Phillip’s POV

Err, so Alex is now smiling at Charles in front of me. I still can’t even do anything. Why? ‘Coz Alex is not yet aware about how I feel.

I have to make my move.

Because as much as it’s hard to watch them smiling to each other, it’s even harder to bear the consequence of suppressing my feelings and keeping it within. Yes, it pains me to watch them together, but hiding the truth and pretending only doubles the pain.

It’s like being in a tightly covered jar, shouting all your pains on the top of your lungs but all you hear are echoes going back to you. It’s beyond bearable.

I can’t blame Charles though, I know he likes Alex. And with all honesty, I’ve got nothing against him. After all, I’ve got no right. I just wanted to let Alex know how I feel.  Besides, Charles is still just a suitor, and making my move will only put us in the same boat. Confessing my feelings won’t harm anybody, as Alex and Charles are still not a couple.

I just have to make my move.

“Hey Fi, natutulog ka bang nakadilat?” asked Nicole.

Ah, I remember now, kumakain pala kami ng recess ngayon, with Charles and Matt.

“Nah, just thinking.” I answered.

Alex and Charles are sitting side by side, while I’m in front of them. I have to pretend yet again that I’m okay. Dang it.

Kinuha ko yung spoon ko then kumuha ako sa kinakain ni Alex na macaroni soup, my way of hiding. My mask, my pretentions. Umangal siya, and I knew that Charles threw a glare against me. And as usual, Matt and Nicole are arguing again.
