Kit's POV
I like you too.
It was like a broken recorder, it kept on repeating on my mind. I was utterly shock with what he said that I wasn't able to word out anything before he left. My mind was still processing his words.
Ming likes me?
He likes me?
He can't be serious.
I shook my head.
Impossible.
It was definitely his way to get even with me.
Sometimes it is really better to think the worst in a situation so it won't hurt that much if things don't go well.
I like you too.
Meanwhile, my heart was very happy with what it heard and refused to acknowledge the danger it came with. Still fazed with his words, I headed to our hangout place. I saw Pha, Yo, Beam and Forth having a sweet time with their respective partners. They were drinking the milk tea I bought earlier. My wandered searching for someone.
"He left, " Yo said.
"Who? " I said trying to act unaware of who he was referring.
He only smile as a response.
"Ming? " Beam asked, confused.
Yo nodded.
"Ah yeah, I heard him talking on the phone with Prin? Fry? Whatever! Then left" Beam added.
"Why do I care? " I said angrily. I've tried my best not to look disappointed, it will only fuel Beam. He just shrugged. Pha just gave me a knowing smile.
I ignored both of them.
Telling me he likes me but going out with someone else.
Demanding me to break up with Ice but he gets to keep Prae.
You are really a player Ming, a very cruel player at that.
It's okay. It's okay. I kept on reminding myself.
Since I have nothing to do, I headed to the auditorium. It was still a bit early but I needed a diversion. When I arrived, some of the member of the student council were already there. They were making sure all were ready for tonight's event. Others were doing the last details for the stage decoration. I didn't know this was going to be a big event.
This wasn't my cup of tea but I can't back out now.
I sighed. I scanned the room to see where I can sit and stay while waiting.
"Hey Kit, you're early. " Gan said, one of the 'item' to be auctioned too. He grinned widely.
I smiled at him.
Gan looked good on his white v-neck top and torn jeans. I wasn't surprised to see him here as one of the 'items'.
"Are you ready for our date? " he said wearing a very pleasant smile.
"Huh? "
"You know, I think I'm going to have to win you tonight. " he said with a tone of humor in it.
"Ahh, can't wait. I'm boring as a date though. " I told him and winked.
"You just have to show up there and let me do the entertainment, " he chuckled.
"What will you do? " I asked.
"First, I can dance, " he winked at me and gave me mysterious smile.
"Okay, second? " I went along.
"I can dance and third, guess what? " he said acted very enthusiastic.
"You can dance? " he has a very contagious enthusiasm.
"Nope, I can make you dance. " showed me his winning smile.
"If that is the case, please win" I said. "Can't wait to see it, "
We both laughed after.
"Anyway, is there anything we can do to help them while waiting for the others? " I referred to the members of the student council who were so busy for the event.
He sat beside me."I think they will tell you "just be your handsome self" so we can sell you quickly. " he said.
"Hehe, funny. " I rolled my eyes.
"Are you really dating Ming? " he asked after a while.
"Huh?" I asked.
"You know, you and Ming together" he expound.
"I know what dating means, " I laughed.
He laughed along with me. "Oh you do? "
"It's just that I get that question a lot lately, " I snickered.
"To set the record straight, we are not dating, " I added.
He kept quiet.
I sighed. "Should I record myself so I don't have to repeat my answer over again? " I added.
"or you can wear a t-shirt with that message on it, it will surely save you time and energy. " he joked.
"Good idea! " I beamed. I forgot that I was on the edge of the stage so when I moved, I almost fell. Luckily, Gan was quick enough to hold my hand and pulled me.
He laughed out loud. "Be careful, that's not how I want you to fall for me. " he joked.
I rolled my eyes again then laugh. Our laughter filled the room. My gaze went to the door that opened. I saw Prae entered the auditorium followed by Ming. She was clinging on to Ming's arms. He looked as if he was having a good time with her based on his smile. Our eyes met then his gaze shifted to my shoulder being held by Gan. His smile slowly faded away.
I felt awkward and slowly kept my distance.
I smirked and looked away.
Prae is I think the longest girl he's had. I took a deep sigh.
From now on, I won't let you affect me anymore.
You don't exist. I kept on chanting.
He was about to walk towards us when Ping told us to gather around. I triumphantly grinned. We were nine in total -- two girls and the rest were men. I looked around and watched everybody. Most of them were from the engineering department. I felt like I was the odd man's out. All of them were exceptionally good looking.
I sat on a vacant chair next to Gan.
"Hey, " I didn't notice Ming was able to successfully come near me.
"Yes? " I raised my brow.
"Can I borrow your pen? "
This guy is unbelievable. "I don't have one. "
"Come on, steal one, " he used his lips to point the pen at Gan's desk.
"What the -- I don't steal, " I exclaimed, trying to control my voice so I won't get any attention.
"Liar, yeah you do.. " he said.
"What? " I want to really punch this man in the face.
"Kitty darling, stop lying." he warned me.
He touched his left chest.
"You just stole my heart. " he said then winked at me.
I bit my lower lips to suppressed a smile.
