Ephemeral Love

TWO

Before I could answer his question, Monika answered it quickly

"It's Will Jose's lang naman."

"Will Jose? That guy in the Soccer team?" asked Kenneth

"Uhm yeah. The one and only Will Jose. The soccer hottie Will Jose. The oh so pogi Will Jose." Sabi ni Monika

"Monika, control your hormones. Your ovaries might explode." Her twin warned her

Kenneth looked at me and said
"Give that back later. I have an extra shirt"

Uhm?? I already wore it?? No thanks??
I just gave him a "Wow. Really?" look.

Our teacher walked in and finally his eyes are off me.

After all of our classes, I was alone.

I went to our tambayan and saw Link sitting alone watching varsity players over the field while drinking a can of coke.

"Scarlet!" He waved at me.
I waved back and sat beside him.

"So how are you two doing?" I assumed he was talking about Kenneth so I said

"I don't really know what's happening"

"You do know he still loves you right?"

He still loves me? Then why would he do that horrible thing on me?

"But Scarlet" he continued
"You don't have to push yourself. I know you're hurt. It's your choice anyway and you're the only one who can choose."

I leaned my forehead on my knees
"It's just so hard, Link."

He messed up my hair saying "You'll get through it Scar."

His phone rang and excused himself.

I was left there sitting on the grass. I took my earphones out my bag and put it on. I drank my coffee enjoying the wind and shade of our tambayan.

It's been a little while so I decided to read a book. I'm burying myself into this deep deep dark abyss of happy endings and unrealistic expectations again.

I placed my coffee on my left side and got my book from my bag on the other side.

"Shit!" someone exclaimed near me. It was shirt guy a.k.a the soccer hottie(raw), Will
"I'm really sorry!" He continued and when our eyes met his grew bigger.

I looked back to get my coffee but the ground is already sipping it.
What the fuck?
