Chapt5- I need to know the truth

I'm here at the school's gymnasium. Waiting for John to come. I need to know the truth from him. Not that I am trusting Rick, just curios about it.

"John!" I shouted as i saw him walk. And now what?! May tenga ba siya? My gosh. "John!!!!!!" I shouted as hard as I can. He looked at me then he walked again.

I ran towards him as fast as I can. When I reached him...

"Is it true that you like me? You know. I'm just curios." When i said the word 'lik' he looked into my eyes and he walks towards me... And now I'm scared. Everytime I step backwards, he steps forward.... Until.....

And now, I'm locked in his arms. Why? I don't know. When we heard some noise in the court... We ran away and now we're here in the stock room of the court and he is hugging me with a reason that I don't know.

Now, I'm looking at him and I am shocked because he is also looking at me. "What did you asked a while ago?"

"If I-.... If yo-... Uhm. Wait. If you don't mind to please give some space for me to breath." And with that, he laugh. "Thank you. I'm just wondering if it is true that you like me?". And now he is laughing so hard. This is so embarrassing. I wanted to run. "Who told you that?" He asked.

"Your brother." I replied. Well, i guess this is not true. I guess his brother is just lying. "I guess he's wrong. Why would I like an assuming, boring and not so sexy girl like you? You're not hot. Your lips are not kissable. Why would I like you?"

And after all those things he said... I cried. I cried not because I am not sexy, I am not kissable and I am not hot. I cried because of embarrassment and guilt. I ran as fast as I can. And as I ran, his co-players saw me. They even saw John walk out of the storage room.

And now, I'm crying. I don't know. I'm hurt.

Rick's POV

"Is that Rose?" Mark asked me. "Wait. I'll check." I replied.

Well, i guess he's correct. Rose is sitting at the school's garden table.

"What are you doing here?" I know that she's not okay. I know her. Well, i liked her before. Ever since we saw her picture at dad's mail.

"Uhm. Nothing." She said while wiping her eye. "Do you need someone to talk to?" I asked again. "No. No. I'm okay. Well, not really. I'm just hurt because of embarrassment and guilt from your brother." There we go. Now that I know the reason. I can punch my brother right away. He promised me to not to hurt her, but look what he did? Yes. He promised me that. Both of us like Rose so much. But because of Eva, i let go of her and i want my brother to take care of her.

"Uhm. I don't know the whole story but you can cry to me. You can hug me if you want to. You can make me your clown for now. Well... To cut it short. I will make you happy. Can you come with me?"

"Sure. Just promise me to take care of me. You know... I don't know how to cross a street. I don't know some other things that most people do outside." She said. Well, i know she is shy but I know what she feels.

"Okay. I Promise!"

Rose's POV

We're at J's bar. Maybe they own this one.

"Uhm. Rick, are we welcome here. Can we come in? I think it is not suitable for us to be in here." I asked him, well, we don't know. Most of the bars has an age limit of 18 years old.

"It's okay. This bar is not that kind of bar you're thinking. This bar is more formal than the others." he replied. I just nodded as my reply. When we came in... We went in a room and I am shocked because my family and his family is in there.

"Good thing you're here." Dad said. Bad thing... Not good thing... John is there sitting beside Jenaline. "Ate Rose!" Jenaline shouted. She kissed me in my cheeks and she pulled me to sit beside her. I can't stop her,she's still a kid. She will cry if I won't do what she wants.

After 30 minutes of eating and chit chatting...

"We have an announcement... May we have you attention." Tito said. My father stood up with him. "We made up our minds. There will be a wedding to happen in 4 years." Dad said.

"Wedding? Whose wedding?" Kuya asked. Well, i don't want to talk with them.. I don't have any idea about that, so I just played with Jenaline.

"It's John and Rose's wedding." Uncle said.

"What?!" John and I shouted.

"Him/her?!" John and I shouted.

"No way!" We shouted.

"Yes, yours." Dad replied.

"But!.." I shouted. "No buts dear... That's our decision. It's final." Dad replied.

I just sat down quietly. After 5 minutes... "Excuse me... I'll just go outside."

I went outside... At the parking lot.

"We both know that we don't like this." someone said. When i looked back, i saw John walking towards me. He sat beside me and said... "I don't what to do and i shouldn't say this but... I'm sorry about what happened a while ago. I'm not in the mood that time." I looked at him shocked, it is my first time to hear him say sorry.

"It's okay. Well, i need to go back inside. Maybe Jenaline is looking for me."

I am about to walk but he stopped me by holding my arms. "One last thing... I don't want to hear anything like this from our classmates. I don't want them to know about this." He said. "No problem, I don't want them to know about this too." I said as I walk away.

For real, i don't want them to know about this. I don't want them to know I will marry that boy. And I swear I won't FALL at him.

I went at the National Bookstore near in this bar. I went here with my brother. He promised me to make me happy because of this bad news.

When we went there, I saw a notebook with a title of "Secret Diary It Is!" i looked at it and my brother get it from me and paid it in the counter.

When we went home, he gave it to me and i just said Thank You even though I really don't want to buy it.

I went up in my room and I am thinking what to do with this Secret Diary.

I opened it and it states there ...

Write you feelings, secrets and many more.

So I wrote there the date and...

Dear SDII,

I had a very bad day. It started at the gymnasium and ended in the bar. I also had a bad news... I will marry the boy I hated. I don't know what to do... I can't my dad because he has the power. He has everything. I can't stop this anymore.

P.S.

Now, i know the truth. He really don't like me. Not at all.
