Stans University, 3-B classroom


[2nd Week, Day 2]


I stared at her eyes as they widen after hearing the words I said.


"I like you"



"Really?" she softly saidーalmost impossible for me to hearーI nodded. "Yeah"


She burst into tears.


"Dont cry," I dont know why, but the sight of her crying pains me. "Im sorry"


She shook her head. "I should be the one saying sorry." I wiped her tears. She touched my hand, I felt my heart beat faster,ー I never knew she had this effect on me ー "I like you" I whispered.


" I―" she started.




But she disappeared.






"ELLIE!!!" I woke up, cold sweat dripping on my forehead. I dreamt of my confession. Im supposed to tell Ellie my feelings. What does my dream meant? Is it a bad premonition or sonething? I dont know. Maybe I shoouldnt confess. Maybe I should just move on. She already said that she grew tired of me. Yeah


Ill just move on. Ill just go back to the man I used to be.

Connor's Residence, Leo's Room


[2nd Week, Day 3]



I didnt come to school


I dont know why, I just dont feel like it. I dont know why, I dont feel like myself.


Im not the jerk I used to be. Im not the jerk who has a new girl everyday, now, I cant even text a single girl. I just kept thinking of Ellie. That dream. Ellie. Ellie. Ellie. Im not the guy I used to be. IVE EVEN ADMITTED THAT IM A JERK!!!!! THAT IS THE LAST THING I THOUGHT I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF!!!



*kriiiing kriiing* I hear my phone rang on my bedside table. I grabbed it and answer the call without lookinf at the caller's I.D


"Hello?"


<Hey>


"Who's this?" I glanced at the screen. An unregistered number.


<Its me> Even though she―yes, she is a girl, I can distinguish that much―said thay, I still dont know who she is.


"Uhh" I answered smartly. Im not in the mood for talking.


<The thing I said last time, Its all a lie> I suddenly knew who was on the other line.


"Ellie"


<Im sorry. I love you Leo Connor. I really do. I know you wont remember, so let me remind you. I first met Leo Connor at the back of the laboratory. I was crying back then, and when I saw Leo, I laughed cause―>



Flashback 6 months ago


"What are you laughing at?" I asked at the girl. She immediately shook her head. I noticed her tear streaked face.


"You were crying. " I stated. The girl broke into tears again



"I was heart broken"


~end of flash back~



"―I said I was heartbroken. You gave me love tips on how to handle heart breaks. You seemed like an expert there. You even said that I should just move on and find another love. A love that will not make my heart suffer. But you know what? My heart was already suffering. I wasnt crying because of those romantic heartbreaks. I was crying cause I have a fatal heart disease. It's not my time yet, I wont die as long as I have an operation. But Im scared because of my weak body, the doctors said that the operation have very little chance to be a success.. >


"Ellie" after all those things, all I can manage to say was her name. "I―"


<Its okay, I know I promised not to meddle with you anymore. but―>


"I like you." I said. Those three words escaped my lips as if they are the most normal things to say. It came out naturally


<What?> I hear her sob. <If youre only pitying me then―>


"Im not. I really do. Im sorry Im an idiot. I just realized this and―"*beeeeeep*


The line ended.

I stared at the phone. What should I do?



Tsk, Ellie, Im having a bad feeling.
