First Crush

Chapter 9: I Like You

"Ok, don't forget your assignments now. Good bye." Sir Viniez said while holding the papers.

I fix all my things and put it inside my bag. I was relieve that its recess time and time for another subject. But before our next subject, we still have 20 minutes vacant plus our 30 minutes reccess time. Thats what I like about this section. And I think, I'm getting comfortable in my section this year.

All of us went outside individually and went to the canteen. Me and Therese bought fries and shake and sat on the gazebo.

We made silence while eating. Well, thats us.

As we were finishing our snack, Charlee sat next to me and started talking. Therese stared at us and smiled. I know what she's planning, she thinks Charlee likes me. Well thats awkward.

Its been a long time since I'ved seen DJ. You know that feeling when that special person to you is away...

I stood up and walked on my own going to our next class. I placed my bag outside the classroom and just sat there. Well, this is weird. I mean, this is my body but I don't know what your doing..

While I was bowing my head, bending my knees and wrapping it with my arm, someone spoke

"Hey there, you okay?" He said

"No, I'm fine." I said sobbing

Wait, I'm sobbing?! Why? Okay, I miss DJ okay? Everytime I see him, I just can't let him go..

Charlee sat next to me and wrap his arm on my shoulders. Wow, he seems worried.

"C'mon, just tell me. I can keep secrets." Charlee said sincerely

I turn to him and saw his worried face. He wiped a tear in my cheeks that was falling. Aww, he is so sweet. Should I tell him what I feel?

"Please tell me. I won't tell anyone. You can trust me." He said looking in my tearing eyes.

Okay, I'll tell him this time. He seem sincere..

"Promise?" I said sobbing again

"Yes, I promise,"

"Its about----- DJ"

"What?!"

"I like him okay? I just can't live without him.." I said wiping my tears

Charlee took his arms that was around me and turn on the other side. Wait, is he jealous? No, it can't be. I wipe my tears and faced him. He looks sad.

"Hey, you okay?" Now were changing position.

*Charlee's POV*

Ouch! That hurts. I wish I was DJ. Well lets just make it clear. I like Alyza since grade 1 and I'm trying to do everything so she can see me.. And I'm trying to protect her. I was thankful that were classmates this year.

"Hey, you okay?" She said worriedly

Her sweet voice always makes my day. Thats why I always tease her. And about sir Viniez a while ago, I did it on purpose so we could have more time together. But when DJ passed, I can't help but stop that jealousy I was having.

I have to move. I can't let her figure out what I was feeling because that will ruin my relationship with her.

"No-nothing.. Its just, I don't wanna see you sad anymore. Okay?" I said trying not to blow out.

"Oh, okay." She said in a gentle voice.

I just can't imagine life without her.
