"Uh.. CNU?" I am so sure that I was stuttering! OMG.

"Yeah, didn't expect? huh?" He sighed.

"Yeah. What's up?" I tried to sound as casual as possible. Really, I tried.

"I'd like to ask you out." WHATTTTTTT? Ask me out? Like, ask me out?

"What? ask me out?" I can't believe what is he sayin.

"No, I didn't mean.. ask ask you out. I'm asking of you're free, so we could talk about the contract..like, you know.. our business."

"Oh." I can feel disappointment. No. "When?" I asked.

"Uhmmm... Maybe, tonight?" Is it tso urgent? What's all these about.. but I can't.. I have plans with....no one. Who am I kidding? I am totally free. But I have to decline his offer. Maybe, I wasn't yet ready for this. I wasn't ready to face him.

"I can't. Sorry. I have plans already. Let's just move it to another day, maybe I'll tell you when I'm free already." I excused hoping he'd buy it. I was extremely nervous. Like, I can't wait for him to say something and it's scaring me that something will get bad.

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Okay, thanks for the time, though. Bye."

"Bye." It hurts to hear his voice to fade through this electronic phone. I put it down and went to my room. I brought out my sketch book and found myself sketching again.. Yeah, I often do these. Maybe because I just really like to spend my time with my passion. That's what I do! I hae to get away with the confusing thoughts around me. I can't give myself some hopeless hopes. It wil hurt more. I know.

"Have you signed up for the contest?" Gongchan said as we're walking in the hallway after the discussion we had about the project we're making. Actually, there were no flirts and sweet talks during the last three hours we're together. He'd laugh at me, and somewhat stare at me but he didn't made any move. Now, I can't figure out what he wants. Last night, he was making it so obvious that he's hitting on me..now, he'd act like we're business partners, so professional and I don't like it.

"What contest?" I looked up to him and gave me a glossy paper. 

"That's the drawing contest our school helding out next week. Many students proposed these since we've got a great club for artists. And You! are a genius! You should really sign up." He glanced at me and I am so unsure
