I: Stone-hearted Guy and Cath

CATH

"ALBERT WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE MY HEART! FIND THAT CRIMINAL." The poster says. Well, this isn't a big deal for me but I am sure that he'll burst when he see this.

"WHERE'S CATH?" That voice sounds familiar. When I look at the boy, I saw Albert.

Oops.. There he is. Standing in front of me: eyes wide open and fists closed. 

"What's that mess? Huh? Why is that poster hanging around the campus' walls?!" Uh-oh. Did I mention that at this moment, he delivers a red face? I almost thought that he was an atomic bomb who's ready to explode.

 "Well, that's how affectionate I am." I said. "That's how I show my love for ya." I raised up my voice but still the tune is in a good way.

"Love your face, Cath!" Albert said. "This isn't time for joke. I want that poster to get out of my sight. You know what I mean, huh? Please. I dont want to see that hanging around, It creeps the hell out of me."

"Okay." I said, giving up.

"My usual order." I said to Rosie. The cafeteria's manager.

Cafeteria is the only solution to my frustration. Ugh. I hate this. I hate this One-Sided-Love feeling.

"Thanks." I took my Caramel Frappucino and my Oreo Cake and I shoved myself to the nearest vacant table. 

Whenever I think about what happened... I almost felt like crying. Ugh, I spent my whole month for that freaking poster, then this is what I am receiving?! Life is so unfair. He is so unfair.

I am in the middle of my thoughts when Bella-my best friend-came to me. 

"I heard what happened. Are you okay?" She said.

I took a long sip of my Frappe. "I am not okay." I took another sip. "I. am. damn. angry. right. now. Can't he see my effort? I am running and catching him for almost over a year... but still no progress? My God."

I heard Bella sighed. "I told you. This isn't going to work but still you continued."

I didn't answered.

"My advice to you... find a guy who'll return your love, not a guy who was stone-hearted."

I unknowingly nodded at her and took a sip again. 

I was so pre-occupied the whole day. Professors have their meetings so the class was happy due to an early dismissal. This happens once a month.

I was about to reach the lockers room when I bumped into a man. "Oops. I was so pre-occupied. I am sorry. I am sorry." I said while picking up the books that I fell.

"That's okay. It's my fault, too. I am not paying attention." He said. Woah, he do have those dimples and that death defying perfect set of white teeth like... Albert's. Wow. Just Wow.

"No it's-" I said but he cut me.

"It's our fault." He said almost laughing. "I can't believe that we're arguing on small things. Haha. By the way, Josh." He said, offering his hands to me.

"Cath." I said and smiled.
