“Dude, you okay? You’re spacing out.”

“H-Huh? Ah, yes. I’m just gonna go out, ‘kay? I’m gonna buy something to drink.”

“Okay, be back immediately or just text me incase we’re not here anymore when you get back,” I just nod and went out of the arcade. My friends insist to hang-out at the mall before going home. (A/N: Malls in the Philippines has arcades inside it like TimeZone and such, I don’t know in other places though)

My head ached slightly because of the noise inside and also because I never have enough sleep before that day.

That guy didn’t let me sleep, he ruined my mind. I didn’t see him that day, I know I must be glad, because there is no one pestering me anymore but that’s not what I felt. I’m sad, I miss him. I was walking towards the exit when something caught my eye, it was the toy catcher that we played on before. I stopped and the list came to my mind. The last time I tried it, I still never got to catch the rilakkuma stuffed toy.

I walked towards the toy catcher, I saw that the rilakkuma stuffed toy he wanted was still there. I really want to catch it for him. I didn’t notice that I’ve been trying again and again, and again until I caught the toy, I didn’t know how many times I tried.

I wasted all my money just to get that rilakkuma stuffed toy, I never thought that I’m serious in getting it. That’s the only thing I know that can make him smile so wide. Realization hit me that time, it’s been so long since I’ve become serious to something or someone and it feels good.

I kept on playing with the plush toy, I smiled when I imagine it pouting at me. I took my cellphone out from my pocket and searched his contact on my phone book. Luckily, he wrote his number on the list and I managed to saved it.

That boy.

I laughed when I finally found his name on my phone book, that’s what I set as his name because until now, I still don’t know what his name is. We have a weird relationship, we are together for a long time but never once did he mention his name to me. And I just let it go.

                -to: that boy; You said on the list to never let you cry or else you’ll punch me, I’m sorry if I made you cry, okay? Don’t punch me anymore, just smile for me instead😊 I already caught the rilakkuma stuff toy that you wanted 😊 😊

I sent the message to him, I didn’t get a reply immediately. Until I arrived home, that I heard my cellphone dinged.

                -from: that boy; ☹

That was his only reply, a sad face. I creased my forehead and thought about it. I changed into my pajamas and laid on my bed while still looking at his reply. What’s the meaning of it? I thought he will be happy of my text.

                -to: that boy; why?

                -from: that boy; didn’t we break up already? ☹

                -to: that boy; the 30 days is not over yet, isn’t it? ☹

With too much use of the sad face, my lips also turned upside down just like the sad face while staring at my cellphone screen.
