The Black Crow

After the midterm. We became so close to each other.

I, Jasmin, Matt, Janeth and Carol. Stayed together, and fought all struggles that have come to our way. We talked about our dreams, wishes and ambitions and how we would meet in the future in our suits and cars...

We didn't realize that there are only three months left before our graduation and one month before JS promenade. Everyone was so excited to find a date even though 3 weeks prior before the prom.

I don't know how to find a date. There's only one girl in my mind and that is Jasmin. I want to take her to the prom. But I don't know how to ask her. I don't know what I felt toward her but I really like her as a friend and I know that my heart desires more than a friend. I can't ruin our relationship. Jasmin never shown me any hint that she liked me too more than as a friend.

I want to ask her but Janeth...

"Can I be your date to the prom?" She's also a friend so I don't think that would be bad and also to cover-up my feelings. I said yes.

I was surprised with Jasmin reaction.

"Why did you accept it? I mean there's a lot of girls out there you can ask for the prom, why her? You know she liked you, she's our friend..." She was angry. I don't know the reason but I felt glad. I felt glad she sounded jealous.

"You could ask Matt." I told her.

"What?" She glared at me. I swore I can see both disappointment and loneliness in her eyes. I knew she doesn't want to ask him because their cousins and Matt wouldn't do that too. Because he already got a date.

"I'm sorry" I apologized.

"Apology accepted." She said with a heavy heart. She turned around and left me in the hallway where we were talking. I bet she was planning to ask me because she dragged me there alone.

After that day, Jasmin changed, she don't talk to me. Not only me who noticed it, the three of them asked me about it too.

One day...

"You're jealous, Oh my god your jealous..." I heard from the other side of the corridors. Its Janeth. The school corridors were silent because it's home time. 5:32 pm. I closed my locker and went to the voice where it's coming from.

"You like him more than a friend, oh my god! You should have told me!" Janeth said in disbelief. I froze in my state. The girl Janeth was talking to was Jasmin. They both turned to look at my way. Jasmin looked down and ran away. I ran after her...

The rain was pouring hard but Jasmin ran through it. I ran and followed her until I caught her. I held her shoulder.

"Tell me about that!" I demanded. "Tell me why are you running away? Why?!" We're now soaking wet with the rain.

She cried. "Oh my god...I'm so sorry..." The rain was pouring very hard.

"Sorry for what?!" I demanded impatiently.

"I liked you! I mean, more than a friend, I've fallen for you..." She confessed. Her hands were shaking tremendously as I reached for it. I held it.

"Its okay..." I pulled her and brought her into my arms. She cried. We stayed for a while. I pulled out.

"We should cover." I said.

She held my left arm.

"I thought you're going to get angry, you know, we're friends and you don't--" I stopped her trembling lips by brushing it with mine. I kissed her passionately.

"Martin was a guy, you are different, and you are special to me." I kissed her again. I finally got to feel those sweet kissable lips I longed for a long time.

"We need to cover..." I took her hand and ran.
