Chapter 17: Monthly anniversary

It's been a month since I got here.

Today is day 32 and a Saturday.

I was gonna go out and join the volleyball club and all. But I got this really huge assignment coming up and I thought I would work on that.

But My ADHD is back again....I found myself focusing elsewhere. So decided...I might as well keep writing my story.

I keep bugging Kai on chats. Somehow we chat great and yet when we're together we're super awkward. For now at least.

The other day he asked if I wanted to go grab lunch...I would have loved to...really. I love to look at his eyes...he's got double lids and they're so FREAKING beautiful! I used to wonder about why Asian beauty standards are obsessed with double lids and his eyes were an eye opener! He can crack jokes and speak so profssionally....and you would think he's quiet and shy then bam! He bombards you with cool questions. I would have loved to go have lunch with him. But I had no money.

Infact. ...after shopping for the essentials 'blanket and simcard and food' I had run outta money 2 weeks ago. My relatives turned their backs on me but Melat-that's my country and school mate-actually lent me money....as my teachers ran around trying to get me enrolled and get bank accounts and stuff.

Thankfully...I didn't had to lie to him. I had planned to meet with Melat that day....so I told him I was meeting somebody. His face fell. ..said okay and disappeared.

Gotta grab lunch with him some time next week and just look at his eyelids! lol. ..I don't even remember the color of his eyes. Geez!

I guess I will get paid next week....and might finally buy a real jacket for this cold!

Winter is coming.

So is Halloween!

Well. ..my classmates suggested we go for drinks next week. Hopefully by then I would be rich. I have never been to a bar. ...I don't have the slightest clue what 'go for drinks' means. ...and yes. ...besides that major assignment, that will require lots of coding-which i will have to learn- off google, I am starting a new class that is super intense and would keep be occupied all day.

But I wanna go.

I have missed out on life untill now....trying not to disappoint my parents. I wanna catch up on life too. I wanna have friends and actually spend time with them. I wanna dress up for Halloween.

I like them all a lil to much you see. I like walking to z office and seeing Aki and Dave sitting side by side and Luke and Aza and Aurora infront of them. I almost slammed right into David the other day. ..comin out z washroom....it was kinda awkward....but then I got lunch and cameback and Aki and Luke went downstairs and it was just he and I, and he showed me how to play a Computer game. He waved to me on a bus the other day as well. ..though I didn't see him. How nice!

And Luke is super eager to help out and has a cool deep voice....I am shadowing him all the time.

Aza is nice as well. ..she reminds me baymax cause she is fluffy is a nice way.

I really like them all....and I wanna catch up to life. So am going for it.

If this was a romantic story....something is supposed to happen at the party....like a drunk

kiss or smtn...lol. ..But this may not be a romantic story at all.

I am just gonna have diet coke. ..cause I can't afford to get drunk. After waking up in the ER after my first drink ever, I kinda developed a certain phobia to it.

I'm just getting to know my classmates better. ..and opening up to life...fingers crossed that the stars won't fall if I go to bar with friends.

But then. ...does anything go as we plan it to go. ...ever?
