SEVEN

Finally! I am done bringing in my stuff.

Moving is a bit tiring but nevertheless it is what I wish for.

I still have no guts to visit the neighborhood I used to live in. I wonder how are the people who used to live there, too.

Maybe on the day after tomorrow or the day after the day of tomorrow I'll start doing my morning exercises again.

I think I'll go for a run and take a breather there, but for the mean time I should finish piling my things and organizing then I will rest up.

Hours passed, "Fck! I am so exhausted" I said as I lay down on the bed.

"Im'ma rest for a while then do some preparations if I wanna go fetch some drinks from that bar a couple of blocks away" lets out a deep sigh as sleep caught me.

*Ring. Ring. Ring.*

Hmmm. Blinks the eyes and fell asleep again.

*Ring. Ring. Ring.*

My goodness! I answered the phone without looking who dared call. "What?!" I said in an annoyed tone.

"Watch your tone little boy" the man on the line said.

"Uh.. Hey dad. Sorry. What is it?" I asked awkwardly.

"Have you gone to our old place? If not yet, I just wanna say that my old friend who used to live across us left that place already. I met them on a restaurant near our place today. Not that you really care but just saying. Take care there"

I was about to respond but that old man, seriously. Dropped the call without even hearing my answer and he didn't even ask how was my moving went. Tsk!

Anyways thanks to him I woke up. Didn't even realize it's past 7 PM now. Geez.

Took a bath quickly and wore ripped jeans, with white top matching it.

"I better get going now" I said as I brush my hair using my fingers.

Walking towards the bar as I hummed, I saw a familiar face.

"Oh? Ain't she the girl in the movie theatre earlier?" squinting my eyes to see clearly as I continued to walk towards my destination.

"But why is she with a guy? Thought they're a couple. Not that I have anything to do with it anyways" shrugging as I glanced at the girl once more.

"Yea, definitely her"

Entering the club, the high volume music beats pounded my ears "so lively".

Taking a seat on the counter of the bar, I noticed a very beautiful girl sitting on the edge.

I was shocked when the bartender spoke, "She's very pretty is she not?"

I looked at him feeling embarassed and said "She is."

He laughed and said, "But it's a pity. She's this beautiful yet she ain't into boys" as he smiled slyly at me.

I was dazed, and blinked fastly.

Once again he laughed then spoke with a serious tone,

"Her girlfriend dumped her just a while ago, saying that she's never into her and she only approached her because of her looks. I think it really hit her. How pitiful."

I gulped my drink, and order another one.

I looked at the woman on the edge, I saw her wiping her tears and stared at her drink.

She looked up the ceiling and sighed, as she turned my way she caught me staring.

I thought she'll mind me not but instead she gave me a sad smile which pained me.

As I got my drink I decided to sat beside her and crack up a conversation, but before I did she talked first which made me shocked.

"So you are coming to a place like this too. Doesn't look like it" she said as she look me in the eye.

I swallowed my saliva as I confusedly asked, "what do you mean?"

She sadly laughed in return saying "we just talked earlier today in the park. How forgetful of you"

"Oh God.." I said as I looked dumbfounded as she giggled.
