I thought Weekends were for rest!

-Weekend-

I wake up at 6.30!

This habit of waking up early sometimes gets on my nerves. At some days, I wish I could sleep longer as the other girls do. I mean it's the weekend for god sake, what would I do? I have no plans, no boyfriend to spend the day with and no assignments or projects to keep me busy! But wait a second!! I do have to plan for that opening day right? Yet, how would I even plan an event for something I don't even know?? I get myself a cup of coffee and start my laptop. I surf the web to check how events planning goes and if I could get an insight. I am not really able to focus at the moment and it feels like I am just scrolling up and down. To avoid the guilt trip later. I pick my head up and my jogging outfit faces me. It sounds like it is calling me. I jump off my bed and get into it. I put my trainees on and I think I am ready for a run.

Before I leave the room, I write a note for Clara so that she knows my whereabouts when she wakes up. I haven't known her for a while but she seems like the female version of Luke.

Now that I am out, breathing in the fresh air, stretching before I surrender to the long road I am going to run, I realize how long it has been since last time I ran. I count to three and here I go! While I am running, I start to get ideas. I think about projects and it helps me organize my thoughts. I read once that the body knows itself more than what you think you know about it. It makes do things that you don't believe you need at certain moments, but later you figure that your body needed that thing to make it through the day. Like consuming sugar for example. When you are on a diet, you avoid anything containing sugar (manufactured one of course, not speaking about the one existing naturally in foods), then suddenly you find yourself eating a lot of sweets or anything that contain a large amount of sugar. You hate it or regret doing that, hence, your body feels fresh so the guilt goes away afterwards. That action was not an order from your brain, it was from your body because it needed more energy to not pass out. You just didn't know it.

Oh! I got a vision on how the event would go. I find myself a seat, I am sweating like a dog and thank god I knew that these would happen so I came prepared. I grab my note book and a pen from my tiny beg. That one I can't move without as it has all the SOS needs (if I can call it that 'Dora's Beg'). I draw somethings I am sure I will not understand later when I wash up. It is understandable now that I think about it, I don't know what the club is about and what does it serve and how they are used to work. So a bold map like the one I did right now is just perfect! The club name in huge letter in the middle on the paper. Then branches coming out of it with the sub clubs names (which I don't know yet so I just put empty circles) and from each circle other branches comes out for the activities to be prepared for the big day. I write that there should be a presenter and a corner for food serving, food grabs more people and this would help advertise the club more.

The plan is done know. I look at the 'whatever' is there in the paper and try to notice what is missing. Oh! If I need to know about the club then I have to meet with Julien and ask him to guide me through. I get another paper and start writing:

· Get Julien's phone number first.

· Ask him about when the club started.

· Ask about different sub clubs if there are.

· Ask who is responsible for each sub club and get their contact information.

· Check the events history.

· Check how much the budget for the event is in order to know how to plan for the opening day.

These sound enough for now. I pack my things again and decide to run back to the dormitory. I run faster this time because now that I have a plan to work on, I am excited to be back in my room. While I am running, more ideas are rushing in my brain. It's like, a waterfall of thoughts is along with my blood circulation. I run and I hope that these thoughts will not vanish as soon as I get to my room. I see the dormitory entrance and I smile as if someone is seeing their beloved one in front of them.

"Boo!" something jumps from the bush.

I jump a step back, throw my phone in the air "AAAAAA" then squish, my head between my knees –I think my phone would cuss at me if it was a living creature from the so many time I throw it away like it was nothing. Also, imagine I was a mother and I had my kid in my arms! Gotta work on my reactions! – That's all I was thinking about fixed to the ground in that position.

"Hey, are you okay?" that someone as it shows says walking towards me.

I lift my head and turn my head slowly "It's… you!!!" I say breathing real hard due to the sudden stop after the run.

"Yaaay, it's me--" he says waving his arms in the air.

"What… brings you…" I take a real deep breath, helping myself get up "… here, Julien?!" I ask as I clean myself.

"Came to meet someone." He responds helping me dusting myself off.

"Oh--- didn't know that you had a girlfriend." I tease him as soon as my breathing is back to normal.

"Now you know!" he responds smiling "I came to see her but here I find her all sweat!" he smirks extending his hand to wipe the sweat over my forehead.

"Ha-ha, very funny!" I say throwing his hand away in the air "seriously now, what are you doing here?" I ask.

