It was a little past four in the morning, and I could hear the clock ticking near the bedside - each sound was like torture to my ears. My mind was bombarded with the thoughts of what happened the night before. If there was ever a time I felt miserable, none would've been a match for that moment. Mia and I go way back, but the thumping feeling and persistent toss and turns were unimaginable. I was glad she came back. Perhaps, that grateful feeling was directed to her Dad than it was, wholly, about her.

Sadly I awoke to the familiar, but yet frustrating banging outside my room door. It was Eric and, I barely slept four hours. Somehow, he forgets I always keep the door unlocked before I go to bed. *(Mum's idea)* His tiptoeing was as annoying as his whole attempt to sneak under my bed.

"Can't he ever take a hint?", I mumbled under my pillow.

"Oops! Seems like you're already awake", he said with a grin on his face. "It's Saturday, dude".

"C'mon, it's time for practice!", he yelled.

"I'm up. Sheesh!".

The School has started preparations for the upcoming Inter-high competition. I was obviously pysched about the opportunity to help the team win the yearly Football Merit award. But, I had another thing, or so to say a person in mind.

"MIA!".

As awkward as the whole situation was I wasn't sure I could walk out the front door. Mia was just a Stone's throw from my place. Hell, we're neighbours now. After what I did last night I couldn't stop to face her. It didn't take long before things got out of hand.

"Hey, Vic. Wouldn't you go say Hi to Mia before we leave".

It came. The words I didn't want to hear. It felt like I was hammered with a sledge. Even when I was already feeling regret for freaking out in the last meeting.

"Wait. You guys talked last night, right?", he asked giving me a weird look.

"Not really. I guess we didn't talk very much", I answered.

"Will you stop acting like you're the coolest kid in the world and say what you really feel, right now!", he said abruptly.

Like I said, Eric had always known how I felt about Mia; about anything. He was right to be upset at that point. I was bad at lying to myself. Meanwhile, he was so good at putting pieces together.

*Sighs*

"Listen, Eric. I adore Mia. You know that already", I said raising a brow. "I told you. We didn't speak very much last night. Her Dad was not too far from us. I wasn't sure what to do...", I continued.

"...so, you left?", he asked.

Of course he already figured I did that.

"Yes", I answered.

I could tell he was annoyed i wasted his efforts, but there was nothing he could do. It was a long and unbearable silence that followed while we walked that morning to the training ground. However, it was written on Eric's face that he was cooking up something - one that I wouldn't like if I come to hear of it later.

Greetings!
