Stories of People's Lives

Present: Crush

Now, we've all been there, we had crushes and stuff...

But here's the thing, Jolina is very, different.

There's like a day at our school and she said.

"I have a crush with that guy..."

"Who? Sam?"

"No!"

"Omar?"

"Definitely no!"

"Then who?"

"It's M-"

Then our teacher entered the room, she said...

"I'll just tell you later..."

When we had our recess...

"Hey Jols, who?"

"What who?"

"That M thing."

"Oh, it's Mac"

"Wait really?"

"Yeah!!!"

"Seriously, that mayabang, pasikat, and denying guy?"

"Yeah, he looks good, and his face, even though he has some red spots, it's ok."

(For those people who thinks that "Mac" is relevant to a true person, it's not, it's different)

Now, as far as I know, there's a friend of hers and I forgot his name, but she calls her JM.

"I've seen you and Mac hanging around always."

"Yeah, but JM, he's not liking him"

"What do you mean?"

"He's like always with you, he doesn't want to be with me when Mac is around"

And that's when I did my investigation, I've seen Mac attending our church's service. And I've talked to him when we met at our Sunday school.

"Hey Mac!"

"Hey"

"I've seen you with Jols"

"Oh, she's your friend?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, I've got no interest with her, I just want to be friends with her."

"Wait what, you just want to be friends with her? She has a crush on you, but, well..."

"To shay, you've said it too soon, well it's ok, it's just a crush, no big deal."

"Oh, can WE be friends?"

"Sure!"

"Let's invite JM too!"

"No prob..."

In the following day...

"Hey Jols!"

"Hey ----, did you do the homework on Values?"

"Yeah, I actually met Mac and-"

"Wait, you've seen Mac yesterday?"

"Yeah, we're also in the same class of sunday school"

"Oh really? Well that's a good thing, did say about the... thing?"

"Nope, I didn't, of course it's your secret. Why would I tell him about that?"

"Nothing, I'm just making sure..."

Throughout the day, I've noticed that Mac is not with Jolina that often, he's with me and JM. Jolina came up to me and dragged me out of the others.

"Did. You. Tell. Him?"

"No..."

"Then what's this day about?"

"What's so different? Your with Mac, and I'm alone?"

"Oh really, it's like that, you didn't noticed that one single detail?"

"What detail, it's the same, everything is the same!"

"Sure, but let's cut to the chase, it's so obvious that you told Mac about-"

Then Mac saw us both arguing and said...

"About what?"

"Did you know about anything, Mac?"

"No?"

"Did he told you anything?"

"Well he said that JM is jealous of me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Jols, I told him about that because it's so obvious!"

"Dang, I should've get too close to you."

"Is that the reason why you've been ignoring me this whole day?"

"Actually yes, I wanted you fix your issue with JM and have equal friendship with me, JM and him"

"Oh, sure, at least you don't know"

"I assume that THAT 'thing' would be very bad if I know about it, right?"

"Yes, and if I were you, I wouldn't even try to ask me what is it"

"So is this cool or what?"

"It's good, we should just go home. I'm done for today"

And that's how she handled her present crush, mind you, PRESENT! So there's a different case back in the day, I'll tell you later on.
