Chapter 3: Reminiscing

(A/N: You might want to play the song 'Jealous' by Nina. It will boost the mood, promise!)

--Kiara--

As soon as I got into my car, I inhaled the air around me sharply, letting it linger inside me a little longer before harshly exhaling them out.

As if the gates of my eyes have been opened, tears came rushing and racing with each other across my cheeks. I nearly patted my own back to congratulate myself, for I did a great job pretending to be okay in front of Nathan.

Now all I want is for this feeling to explode!

It hurts so much that I can't even breathe. I smiled bitterly, not fighting my emotions anymore.

My first love. . . my undying unrequited love. . .

Pieces of my memories flashes through my head at the same time my eyes pour out the tears.

I've been in love with Nathan since we were 12 years old. It was a beautiful beginning for me and I was never been that happy.

Flashback:

5 years ago. . .

It was a sunny day. I was wearing a white floral dress with my feet bare from any cover. I heard Andrew screaming my name as he ran towards my direction.

"Kiaaaaa!!! Look out!" Andrew has his eyes trained past me when I glanced at him over my shoulders. As he point his finger on something ahead of me, I snapped my head back the front, just to see Nathan coming my way running.

"Aaaaahhh!!!" I screamed and not able to move. I shut my eyes, really hard. Then someone hugged me and we both dropped to the grassy ground.

I opened my eyes, savoring the hearty laughter from my friend who's arms are around my waist, his head bobbing up and down.

'Nathan'

I blinked several times since this is the first time I am seeing him this close, his emerald green eyes are sparkling. I can feel my face burning, just by looking at him.

He is sooo pretty!

We both stood up still sharing laughter until it died down then he ran off to chase Piwie.

tug-dug.tug-dug

I placed my hands over my chest. I felt so much alive. I found myself grinning from ear to ear.

"Kiaraaaaaa! Whatya waiting for???" I heard Nathan shout, waving his hands at me.

My smile grew wider and ran towards my friends.

End of Flashback

I just felt it inside me and boom! I knew I'm in deep trouble. And from then and there, I knew it was what they call, 'love'.

••••

I smiled bitterly as it was a very nice memory. Why would I never got the chance to confess? What am I afraid of.?

Flashback: 2 years ago. . .

"Are you sure about this Kia?" I can see how Piwie is worried about me. Who wouldn't? Here I am standing near the school's backdoor waiting for our other guy bestfriend to come out and confess to him! I'm waaaaay freaking out inside! But I can't just stand here and look from afar.

It has been 3 years since I realized that I am in love with him and from that very day until now, I still feel the same or better yet, I got worse.
