My Heart is Yearning...
Normal Monday lunch time; the school canteen is packed with students.
Viola falling in line to get food while Olivia is sitting and waiting for her brunette friend getting their lunch.
Olivia not looking to anyone passing by the table, her eyes is focus to Viola; meters away smiling to her and she smiles back.
Both girls exchanging smiles and glances.
She really is so beatiful even just by sitting like that. I grab a food tray and starts to choose foods of my likings and for Olivia also. I just volunteered to get our food, I had this feeling she will get into sticky situation just by waiting in line. I already got our lunch and food tray almost full (lunch for two), accidentally I bump into someone who passes by at my side. Surprise of the bump, I tried to balance and steady my hold of the food tray, I manage to save the tray but I will hit the food counter at my right side.
"I got you" Duke Orzino, swiftly hold Viola's shoulder to steady her .
Momentarily I am saved from messing up with my lunch.
"Nice save" students behind Viola approving Duke
He smile to them, then smile right back to the brunette infront of him.
I smile back to him "Thank you Duke, I couldn't imagine myself cover with tomato ketchup and mango juice right now.
"I wouldn't allow that Viola" he motion to escort her walking "Let me walk with you" he winks at her
Im not expecting that wink, I couldn't help not to blush. "It's fine Duke, I can handle this." I keep walking and he is still walking beside me.
"I want to make sure you don't bump to anyone again" Duke can't help smiling to Viola
Both of them reach the table where Olivia looking at them.
Duke pull the chair to let Viola sit "Here"
I put the tray on the table "Seriously you don't have too" I hesitate to sit down, it feels akward, though I really like it, seems like Duke Orzino is giving me attention right now.
Olivia keeps looking the two of them right infront of her, her face is serious blank expression, slowly into a frown. Somethings going inside her head withnessing this scene between Viola and Duke.
"Come on, this the best thing I can do after bumping you awhile" he smiles widely to Viola
Giving up to Duke persistence "Okay, and thank you" I sit on the chair and smile to him.
"See you around then, and you too Olivia" he winks at Viola again walk away and leave them.
"So Olivia" I smile to her "I got your favorite food for you, just exactly what you like"
Olivia raising an eyebrow to Viola….. and then FULL SNOB "hmmmmpppp!"
Defeated expression… ouch…. "What did I do?" I place our food on the table.
Olivia still snobbing Viola
I place our food on the table "mmmm Aha…." I smile widely "Your are jealous?" I raise my left eyebrow and right eyebrow alternately.
Olivia's eyebrows meet the center staring at Viola "As if.."
"O…kay…" I want to tease her more, but looking at her now better stop it.
Olivia focus to her lunch… "I'm not jealous… I am hungry, took you forever to get our lunch! Hmmp! Shouldn't come with you in the first place"
Chuckles " Remind me next time to audio record your statements, so I can play it again and again the words you said." Seriously she's the one forcing me to eat lunch with her inside the school canteen.
Olivia not talking anymore…..
Both eat lunch together.
PPPPPP-
Afternoon Art Class
The Art teacher gave class activity to go outside the classroom and roam the school ground and find an object, scene, view to draw.
Olivia position herself away from the school fountain, she is sitting on a wood bench. She hates the art thing, so she's just chilling out and relaxing under the shade of a tree.
While I am sitted on the wood bench a litte further infront of the school fountain… I've been focusing my energy and unleashing the inner artist inside of me. I carefully stroke the lines and curves, outlining carefully the whole image of the school fountain and the view behind it. I should make this perfect… But sometimes I glance at where Olivia sitting "Geez, she is so relax, the perks of not caring to get high grades"
Olivia just sitting…. I don't care Mode is On.
Suddenly someone sit beside Viola. "Hey"
I look right away who sits beside me "Duke" my surprise reaction….
"Hope I'm not interrupting" he smiles
"No it's fne" I smile back and tuck my hair.
"I saw you while I'm on my way to the clinic and decide to stop by and check on what are you doing here" he peeks on the drawing
Crush moment I can't help not to blush and embarrass to show my drawing "Just an art class activity"
"Care to show it to me" though he took a glimpse of it already
I am hesitant to show, it's not really a work to show off "Here, don't say any comment" I handed to him.
Duke looking at Viola's drawing, then give back to her… "It's pretty nice actually" he smiles "You got an artist touch…"
Flattered… "Thanks, though it's not that nicely done" I bite my lip… OMG crush attack…
Olivia looking at them…. Staring intently… (Viola crushing hard to Duke), she just stays like that looking at them until Duke leave….