"I came here for your number." He continues.

"Okay, I am done with you!" I say leaving him behind after I lost hope in him.

"Won't you need this later?" he shouts holding my phone in his hand waving it in the air.

"Where did you get that!!" I exclaim running back to him.

"You threw it my way remember? And I happen to be good at catching flying things!" he teases me.

"Now give it to me!" I say struggling to reach my phone which he is hanging up in the sky, not like he is already 6.2 and I am 5.3. "I said give it back!" I shout as I kick his knee.

"Nice try, but you should try harder." He says not showing any reaction of pain or even surprise "I expected that coming from miss 'I am good at beating people up'-" he teases me again and I know that he would be using this against me for as long as we hang with each other.

"Okay! Keep it, I am buying another one anyways." I say all mad.

"Oh- did I make the little baby mad?" he keeps getting on my nerves.

I walk away growling

"Hey, hey…" he calls for me then he grabs me by my arm "calm down little princess, nothing to be this angry about. I was just joking! Sheesh, you got some mood!" he says handing me my phone.

"Thank you!" I take my phone, free my arm and turn to walk away.

"Hold on! I really need your phone number though." He says again.

"Why?" I turn.

"The club event? Remember that?" he responds lifting his eyebrows.

"Oh—right! Sorry, I lost it for a minute. It's your fault too, you shouldn't have teased me like that. You could have just told me that you needed my phone number."

"That's exactly what I did." He replies holding both his hands like 'I don't know pose'

"He-he" I giggle trying to sooth the mood handing him my phone to write his phone number "sorry!"

"No problem. That's kind of cute." He says dialing his number.

"Which?" I wonder.

"The way you get mad and happy easily. It's cute." He smiles handing me my phone back. "Now, go wash up you dirty monkey. I will call you later if you have no plans this evening to discuss when we should meet to start working on the project. Bye-bye!"

I wave him goodbye and enter the dormitory. I go to the cafeteria there and get some iced lemonade. I need something fresh to restart my engine. I go back to my room and Clara is still there sleeping on the floor. I wake her up.

"Clara!!!!! Wake up already its lunch time-" I lie because I know food is the only way she would wake up.

"Lunch!!" she is already on her feet.

"Just kidding, go wash up then we can go out for lunch if you want."

She stares at me "You…" she pause then approaches me, eye to eye. She is very close to my face that I can feel her breaths "did something happen today?"

"What do you mean? I went for a run! That's all." I push her away before I pass out of her nasty breaths.

"Met anyone?" she comes closer again glaring at me trying to read my face.

"No one special, just someone I will be working with for the event I told you about!" pushing her away again.

"Just someone? It doesn't look like just someone to me. Your lips have been smiling and they seem stuck. A CRUSH!!" she yells.

"No!!!" I cover her mouth "No way, just an acquaintance.

"If that's what you say. But I am telling you, if I figured that there is something and you are hiding it away from me, I …" she stops.

"You?"

"…"

"Did you glitch!" I snap my fingers.

"What was I saying?" she blinks looking all confused.

"Lack of food honey, you said you wanted to grab something to eat. Go wash up and let's go out." I laugh.

"Wanna bath together?" she says trying to seduce me with her moves.

"No one will get seduced after smelling you morning breaths! Get lost." I laugh again.

"You little… if only you were a big taller and older, I would…" she hugs me "you should wash up too. Not that you smell, but we need your fresh energy!" she spanks me.

"Of course! Right behind you, sir!"

We shower, get dressed and go out for lunch.

The evening

"Ah- home sweet home!" I sigh throwing my dead body on the bed.

"Are you that tired?" Clara asks.

"Of course! I can't feel my legs anymore."

"We didn't walk that long though. You seem like someone who can walk 10 miles without losing a breath!" she says organizing the stuff we bought.

"Just put them there and have some rest, I will organize them later."

"Neah, I am not tired. And who are you kidding? Have you checked your closet? Do you ever organize your clothes? And don't even get me started about you shoes and the grocery! Everything in your room is just a mess! Someone would think a boy lives here and not a girl." She nags.

"Uh! Enough with the nagging. You sound like my mother!" I throw my pillow on her but manage to miss her.

"You don't even know how to hit a target that is right in front of you! I am getting disappointed, I had high expectations!!" she says throwing the pillow back at me.

