Before Her
==[In front of the school gate, Thursday 5:14pm]==
"Where are you going, mate?" Mike asks, catching up with me.
"Where are you going, mate?" Mike asks, catching up with me.
"Imma heading to the swimming pool. would you like to join?"
"Vic, I'm going to see this girl i told you before, the one I matched on Tinder."
"Which one?" Mike takes out his phone and opens this Tinder app, a girl's face showing up.
"Not bad, right?"
"Yea, but hope you won't run away this time again."
"What're you talkig about, Vic? why would I?"
"Remember the last one you got on this app? you said the girl tried to make you married her after one month."
"Well, so I'm going to cross my finger and hope this one won't be like this."
"Good luck, Mike."
==[Swimming pool in the community, 6:35pm]==
It's been almost 3 months after I came to China. I came here with my parents who are teaching in a Foreigner Language primary school which i'm an intern of. I like it here in China but sometimes you just miss the atmosphere among people back home. Chinese people seems to be quite indiffierent in my opinion. Well, not all of them. Some are very hospitable when they try to practice English speaking with you but that's not what i want.
"Ha-llu, do you nu-eww?" A stranger girl asks, excited. The other one is hiding beside her, not dare to look at me.
"uhmmm, you meant in this community? Not really, I've been around for a while." I say, calmly.
"Can we make fee-and? I liker han-some man." Her accent is quite strong but thank god that i can understand or it would be awkward.
"ahhmmmm, thanks but i'm not interested in." I seat up and am ready to go. The girl seems to be shocked with my answer. Sorry for breaking the image of foreigner's hopitality.
==[At the apartment, 8:20pm]==
"Hey, How's it?" I ask when Mike comes back.
"She is HOT! I'm telling you this mate, you need to get one." Mike is whistling with a happy tone.
"Sounds great, but i'm fine." Having my dinner at the kitchen.
"Though she has a little difficulty to keep up the conversation, she has this deep v-neck blouse for our first meet. It's been a loooong time i didn't see this kind of hot,open-minded girls. I'm hungry for it." Mike's ears turn red, telling on his enthusiasm about his hot date.
"Imma happy for you mate." washing my dish plate.
"Give it a shot. you've got nothing to lose, Vic."
"True but i'm tired of all this girls coming at me either for their vain or English."
==[after shower, in bed, 12:45pm]==
I try to read a book but my head seems block down all the words from it. Staring at my phone, I fetch it and type Tinder.
