CHAPTER 2

Then the bell for our last subject rang. We proceed to our classrooms and act like that conversation did not exist. During our last period, I was still wondering about what James said even though I knew Christian’s crush. The next morning, I saw Christian talking to Ben Medina, a classmate and a best friend of mine. After they talked, Ben approached me,

Ben. Hey kim, Christian said that he wanted to talk to you after class.

Me. Ok

So, after our class Christian was waiting outside our room, I approach him.

Me. Hey Christian, Ben said you wanted to talk to me, what is it?

Christian. Remember what James said yesterday?

Me. Umm.. yeah, why?

Christian. Well.. umm..—

Suddenly May, my cousin, appeared

May. Hey couz!

Me. Hey! Ahh.. Christian this is May, my cousin. May this is Christian, my best friend.

Christian. Hey

May. A best friend? More like a Boyfriend to me.

Me. WHAT?! No!  we’re just friends!

May. Well.. that’s how I see it. Opps! Btw, I have something to show you, that’s why I’m here. Come on!

Me. Ok, bye for now Christian.

Well… that conversation didn’t end well. Still I was curious what Christian was going to say. The next day I got a text message from Christian saying “meet me later, outside the school”. So, after school, I went outside, there I saw him.

Me. Hey Christian!

Christian. I have something to ask you

Me. What is it?

Christian. Will you be mine?

Me. Haha, good joke Christian. I’ll say that to Joyce

Him. I’m not joking. I’m serious

Me. But I thought, you’re in love with Joyce?

Him. Not anymore, I had fun with you Kim, every time we hang out together  I’m always happy even though I have problems. I like the way you smile and before I knew it, I already had fallen for you.

Me. But..

Him. I already know your secret. Ben told me everything.

I was so speechles.

Him. So, is that a yes?

It took me a while to answer it.

Me. Yes

And that we became more than friends, But only our barkada knows is. Weeks past and we had a good relationship. But one day, I saw him with Joyce. I just look at them, but suddenly Joyce kissed him on the cheeks. I ran away, cried and pretend that I didn’t saw it. During our break, we hang out together with our barkada and I didn’t say anything. Christian thought I didn’t seen any of that. When they noticed that I was so silent, they ask.

Allysah. Are you ok kim?

Me. Ohh.. um.. yeah

Carmel. You seem sad

Me. What? No, it just must be your imagination

Christian. Any problem Kim?

Me. What do you think? –in a mad voice-

Christian. Huh?

Me. I saw you and Joyce together earlier! And Joyce kissed you!

I said while tears filled my eyes.

Christian. What?

Me. Don’t pretend that it didn’t happened Christian! It’s over!