"Whatever!" I roll down the bed then stand to get some water.

"Don't you dare sleep right now. You have to eat dinner before!" she adds again with her mom mode.

"Fine!" I walk or hardly am walking

"Where are you going?"

"To the bathroom! Wanna join me---" I say supporting myself on the door siding my hair and closing my eyes real slow.

"What are you doing?" she asks and there is a huge exclamation mark over her head.

"Seducing you!" I laugh.

"You think that's is funny?" she comments putting a poker face.

"You did it before!" I shout.

"And here I was wondering what a beauty like you is still single. Thank you for giving me the answer. Go, just go!"

"What!" I pout.

"Go! I don't want to clean you pee too." She pushes me out.

"You will regret this!" I say walking away backwards pointing my index at her.

"I wish your threat comes true!!" she yells at me "you don't know how frustrating it is to leave you here all alone when I am out with my boyfriend."

I stop "What?"

"Get a boyfriend so I can leave you behind knowing that you won't be having time to miss me!"

"Who said that I miss you when you are gone? Plus, I do a lot of things when you are not around!"

"Whatever! Go and don't forget to wash your hands. I will get the table ready for dinner!" she enters the room.

"Do you nag like that when you are with your man? He must feel like he is dating his mother. I mean you nag way too much and uuuuuh" I mumble inside the toilet.

"You back?" she says without even looking at me.

"Ye, Ye. I am back mommy!" I say hugging her from behind.

"I heard you! Plus, sometimes men do like it when you nag. Some of them hate it when their girls don't nag at them. They feel like they don't care. Also, it is always great for a man to feel that his girlfriend is like a mother. All men love their mothers so you would be lucky if he felt like that towards you. You STUPID!" she lectures me.

"I understand!" I say letting go of her.

"Sit down. Let's eat! And after dinner I am expecting an explanation." Again looking so serious and doesn't even look me in the eye.

"Explanation?" I ask looking confused.

She places both her hands on my shoulder and apply some pressure so that I am finally sitting down "you have a boyfriend?"

"BOYFRIEND!"

"Don't act all surprised. We all did this when we first were caught but that is fine. Having a boyfriend is not a sin you know!" she says patting my shoulders closing her eyes.

"Huh? I really am not following? What do you mean?"

She grabs my phone then shows me the missed calls. There is an income under the name BOYFRIEND with a kissing emoji next to it "This!" she says then walks away with my phone.

"Wait! Who is that?" I stand up trying to get my phone back so I can understand what is going on.

"Darling, Darling! Are you trying to deny! Don't be shy, it's fine. I am just curious to know who had you under his spell. Who hunt this stubborn little angel's big heart?" she smiles.

"Let me see that!"

"Ooh--- you wanna call him already. Let's have dinner first then you tell all about this."

"Ah---- please Clara. Give me my phone back, I really don't know who is that!" I beg.

"Wait! You are serious! You really don't know who is this?" she asks looking all serious.

"Yes!"

"Who the**** is trying to bother my little baby!" she is mad now.

"Calm down. Maybe it is just Luke playing dumb again or trying to prank me." I say trying to calm her down and hoping I could get my phone off her hand.

"When did you start getting these calls? When was the last time Luke had your phone in his hands? Did you by any chance forget you phone at certain restaurant then some guy gave it back to you later? …"

"Stop! Relax first then let us figure who he is? You should have studied Law and specialized as a detective. It suits you!" I laugh.

"You have the guts to laugh! What if he is a stalker?"

"STOP! No more movies for you. Your brain is totally ruined."

"I was going to sleep in my room tonight but that is not happening babe. I will move in with you!"

"Hell no!!! Don't move in."

"You hate me that much?"

"No! I just have a mood. Now give me my phone. Let's find who that is!"

She hands me my phone and I dial the number…

"Hello-----" the voice on the other side says all cheerful.

"He is so excited!!!" Clara shouts as she takes the phone away "are you a pervert? Stalker? You gave you this number? Do you know her? Why the happy tone. Are you that happy? And who registered this number under 'Boyfriend' huh? Just wait until I find you, I will make sure to have your throat separated from your body. I will…"

I take the phone away cut that rampage. She sounded scary and she didn't even take one breath. The other side didn't make any sound. I hope he doesn't hung up because there is a zero chance that he would pick up again after this.

