~I'm Afraid To Fall 3~

Karl P.O.V

"You won't believe this dude.. Coleen--"

My eyes widened and rushed straight to my laptop..

"You open my facebook account again ?!!" I said pushing him off our center table.. He fell of course, and he's hurt.

"What is your problem?! I am your bestfriend and I have the right to be informed about my dude's life.."

"Yeah right.. Heard the thing called privacy ??" I was sitting here in front of my laptop and trying to find out what is it Coleen said that made Carl act like that..

"Whatever.. As I was saying Coleen just confessed something. Check it out !!" He motioned toward the screen as telling me to really check it out ..

Inlove?? With me?? This can't be .. I thought to myself ..

Tapping my back, Carl reacted.. "I know, I know it's kind of sudden and shocking .. But man!! You cannot just stare at the screen! Say something it's your chance dude!! "

Wait .. My brain stopped . Functioning right now.. My fingers typing unconsciously..

To Coleen,
I'm sorry Coleen .. It's not what you think. I just don't like you ..

"W-wait! Karl what are you--"

Enter.

"--nooooooooooo!!!!"

Your chat message wasn't sent because Coleen is offline.

"Whew ! that was close!! " Carl stared like there was a big chunk removed from his throat..

He stared at me with that look in his eyes, of trying to kill me.. "What?"

"What? You're asking me what?!" He grabbed me in the neck choking me..

"Are you out of your mind Karl Daniel Yap ?!! "

"No" I said playing innocent

"No? Then what are you? A born stupid? Come on man! "

"What? Is there a problem with what I just did ??"

He released a sigh, obviously dismayed and irritated .. "Okay, I understand that you're stressed, so allow me to encode everything on your mind that needs to be upgraded. Ready ?"

"Yeah go ahead ." I'm not even interested, but she's my bestfriend, I have no choice.

"That girl is Coleen Gazelle .. We met her when we're in kindergarten and she's always our classmate. Since then until last school year.. And ever since that day--"

"Shut up. I know that already!" I exclaimed not wanting to hear that sentence .

"You've always like her .. And just a few minutes, she told you that she loves you . And here you are destroying everything! " He said with a raised tone.

"I'm not destroying everything, Okayy.. It's just that I--"

"Don't want to be in a serious relationship ?! Please dude stop being coward. Not just because your parents--"

A sudden feeling of irritation and anger stirred up my heart. "Don't ever bring that thing anymore!" I stood up and headed to my room.,

As I close thee door, I heard Carl shouting. "You can run all you want but it'll never get you somewhere. I'm leaving"

Sigh. Yea, maybe he's right.. But no matter how far I run, it keeps haunting me.. I lay down my bed and covered my face with my hands.. Deep breath..
