After that day, Tu couldn't resist sharing a secret with Milk. She pulled her aside during a break and whispered, "Hey, just so you know, Love might be interested in you."
Milk raised an eyebrow, a curious smile playing on her lips. "Really?" she asked, glancing over at Love, who was chatting with View. Tu just nodded, her grin widening.
The day of the intramurals arrived, and the field buzzed with excitement. Love and View were there, cheering loudly for Prim and Tu, their voices mixing with the roars of the crowd. Love, however, had a secret cheer reserved for Milk. She watched Milk's every move, feeling a strange flutter of excitement whenever Milk made a great play.
Despite their best efforts, Prim, Tu, and Milk's team didn't win. As they walked off the field, their faces a mix of exhaustion and mild disappointment, Love and View greeted them with enthusiastic applause. "You guys were amazing!" Love exclaimed, her eyes meeting Milk's. She gave Milk a warm smile, hoping to convey how proud she was of her.
Milk returned the smile, her eyes sparkling. It was a small moment, but it felt significant to Love.
Later that evening, as Love settled down at home, she was startled by a notification on her phone. Milk had sent her a friend request on Facebook. Heart racing, she immediately opened their group chat and typed, "Who told Milk my Facebook?"
Tu's playful reply came almost instantly: "I did. 😉"
Love rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a smile. She accepted Milk's friend request, and almost immediately, a message popped up.
"🦖 Sorry, my dinosaur got lost."
Love laughed out loud, replying with a playful message. Their conversation flowed naturally, and before she knew it, hours had passed. They talked about everything and nothing, sharing stories, jokes, and a surprising amount of personal details.
The next morning, Love arrived at the school gate early, waiting for her friends. To her surprise, she saw Milk approaching. Milk lived close to the school, so she was also early. They smiled at each other, a comfortable silence settling between them as Milk passed by.
A few minutes later, Prim, Tu, and View arrived, their eyes twinkling with curiosity. "How did your conversation go last night?" Prim asked, nudging Love.
Love blushed but recounted the highlights of their chat. Her friends listened eagerly, their smiles growing wider.
"Watch us play volleyball later at dismissal?" Tu asked.
"Of course," Love replied, already looking forward to it.
The day passed quickly, and soon it was time for another volleyball practice. Love and View took their usual spots on the sidelines, cheering for their friends. This time, Milk joined them, sitting next to Love. They exchanged smiles, and for a while, simply enjoyed each other's company.
View, ever the documentarian, couldn't resist snapping a picture of the two of them. "You two look so cute together," she teased, earning a playful glare from Love.
As the practice continued, dark clouds began to gather, and soon, a sudden downpour forced everyone to pack up quickly. Love, Milk, and their friends hurried to the gate, laughing and splashing through the puddles.
"Take care, goodbye," Milk said softly to Love as they reached the gate.
"You too," Love replied, smiling at her.
When Love arrived home, she found a new message from Milk waiting for her.
"Are you home yet? Did you arrive safely?"
Love's heart warmed at the thoughtfulness. She quickly replied, assuring Milk that she was home safe. As she lay in bed that night, she couldn't help but smile, feeling a budding connection that she hoped would grow even stronger.
