I got you

The other girl

Today is my 18th birthday. My mom bought me a white dress that looks like a cake actually. I celebrated my birthday with a house party. I invited my friends in college, A.M, Stella, Joseph and my people from the Junior I.T Society, my relatives from my father and my mother side also came. My friends from high school also came but only a few of them. This is really embarrassing. My cousin is making my hair nice. Mello is my escort and he isn't here yet. Ghad I'm seriously fucking nervous. "Where are you? I'm here now downstairs." Mello messaged me. Finally, he is here. As soon as I go down, he is holding a 3 white roses. Everything feels in slow motion. I can even hear my heart beat because I'm so nervous. He looked at me and gave me the flowers, he looks so great tonight. "I'm so nervous," he whispered as he took my arms. We seated in the couch they designed, and I swear it feels like I'm the queen a prom. Everyone is taking picture of us. We dance in the middle and everyone is looking at us. "I'm so nervous too," I said.

I danced with my cousins, my friends and relatives and went back to my seat with Mello. I love singing so they asked me to sing. I sang "I will be" by Avril Lavigne. I don't have the best voice especially when I'm nervous. The next thing I know, Mello is standing next to me while I'm singing. Fuck! This is so embarrassing, seriously. This is more embarrassing that confessing to Mello. They are all taking pictures and video which is really gonna be the end of my life. He grabbed my waist and we dance after I sang. Man, feels like my heart will stop shortly. Not because of him, but because I'm so nervous. After the embarrassing hours of my life, finally, we are all drinking and having some party. I'm quite drunk already. I lean to Mello and I told him to remove the hair pins on my hair. After he removed it, he is brushing my hair. Robert was looking at me and Mello. He messaged me and say, "I know it was him the whole time." I didn't reply until we ended the party.

Mello has been busy for the past few months, but he still gets in touch by messaging me. Finally, this year, I'm transferring to the other campus where Potpot friends are. Robert and I are dating already. He has been taking good care of me. After a few weeks that we are dating, one of my professor named Francis told me something, "Are you dating that Robert guy? I think I saw him with a different lady the other night." Man, my face was like a poker face, no reaction and then smiled, "Hahaha, really? Well, I guess he is cheating then." I have no idea what to do. When I heard it, it hurts me a little bit, it hurts me because I feel that I'm too dumb not to ask this like "Hey, do you have any other girlfriend before we date?" Tonight, Robert sends me home and I confronted him about it.

"Do you need to say something to me? Just maybe you have?" I asked him sarcastically. Like as if I don't know what is going on.
"What do you mean?" he asked confused.
"Uhm, like if you have something important that you need to say?" I asked again. He looked at me and didn't say anything. "Do you have any other girlfriend than me that I deserve to know?"
He looked pale and shocked about my question, "I'm so sorry, I... I..." he held my hands and says, "It wasn't my intention to hurt you. I'm about to break-up with her."
Now he finally admitted it, I seriously feel disgusted and I walked out, this is unbelievable. He held my hand to stop me so he can explain further. I don't want to listen to him after what I heard, and I don't want to take this relationship seriously from now on.
"I will break-up with her. I don't want you to think that I'm not serious with you." He said.
"Isn't it what it looks right now?" I said firmly, "Let's just end this here. I'm just the new lady you knew. You can go back to her and pretend we never dated."
"No, I will fix this, I promise." he said but I walked out on him.

A few days later, I found out that Mello is dating someone from the campus but I just don't know who. I don't know what to say really. Anyway, I can't hold him from dating someone. But he could have just say that he doesn't like me. Why am I being so dramatic? I told him before that it is okay if he doesn't like me back. Man, I'm so complicated. I received a call from Sir Joey that he volunteer me to go to the other campus to make a charity work together with their Junior I.T Society team.

Topher was so excited to hear that I'm coming. As I came to their campus, Mello was there and he was so happy that I was there. I feel awkward with him now, especially after I knew about him dating someone. I just sat next to him as he was showing to me the pictures of his cousins. The next thing I knew, there was this lady named Regina, came to us and being annoying. I'm not bitter about it, but I think she is the lady. She keeps on talking to Mello in an annoying tune. Seriously, I'm not bitter to her, but she sounds really annoying. Like you know, if you have heard a lady being so flirty and talking like a baby to their boyfriends, yes, that's what she sounds like. Tell me it doesn't sound annoying?

We are about to go inside the car, Regina wants Mello to go first, I think that is to keep him away from me. I've been quiet since she came and interrupt us. Mello told her to go first, and as he goes inside the car and next is me. Ella and Topher are at the back of the car together with their friend. As we are on the way to the evacuation center for charity work, Regina is being clingy to Mello. What the fuck right? When girls are like this, it means they are intimidated with someone at the moment, which is seriously wrong. Topher and I went to the feeding section and having fun during the charity work. Ella is the one taking the pictures and all. I love that we are doing this, it feels good to help people. We collected some clothes and footwear to give away to these homeless people. I really tried my best not to mind Mello and Regina.

Finally, this day is done. I went back to school and Robert was waiting for me. Yes, I know, we are still together. I'm an idiot, right? Yes, I know that. Mello messaged me, "Take care! :*" but I did not respond to him. I resigned as the president of the organization. I want to focus on my dancing and volleyball. Robert and I joined dance troupe and I also joined volleyball team. There is a dance competition that is coming and I have to focus on this. One day, Potpot friends came to school to watch our practices, and of course, Mello is there. We barely have a communication now, since we both know that we are dating someone else. But I could still feel that we care for each other. We both keep on messaging each other "Good morning" and "Good night". If you are thinking if Robert is jealous, he wasn't actually.

After few months passed, I am studying now in the other campus, I see Potpot friends and Mello more often now. I love hanging out with them and eat the lunch.
