Secret Feelings

 “Do you like Calvin?” Kit was caught off guard with Danson's question. “O-of course. I like him, he's my best friend...” she said. Danson laughed and shook his head. “I mean, like as in the way Calvin liked Joy?”

“No. I don't have that kind of feelings towards him. Besides, I told myself that even if he's the last guy on earth, I won't ever fall in love with him.”

Danson sighed with relief upon hearing her answer. He was scared that Kit would have fallen in love with Calvin. The truth is, he’s secretly in love with Kit. He was trying to make his move in courting her, but he was scared that Kit would get mad at him if he would confess his love for her. Kit seems to be comfortable and contented with their friendship, and he was scared that if he tells her what's in his heart, Kit would avoid him.

“Is... is there someone else that you like?” he asked again. He knows that he should not ask that question to her, for he's scared to know the answer. His heart would definitely break if he found out that she's eyeing on someone else. “There is...” Kit answered. Danson looked at her. “Too bad, I just can't tell that person how I feel...” she continued. Danson swallowed hard. He was blaming himself for asking that question. He could feel his heart breaking into a million pieces, but he composed himself and continued with the conversation. “W-why?” he forced himself to ask. Kit sighed. “Because that person is in love with Calvin...” she said. Danson looked at her with disbelief. He could feel what Kit will tell her next. Does Calvin know all a out this? “Who is this person?” he asked. “Oh, that person I like? Well, let me describe him to you. He has this big black orbs, when he smiles, you can see his cute cheekbones. He have this thin lips that you would want to kiss. All the girls liked him, but like them, I was also broken hearted when he confessed his love for Calvin...”

Danson could not believe what he just heard. Kit just described Chun, for he never thought she would like him. “You mean to say you like Wu Chun?” he asked. Kit nodded her head. “When Chun made his love confession in front of everyone, believe me, I wanted to kill Calvin at that instant. He was like matchmaking me to him, then it turns out that Chun would fall for Cal!” she said in a hurt tone. Danson doesn't know if he'll laugh or not. At least he was relieved. His rival would not be her best friend, but her best friend's gay admirer. “Well, you can laugh now, Danson. I know it's really funny for me to fall for someone like him, huh?” she said. Danson shook his head. “Of course not. I feel for you...”

Calvin stared outside his bedroom window. He was staring at the room opposite his, which is Kit's room. The lights from Kit's room was turned on, and he saw Kit enter the room. He immediately took his phone and called her. After three rings, Kit picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Hey, Kit. It's me...”

Kit looked outside the window and saw Calvin staring at her from his room. He waved at her. “Look, I'm sorry about what happened a while ago. Please forgive me... you know that I don't want you to get mad at me...” he said. While saying that, he was giving her puppy eyes. Kit just laughed at him. “Stop giving me puppy eyes. You look stupid....” she said. “Then tell me you're not mad at me anymore...”

“OK, OK, OK... I'm not mad at you anymore. I'm sorry if I acted that way awhile ago...”

“Then we're good?”

“Yes, we are.”

Calvin smiled at her. “How's your day without me?” he asked. “It was OK. It was fun hanging out with Danson.”

“Seems like you're getting close to him, huh?”

“Why, are you getting jealous?”

“Guess he's more fun than me, huh?”
