Secretly in love

2. Colder then Ice

Ice 💙: Im already here summy, where are u?

There it is again, this pain inside my chest and what the heck! she even sent me a picture of her—Of why am I doing this to myself? Of why I'm enduring watching my best friend and friend setting up in matchmaking.

Me: just go inside the cafe 😊

I rolled back to my bed and stared her sent selfie.

Ice 💙: Summer.

And I knew that she's already with Jaden. It was a setup date—I setup their date. Great. Way more to torture yourself Summer.

Me: welcome in advance 🥰 I really hope you have a fun date night 💙 my way of saying sorry a while ago boss 🫡 have fun!

I place down my phone in my chest then shutting close my eyes, letting the pain out. Feeling every bits of it.

"Shit" I get up from the bed, I need something, some distraction or else my mind will revolve on what's happening in them.

Me: netflix and beer?

I sent to Veronica but already grabbing my jacket on the way.

Vero: brokenhearted as always. Pick me!

I drove and pick Veronica in her place as we decided to hangout to our usual place, sea side.

"You picked me in the middle of the night just to watched you stalking to Ice and Jaden socmed?"

I place down my phone and drained the whole can "Just....checking" but there's none.

Funny thing is, they're both very private in terms of life. Especially Ice, there is literally no post in her Socmed. Literally.

And now I'm dying to know what's happening?

"Give me your phone" Vero didn't ask, she already took it anyways and putting it inside her jacket pocket "now let's enjoy and take a picture to let her see that you are okay"

————————————-

"Finally! Hello long weekend, so, what is the plan?—-earth to Summer?" I look at Veronica, she sighed after figuring that I was too busy staring at my phone screen "what is it again?"

I lightly shake my head "Ice again?" She added but Vero already knows it.

My shoulder slumped down while having this thoughts "she's not replying to my messages....I mean, she's probably busy as usual or maybe Jaden and her are already in talking stage and who am I to squeeze in right?" I tried to smile it off but immediately deflated.

"Summer, maybe it's good" I frowned to what she's trying to say "maybe you will loose your feelings when you see them? Maybe it's like a sign to move on?" Vero wrapped her arms around my shoulder before turning me around "Look at your surroundings, there's a lot to do other than making Ice your world. Find someone, get to know someone. How about Gretchen? She's gay too"

We both look to Gretchen talking flirty to girls "she's known as a player, she probably slept half of University population"

"At least she's well experienced" I glared Vero "Fine, but how about—Beatrice?" Now we're looking to Beatrice, busily vlogging.

"She's literally popular with a lot of followers and why on hell she'll notice me? And also, she's dating Cici, a model" I say, pressing the last word to Veronica.

She sighed then turn around "okay, do you like sporty? Oh never mind, you know nothing but you can check out Gigi from woman basketball team...see? You're invisibly nodding"

Well, Gigi is really charismatic, to add more, she is decent, no history of playing around girl skirt.

"What about Gigi?" Both of our shoulder jolted up and down by Ice suddenness standing behind us.

And there's where my heartbeat accelerates.

"Nothing?" I immediately respond "how are you? How's the date?" Of course I'm obliged to smile.

"Can you at least give me a heads up before setting me to a date?" Ice coldly stated.

I pressed my lip into thin line and felt Veronica tightening her arms around my shoulder "sorry. Of course, you should be prepared but no matter what you wear or do, it doesn't matter Ice, you're absolutely stunning" oh shit. What did I just said? What the hell is wrong with you Summer??

And thank God someone is calling in her phone and now we're watching her stepping away for distance.

"That is so gay" Veronica mutters but receives a light jab in her ribs from me for her to shut it off.
