wee....the end is near...lolz [hr] [b]Chapter 20[/b] Although Sam and Will had been okay, Sam still can’t find a way to make Will fall for her. Days passed and Sam always spent her lunch and breaks with Franz. And Will, yes he was there, she always have the time to talk to him, yet he doesn’t seem interested. Sam oftentimes sees him with the same girl. Sam wanted to move on and let go of her feelings for Will. After all, there’s Franz. He had always been there for her. He had almost given her everything – his time, affection, care. Sam woke up late. Drei had left early for his morning practices. She dashed and took a bath fast. She ate her breakfast on the way. She arrived at the university main gate, panting. She walked past the medical building and bumped someone. “I’m sorry…I was in a hurry ---“ Sam picked the medical books and handed it to the person she bumped into. It was the girl. The girl she saw with Will. “Samantha?” “Huh? I’m sorry…but how did you know my name?” Well, maybe because Will had told her. Sam thought. But she still wanted to know. “Oh, I’m Danica, Will’s friend. You’re Franz’s girlfriend right? I always see you with him.” Danica smiled and took the books. “It’s not…well, we’re just friends.” Sam smiled. She doesn’t care if she’s late anymore. She wanted to know more about her. “Uhm…hey do you have classes?” “Well, actually I don’t have classes yet and I’m on my way to the library…” “Oh…okay. I was kindah hoping we can talk at the caf or anything…anyway, nice meeting you.” “Wait.” Danica called back. “I’m free. It was just a short research anyway, I can do it later.” The two of them headed towards the cafeteria. Sam was so curious about Danica, and what was the real relation with her and Will. “Hang on. I thought you were in a hurry…?” “I’m actually late for my first class…but it seems I won’t be able to come in late, I decided to just hang around.” “Oh. Is that so, anyway, what would you like to talk about?” “Hmm…anything actually.” “Like what anything?” “Uhm…well, how come you know my name? It’s not like Will talks about me or anything?” “Well…I know about your feelings for Will.” “Feelings?” “You love him right? And Franz loves you, but Will doesn’t.” “I know. He doesn’t love me. Just…just please don’t repeat that again. I’m trying to forget about it actually.” “Good.” Danica smiled at Samantha. “What do you mean ‘good’?” “It's good that you have decided to give up on him. Not that I’m discouraging you though…I see he’s not that interested on you. And if he really is interested, he should have been treating Franz now as his rival.” “Well…you do have a point.” “You know, if the person seems not to care or notice you at all, learn to give up. Find someone who’ll love you, someone who knows how to value you.” Sam found out that Danica was Will’s classmate in highschool who decided to take up nursing. She was a close friend of Will’s family and Sophia’s co-member at the Fashionista Club. It seems that Danica wasn’t that interested on Will, but everytime she sees both of them together, it feels as if there’s something going on between them. And what about the incident at the party? She was crying there…she was with Will that night. Danica is nice. She’s kind and easy to get along with. Sam can’t think negatively of her. She made her realize that you cannot get everything you want. Weeks passed and Sam got closer and closer to Franz. [i]This is it. Maybe Franz was really meant for me[/i]. Sam thought about the possibility of her and Franz being a couple. “Sam…” Franz held her hands one sunny afternoon while they’re taking a walk to the fountain. [i]Just ask me. Ask me and I’ll say ‘Yes’.[/i] “Could you come to this same place, Saturday, 4 pm?” “This Saturday? I don’t have classes so maybe…well, I’m not yet sure…is it that important?” “I really hope you’ll come Sam. It’ll be an extraordinary day, I promise.” “But that’s four more days?” Franz just smiled. It’ll be a special day, an unforgettable day for both of them. The day that he’ll ask her to be his girlfriend. It’s a good thing that for the past weeks, Will wasn’t at any of Sam’s class. He is attending special classes in the evening because of the intensive everyday practices the Lions are doing to prepare for the match on Saturday. It’s a big event since the two rivals of college basketball will be facing one another on court. Although the Lions always win against the other team, it’s just by a point, and most of the time they’re having overtimes. It’s a tough match between the rivals so everyone was training very hard. [b]THURSDAY[/b] “Hi Sam! How are you?” it was Danica. Sam and Danica were in speaking terms and both liked each other much since the day they met. “Oh. Hi Danny. I’m fine…how about you?” “Haha…so foolish of me to ask…of course you’re fine. Judging by your eyes…” “Why? What’s with my eyes?” “C’mon Sam. You’re in love!” “Hey am I that obvious?” “So…you really are in love??” “Ugh…well…it’s not that I’m deeply in love. I’m falling for Franz already. I dunno…I can’t understand myself.” “Ooh…Sam, so you finally gave up on Will? That’s good that you have already realized the value of the people who’s always there for you!” “Will…well…it’s hard though…but there are times that I think of him…” “Hmm…I don’t know if I should be saying this Sam…but, you see…Will told me he likes me.” Danica felt uneasy. She wasn’t intending to make Sam jealous. “Oh. Is that so? Wow. Good for you! I’m happy for you.” Sam didn’t know how to react. But it seemed that Danica didn’t say it to her to make her feel jealous. She was just being honest. “I’m happy for you too Sam! So, when are you planning to tell it to Franz?” “Anytime! Hehe…well actually, I think he’s going to ask me on Saturday?” “Wow. ‘Sam can you be my girlfriend?’ ooohh…how sweet! I wish I'll witness it.” “He told me to come at the fountain, Saturday.” “Saturday? So you mean you won’t watch your Kuya?” “Watch what?” “Oh, Sam! It’s the big game! Lions versus the Danes!” “What? You mean…crap. What time will it be?” “Hmm…around 3 pm I guess. At the Dane’s court.” “He asked me to show up at 4! I guess I won’t be able to finish the game.” “Then I'll just record it for you!” “Really? Thanks so much.” “Oh, Sam…I'll be off now. I have a class.” “Okay…bye bye Danny!”
