My heart is throbbing against the cage of my chest. I can feel my pulse pounding in my temples. I clenched my fists tightly as I bit my lower lip.
"I can do this." I whispered to myself a hundred times over. I continued walking at the hallway. Some would greet me but I wouldn't dare greeting them back.
I continued making my way cautiously, not minding other people.
The hallway halted and the garden appeared.
From there, I saw my friend. He was just wearing a blue polo shirt and black pants, yet I still find him captivating. Like he's using some kind of witchcraft on me or something.
"Hey" He greeted with a smile the moment he saw me. I greeted him too, trying my best not to stutter.
He's smiling at me from ear to ear. "So, what do want to talk about?" He asked and let out a chuckle which sent shivers down to my spine.
I feel like my eyes were already drawn to him. I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes.
I became uneasy all of a sudden.
"I like you." I said softly.
His eyes flew wide open.
For a moment, he just stared at me, trying to read my expression. His reaction made my heart thumped more crazily.
I smiled bitterly when I saw uncertainty in his eyes.
Five seconds passed, and then ten, and then twenty.
"April Fools!"
I chuckled and then let out a laugh before walking away from him. His expression changed then laugh with me after.
"Yah, don't joke with me like that!" He shouted while grinning.
I turned my gaze on his direction before making a face. He laughed with my reaction as he shook his head.
After that, I turned around from him, away from everything else.
'April Fools' The phrase to use after making a prank or a joke.
But who am I kidding?
Today is the day.
If you confess and he accepts then great. But if not, just say 'April Fools.'
