Falling Treasures

KISSES POV

I never meant to hear their conversation. I was merely here reading when suddenly I heard people talking. I was about to leave when I heard them say their goodbyes. So I tried to act that I haven't heard anything when Edward walked in front of me. When I saw him glance my way, my heart skip a bit feeling nervous that he'll accuse me of eavesdropping. I tried to look up to him when accidentally our eyes met. As I felt the intense in his eyes I immediately looked down. I can't stand to look at those eyes. It makes me feel nervous whenever that happen. I saw him walk fast as he entered the school building. I released a sigh when he was totally out of my sight. I never thought I held my breath for that moment. He is the bestfriend of the guy I like, Marco. We were never that close. It's like we have different personality. To tell you the truth, he was the first guy I noticed. He is handsome and clever to state a fact but that's it. We never had the time to know each other.

"Kisses!" Marco called my name as he approached me.

"Hello!" I said as I gave him a smile.

"I was looking for you like forever and you're just there. It's a good thing Edward saw you here." He said as he sat beside me.

"Uh yeah. I saw him awhile ago." I said to him feeling a bit awkward. So he did look at me. I hope he doesn't think of me as someone who eavesdrop.

"Anyways, I have something to tell you." said excitedly. I can see that even his eyes is smiling.

"You look excited. This must be a good news." I said to him as I faced him.
"I have someone I like." He said happily. Right then, my heart started to beat fast.

"I see. Who's the lucky girl?" I asked still feeling nervous.

"I think you know her. It's Vivoree. She's something. Everytime I look at her, my heart starts to beat fast. Whenever I see her with a guy, I can't help but feel; cold towards her. I think I actually like her." He said to me.

That's how I feel for you. you idiot.

"Oh really? I'm so happy for you!" I said to him with a wide smile. I need to. he's one of my closest guy friend. I want to be happy for him.

"Thank you! God, I'm so happy that I can share this with you." He said as he hug me.

I hugged him back. At that moment, involuntarily, tears started to form in my eyes. I immediately wipe it. I don't want him to see me crying for my broken heart. I want him to see me support him in everything. I want him to know that I will be happy for him. Even if I feel pain, even though my heart feels like contracting, I want him to be happy.

"Hey you crying?" He said as he held my face. I can't stand looking at him this way. Not right now.

I look away and chuckled. "Sorry, It's just that I'm happy for you. Anyways, what did she tell you?"

"She said she like me too! That's why I can't contain it. That's why I immediately looked for you." He said happily.

"Well that's really a great news! I guess this would be the start." I said to him

"I don't know. I don't want to rush things. I just want to share it with you." He said as he held my hand.
Before I can anything, I saw my bestfriend, Marydale walking towards us.

"Oh I forgot! We have something to attend to." I said as I stood up and went beside Dale.

"Uh?" My bestfriend said as she looked at me. I pinched her at the back signaling her to just go with my plan.

"Oh yeah. Sorry for interupting." She said to Marco.

"Oh is that so. Okay. It's fine I already said what I want to say to her." Marco said.

"We have to go now. I'm happy for you." I said to him before I hug him.
"Thanks!" he said.

As soon as we entered the girls comfort room, Tears kept flowing in my face. Dale was shocked and tried to look if anyone is inside. When everything was clear, she hugged me.
"Why are you crying? You're scaring the hell out of me." She said as he tries to comfort me.

"I can't take it. I feel like I'm dying. I thought it's me. I thought he likes me." I said to her continuously.

"Huh? I don't understand. wait you like Marco?" She asked as that question dawned on her.

"We're the one who's close and yet he's inlove with someone else. I feel so hurt. I know that it's not his fault but gosh, I hate this." I said still crying.

"I wanted him to look at me. I wanted him to see that I'm just here. But I guess I can never be enough."

"Hey stop it. You're enough. It's just that he might not be the one for you. Stop crying okay? I'm just here." She said still hugging me.

"I know. Thank you. I don't know to whom I will run to." I said now trying to calm down.

"I never thought you'll really end up liking him. I thought you like someone else." She said

That got me curious. "Who do you think I like?"

"Edward. You can't seem to look at him straightly. I thought because you like him." she answered.

"At first yeah. but then Marco, he's the one I'm close to. He's the one who's nice to me. He's the one who is taking care of me." I said

"So that how you fell for him." She said. I nodded.

"Anyways, you start to freshen up because the class is about to start soon. I'll go first and wait for you at the room to save a seat." She said as I only nodded and gave her a hug.
As soon as she went out, I looked at myself at the mirror. My eyes are puffy. You can't ignore that I really cried. I guess I have to wash my face and to wait a bit before going out. I don' want to be selfish. I want what's best for him. I'll try to be happy. In the end, I know that this will subside. I just have to wait for it.

I went out and started to walk. Right then, Edward passed by and our eyes met. We stopped and my heart starts to beat fast. Before, coldness is what I can see in his eyes. But now, concern, that's what I can see.

"You okay Kisses?" He asked as he started to get close.

"Um, yeah. I'm fine." I said as I looked away. I know even after those minutes I spent inside, the evidence of my crying still obvious.

"Okay then. Just let me know if you need anything. The class will start soon. Let's go back." He said as I gave him a nod and a small smile.

He smiled and started to walk. Weird. At some point, I felt close to him just a little bit. Before, we never tried to talk casually. But now, here, trying to casually makes me feel comfortable yet awkward.
