ORANGE

I walked inside the 24 hours store (Petrol Station), then I saw that girl by the cake side staring at them. I thought girls with slim waists don’t eat anything that has more sugar and more cream on top of it. When I was about to approach her, I saw her crawling with a cake that was in her right hand, then I quickly went to her.

“Why are you crawling with a cake in your hand?” I asked, with a shocked voice and face.

“I was actually looking for something on the floor,” she said, while looking down, and she got up, carried her cake with both hands now.

Her voice, it was softly kind of deep, however it was beautiful. You know those ladies who can sing perfectly who has deep voice when talking! That’s her voice. I was not having a bright full day, but her voice, and her being next to me and talking to me, made my day to have more colors automatically.

“What are you looking for?” I asked whilst looking down where her eyes positioned.

“My bank card” she replied, with one look upon my face and looked down immediately.

I helped her to look for it, then I realized that I am left alone, she’s nowhere to be found. Why is she always trying to escape from me? What did I ever do to her? Or am I not her type? Those questions kept filling in my head.

“Hey, I found it.” She said, with a card on her hand showing it to me.

I chuckled and scratched my head, whilst looking at her with one eye. I was happy, relieved and a little embarrassed that I was paranoid thinking that she made a fool out of me.

She moved toward me and asked “Hey, are you okay? Why are your eyes kinder red?”

“Oh! Yeah it’s just an allergy, I am here to check something for my allergy,” I said with a full of energy coming out from my mouth.

I honestly didn’t think she will notice. They say if she noticed, it means she cares. The thought of that made me happy.

“Okay, I hope you can find it, bye?” she said, and turned her back pretty fast.

She ran so fast, she disappeared into a thin air. Am I seeing a real person? I’m starting to ask myself. Every time I think I got a chance to ask her for her name she always manage to escape from me. I find my way to my favorite fruit: grape. I love grapes, with whole of my fiber. I took grapes, and grape juices, they were 10 of them. I took the whole pack of juice.

While I’m at the counter paying, I saw her talking with one of her friends by the store’s window.

I waited for her beside my car, to finish talking with her friend.

“Hey, where are you staying?” I asked, hoping she could answer genuinely.

“At the campus, just here,” she said, pointing at the campus.

The cake she’s holding smell very nice. The smell of that orange it’s very strong, it could reach my position while I am meter away from her.

“Oh, that’s near, cool,” I said while shaking my head up and down in a slow motion.

She seems so sweet, and now she’s not wearing her makeup, she looks very cute, and naturally beautiful.

“Can I have your name?” I asked, politely.

“I am Erich, and you?” she said, while staring at me, I felt the knots in my stomach, I have been waiting to know her name since forever. Her eyes were captivating.

“I am Nathan, and nice to meet you Erich,”

She has the guy’s name, but the name suit only her not anyone else.

She said, “Nice to meet you too,” while looking down, with a shy look.

That was so cute, I felt my lips smiling. My heart starts beating a bit fast. The best feeling ever. She turned around and leave, and I was still standing there watching until she reaches her residence.

We sat next to Erich’s friends, at the school benches outside. It was a very beautiful day after bumping at Erich yesterday and submitting my assignment today. Man! I couldn’t sleep last night without thinking about her, and now I’m next to her, I just waved at her with a small smile on my face, but none of our friends saw that. She looks beautiful as always, the peach color of her top compliment well with her fair skin.

I saw her taking out her orange juice from the bag. I guess her favorite is orange, yesterday it was a cake and now it’s a juice. That made me smile a bit more, looking at her lips covering the straw, looks ridiculously cute.

“Who are you smiling at?” Aaron asked, while turning his head to the same direction as mine.

“Smiling at them,” I said, with my head pointing at them.

“Why?” Aaron asked giving me the scrutinizing look.

“Because I just feel like to, there is definitely nothing wrong with that,” I gave him a steady answer, and turned away from Erich.

“We have never greeted them before,” said Edward.

“So you guys just like to follow them around, and never talked to them?” that is the weirdest thing a person could do, I laughed at that after saying that.

These guys are definition of “Creep” I chuckled at my thoughts. Then I saw Toni standing up, left his backpack and went to their bench. Three girls, and two guys. And he sat next to Erich, and I felt my heart aching, the jealousy nearly covered my face.

“You look beautiful today,” and that was Toni, telling Erich, I gave him a very sharp look.

How could he? Is he mocking me to see my reaction! I just described her to them what kind of a girl I was talking about, and by their looks they knew that I was talking about Erich, so now what is Toni trying to do. And she’s laughing now, at Toni’s jokes. I don’t like this feeling; I hate seeing her laughing at some guy’s jokes.

“Why are you grumpy?” that’s sarcastic question from Toni, I actually hate, he asked after moving from them to me.

“Don’t annoy me.” I gave him a menacing look.

And he just chuckled, he cared less about my menace glare.

We all moved to their bench, now sitting with them. And we just got along very well, after we all introduced ourselves to each other. And I made damn sure that I sit next to Erich, I felt the side of my body that was next to hers, burning up. I moved closer to her, just for our body to press against each other, and I was surprised that she didn’t move an inch away from my body, I guess she also liked the feeling of our body against each other.