After Duke left, I glance and check on Olivia's doing at the bench…. "Seriously Olivia" I murmur to myself "She really didn't do anything, just sitting there" looking at Olivia sitting there…. How can someone looks so pretty…
Then Viola continues her work.
PPPPPP-
Todays class ends
Sighs… "Olivia just disappear after the bell rung…" I keep standing at the school gate, waiting for her "Maybe, she's just gone into something important….." then something cross my mind… "Or maybe chasing Paul" Ouch it hurts….Sighs… "But then I should wait for her, afterall she is my friend , my so special friend."
25mins passes by…. "Im so stupid, I could have texted her…. But what if ….." given up… sighs…
"Fancy meeting you here Viola" Duke smiling while as he approach walking near to her side.
"Yeah fancy meeting you here Duke since…. Everyone obviously walks here everyday" Olivia emerging behind him and stand between Viola and Duke.
"Olivia where have you been?" I face her and I can feel her pulling me more closer to her away from Duke
"And Duke hello" I smile to him blushing, I don't know but both of them giving me blushes.
Dukes smile back to Viola "I'll be leaving now" he walks away leaving the two girls behind.
Olivia follows her gaze to Duke as he walks away, sharp gaze….
"Hey Olivia…" I nudge herside softly…
"What?" she retires her sharp gaze to Duke who is walking far away now
"Where have you been? I waited for you… like an hour" I fully face Olivia so close to me now… OMG she is so sparkling
"31mins and 15 seconds you stand here waiting for me" Olivia casually said that
"Weeee…." I make unbelieve face… So accurate "mmmm…. Did you intentionally make me wait for you all this time" I back away a little further away from her.
"Fine! Your brain falls into the negative side." Olivia swiftly turn her back and walks out right away.
Sighs "Okay, I'm sorry" I walk faster to catch up with her.
They both walk side by side not talking…..
Olivia gets closer and slide her hand to enterlaced it to the silent Viola.
I can feel her hand and enterlaced with her responding with a gentle squeeze.
Olivia keeps walking and looking ahead " I had to do an excuse letter for our art class, because that art teacher is so stupid forcing non-art students to do artistic activities." She scowls and getting irritated about it.
I squeeze Olivia's hand "Next time, I will do your art"
Olivia confuse " Do my art?" she glances at the starting getting confuse Viola…
"Huh?... I mean… Help with you art activities….. Were in the same class you know? Seatmate?" Geez why to confused… I scratch my forehead.
Olivia laugh…. "Do my art… Haha" suddenly she got this funny feeling.
"Oh shutup… I will not help anymore" I pouted
"Yeah, you can do my art Viola…." Olivia controlled expression seems like another laugh will come out
I smile… She's so cute, so weird… something like that can make her laugh… Silly and yet so pretty….
They continue walking to the train station….

Saturday night
I was with my mother, we were out for dinner and something important came up, she needs to leave me. So I need to go back home alone. I feel bad something like this happening, mother needs to work even its her rest day and there's nothing I can do…. Somewhere inside my brain, there is this idea; I should find a work. Weekend work will not hurt right… sighs… But mother won't allow it….
"Viola, sending you to school is the only thing I can do for you, so get serious with your education" –Viola's mother reminder to her all the time.
Feeling mopey with our situation…. I keep on walking, our house just near 1 block more…
"Hi" guy's voice
I get startled and quickly look at the guy "Duke! You scared me!" I hold my chest
"Sorry I didn't mean it that way, didn't mean to scared you Viola, I keep calling you and seems like you don't hear me…" he stops beside Viola
"Oh no, I'm sorry… I have a lot of thinking…."
Duke smile "It's okay, I'm just glad to see you now… So I guess you live somewhere near here?"
"Yeah, 1 block away…. I don't think you live here" I look around the neighborhood.
"I don't, my aunt live here" he motion to point a white painted house "I'm just visiting my cousin, catching up some good things of our lives…."
"Cousin bonding time… sounds fun" weird why I don't feel crush attack right now…
"I can walk you home…." He looks into Viola's eyes
OMG his eyes… okay I can feel the crush attack now "No, it's fine and" I look at my wrist watch to check the time "It's already late, you better head home" I look away…
" I don't take no for an answer" he winks "Come on" he starts walking
"mmmm okay.. if you say so" I walk right after him
Duke slows down his walking and walk side by side with Viola… he chuckles….
Viola and Duke keeps talking about soccer along the way and didn't notice they are nearing the house.
Dazzling….
