It’s been almost a month since we’ve been together. I was busy scanning my phone when a message appeared
Kris: let’s break up
Me: what? You’re kidding right?
Kris: no, I’m not
Me: why?
Kris: I’m bored with you
Me: no, please. Don’t do this
I was leaning on the lockers when Kris suddenly comes to me and says
“we’re through, okay?” his voice was empty and flat
“why?” I said coldly
“I’m dating another girl”
“okay” was all I said and headed for the door to have my recess. I hanged out with Monica since I didn’t have anyone to be with and I hate being alone.
“why are you not with Kris?” she asks
“we broke up” I said and drank my soda
After recess, we were asked to do an impromptu skit. The first group were a bunch of girls and Kris. And the skit starts
Girl 1: did you know Kris broke up with his girlfriend?
Okay. That was below the belt.
Girl 2: yeah, I’ve heard.
Girl 3: I heard the girl pleaded
Please, stop.
Girl 1: that was such a blow for her.
Girl 2: she deserved it.
Girl 3: Kris is mine
Kris: I’m not yours, okay? And I don’t know what to feel actually. I don’t why I broke up with her.
Girl 2: are you really seeing another girl?
Kris: no.
Girl 1: then why did you break up with her?
Kris: I don’t know
The teacher noticed that I was in the verge of tears
“okay guys, you did great” he said and the people on stage went down
Are they really torturing me?
Next day, the class was presenting films. One of the other groups decided to show a clip. I wanted to get out of the room because I knew it was Kris’ cut of the clip. The teacher didn’t allow me to go out so I went back to my seat. The clip started playing
Kris was sitting on a chair he was talking to the person holding the camera
“so, what do you think?” the camera man asks
A girl suddenly enters the scene and sits on Kris’ lap. Kris slowly unbuttons the uniform the girl was wearing, he was seductively looking at her. I wanted to cry and yell to stop the clip from playing. Luckily, the teacher suddenly turns off the projector and Monica shields my eyes. I hold on to Monica and started to shiver. My classmates start to whisper to one another.
Kris and I didn’t talk to each other for a week. We avoided each other as much as possible. I was now seated on the front row while he was at the farthest corner of the room. I felt eyes staring at me, I turned around and saw Kris. His eyes were red and puffy and he kept his head low. My heart ached seeing him like that. It was almost lunch break when I got a tap on my shoulder
“can we talk?” it was Kris
“okay” I said coldly
“I’m sorry” he took my hand
“it’s okay” I wanted to cry. I really missed him
We moved to the back of the class, where I sat on one of the chairs. He pulled one out and placed it in front of me. He sat there.
“will you give us a chance?” I was the first one to make a move
“no.” Kris said, not looking at me
I think I just heard my heart break into pieces. He suddenly stood up and kneeled in front of me
“because, I should be the one asking you that question.” He took my hand into his and kissed it
“will you give me another chance?” he said
“yes.” I whispered. I was already crying
“I love you” he whispered
I leaned in and said “I love you too”
We were now walking around school. It was already 5:30, it was starting to get dark. We were at the middle of the basketball court. He suddenly held my hand to stop me from walking. I slowly faced him
“is there something wrong?” I asked confused
“can I do something?” he shyly asked
“of course” I smiled
“can I kiss you?”
“okay” I was dumbfounded
He slowly leaned in and titled his head slightly. I closed my eyes and waited for his lips to touch mine. I felt his lips, I suddenly opened my eyes but closed it again.
My very first kiss.
Kris pulled away and placed his forehead to mine
“I love you” he said smiling
“I love you too”
