What now?" I asked her while walking towards the faculty room. I'm on a rush now, we have a deadline this afternoon for a plates and it's a major subject.
"Chill out, I just need my money." I sighed and handed her my plates to grab some money in my pocket and handed it to her in exchange for my plates.
"Enough?" I asked and she nodded, she left a kiss on my cheeks before hopping away like a happy bunny. Gosh, Im fucking fucked up. I ran until I reached the faculty and handed my adviser my plates.
I ran so damn fast that I could replace Flash. Every person I bump into gets a 'sorry' from my mouth. I really hope that she'll accept it. I put my blood and sweat in that.
When I handed it to her she looked at me raising a brow like asking but I chose to pursed my mouth. She accepted it and looked at it for a while.
Gosh.
"Okay, good miss Ozias." I felt at ease after hearing what she said. I went out of the faculty room with a smile on my face like I didn't run towards here, feeling helpless. I'm so damn relieved that it was accepted. I don't know what to do she didn't.
As I walked to my next class I noticed everyone, and by everyone I meant every single one, was eyeing their phone. It's like they're waiting for a butterfly to come out from their phones. Or at least waiting for gold to be exchanged by money. I mean, I look at my phone that way but only if I see a handsome guy.
When I reached our classroom 10 minutes early, I reached for Ivy's arms ''What's with people and phones?" she looked at me like I'm some kind of a girl from 1567.
"Girl? Seriously?" she asked, getting horrified at me. I think I made a big mistake for not knowing something they know, "Ugh! Let me explain it," she asked for my phone and I gave it to her, "There's this app called Pairing and it will let you talk to strangers. It's like finding a date by basing each other's personality," She smiled and handed me back my phone with a new app called Pairing. "It's good for someone like you who always says that 'looks doesn't matter'."
"Because it doesn't," I reasoned out. Earlier I was having a problem about my deadline and now I'm having trouble with a date? Nah, I don't want more trouble and problems.
I'm a moody girl and that's why guys don't like me. But I'm telling you, I'm gorgeous. I have wood like eyes and it's shaped like a monolid. My lips are always at it's finest color with or without artificial make-up. My waist length wavy hair is the darkest shade of black I've ever seen in my life which matched my eye lashes and brows. My nose is at it's finest length.
"Whatever girl," she laughed and walked away. I went back to my seat on the 3rd row, 4th from the right and noticed that my seatmate, Xeina, was smiling while looking at her phone. Is she watching some kind of a funny video or is she into that app too?
I was curious about it so I asked her what she's watching and then she talked about this guy he met at the app, Pairing. They have the same hobbies and apparently they click. She went on for a few minutes before our adviser came in and started lecturing.
The whole lecture was draining me. It's like learning to color when you're colorblind. Drawing when you can't sight anything. Listening when you can't hear. And talk when you're muted.
The lesson went on for an hour and when it's time to go home I rushed again. Like, rush rush. I was running and by that I meant running like flash. I already gave my energy to the lecture. I don't want to run this fast but I guess I have no choice.
Our driver is waiting for 2 whole hours, with Luen. And I know how short her patience is, and if you're unlucky it's as short as her. She's 5'2. When I was about to make a turn at the parking area a fucking guy bumped into me and made my fucking books fell.
"Oh! Shit!" I looked at the ground where my books fell, tired. I've been sitting all afternoon but my mind is so damn tired. I'm putting my everything on my studies and this is what I get? Ugh! I grabbed all my books, one by one.
Luen has a date tonight, even though she's a year younger than me, and she doesn't like being late on dates. I'm telling you. "Could you be more careful? Your so fucking careless," I said, anger is evident with my voice.
"Oh! Wow, I'm sorry. But apparently, I'm not the one who's running like a cheetah here. My phone even broke." I heard a voice of a guy that made me stop for a second or two but I immediately came back to my senses. Wow! He has a nice voice but still, fuck him for being this rude.
I stood up and looked at him, I was stunned for a few seconds. He has a pair of wood like eyes shaped as almonds, eyelashes as long as my hair, and a nose as sharp and narrow as a knife. His lips as peach as a peach and hair as shiny as glass like his skin.
'How did I ever get myself in the most embarrassing situation ever?' I almost chuckled to what I thought. Nope, no handsome man can make me feel this way.
"Well sorry mister, you don't have a younger sister who's patience is as short as a highschool girl," I said and ran before I could embarrass myself even more. He really is handsome, why isn't he familiar to me? Someone that handsome is supposed to be known.
I was starting to lose my breath, I'm not exaggerating here. Our department's building is the farthest building from the parking area. And It would take you 10 minutes to reach it but I reached it in a span of 2 minutes. Not literally though, I'm no mathematician to know how many minutes have passed.
