Cee stretched after the second activity of their club. Every morning, Interview with the Spiral is their theme. In the afternoon, they are love doctors. You can ask them for advices, send a letter or confessions, or request a song for someone special. All confessions and advice were broadcasted all-over the university.
She stood up and picked up the equipment on the sofa. Then she noticed a package of Trix there. Cee picked up the Trix and looked at it. There is a sticky note glued to it. She did not know the handwriting.
For a job well done, that’s all that’s written on the sticky note.
She glanced at the expiration date. Not yet expired. Who is it from?
From Rake?
Okay. Why was Rake immediately the first to enter her mind? It can be her friends, can't it? But why Rake ?! I think she needs to clean her brain.
Right after he left the broadcasting room he met Rake. Why is it that every time he looks around, this is what he sees?
"Do you have cereal again?" that was its opening to him.
Ah, so it's not from him.
Wait! Why does he seem disappointed?
"For your information, my secret admirer gave it to me," he said and followed it up.
"Secret admirer?" It suddenly laughed as if it was incredible that he had a secret admirer.
He was suddenly bored. "I don't know about you."
He had already passed Rake. She was only a few steps away from the man when he held her in his arms.
"Peasant ..."
"Oh?"
When he turned to Rake, he noticed its serious appearance. Suddenly her heartbeat quickened. He was almost deafened by the force of the pulse. Will he admit that the cereal he got in the office came from here?
“I”
He swallowed even more as his face slowly descended to hers.
“I”
The gap between their faces was only a fiber. Cee is sweating profusely especially when her fragrant breath hits her face. He placed one of his palms on her cheek and gently stroked her. The heat coming from his palm healed the hair on his neck and arms.
"I think you really need a push-up bra."
She was dazzling. Did he hear right?
“Just one. Bye. ”
When the man left, what he said finally sank into his mind.
"You're really annoying!" he shouted. He will make his cry heard all over Manila.
His forehead furrowed when he realized that the cereal given to him by his secret admirer was no longer in his hand.
Where did that go ?!
It's only THREE days of foundation week but their club's income is huge right away. Cee is now going to the SSG office to give Yohann what they are earning. The proceeds of the clubs this foundation week will be donated to various orphanages. That’s SSG’s goal this year.
When he reached the opposite side of the SSG office, Cee knocked on the door. He heard a faint ‘Come in’ from inside. He opened the door and slowly entered. Yohann was the only person in the office.
"G-good afternoon," Cee said to the man.
"Hn."
"Ahm, here." He laid on Yohann's desk the portable envelope containing the money. “From Lovestagram club,” he said.
He bit his lower lip. Yohann was so serious that he didn’t know what to say. He eventually decided to leave. It doesn't seem to remember him.
"All right—"
“Here. Thank you for the hard work. ”
She looked at his outstretched hand. A pack of Trix was on his hand.
"F-for me?"
It nodded.
Smiling he took it from Yohann. "Thank you!"
"Hn."
There was still a smile on her lips as Cee left the room. He leaned against the door and stared at the cereal Yohann had given him. It was really thoughtful of him. Even he thinks all clubs have given it Trix. This is the second time Yohann has given him cereal. Or a third?
He couldn't figure out why he was so relieved of Yohann. It looked stuck, scary and cold but he was not afraid to approach it. Maybe she really likes him that was why she was feeling this way towards him.
He had already arranged for us and was about to leave when he hit the wall.
"Aray," he said weakly while rubbing his forehead.
"What are you doing here, peasant?"
Cee frowned at the 'wall.' “You don't care about that, porky. Hmp! ” Cee threw a stone at Rake before passing.
"Hmm."
"Why did you follow, huh ?!" he was sick of Rake.
Shrugged was the answer.
He just imagined that Rake was just an apparition and it was not beside him. When she looked at the cereal she was holding, Cee smiled again.
“Stop smiling. You look like a fool. ”
“I don’t care. I still smile. I think it came from Yohann's cereal. ”
Rake suddenly snatched the cereal he was holding from him. "It's expired."
“Hey! Give it back! ”
He tried to grab the cereal but Rake just raised his hand. Because he was much taller than her, no matter how much he squatted, he couldn't get the cereal.
“Rake, eh! That's mine! ” He grabbed Rake's arm but he still couldn't get the food.
"What's so special about that Yohann anyway?"
Cee stopped then stared at Rake. He had a dream that he could not understand in its voice. When he looked at it, he could not read the emotion on its face.
“He's just special, case closed! That's mine, speed! ”
Rake didn't move and just kept staring at Cee. He sighed when Rake suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him even closer to his body. He was about to sink into its chest.
“W-what do you think you are doing, porky ?!”
Rake's scent swirled around Cee's nose. She could almost feel the heat coming from his body despite the shirt he was wearing.
"Annoying," he said weakly.
Before he could be silent, Rake released him. He lightly patted her forehead then walked away from her.
Why does this always happen to him? Why does she always kept on looking at his back?
