PROJECT: Meet Up

Next day, after that puzzling event in my life, I still couldn't figure out what the heck was going on yesterday, about Ley, and of course what boggled my mind most was the fact that Ley said that she'd want me to meet someone dear to her today, and that alone makes me so nervous. Though I did kind of felt down about the confession not happening, well I knew it all along that it was a near to zero chance of possibility of her confessing to me.

I let out a heavy sigh and just went inside the room, there were only a few people inside the room and I noticed that bag of Ley on her chair but I couldn't find her anywhere in the classroom nor in front of our corridor, suddenly someone approached, it was one of our classmate but I don't very well know his name, but he gave me a note, and of course if its notes we're talking about there was only one person who'd send me one, I opened up the note and read

"Meet me at the mango tree"

There was no mistaking it where we would meet, you might think that there was a lot of mango tree in the campus, but truth be told there were only two and there was only one mango tree that stood out amongst them and that was the center mango tree, I feel like that's where we will be meeting, and so I put my bag on my chair and walked towards the door, when suddenly I bumped into Leo

Leo: heeey good morning bro, what's the rush? You look like you're in a hurry
Me: Ah no, not really just going to the mango tree
Leo: to meet up?
Me: yes to meet- wait how did you know that I was meeting up with someone
Leo: I bumped into Ley at the mango tree, she was asking if you were here and only to find out that you're already on your way
Me: Leo I need your help
Leo: hm?

And so I asked Leo for us to sit down for a while, I told him everything that has happened yesterday about Nix and especially about Ley

Leo: Dude I think she likes you
Me: Who Nix?
Leo: Idiot! *punches me lightly* not Nix but Ley
Me: (I blushed) that can't be true! There is no way she's going to like me
Leo: Well if she doesn't have a crush on you then she wouldn't get jealous with Nix who now Ley thinks is her rival
Me: Stop saying nonsense bro jeez

I was sort of happy, if that were the case, if that were definitely true that Ley likes me, then I'd confess to her, but for now there is no enough proof in order for me to rely on that Ley really likes me, and so I kept it all to myself for a while, I thanked Leo for giving me some info and he headed inside the classroom while on the other hand I began feeling nervous, again

What is going to happen now? Who is this person she speaks of? And so on and so forth

Questions revolved around my head, and now I'm having second thoughts as to if I'm going to the mango tree or not, and so the naturally occurring phenomenon appears, either I go to the mango tree and meet up with Ley or I go back to the classroom and regret it me entire life. I chose to go to the mango tree, because I think that's the right thing to do, and I know in myself that even without this power of absolute choice, I'll still go out of my way and meet up with Ley

And so I started walking towards the mango tree, every step was resulted to heavy breathing due to nervousness and pressure, my knees shook stronger and stronger as I got nearer to the mango tree, I was sweating and stuff, I feel weak at some point amidst my walk, and when I was about to reach the mango tree, someone tapped my shoulder from behind, of course I got startled and loaded up my defense reflexes I was on a fighting stance, I lowered my stance when I knew that it was Nix who tapped my shoulder, she waved at me and asked "How did the talk go yesterday?"

Suddenly a surge of flashback came rushing down to me, and the word jealousy kept on popping in my head, I know that I shouldn't tell Nix about what had happened yesterday, and so I just replied it was fine, somehow Nix just accepted my reply and went on to the room

On the other hand I stood there frozen in the exact area where I stopped for the last five minutes ago where I stopped and talked with Nix, I knew that there was nothing going to happen if I just stood frozen, and so I mustered everything, every courage energy and strength in order to face Ley, Slowly I was near the mango tree near enough to touch the tree, as soon as I arrived at the mango tree, I hear Ley's voice, she was talking with someone, oh how I prayed that whoever is she with that moment please let it not be a boy

However not everything goes as planned, and I heard a boy's voice that was conversing with Ley, the sudden remembrance of my past talk with Leo echoed in my head "you'll regret it if someone snatches Ley first", I was kind of hurt and I already assumed that the one she was talking to right now, was the special person she wanted me to meet, in other words, her boyfriend

I slowly showed myself to Ley as she talked with this guy, "Heeeey! You're here" Shouted Ley I went near Ley and whispered

Me: Ley, is this your person who is dear to you?
Ley: (looks at the guy behind her and laughs)
Me: What did I say something funny?
Ley: Sorry sorry, Lee you have it all wrong I think, that guy isn't the person dearest to me in school, he is only a friend and we go way back since our elementary years

To be honest I don't know if I should be happy or sad because of that fact, but anyways I think I can rest assure on her word for now, believing that there is no significant connection with that guy and Ley

Ley sat back down beside the guy, I looked at them with irritation, I am irritated, but I guess it's more on frustration, frustrated because that guy might be her lover, boyfriend, or someone who likes her as well and is courting her now

I don't know but I feel irritated like really. It sparked in my head, I had to ask myself "Is this jealousy?" as I stood there watching them so happy I felt uncomfortable, Ley waved at me signaling me to come closer

Even though I don't want to get closer to that guy, because of Ley I held out, when I got close enough she introduced me to this guy

Ley: Lee meet Paul Crotez, Paul meet Lee Alsief

And of course just like any other meet ups, we shook hands, but I was filled with bitterness in shaking that guy's hand but still I did it so that there would be no commotion of some sort in the middle of the campus, "Sit" Ley ordered be that I sit next to her, displayed disobedience but she never stopped saying the word "sit" I know she was pertaining to me, and so I gave in to her and sat next to her, I asked again "Is this someone dear to you in school"

Ley: Again I'll tell you over and over again, there is nothing between me and him Lee
Me: If you say so
Ley: It could be?! That you're jealous at Paul, Lee?

Oh that one made me snap, not snap as in angry but I was caught off guard and that was a direct attack to me, I didn't know what to say about me being jealous, but Ley just laughed it off and told me it was a joke, knowing that she was only toying with me about Paul I somehow got a little breather, as the 3 of us sat there, there was nothing really much goin on in the campus, I was sleepy like really, but my sleepy bubble burst when Ley said "She's here"

Wait she? Is this person a girl?
