"Come on, Tony. Please?" Sugei pleaded. "It'll go towards the organization."
"What organization?" I asked.
"The one that will be for fighting against racism. Now, please?"
"Fight racism? Ha, good one." Lesa tapped on my shoulder and I looked over to her. "Hey! Going to class, or are you done?" I asked her.
"No, I'm going to class." She replied.
"Oh... that's fun." I said, wondering if I could have said anything better to make the conversation a bit more interesting.
Sugei finished helping another customer and came back to me, "Tony? Come on."
"Ah fine, whip me up one, I'll be right back." I forfeited and gave a sigh, then turned to Lesa. "Hey, they're ice sculpting over there, wanna go look?"
"Ice sculpting? Okay." She had a look on her face, probably wondering why anyone, even promoting an university club, would be ice sculpting in the rain.

We got to the tent, behind it was a guy with a chainsaw, carving away at a block of ice. Aside of him was an ice-carved swan, and in front of him were other club members telling on-going viewers about the culinary club and offering them punch.

The guy asked Lesa and I if we wanted one and we accepted his offer. He poured a pink punch down a slope, carved from ice, and caught it at the bottom. "Here you go." I handed it to Lesa and he went to pour another one. "And here's yours."
I thanked the man and Lesa and I spoke a little as we stared blankly at the chainsaw-scarred ice block as a carver molded its shape and texture.

"Oh my gosh, it's my friend." Lesa said, somewhat excited in her tone.
"Huh?" I looked around to see who she was talking about, but couldn't determine who she was speaking of. She walked into the rain and started speaking with a guy. Her friend, it must be.

As I turned around, I caught a glimpse of something, someone familiar. Is that...? I asked myself. Was that you? I don't recognize the blue coat, but... I could see only your lips and a little of your face from behind. The way you walked. Did you... see me?

It's been a while, hasn't it? Since we've talked. I really wish I'd done something different. I really wished that... well, a wish is but a wish, isn't it?

I then went back to Sugei's foodstand and got my food. I sat in the hub by myself, wondering if we'd ever talk again, and if we did, what would I say?

"How are you?" I would ask. Not the kind of how-are-you's you would say to someone as they passed by, but really ask how you've been doing. I hope you're doing well...

"Do you... have a boyfriend?" I'd ask boldly. If you did, I would wish you best, if not... "Would you like to go out for coffee sometime?"

I really miss you.




It's so weird. When I'd used to have days like this, it would just be another day, but when it goes to writing it down... it all seems so memerable and valuable.

Everyone, keep writing and expressing. This may be a starcraft website, but it is the Literature forum. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, but hey, it's kinda like our own little playground, no?

Anyway... I'll add on to the thread title today.

I woke up late and class had already started. There was only time to put on some clothing and run out the door, hoping the bus hadn't pass by yet. It had. I walked home thinking maybe I should just skip class, all the notes are online anyway.
"No." I told myself. It's like throwing my tuition away, and plus, I had a feeling I should really go to class. I hopped on my half-aired bicycle, an old one I've been trying to fix up to ride. I made it to class half an hour late, leaving it with another fourty five minutes left.

Class was rather interesting today. I walked out of the building, thinking if I should go to the Hub to get something to eat. As I passed my normal route, I remembered: two days ago, was that... you?

I tried to take my mind off you, knowing that it would only be awkward if I were to see you and I really wouldn't know what to say if we were to talk. I went to Hogi Yogi and got myself a six inch sub, paid, and decided to eat it upstairs, where Lesa and the girls might be. That's when you appeared.

The world around me froze, including my blood, my brain, everything. All the motion in the world seemed to have transferred to my heart. My heartbeat was increasing by the millisecond, and that was all it was, speed. Soon it turned sour, bitter, and then began to hurt.

I stole a look at you; the blue coat, your soul-capturing eye, pulled-up hair, and your luscious lips...

Did you see me, too? If so... then why did you look away...?

I quickly tried to find an excuse for my eyes, something else to focus on. I walked toward the hub only to realize that I meant to walk upstairs. I made my way upstairs to the lobby, my mind still blank and heart pumping what seemed to be at gallons per beat.

The girls weren't there, so I figured I'd just eat my sub at the bus stop, where it could take me downtown and I could pump up my tires at a gas station. Just before heading out the door, I looked back around, tilted up my head to look at the clock. It read "1:20 (P.M.)" and I figured the bus would come soon. I looked down at the few computers set up for students to do quick checks online between class periods, and there was Arie.

Normally, I'd go up to her and speak to her... but I still couldn't get my mind off you. So I pretended I didn't see her and stared at the clock again, pretending to be calculating my schedule. I turned and headed out the door as she turned around from the computers and made my way to my bike.

Arie caught up to me and whispered my name from aside. She was on the cellphone with her mother, and so I just walked with her until we parted as we did before, just before the road. Arie is very pretty and intelligent, and truth-be-told, I even had a crush on her at one point, but still... you were all that could fit in my 22" head.

By thinking of you-
I am blessed with a wonderful plague...







I wish I could've written it better, but right now, guess what/who I have in mind -_- lol
