Chapter 108 - 108: Sem Break Plan (1/2)

(Michelle POV)

After I shared my opinion, Andy seemed more at ease. Perhaps it was because I'm such a good advisor that he now knew what he needed to do? I don't know. Well, poor girl, she would have had the chance to have a future with Andy, but it's not like I said anything wrong. Besides Andy decided to study there in my timeline, so I think whatever I say would not affect his decision, not that I intend to meddle and make him change it. The outcome would be a fool proof success, so why change when it's really good?

Anyhow, Andy shared that I was the first person he talked to regarding this matter, and my opinion mattered a lot. At first, I felt a bit flattered. Wow, we only knew each other for less than a month and he approached me before his family and closer friends? Then again, thinking about it, maybe he thought that I would give an unbiased opinion unlike the others who would most likely convince him to stay. Oh well.

Then, he shared that he would need to confirm his slot within the week and school there would start in mid-September.

”You know Michelle, although we've only been friends this way for less than a month, I think that when I leave, I will miss you a lot. Would you mind if I were to call and chat with you from time to time?” Andy asked.

”Of course, you're always welcome to contact me! I would be very delighted and will reply to you or answer my phone right away! Just don't forget me when you're popular okay? You need to give me exclusive access! Like take your photo in the morning, take a video of you while eating, or maybe when you're in the gym!” I said while laughing. What? I don't even need to interview him! Just taking photos or videos of his daily life will attract a lot of traffic/ views if I ever decide to be a youtuber! I wanted to laugh evilly just thinking of the number of views I will get which translates to dollars! Hahaha!

Andy laughed heartily then he nodded his head. ”Ok, it's a deal then!”

”Ok. By the way, when do you plan to leave?” I asked.

”Ouch Mich. I feel so hurt. Already can't wait to get rid of me?” he said exaggeratedly.

”Eh? You know what I mean.” I defended myself.

Andy chuckled, ”I'm thinking first week of September at the latest, so you still have me here for more than a month! Oh wait, the semester ends in October, right? Which date was it?”

”Let me check the calendar.” I said then I brought out my phone to look. ”Yes, the 20th of October.”

Andy grinned then brought out his phone too, ”Oh this is awesome. The school in country A would be on break from October 30th to the 5th of November because November 1 and 2 would be on a Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Mich, what do you think of having a vacation in country A then? I can tour you around and then we can also join the festivities of Halloween on the 31st of October.”

That sounds brilliant! If Andy invites me with the gang, then most probably I can convince my parents to allow me since Kate and Lara should be with us. Then, Anthony will also be there, and we would be able to spend time together and… oh my god, the excitement is killing me! ”That sounds brilliant. You need to tell everyone about this plan as soon as possible so that they can fit their schedules to it too.”

”Oh… oh yeah. You're right. Ugh. I need to confirm my slot first though. I think I'm already distracted enough when I haven't started school there yet.”

I giggled. ”Yeah, I feel like a bad influence now! Oh wait, it was your idea!”

Andy chuckled, ”Indeed. Anyway, it's already 10:10. We should go back to school. Though I can afford to cut class since I'll be transferring soon, you shouldn't.”

Andy and I arrived in the ES classroom with only a minute to spare. Going inside, I saw that most of our classmates were already seated, amongst them were Lara and Steven. I smiled at the two, Lara gave me a smile back, while Steven gave me a curt nod.

Our professor arrived shortly after. When the bell rang, he began his lecture. Class was boring as can be, but I pretended to listen intently. Ugh. I have always hated science subjects the most.

Absent-mindedly, I started thinking about Anthony and how I should interact with him later. I was a bit lonely that he did not text me from last night to now. Did he already change his mind about us? No, that can't be. Anyhow, maybe I should take the initiative later?

Thinking about this, time moved quickly and soon we were dismissed.
