text message...


Today while I was in class, I received a text message...
From one of my friends.
She is in campus for a visit.
My first instinct was to decline and I did.
But she texted me back saying the offer still stands if I ever have a change of heart.

Honestly...
I prefer staying in my room...listening to songs...or go to the convenient shop to buy some vanilla ice-cream to watch Korean drama with...
Don’t get me wrong, I love hanging out with the crowd...
They make me laugh so hard every time...my cheeks are red.

Then, there is this...well, ‘tendency’ of mine...
I am a chameleon.
I’ll be whatever character that is not yet taken.
If the crowd already have a jokester, then I’ll be the one that laughs at the joke the hardest.
If the new girl seems to be struggling and lonely, then I’ll be her kind and helpful new friend.
Since, my crowd is very loud...so I tend to be quite – the listener.
I don’t know what me.
So I always thought that I’m doing them a favour by staying away – I don’t want to bring the atmosphere down.

After the class has ended, I catch my usual bus ride.
I kept reading that text message.
Thoughts like...
Maybe she just asks me out of politeness...
Maybe they need more bodies to get the party going on...
Then again...
Why am I being so calculative?
There is a whole new world going on outside my own.
Mine will still be there even if I left it for a couple of hours, right?

Herm...^^

In the end, I texted her back saying that I’ll join in too.
And you know what?
I’m glad that I did.
