"I have loved you for a long time. You just can't see it. But I was such an unlucky person. I knew that."

"No, it's wrong. You can't expect me to love you back." Looking at the ceiling, words escaped from my mouth snappily.

"Alexis, are you okay??" It was too late for me to withdraw what I had spoken for Lisa's voice exploded like a bomb in every angle of my room. I completely forgot about her presence. She called me earlier to come over so we could do our homework together but it only appeared that I was having difficulty concentrating. I secretly scolded myself. I sighed. I still couldn't stop myself from reminiscing what had happened in the park with Glenn. I already did my best not to think about it but it seemed that my attention was only drawn to that matter.

Hesitantly, I gave her a glimpse.
I could tell that every corner of her face was seeking for an answer. Honestly, I didn't know how to tell her about Glenn's unexpected revelation. I felt like I was a terrible person for intervening their relationships and for being the third wheel. Well, I really did think that it was a sort of love triangle.

"Hey! You look odd. What's the matter??" She asked, peering at me.

"Nothing," I uttered, shaking my head.

"Are you sure?" She assured me, putting her pencil away and reached for my other hand that was on my lap. She squeezed it, letting me feel that I could trust her. That I could tell every single thing to her.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"I reassured her but she just shrugged, removing her hand from mine. I just watched her pick her pencil and she started writing again. But it didn't mean she believed me. I knew her so well. She may not have wanted to push me.

"Ahem. By the way, I watched a movie earlier. It was a total disaster coz the people there were a bunch of numpties." Her attention was caught by my words, making her stop from what she was doing.

Amusement showed on her beautiful face, wondering why I suddenly divert the subject. "Why do you think so?" Her tone was curious.

"Supposing you were the girl who fell in love with the guy who's in love with your best friend. How would you react to that situation?" I knew that it was stupid of me to invent such a story like this one but I didn't have a choice. I already started the story and there was no way to end it.

Her eyes never left me. I knew from that very moment that she was suspicious of me. I could tell by the way she stared at me. She was like observing every action that I made in order to get some answers. I was not sure but I was like being paranoid. And it made me crazy.
"Woah! That's pretty hard for me to answer." Then she paused for a minute before she continued speaking. "Well, if I were the girl and I couldn't see any chances I might have ended that foolishness. Why would I waste my time loving someone who couldn't love me the way I loved him? But of course, that is totally opposite from my story. Coz I can tell that Glenn loves me. I know that he has some feelings for you but that doesn't worry me coz I know the truth. We know the truth, Alexis. Right?" She acted like she knew everything she said. She was confident to say it.

Her response sent chills to every part of me. Her tone was like reminding me of my relationship with Glenn. "I'm sorry," I uttered in a shaky voice.

"Sorry for what?" She was perplexed. She might not have expected me to say that.

"Sorry for giving you a problem."
