Only the quiet tick of the clock broke the room's silence as your mind wandered on how everything started between the two of you, but never recalling the moment.
Maybe it was that one time way back in March when she sent you a picture of peach flavored ice cream because apparently, it reminded her of you.
Or maybe it was when you ranted about how you had volleyball practice almost every day with no breaks making you lose your mind soon.
The question of how you became so close with Karina had come up in your mind from time to time but it would always end up with no answer. It's not really that big of a deal where an answer was needed asap, no. It was just like those shower thoughts, or maybe those random questions coming up in your head at 3 am while listening to your playlist with your headphones, something like that.
Regardless, whatever or however the conversation started, you were very grateful for it. Because now you have someone you who would listen to your random ramblings, whether it was about that hallway crush or that annoying History teacher who mostly talks about his boring life sorry not sorry rather than teaching the class.
You remember that one time she asked about your MBTI which was trending off at that time for who knows why. You did it before it became a thing even though you didn't understand half of what you were doing. You just did it anyway because the internet told you so. I mean why not? Looking back, you made a good decision of taking a 15-minute survey with just two of your brain cells functioning. Because now you both were texting each other nonstop knowing you were matching MBTI's with her.
And in the very end, Karina fell asleep in the middle of texting, debating whether fairies were real or not.
In class, Karina would be sitting beside you, always giggling about the smallest little things and making you hold on for your dear life to not burst out and laugh in the middle of the session. Because for some reason, you were so easily affected by her. Her smile makes you smile, her laugh makes you laugh, and her cheeky grin that was meant to you makes you roll your eyes in a playful jokingly way. Others would point out or look at you both with dumbfounded expressions because you two wouldn't stop giggling every 5 minutes. Everyone there already knew who those muffled giggles belonged to because of how frequently it would happen.
Before summer break started, you were whining at Karina about how you won't be seeing each other once the break starts. "You'll miss me, right?" became a habit of yours to say in your everyday convos, and her replying with a "Will I tho?" made you smack the girl's arm, becoming another one of your bad? habits. You got giddy hearing her say "Of course" to your ask if you could call her anytime you wanted because of how you'd miss her a lot mid summer break. Calling really wasn't your thing because you only have two brain cells that barely functions and you left your vocabulary somewhere making you end up in a stuttering mess, but you figured that you'd rather be mess in front of Karina than spending 2 months without hearing her voice at all.
One memory from another, you recall another happy moment with her. She was in the cheerleading team and you promised you'd see her cheer on the day of the game, but sadly you got a high fever the night before and had to inform her you couldn't get to see her on her first ever game.
You couldn't help but think about the disappointment in the girl's face especially when she was eager for you to come and watch. The temperature got a bit better the next day and you were debating to yourself. Yes, your head was panging in pain, yes your body was a bit too warm than normal, and yes you feel kinda numb moving and basically doing anything at all. But is it worth it to bear everything just so you could see Karina's surprised face when you go and watch her? Oh yes. You know damn well everything's worth it when it's about Karina.
There you were in a rushing mess, running around your room while trying to change, finding the other lost pair of socks while holding a cooling gel sheet for your forehead. Running wasn't good for you since it'll make your temperature go high again but all the rushed efforts will go to waste if you missed it. Is there any other choice? Of course not, silly. By the time you got to the gates of the school, all you could hear was the rhythmical beat of your heart with your panting, trying to calm yourself before you entered. Of course, she was the one who noticed you first. There it was. The face. The expression. The dimples that would show every time she smiled. Excitedly rushing to you and showering you with questions about your fever state. "Weren't you not feeling well? What are you doing here― are you okay? Are you about to pass out?" "I just couldn't miss your cheer. For sure would've regretted it if I stayed home" Your maybe not so bad habit had definitely influenced her when you felt a gentle smack on your arm along with a soft giggle from the girl.
The leaves began to lose their vibrant colors, crisping up and slowly falling down with the cold breeze flowing by in November. You asked Karina to go out and hang out in this cafe your friend told you that had the best pancakes in town, in which she happily agreed to and now both of you were walking in circles at the same place lost. Having no sense of direction and the Google map not being useful at all, you decided to give up. But someone didn't seem to be happy about that. "What do you mean, let's go to a different place?" "No, it's fine we can just go another time. Besides it's cold and you're not very good with the cold" You looked at the flushed red tip of Karina's ears and nose as you mumbled. "I'm not giving up. You were so excited about the pancakes, so we're going to eat that goddamn pancake!" And now you were walking again with Karina side by side but this time, you were holding hands to "keep me warm if you're that worried"
"What are you smiling so giddily about?" You snap out of the memories and look at the girl looking at you with concerned looks. "You look creepy to be honest babe..." "Oh shut up" Replying with a playful snicker you stood up from your seat and walked your way to your girlfriend hugging her from the side, resting your chin on her shoulder. "Hey, do you remember how we became friends?" Shifting your gaze to her, slightly tilting your head as you asked so. "Uhh... I don't... think so..." She now looked at you with a puzzled look. "I think we just went with the flow" "Haha, wow I went with the flow and got a girlfriend? Must be a mastermind then" Smackng your arm, Karina outed a chuckle. "Hey, remember when I used to smack you like that a lot? Rubbed off in you huh" "Oh I'm definitely influenced by you. Bad and good" You mocked an offended expression, holding your chest dramatically. "What's that supposed to mean??" Karina laughed again and went back to making her coffee. "I definitely remember that one time you came to see me cheer with a fever" It was now your turn to smile, hearing her recall the memory. "Hey how about that one time we went out and then got lost midway?" "Yeah, and you insisted on finding the place, even making excuses to hold my hand" "Aaahhh shush! Shut up! I was 17 leave me alone!!" Karina sheepishly grinned which made you laugh again.
"We had meaningless conversations all the time, talking about random stuff" Sighing softly as you linger your thoughts about the friendship you built with Karina. "What do you mean, meaningless?" Karina was now stirring her coffee, blowing it occasionally as she fixed her gaze at you. "All the conversations we had, meant everything to me" She took a sip of her coffee and shifted her gaze at you again. You could see the affection she has for you and can't help but feel your chest get warmer every second, while seeing the small smile and the little dimples on her cheeks showing.
Every moment we spend together will mean more than anything and everything to me than you'll ever know.
Karina secretly, quietly thought to herself whilst smiling at the woman she loved most.