"Sorry, she is on her period. May I know who are you?" I ask all calm.

"WHO IS ON HER PERIOD? I AM NOT AND WHY ARE YOU SO POLITE TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW AND STILL HAS YOUR NUMBER THAT'S SUSPECIOUS!!" she yells trying to get me to give her the phone back.

"Roommate?" the voice on the other side asks laughing.

"Not really."

"She is amusing. Put the speaker on, that would calm her down."

"I don't think that would work. She is spitting fire!"

"Trust me. Just do it!"

I put the speaker on and place the phone on the table. She tries to get it but I stop her "Let's listen to him first!"

"FINE!" she sits down.

"You can explain yourself now." I tell him.

"Okay! Hey Jeana…"

She interrupts him "How you know her name?"

"Let me finish first lady!" He answers still calm "I am Julien. Sorry if my joke was a bit heavy. I didn't mean to cause such a scene. I just thought it would be funny after what happened this morning." He explains himself.

"Oh, hey Julien. No, it's fine. It was surprising though. Excuse Clara, she is overprotective."

"After what happened this morning???" Clara questions looking at me.

"Oh she didn't tell you. It's just…" he tells her all the details. Exactly what she likes.

Plus, what happened this morning we just happen to meet and that's it. Clara is all laughs right now. Who would believe that this is the monster from few minutes ago? They are chatting and laughing like some old friends!

"You know what? She didn't stop smiling ever since she got back this morning. Now I get it. Thank you for your explanation. I would like to…"

I interrupt her after running back from the corridor. I know that she doesn't keep a thing to herself but now she made me look as if I have a crush on him.

"Sorry Julien I gotta go now. See you later!" I hung up then glare at her "did you have to go that far? How am I gonna face him later? What if he thinks that I have a crush on him?"

"So what? It's not a big deal I am sure he knows that I was messing around. Yet, some of that was true, you were smiling all day long!"

"I ...was having a good time that's all!" I stutter.

"You stuttered--- I knew it!" she tickling me.

"No! You know nothing. Stop that 'knowing' of yours!"

He calls back…

"Oh----- calling again. He can't get enough of your voice! Hmmm---"

"Stoooooooooop!" I pick up "what's up!"

"Hey Julien---" she says right in my ear.

"Hey Clara---" he responds copying her tone "we are going to be good friends, I can smell it!"

"No one is going to be friends with anyone. What do you want?"

"Are you jealous already?-----" she continues with her act.

"Just get out!" I push her outside the room closing the door. Then get back to Julien "Why did you call again?"

"I haven't said what I wanted to."

"What?"

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, why?"

"Let's meet. The sooner the better. So let's meet to at least explain the major points about the club and agree on one idea."

"That sounds perfect. I don't like to delay things. Okay, where? When?"

"I will text you the details later. Good night, GIRLFRIEND!"

"Please! Not you too!"

"Come on! You know I am joking. Plus, Clara seems like a great person. She cares about you. A LOT!"

"Yes I know. But sometimes it's too much love to carry."

"People would envy you for that so be happy. Take good care of her and try to keep her. Pure ones are hard to find!"

"Thank you and again, I am really sorry for earlier. See you tomorrow and good night!"

"Byee" he hangs up.

I open my door and there she was eavesdropping. I look at her and I take my time admiring her warm yellow eyes then hug her. Her hug feels like the warmth of the sun.

"What are you falling for me finally?" she says hugging me back.

"Yes! Will you accept my love?"

"Baby, I have been waiting for this moment since the day our eyes first met. Let's get in!"

"Pffft! Shut up. Let's have our dinner, it probably all cold now!"

"Cold is better to cool down the heat of your body. I am sure it's sky high after the conversation you had throwing out!" she jokes.

I throw the noodles on her "stop it!!"

"Why baby, it's just the two of us and I accept being your side chick!" she continues with her jokes.

"God sake! Just eat. Get your mouth busy with something else!"

"Get my mouth busy?" she winks.

"I am done with you!" I laugh then take my jacket and leave her in the room.

"Where are you going baby?" she continues with her act extending her arm to me.

"To get some ice cream for the hot night!" I reply winking.

"Oh hurry up darling!"

I throw my shoes on her "Wake up you useless thing. Better find the table clean when I am back!"

"Why? OMG! Are we …"

I just leave her there.
