The rest of the week, Daniel was avoiding me. It was like what we did never actually happened. Or maybe it was a dream. I don't even know what to think anymore. Even if I want to forget, even if I shut my eyes .. He invades my thoughts .. my mind.
I am so screwed. I was never the type to let my emotions take over me. Heck, I've never been in love but wtih him, my walls keep on crashing down. All of my defenses is stripped down. My heart, well, is unguarded and left in the open.
It's my biggest dilemma right now. I'm so used to protecting my heart; afraid of getting hurt that I've shut out people trying to get in. I want to distance myself from him because this feeling scares me. But the worst thing is that, I'm more scared of losing him.
The irony is hella confusing. I know.
I don't want to admit it. Never would I acknowledge it but the pain is intolerable anymore. For the past few days that Daniel did not talk or even look at me was unbearable. That's when I finally admitted that the foolish me actually likes this guy.
Yeah, I have fallen for this bipolar guy who I met in the rain.
Most girls would be happy when liking someone. But when it's unrequited, I'd think otherwise. The feeling of having the person you like never like you back is just sad and lonely. It's like going out to watch a movie but you're all alone and there's no one to hold your hand.
I know deep inside my heart that I've always liked him. And it all started when I saw him on that gloomy day where the droplets of water is visible on his face. The moment he looked so vulnerable, he would break.
That moment I almost thought he was my sweetest downfall.
Liking someone is so damn hard.

I was walking when I noticed someone on the back of the school. I looked closely and to my surprise, it was Daniel. He seems troubled and terribly sleep deprived. I wanted to comfort him and ask him what's wrong but considering how he is acting towards me then I guess I shouldn't.
"What are you doing? Sneaking on someone isn't a good thing" He said. I was startled... While I was having a mental debate, he already noticed me. I must have looked creepy and stupid. Way to go, self..
"Uhh no. I was just about to leave." I said simply while avoiding direct contact with his eyes. I turned my back at him and started walking. But he pulled my hand
"Don't leave." Daniel held my hand tightly
He is so sly. One minute we're okay like really having the time of our lives then the next minute, he's gonna push me away again. Sucks being left behind. It hurts being given false hope. Don't look at him.. Don't fuckin' look at him.. I repeated on my head
"Naomi? Look at me" He demanded using his God knows seductive voice
I couldn't resist and I did the inevitable. Right then, I knew I'm screwed. I looked at him then he said the most shocking words ever
"Would you be my girlfriend?"
