Neglected Hearts

Chapter One

Angelica's P.O.V.

"Choosing you was never a mistake but time made my choice a mistake"

Few Months Ago

"Why don't you just go talk to him?" Sheila irritably said to when she caught me stealing glances at Hugo for that fifth time this morning.

"Are you serious? Talk to him? How can you say that as if we didn't know that he likes Rhein?" I bitterly said to her. She just nodded at me and went back reading.

The life of Angelica Jane Mendez was never been easy but the boy I'm looking at seems to make my burdens a little bit lighter. Plus the fact that there is always something in him that keeps getting my attention.

"Answer me truthfully Angelica. Are you already in love with him?" Sheila asked and with that, Shaina and Kim that are both reading dropped their books and eyed me seriously.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not thinking about that for the meantime. I like him, that's it. I'll just stay with that" I said. The three of them frowned because of my answer, they all went back reading with those looks on their face.

Love is too deep. It can't be explained specifically even by those genius people out there. And for me I have my own version of its meaning.

L-lasts long. If it is just for a week or month, that's not love, trust me it's just a mere attraction. Love stays even if the person doesn't. O-over the skies feeling. It brings you an unexplainable feeling, more than just like you're in cloud 9 like what others describe it, but it will never leave you hanging. V-very magical. Love seems to be like magic, it makes everything okay without you even noticing it. It seems so wonderful, and like magic science can't explain love in its most specific meaning. And I think that is the most wonderful part of love. And, E-everything about that person matters. That person makes you worried if he's not around, you became instantly happy when he's happy, and you'll get angry if you know he's doing something bad even if you know you don't have the right to do so. And even the smallest thing about that person makes you feel something different.

Oh sh*t! I shouldn't have thought about that again. It just makes me think, which I never like when it goes too much.

I will just question myself again if, have I ever felt all of those? And with whom?

And I hate myself for having answers to those questions.

'Because I don't wanna fall in love with him totally. For I know that I can't stay with him forever, I will leave for my dreams without even thinking twice even though it means leaving him behind.

Wait, why am I thinking about that? As if he will care if I leave. Rhein is the apple of his eyes, so why would I bother if he will look for me or not. DUH

"Done daydreaming Angelica?" Shaina wake my senses up from my deep thinking.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I want taho with lots of sago"

"Stop being so conyo, Angelica. He can clearly hear, just so you know" she said while arching her right eyebrow.

"Is there something wrong about craving for taho?" Just because sago and Hugo sounds like, a bit?

"It sounds like your" she stopped and eyed me sheepishly, then she continued "Craving for him" she said and looked at Hugo for a second then laughed as if there's no tomorrow.
