Cruel Summer

2nd Cruel Summer

I suddenly opened my eyes when I remember the thought that someone is waiting for me in the morning, that I will read a "good morning." greeting from someone that isn't my family or friend.

I ecstatically opened my phone, then tapped on the dating app, because I was expecting Yuri to greet me, to my surprise, I was disappointed, there was no "good morning." message, I frowned as I got up my bed.

I looked in the mirror then sighed, "He is a med tech student after all, maybe he's just busy with school and stuff."

He did tell me that his schedule is messed up because of covid, and that he has school during this summer, well I was already in summer vacation, it's understandable.

I took the brush that was lying around on my vanity, then started to brush my hair, "Delilah, this isn't you, you are not going to simp for some fella that is way out of your league." I talk to myself often, keeps me sane for some reason.

I did think to myself that I shouldn't get attached to this person, because one, I don't know him that much, two, he is far away from me and there is little chance that we will meet, and third, online dating is a little bit suspicious.

I heard that a notification popped up on my phone, I should ignore it a little bit more, 5 mins so that it wouldn't look like that I was waiting for something to pop up on my phone.

After 5 mins of waiting, I finally picked up my phone and saw that Therese was the one who messaged me, I was disappointed because I was expecting Yuri, I sighed then read Therese's message.

Therese -
"Good morning bitch."

Me -
"Yes, Good morning to you too bitch."

Therese -
"Wala lang, gusto ko lang mang-istorbo, good bye!."

Me -
"K fine salamat sa istorbo bitch, I'm really grateful."

I just smirked then left my phone on the bedside table, I think I won't be hearing from Yuri anytime soon, this is the reason why I was so against this whole dating thing in this dating app, I really got a lot to say about this, I am planning to delete that app later in the day.

I got out of my room then proceeded to do the things I normally do on days like this. When I got back, I saw that there was another notification from my phone, I wasn't sure if it was from my friends, I checked, I was quite happy to see that is was Yuri, I can't believe I was anticipating his message.

Yuri -
"Ohayooo!"

Me -
"Good morning to you too as well!"

Five minutes have passed, he still hasn't replied to my good morning, I mean, well, it's not like he has to, maybe he's just busy that's all, what do I expect to this kind of relationship? He's living in Manila for God's sake, and I am two hours away from that damned individual.

I locked my phone, frustrated by the fact that Yuri isn't even replying to my message, I think he found a more interesting girl than me to chat with, I get it, I'm strong on my own anyway.

Self love at its finest

"I really should delete this app." I said to myself, but somehow, I couldn't get the courage to delete it, this damn boy, I don't even know his real name though, maybe I'll wait a little bit more, I really don't want to ask his real name, but I do have his picture, I'll try and investigate him.
