Falling Treasures

KISSES POV

New day, more interactions. Why is that I feel so not myself right now. Oh right, the person I like, already like someone else. At the end game, I will always be the one who'll be left out. Someone who'll be a second option.

"No. I need a positive morning for today." I said to myself as I gave a sigh and closed my eyes.

As I relax, I heard a knock on my door and my mom saying that I need to get ready because breakfast is ready. After a few moments, I stood up and startd to get ready to school. I guess wearing a chiffon white blouse and pairing it with ripped jeans would be my outfit today. Around 7am when I finished my morning routine when I decided to come downstairs.

"Hey there sweetie! Good Morning." My mom said as she hugged me and I returned it back as well.

"I'm all good. Good Morning Mom and Dad." I said and kissed their cheeks.
"Good Morning! Come and sit. You have to eat a lot it's going to be a long day sweetie." My Dad said as I took a sit opposite with him.

"I know. I hope I'll survive today." I whispered but I think my Dad heard me.

"What is that sweetie?"

"Oh nothing Dad. Let's eat!" I said as I clapped my hands and smiled.

"You never change when it comes to food. You'll always get excited." My mom said with a smile.

"Mooooooooooom. Let's just eat." I whine and  laugh.

We talked happily while we eat. This is what makes me happy and contented, my family. We maybe small but the love we have for each other is so big that we always have each other's back. You see, I have a sister but sadly, she died when I was a little girl. I love her so much. She's what I was praying for. A playmate. But I guess it's not in God's plan. I was in a coma when she got sick. Even though I was asleep the whole time, I know what my parents went through. To have us two in a critical stage is surely difficult for them. A reason why I'm so lucky to have them. They're my strength. They are the reason why I always keep the positivity in me and the reason why I always choose fight.

"You be careful and enjoy your day okay?" My dad said as he gave me my bag.

"Yes Dad." I said and kissed his cheek.

"Oh yeah, Sweetie, I don't think The driver can pick you up at your dismissal." My mom worries.

"It's fine. I could ask Marco or Dale to drop me off later." I assured her.

"Okay. Just text us when you get home later okay?" My mom said as I gave her a nod and hug her.

"Bye sweetie!" My mom and Dad waved as the car already took off.
As soon as I arrived the campus, Marco was already waiting at the front gate. I was a bit curious why since we didn't have any agreement to meet up.

"Finally! I thought you're about to run late." Marco complained as he walked up to me as I went out the car.

"Thanks!" I said to ur driver before I faced him.

"I don't think we don't have any agreement to meet this early. So what's up?"

He smiled, and from that smile I already knew what's up. And I think this would break my heart.

"You see, about this saturday, can we move it to another date? I asked Vivoree for a date and she said yes. The problem is, It's on saturday and I promised that I'll help you to go shopping for the upcoming dance." He said looking apologetically. All smile gone. That hurts. It's not that I will limit him just for me but the point is he promised.

"Hey, Kisses, I'm sorry. But if you'll say no, I won't go. I don't want to see you not smiling." He said as he pulled me closer but I push him a bit just to talk to him.

"It's okay. We have a lot of time to go shopping again. I'll go with the original plan but the only thing that would change is that you'll go on you date. I'll be fine. I could ask Dale to accompany me." I said with a smile to assure him that it really is fine.

"Thank you so much! :) I promise that I'll make it up to you next time." He said as he kissed my cheek. Students passing by can't help but look. It's natural for Marco to be sweet I get that. But it just makes me fall more to him.

"We should go. the class is about to start." I said to him and he gave me a nod.

As we started to walk, we saw Edward at the corridor as he was talking to Heaven. I wonder what they are talking about. Is it about the time in the cafeteria or about the talk they had on the school garden? Oh well, I should stop prying. We entered the class and took our seat. Marco and I are seatmates since Dale has a different schedule with this subject. After a few minutes, Edward entered the room and took the seat behind Marco quietly. I can't help but be concern after yesterday. I now know why he said that. I think he knows, he knows that I like Marco. I was embarassed at first but in the end I appreciate how he still kept it a secret and for being concern.

"You okay?" I asked as I tried to reach his arm. He looked at me. Right there, I looked away. I really can't help to look at him that long.

"I'm fine thank you." He said as he smiled. A smile is enough for now I guess.
