*Beer in Can

Andrean’s POV…

After my last drink with Clarence nothing has changed. She is naturally hugging me whenever we bump into each other in the University (I figured she would not recall anything from that night). Few days before the mid quarter ranking Gail was still asking for my help and just like the good old days I was willingly helping her out. The only difference is that I am inviting my dear friend Clarence whenever I would stay after class to help Gail out.

I feel like it was a win-win situation for the three of us. Gail can get all the help she needs, Clarence seems to be really enjoying her time helping her out and I, I was just there doing some reports for the company and other investments. I was not really helping Gail doing her review, it may not seems obvious but Clarence got it covered 😊

The night before the start of the MQR I got a text message from Clarence.

Sender: Clarence

Msg: Thnx for letting me help her!

I knew there was something, I just figured when I got this message from her.

MQR Day, test after test after tests… It was kind of draining but it was just because I got some other things that I need to manage. On top of that Gail was still asking for our help so Clarence and I gotta stay after class, this time I can’t really multi-task because some of our classmates were joining too.

Overall, it was just a usual experience for Clarence and I.

End of MQR Day!!!

I’d been waiting for this day. Most of the time everyone are fund of going out to call for a celebration after announcing the result for MQR. Surviving the MQR Week and just having fun after all the stress and sleepless night. I on the other hand would normally go to the top deck of the old building parking lot and would just stay there for as long as I can.

After almost an hour of staying on my safe place I got a text from Clarence.

Sender: Clarence

Msg: I bet u already figured this…

Congratulations for maintaining the Rank 1!!!

I am making it look like we are both

Surprised hahahahaha. I know u don’t want

the world to disturb you.

 I am popping a bottle of wine for you!

I think it is my time to celebrate then. I took a can of beer from the cooler at the back of my car and toast for my simple success. A quiet world like this is what I have been yearning for.

I got lost track of time and same goes for the can of beers I have knocked off.

Boy – “Sure a bottle of Champaign or wine is good to call for a celebration. But this, this calls for an iced cold beer in can!” he handed me the beer and called for a toast.

I can’t see him clearly but I know he was smiling back at me. I can’t recall why we were celebrating but I know I was genuinely happy.

Boy – “I will be looking after you! We will be together…”

I felt him hugging me and I was legitimately crying. This time I felt confuse, was that tears of joy or was that because I was sad? I was trying to have a clear vision of his face just so I could recall who he was and where did I meet him. Was he even real?

I woke up during the wee hour composing myself. I am still here in the Old building parking lot, I probably dozed off after knocking off a dozens of beer in can. While driving, I keep myself busy remembering about my dream. This is not the first time, who is he? Where did I meet him? Or does he even really exist?
