Chapter 21:

Tell me

Dreams of Reality


      I wasn't thinking about yesterday much, but it's already noon and today Shara wanted to do something. I am starting to get exhausted from spending my time talking to someone. I never was the kind of guy who would go outside every day and enjoy it to the same extent. After today, I won't go anywhere for like a month or so. I don't understand how some people can have the energy to spend time with other people nonstop. How they don't have to need to be by themselves sometimes and do nothing. I need that. I don't envy them, everyone likes different things. I just can't see myself doing this.

       We will be meeting at the same place as yesterday with Alan. I am getting sick of that place. Why is everyone going there? It's not that great. Looks like I am here first. I think I'll wait for her before ordering. I was waiting and waiting. I feel like this has happened before. At least I will get hungry more and won't have any problem eating all that food.
After some time, what felt like hours, she finally came. She was breathing heavily, probably running the entire time.

"Sorry for being late, I had to help my parents with some housework. I see that you were holding this seat for us. What do you want? I'll go and order."

"Number 6 please and thank you." with the speed of light, she turned around and wentstraight to the kiosk. She returned quickly. "How much do I owe you?" I said while grabbing my wallet to check if I have some cash on me.

"You don't owe me anything. I asked you to be here, so keep your money."

"If you say so then"

       I know it might seem rude, and many people would insist on paying it back, but what's the point? She indeed asked me to be here, and I indicated my intention of paying for my meal, and if she wants to pay for mine as well, I won't complain.

"So for what I am here today?" right as I asked, I got a feeling I said something similar yesterday.

"No special reason," she said as she sipped her soda, "What? Do you need a special reason to go outside of your house?"

"No, I am just asking."

"You were with Alan yesterday, right? What are you talking about with a guy like him?"

       That surprised me. Why is she asking about him, that way? Was there some kind of incident? This got me worried a bit.
