Your Love is a Lie

Chapter 1

I love him. All I did was loving him, since God knows when. But the feelings isn't mutual. Yes! He love someone else. Someone whom everyone called Miss Perfect and that so called Miss Perfect, is not me and will never be me. But I should still be glad that somehow he spend some of his time with me - being his bestfriend.

Love happens for a reason, so does heart break.

I choose to love him more, even if I know that he cannot reciprocate the feelings I had for him. After all, I was just his little sister, a confidante and bestfriend - all rolled into one.

I, Louise Marie Dee Samonte, a typical teenage girl who wears braces, was secretly in love with the hottest and devastatingly handsome guy in the entire high school. Who also happened to be my childhood bestfriend, CARL.

It is really hard for me because sometimes it seems that he likes me and sometimes it seemed very obvious that we're just best friends.

CARL and I had been best of friends since we're kids, it was more than friendship but never in a romantic way. We are like siblings, a sister he doesn't have. We attended the same school and he was like my knight in shining armor every time I was bullied. He was my hero.

SATURDAY morning, my alarm went off. Its 9:15. So I got up immediately and make the bed. I walk to the bathroom to shower, soon after I went to my closet, put on my black lace underwear then top it with floral camisole and a pink cotton shorts. I blow dried my long layered hair then put it a messy beach bun.

I glanced through the mirror, when satisfied I ran downstairs to the living room. I saw CARL, flipping through channels in front of our smart tv.

"Morning." I greeted with glee. I sat down in one of the ottoman beside him as I take in his masculine scent of clearly expensive fragrance that mixed with his bath soap and shampoo.

"Is what I heard, true?"

"True what?" My brows immediately knitted in confusion. What the hell? Gusto kong magmura, kakagising ko lang and all at ito lang ang ibubungad niya sa akin. Asking me of thing I didn't even knew. "What did I do this time CARL?" I asked in a bored tone.

He looked at me intently, his hazel eyes are burning with anger. Napailing ito at ginulo ang buhok niya.

"Lou, are you not going to listen every word I say to you? Naintindihan mo ba ang mga sinasabi ko o binabalewala mo lang?" I just looked at him amused. Para akong kinikilig kapag ganitong umaakto siyang concern sa'kin. Feeling ko kasi, gusto din niya ko at ayaw lang niya itong aminin sa sarili niya dahil indenial lang siya. "Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mong bata ka, ano?" Kumunot ang noo ko, naiinis kasi ako kapag tinatawag o sinasabihan niya akong bata. "Ano kaya kung isusumbong kita sa mommy at daddy mo?"

"What??" Biglang namilog ang singkit kong mata sa huling sinabi nito. Paano na lang kapag pauuwiin ako at ilipat ng school, hindi ko na makakasama ang CARL mi amore ko. "Are you insane Clyde Antonio Rinaldo Lee? Papauwiin ako nila mommy sa Bukidnon kapag magsumbong ka, alam mo ba iyon? Echusero ka talaga." Naka pout kong turan.

"So, umayos ka! Ayokong makikitang may mga lalaking umaaligid sa'yo, lalong lalo na ang Eman na iyon. At h'wag kang magpapaligaw sa mga lalaki sa school." Biglang lumundag ang puso ko sa tuwa at kilig dahil sa sinabi niya. This is it, magtatapat na siya! O.M.G! I can't breathe in anticipation. "Kung ayaw mong isumbong kita kina tita Luisa at tito Marlo, umayos ka! Baka sabihin pa nila kinokonsenti kita at pinagtakpan sa mga pinagkakagawa mo dito." Para akong sinakluban ng langit, akala ko magtatapat na siya nang feelings niya for me. Iyon pala, afraid lang siyang madamay o mapagalitan ng parents ko.