My hear stop…. Olivia is standing outside the gate of our house…. "Beautiful" I murmur…
Olivia keeps standing at the gate and she looks at them walking towards her position… Her facial expression is blank…
"Olivia is here" Duke glances at Viola and smile.
The blond keeps looking at them, not moving and now her eyes expression is mad…
I hurriedly stand next to Olivia… I been having this fast heartbeat with Duke but this excitement seeing Olivia is more intense. "Olivia what brings you here?" I'm blushing looking at her.
"Hey Olivia, looking pretty" Duke greeted with smile and stop infront of her.
Olivia raise and eyebrow looking at Duke "Thank you…"
I feel bad maybe she waited longer "Olivia did you waited long here? Im sorry I went out to have a dinner" interrupted
Olivia cut off Viola "No" stiff Olivia "I was looking for Paul and waited for him"
"Infront of Viola's house?" Duke surprise reaction.
"Paul lives right next to our house Duke" I corrected him
"But she could have waited infront of Paul's house?" he seems like insistingly confused
Olivia cross her arms and look at him…
"But Paul usually stays and eat dinner in our house mostly this time…" I'm clearing the confusions, more like clearing Olivia's stand.
Duke's pone buzzes and he reads it…. "I want to stay longer but I need to go home now…. See you guys at school on Monday" he quickly walks away…
Both Viola and Olivia watch Duke hurriedly walking away…
I can sense it, Olivia is angry…. I know this situation when she can't find Paul, she gets totally freaked out…. Sometimes I wish when Olivia said she's done with Paul its more like done done….
Olivia frown…. "Why he is with you?" looking at Viola, questioning expression
Why his with me?... I don't know… OMG I'm confused what to answer, Olivia looking at me like that it confuses me a lot…. I need to explain it right… braink work… work…
"You, have dinner with him?" Olivia second question.
"What? NO!" I immediately answer
Olivia still frowning "Then why he is with you?"
Scary Olivia " I'm with mother awhile dinner time, and she got an important job call so I have to go home alone…."
Olivia listening….
Sighs "And Duke saw me walking, his aunt house just 1 block away from here and he insisted to walk with me till here…. That's it…." I glance at her still frowning….
"Okay…." Olivia short respond " I texted you…"
"OMG really?" I hurriedly get my phone sigh… "It's dead battery… I'm sorry" I show to her I feel bad "I'm sorry Olivia."
Silence….
Olivia get something shiny ouf of her bag "Here" she handed one of it to Viola.
I accepted it, It's a matching bracelet…. Makes me giggle "So cute!... Thank you Olivia" I can't help it I feel so especial…."Is this what you came here for?"
"NO!" Olivia immediately answer and stiffen expression again…
I look at her seems like angry face "Paul?"
Olivia didn't answer "Help me put this on" she ask Viola to help her put on the bracelet to her wrist.
Sniff….. she smells so good even her hand… "Done, it looks nice to your wrist Olivia" I smile sweetly
"Stop being weird Viola, your smile is weirding me" Olivia pulls Viola's hand and help her put on the bracelet too.
Weird smile? I frown…. Fighting my smile… "Thank you Olivia" controlling my emotion… I'm so happy looking the bracelet on our wirsts… and I just notice Olivia still holding my hand….
"Okay, this is a really weird night…. "Olivia let go of Viola's hand "I will leave now" she starts walking
"Olivia…." I call her name softly…
She stops and face the brunette "?"
"This is really weird night" I smile warmly to her
Olivia rolls her eyes and ready to leave again….
"Olivia…" I call her again and flash my wrist to her and show the bracelet she gave to me….
"?" confused Olivia
"Show your bracelet too…." I chuckles "When we fight or misunderstand and just being weirdly us… we show this" I motion my wrist and flash the bracelet "It reminds us that we are here for each other no matter what…. And what we feel, will always be renewed…."
Embarrass Olivia, flashes her wrist also and her bracelet dangles, it shines "Your stupid and I'm becoming one now" she chuckles "Can I go now?"
I nod….
Just then Olivia shift to walk…
"Olivia…"
Deaht glare…. "Viola I swear….. one more of this dorkiness of you, I will choke you to death!"
"You look beautiful tonight…." I look at her, she got this mad impatient expression because I keep stopping her from walking away….
Olivia surprise to hear that… then her expression become stiff again "It's a waste Paul can't see it, Goodnight Viola" this time Olivia keeps walking and can't be stop anymore.
"Goodnight Olivia…" I watch her walking away and feel the bracelet hanging my wrist…. "Too bad I'm not Paul…"