I entered the car like I didn't ran, "Cleophe, I'm gonna be late!" Luen shouted but I couldn't give a fuck, I just met the most handsome man in the world, and I'm catching my breathe. I still can't get over him. He is tall, at least 5'11. His skin is so light and before I could even realize it we got home and I thought of him the whole ride. "Cleophe! Ugh!" I heard a groan from Luen like she didn't beg for money earlier. That brat! But yeah, let's go back to THAT guy.
The hours pass so fast, now, I'm already making more plates to have a high mark! I really need to burn my eyebrows for these plates.
I'm having second thoughts if I should use the application called Pairing but I've thought again and decided not to, because it will just be a waste of time. What if I'll like it and end up not finishing my plates? I made up my mind to not play with that app, nope.
But before I could know it I was already browsing through my phone, trying to stop myself from opening the app. I went to Twitter and posted.
Cleo @Cleopherye
So, there's this app, right? Will it be bad if I open it? I mean, I could find my soulmate there!!
And posted. So, I waited for few seconds and of course my classmate and friends already bombarded my post saying,
Ivy @ItzIvy
I told u! Might find mister right at Pairing!
Xein @Xeinana
Yup! Def! Superb suggestion!
Rosee @Roseero
So, u stopped making plates for this? Very nice!
Cy @PercyPeirce
Am I not enough? Am I ugly? :
And many more. Apparently, my family saw the post, and they're also trying to bombard it.
Luen @Chloueen
Bet there will be a boy there, check it out or u'll b single forever!!
YuMom @YulainaOzias
Hey! Didn't mention this to me...
Candle @Cyndle
Cous, told u to find a new man, not a new app!!
Ger @GeraldHandsome
iguess we don't have that cousin vibes, huh? where's the 'no secret allowed' gang?
They were a bit funny and I was curious how the fuck did Luen reply when she's on a date, guess it didn't turned out well.
I was shocked when someone knocked on the door of my room, I even fell from my seat but I stood up anyway and opened the door for.. my mom.
"Hey, you didn't tell me about your boyfriend," she said, boyfriend? The world is magical isn't it. My mom knows that I have a boyfriend and I don't.
"Mom, I don't have one. And how can I tell you about Pairing if you were busy from work, huh?" I asked, almost rolling my eyes.
"I came home after I saw your post, how's Luen's date by the way?" She started walking away and I followed her downstairs, to the kitchen.
I grab a glass of cold water and drink it before answering, "I don't know. Well, she managed to reply to my tweet so I guess she was bored."
"Maybe it's below 5," Mom said and ate her food. You see, my sister has this rate thing-y for guys. If the date isn't nice she'll rate them 5 or below and if it is, it will be 6 and above. She has her own world and we just let her.
We were young when our dad left, guess that's why she's seeking for a man to love her. We have never experienced being loved by a man, "You're almost graduating, you'll be taking over our company," Mom said in the middle of my thoughts.
"Who else? Apparently my little sis likes going to heaven," I joked which earned a laugh from mom. My sister is taking her course to be a Flight Attendant and she likes dates, so that's why. I'm studying Architecture and I'm the heir of our company because it's a firm for Architects. A Flight Attendant can't be it's owner, right?
We heard heels clicking on the floor and thought it's my sister that we immediately confirmed when we saw her at the kitchen door, "Poor guy, below 5," I followed it with a tsked to tease her. She doesn't like it when the date is not good.
"Poor girl, can't decide to open an application," She teased back which earned an eye roll from me.
"Ey, stop it you two!" Mom butted in, "What happened to your date Luen?"
"Date? What date?" She asked, playing innocent. We sighed and she followed, "It was like comforting a friend from a break up. He talked about his ex the whole time," she groaned and we chuckled.
We stayed there and talked for a few minutes until I decided to go upstairs.
I entered and saw my phone on my study table and I decided to grab it and opened the app called Pairing. It made me choose between REGISTER or LOG-IN which I chose the first one obviously.
It made me type a username which I typed with "Rye''. It's time for our second names to shine. I'm not gonna give my name to some stranger.
It made me choose my hobbies which I ended up choosing painting and drawing. It made me put a bio and I decided to put a '19| Archi| Arts|' and that's how the registration ended.
The Pairing allows you to choose guys or girls based on their description and if you both click on each other it will put you to the get to know process or a message. It took me minutes before a guy caught my attention.

He's already on my request list which means he likes me, this will be the first stranger that caught my attention so I also liked him back. Then I saw a little message sign and I clicked it. I thought that I'll be doing the first move but he's the first one who did it.
