Achieved the number of kilometers I'd set for myself, I dropped on the grass heavily breathing and feeling the pain in my knees. It is tiring that I think my body is going to get numb, the sweat is coming out in every part of me, but the joy this whole thing gave me is unexplainable. I stretch my arms and legs like I just woke up from a good nap and drink water as much as I can. It felt great.
'Hey. He's here again.' My bestie run to me with a giggling voice and pointed out the guy on a bench staring at us. It made me happy. He's nowhere to be seen these past few days, and I thought he wouldn't come back anymore.
'You better go and talk to him. Don't waste both of your time drawing each other. For all I know, you guys are both in the drawing club, right?'
I roll my eyes and stand from where I'm sitting. This girl won't just shut up. If someone heard her, I'm done.
'Okay, okay. Just shut your mouth and behave.' Jokingly, I said to her and run towards the shower room after I get my belongings in my locker.
The water starts dripping on every part of my body, and it feels really refreshing. The heat and sweat I'm feeling earlier have already changed into a cool and relaxing one. The closer I get my shower done, the harder my heart beats. I'm going to talk to him. If he is still nearby, there's a high chance that I'll make myself like an idiot and talk to him first. But it is already months since I knew him, and none of us dares to talk that it's killing me.
Hair done. Lotion done. Face done. Everything is done. Except for my heart that supposedly should calm down, but it's not. I feel like at any minute now, it will burst. If only I can control this nervousness I'm feeling right now, it will be an easy task. I started walking and check if he is in my line of sight, and he is. Sitting in one of the trees near me, he is holding a pen in his right hand and a drawing board on his left. His eyes are focused on the white paper in front of him. I don't want to disturb him, but I also don't want this to be a never-ending cycle of staring.
'Hi.' Gathering all the courage, I greeted him with a smile on my face.
His expression shows unexpected shocks when he realized that it was me who calls to him. I am shocked myself when I saw a picture of me clipped on his drawing board.
'Hello. Have a seat.' He said while slightly hiding his blushing face from me. It is kind of awkward to speak, but the expression he did make me want to tease him more.
'Never thought someone would steal a picture of me.'
'No! It is not like that. I-I get it. You-your best friend gave it to me. I mean, I ask her for it and she gave it.' Stuttering, he explained himself.
I laugh at my heart's content when he's done talking. Not that I care where or when he got my picture. The fact that we are talking right now made me happy.
