You Light The Way

His Vague Plan

"What's with the face, A?" salubong ni Kalix sakin.

I get annoyed even more. Remembering that it was supposed to be him who'll say to my mother about me joining the Arts Club.

"She knew it."

"Huh?" his puzzled face makes me conclude that he knows nothing. 

"My mom already knew what club I join for the upcoming school event" I sigh and stretch my arm to release some pressure. 

I couldn't believe how news flew that instant. I wonder who did mom conspire with. Is it our adviser? or some of my classmates? The more I think of who it is, the more I just got a headache.

"Woah, really. Tita must have some eyes for you in this school. How come she knew when it's only the two of us who know about our doing" he said while putting his fingers on his chin and looking up, thinking.

"My problem is that--- she told me to transfer to the Music Club, and if she knew I disobey again, there are some consequences that await me" I groaned in annoyance, knowing that I want to join the art competition. I really hate being unheard of with no choices to choose.

"Tita hasn't changed at all, tssk" Kalix shakes his head in disbelief.

"Okay...I have a plan....join the Music Club, and I'll talk to the Art Club president so that you still can join the art competition'"

"How?" I raised my brows in confusion; his suggestion seems good but somewhat illegal.

"Akong bahala," Kalix proclaimed while wiggling his brows. 

Hm, here we go again with his 'akong bahala' but always ends up with me dealing with everything.

"Alright, if you say so....I'll go to the Music Club later, kinda not in the mood today" I stretch my hand and yawn. I want to take a nap just for a bit since our class would be at 10:30 am.

"Wanna eat something, waffles?" 

"No," I said while shaking my head.

"Okay," he said while heading out of the room, probably going to the cafeteria.

I rest my head on the table, I wanted to sleep a bit, but different thoughts keep coming into my head. It seems like they want me restless. I sigh again, and instead of napping, I get my phone and watch some Blackpink and BTS videos to keep me calm.

20 mins had passed, and Kalix returned from his food trip, yet our adviser wasn't here. 

"A, I'm going to the art club later for the orientation. Wanna come?" he asked out of nowhere while I was busy watching videos.

"You already knew my situation. If mom finds out, I'll be dead meat," I answered while raising my brows in annoyance. I know that he only wanted to help me, but sometimes it feels like he's mocking my situation tssk.

"Alright, Miss Obedience, I'll just inform you regarding what they will discuss later," he said as he tried to pat my head. 

"Btw, when are you going to the Music Club? I'll come with you," Kalix said with a curious expression. It's really a good thing to have Kalix by my side. Who knows my every low.

"Yeah, sure, maybe later at 12:30," I replied while turning off my phone. Our professor is still not here, and there's no announcement by the president whether she'll come or not. I turned my back and faced Kalix to ask him some random questions.

"Kalix, have you seen the teaser of Lisa's solo?" 

"Yeah?" he said boredly. I laugh at the thought that he might sleep late last night just for Lisa's teaser, one of the members of Blackpink, known as the queens of K-POP. Together with BTS, they're the reason which gives me the strength and bear to obey my mom's behest.

"When do you think will her solo be released?" I constantly asked.

"Seriously, A? What do you think of me, a foreteller?" he said while raising his right brow. Honestly, I know that what had been written in the teaser was just a plain 'coming soon,' but I want to annoy him.

"Alright, enough of that. I remember what you said an hour ago about your plan," I said, changing the topic. 

"Yeah? Why?"

"If I'll go with your plan, what if mom figures it out? For sure, it will be me again who'll deal with her just like what happened yesterday, noh'" I exclaimed. 

Gago! he just laughed at me. 

"KALIX! I'm serious, you know." 

"No, HAHAHA. Your face looks red, blush on?" 

"Duh, are you dumb? The aircon is off, and it's so hot, that's why. I don't use make-up, i***t," I stated, a bit annoyed.

"Sorry, hmm," he said as he became serious and looked at me intently, making me feel a little conscious as I feel nervous with his glare.

"What now? The plan, you know? How will I fool mom?" I exclaimed with a worried tone. 

But the i***t keeps staring at me like I'm some prey he'll devour any moment.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I tried touching my face to know what's with it that makes him stare.

"You're pretty," he said blankly, which widen my eyes. He sure knows how to make the atmosphere awkward. I whack his arm and pinch it afterward. Why is he blabbering nonsense again?. After pinching him, he seems to be back on his senses. Is he sabog or what?

"O-oh, what did I say?" he asked nervously.

I can't believe this man. Did he daydream?

"Nothing, you said nothing. I have been asking you about the plan. But it seems like you're mind is on another planet," I said as a matter of fact while rolling my eyes. 

"OHH! yeah, the plan....what's the plan again?" he asked blankly like his mind is in haywire that he seems to have a hard time processing what we have been discussing.

Grrr, he is such an i***t.

"I said! The plan you had proposed an hour ago about me joining the art competition," I patiently explained because this dumbass looks so sabog.

"Oh right, sorry I was a bit off. I was thinking something a while ago. The plan? Hmm, let's talk about it tomorrow. I need to plan everything so that your mom won't find out," he replied with a smile. 

Kalix! You're so weird today.
