr Heartthrob.

I laughed looking at his text.

Me: What date dude? It's not a date, it's just a casual meet-up.

Ray: Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Me: *laughing sticker*

Ray: You have to tell me if anything interesting happens.

Me: Lolol. Okay okay.

He didn't reply to me anymore so I kept the phone down. I put on some music and thought about what he might tell me.

I can't wait to meet him.
