Lost In The Mist Of Time - 4

"So you're thinking about me?" he said as I faced him. It's embarrassing, but I'm just speaking the truth, right? Right?

"Uh, yes," I shyly replied. I don't know why. "I just remembered what happened in the infirmary," I added.

"Ah, I see. Is that what you call a crush?" he asked teasingly.

"As far as I know, according to Merriam-Webster, a crush is a strong feeling of romantic love for someone that is usually not expressed and does not last a long time. And as far as I'm concerned, I just mentioned that I was thinking about you and what happened in the infirmary," I coolly replied. Her reaction changed, as if she was amazed by what I said. Is it a problem for her?

"HAHAHAHA, I really like your expressions. It's unique," he said happily. Huh? What did she say?

"Huh? Unique?" I asked him, puzzled.

"Yes. Your expression is unique. It's genuine. You show everyone what you want to express, with your voice, with your words," he explained. Okay?

"Ah, okay. By the way, why were you behind my back?" I asked him. He avoided eye contact with me. What's his deal?

"Uh, well, I just wanted to invite you," he replied hesitantly, and Ella suddenly squealed. What's wrong with her? Invite for what?

"Shut up, Ella! Your scream hurts my ears," I scolded Ella. "Where?" I asked Cam.

"In one of our villas. It's located in Batangas," he answered. Huh? Batangas? That's far! But I want to go.

"When?" I asked again.

"From Friday, until Sunday afternoon," he replied, holding his head. Of course, the one on top, not there. Not what you think, you all p*****t!

"Is there a beach? If there's a beach, I'll go," I said happily. My eyes were sparkling. It's been a long time since I last went to the beach.

"Yes, there is," he said cheerfully.

"Really? Okay, I'll go. But wait, why are you inviting me?" I asked, curious. Do I look easy to pursue?

"On the island near our villa, they will have a fiesta, so I want to invite you. Ella can come too," he said, and he seemed overly happy. You can tell by his eyes. Those again!

"Really, can I come?" Ella asked happily, jumping up and down.

"Yes, and that is for what I did to you, Yuu, last time," he said. He is talking about when I fainted when we hit each other? But I've already forgiven him, and like I said, I was also at fault.

"That's okay now. But it's also nice that you invited us. I miss the beach too," I said happily. It's fine, right? He's not a bad person anyway. Right? He's not, right?

"I'm glad you're happy," he replied with a smile.

The break ended, and we returned to our respective classrooms.

"For your assignment tomorrow, please write an essay about why people get curious and whether it's important to be curious. That's all for today. Goodbye!" our teacher said, and my classmates who were just sleeping earlier immediately left. Why are they like that? Don't they enjoy studying? Young people don't appreciate what they have until it's gone. In a few months, we'll be entering the real world. Will they be able to survive?

"Maya, let's go to the mall! Let's buy swimsuits," Ella said happily. Oh my goodness! She's so excited. Well, it's already Wednesday.

"Okay, we'll go to the mall, and you'll buy a swimsuit," I corrected her.

"Huh? What do you mean me? The two of us," she corrected me.

"I don't want to. You know me, I don't like wearing those kinds of clothes," I told her, walking straight to the gate.

"What? You're already a young lady! What will you wear? T-shirts and shorts? You're such an old-fashioned girl," she said, annoyed. How did that become old-fashioned? This person really thinks differently.

"I don't want to buy it," I repeated. Why should I buy one when I already have some at home? I haven't even used them yet.

When we stepped outside, we walked towards the jeepney terminal when suddenly a speeding car almost hit us. How rude!

The car immediately stopped and approached us. I looked at his face, whoa! I know he's handsome even with his nose and mouth covered by a mask. Yesterday it was Cam, and now him? Lord, are all your angels coming down?

"Miss, are you okay? I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry," he apologized. Even though I find him attractive, I didn't let it show.

"We're fine, but please be careful next time, you could hurt someone," I said seriously. Of course, so it won't be obvious.

"Sorry, I wa—" he didn't finish his sentence as someone spoke behind me. It was then that I noticed Ella wasn't with me.

"Niichan?" said a familiar voice.
