Almost

Second year

As Allistair embarked on his second year high school journey, things escalated. His arrogance gradually decreased. He met a lot of new friends, he started being friendly, and he became friends with Dexther. One time, there's this group activity on their first day of school which has a purpose of getting to know each other. In Allistair's group, he had Jean who was assigned as their group leader. Jean's father and Allistair's were like Bobbsey twins back in college. And so Allistair and Jean's friendship began.

And as time goes by, they meet Selina, Jaylord, Carl, and Mark. Allistair's circle of friends are starting to shape like an oblong because of its expanding size. Then suddenly, Mark fell in love with a girl named Denielle. Allistair wanted Mark and Denielle to end up being together due to the fact that they're like distant stars that lack line to draw just to form a constellation. Allistair and Mark had a conversation.

"I saw you looking at Denielle, I know what that means. I mean the glittery stare? Your smile? Your creepy ass staring at her??"

"Yeah, she's cute" Mark replied

So I smiled at him and said "You know, you two are perfect for each other, why don't you take a step?"

But I know for myself that Denielle had the same feelings as Mark has at that moment. I just wanna spoil their story and just to make things shimmer more interestingly

And then I met Shylie, Denielle's confidant/ bff/ her 911. I made a wish hoping I can get close to her just to make a bridge on the two separate creeks so the two can meet each other in the middle.

So I tried to shoot my shot to talk to her like we share closeness with each other. At that time, I knew for myself that making friends with someone isn't really my cup of tea. But still, I tried to and amazingly enough, I conquered what impedes my step becoming and having awesome personality I have, it only took courage to make it work. I guess cowardice was never written in my genes HA HA HA!

I approached her as friendly as I can be in my whole damn life.

And I started our conversation like "My friend has a crush on Denielle"

And I swear to God, every atom of my body tingled. A feeling I never felt before even in street fights I dealt with. It's like a fireworks inside you.

But as soon as Shylie replied to me, the fire blazing inside me suddenly extinguished like a molten hot ball dipped in dry ice.

And then~

"Really? Omg! I think they should work out" Shylie said

Then I just smiled like I'm a dog with 70 teeth and 3 tails. I never smiled that wide.

"You do? Because I saw Mark looking at her many times. But that's not just a normal look. It's a stare that can perforate a glass" I said to her with a grin off my face.

" Yeah, they should workout but the problem is, is Denielle has the same feeling that Mark has?" Shylie replied with one eyebrow raised.

So I said " If there's a will there's a way. If they can plant well on their farm, all the ripe fruit will fall off the tree right at their feet" with a wink

My hands are starting to shake as she was giving me the stare like she's reading a book.

And after a few seconds~

I was mesmerized with her reply as she said " I guess your answers during recitations tells another story of who you really are. You are more eloquent, witty, poetic and more of a creep as you do the wink wink plus I'm not sure if you're ethical enough to call but it feels like you'd be a great friend of mine if ever you'll lobby on my behalf. Don't need to tell yours, Shylie's the name"
