Rima's Point Of View
I looked at my watch on my wrist for the nth time and bit my lips as my right foot unconsciously tapped the cement floor. "Where are they...?" I mumbled softly enough for only me to hear.
My pair of brown orbs wander around the sea of students swarming at our university's front gate. Scanning every faces, searching for the specific features that they only had.
You see, I am actually a very patient person. I can wait for you at 12 hours straight with no single complaint. ( Just kidding I might actually complain just a LITTLE bit. ) But taking note of my situation right now. Basking-- wait that's not the right term. TOASTING myself under the scorching sun. I don't recall picking a fight with Mr. Sun, then why is he roasting me right now?
Just adding notes but I also didn't bring an umbrella with me so that just explains why am I like this. Ranting at my inner self despite the calm demeanor that I portrays outside.I expected them to be here already. Since their classes ends 15 minutes earlier than me.
"Rima over here!!!"
My head immediately turn to the familiar voice from the side. Orbs dilated upon finally seeing my friends. "Where have you guys been??" I asked keeping my calm temperate as always as I took few strides closer to them.
"Sorry hehe It's just we went to see some hot guys on the gym" Lilly reasoned out.
"What do you mean "we" ? You forced me to come with you!" My other friend, Vielle rebutted.
"Stop it guys, I only waited for you two since both of you said you needed something from the bookstore." I stopped both of them before seeing a live action of Tom and Jerry again. It's tiring watching them argue.
"Fine fine-" Lilly rolled her eyes, finally giving up.
Lilly Renee Sullivan and Vielle Lockhart were the only friends I had. Ever since I have entered college.
I'm not really the type of person who has time to make friends. I guess it never really crossed my mind. I was too heavily focused on my studies since middle school and I used to get bullied for that which eventually I got used with. It has became a normal thing for me. Hiding my bruises from my parents wherein sometimes I failed so I made up lies that I got them from PE Class, tripping at the stairs or either from playing too hard with my friends. For some reasons they always believed me. After all they are too busy with our family's business that they have no time for me
And that's also fine. Like what I've said I'm used to it.

"Phew that was tiring!" I resist myself rolling my eyes and saying "yeah looking at shelves are really tiring" in a sarcastic tone at Lilly. I bet when it comes to boys she never runs out of fuel.
"Let's go to the nearby cafe and have a break!" Vielle suggested, putting a smile. Lilly immediately turns her head to Vielle, nodding aggressively.
I checked my watch it was already quarter to 2 and I still have a lot of school related things to do. But I was really feeling kinda hungry and a little thirsty so--
"Yeah let's go" I replied, shocking both of them. "WHAT? AM I DREAMING?? DID RIMA REALLY JUST AGREED???" Lilly exclaimed, attracting the near passersby and giving weird looks at our direction. "You're not! She did!" Vielle then said, jumping from her feet that I find cute.
"Lower your voices down guys. Come on before I changed my mind" Pulling their arms with me a sly smile crept into my face.
Finally we arrived at the said cafe, gladly it wasn't packed with people so we had a choice to choose our seats. I roamed my eyes around the cozy place and stop and the table near the plants that's also beside the glass wall so we can watch strangers outside do their thing. This is the spot.
"I found the perf-"
"OMG! OMG! LETS SIT HERE COME WITH ME!"
The next thing I knew was my arm being tugged by Lilly and forcefully letting us sit at a table which was a bad spot. "Lilly I found a really goo-" Once again I was cut off by her fangirling mode.
"GUYS LOOK ITS DARIUS LERMAN! ISN'T HE HOT??"
