Kriiing! Kriiing!
"Class dismissed. Don't forget your homework! Submission is tomorrow."
Finally!
I thought cheerfully while I picked up my things before rushing out the door then to my locker
"Well would you look at that?" Oh no.
"Looks like someone's in a hurry. Again."
Irritated, I turn to the source of the familiar voice. Not you again
"Hey Kevin? Sorry but I don't have time for your chit chats right now." Putting my stuff inside the locker
"You just don't want the 'Hottest Guy' in the campus." Proudly pointing at himself. I rolled my eyes. "Give you advice on how to ask out a girl."
"Stop pestering me and who told you I needed advice. I don't need need your help." I irritatedly told him
"Yes you do. You can't even ask out this girl! And the girl I'm talking about is your childhoodfriend, bestfriend, first love aaand the reason why you are sooo excited when school ends." He said while leaning on the locker besides mine.
"I already told you." I sighed "I'm not gonna ask her out. Not yet. I think there's no need to rush things and besides...." Bam! I closed my locker "I don't even know if she will return my feelings."
"See? That's why you need my advice. I'm telling you Henry. Bring her to a romantic place, give her flowers, slicked back the blonde hair of yours, stare at her with sincerity, and tell her what you feel then bam! You guys are officially dating! and add the fact that you guys known each other like forever. It's impossible that she has no lingering feelings for you even for a tiny bit."
"I really have to give you credit for that wonderful advice but no thank you" I said. He frowned at me. "Sorry. I know I might be acting rude these days but please don't rush me into things. See ya." I turned my back on him then I walked away.
I kind feel guilty now. He's a nice guy but sometimes there are some things that only I should take care of
Sigh... But he's right. Maybe I should just... No. Not yet. Don't rush things. Or maybe I'm just too scared to do it? No. You're not. You're wise and you're doing the right thing.
I shook my head at the thought.
Lets just go...

"Thank you for coming. Have a great day!" She said as I went out of the coffee shop
So let's see... Appereance? hm presentable. Bought two White Chocolate Mocha? Check. Confidence? Not so much... I guess.
I see her everyday. Why am I nervous for?
Nevermind.
I breathe in and out
Okay... We're ready.
I drove my car to a park, not far from where I came.
It's the place where I met her.
The place where I knew this feelings.
The place that I'll never forget.
I got out of the car. I'm already here.
Fresh air.
The silence.
The calm and serene ambiance.
The memories. It so nostalgic.
I can still remember everything.
"Can I just stay here?" I pleaded
