One Step Closer

Truth

School ended really quick today. Maybe, its because I have been thinking about Daniel the whole day. I can't help but like his, attitude, his stories, his appearance and his everything. But I still won't say this to anyone, even Vi 'cause that will just be............ weird.

I walked to the front gate and I texted Daniel a quick message. I kept my phone in my pocket and waited for Kyle. I saw him walking over me, his cheeks were slighty pink in color but it may be because of the heat.

"Hi Rose , so where would we study?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe at the public library, the café or here at school."

"Let's go to the café I guess, I don't really want to be stuck in a place so quiet." I nodded and we went to the café.

I sat at a seat far away for anyone to see both of us. I took out my English book as he took out his own.

"Welcome to Sweet Heaven Café. What can I get for you two?" The waitress said as she gave us a little menu.

"I'll have a blueberry cheesecake and a caramel fráppe." She nodded and listed down my orders.

"And you, sir?" She asked him with her cheery smile.

"Just green tea." He replied as the waitress listed down his order. She repeated them and we both nodded in response.

"Okay, if that's all then I should go." She left the two of us. I looked over at Kyle who was looking uncomfortable on his seat. I gave him a little smile.

"So Kyle, why did you set up this little "date" by telling you need help in studying English?" I received no response from him.

"Look, I know that you have high grades in English, even higher than mine but why did you told me to help you?" I said but he still won't say it. All our orders were delivered to us and I ate my cheesecake. I was still looking at him waiting for an answer. He was just drinking his tea, not even looking at me.

"I'm not going to stop staring at you until you tell my why." I declared which made him blush a little.

He breathed deeply then breathed out. "Fine, I just needed to talk to you about something." He said putting emphasis at something. I stopped eating my cake even though its my favorite cake. Its just so tempting to eat it while his talking but I might not pay attention but still I want to taste that sweet blueberry ca- Okay! I think my mind wandered off a little I should pay attention to him now.

"I asked you to help me in English 'cause I need your help." He said then returned to drinking his beloved tea.

"In what?" I asked which made him blush hard. His blush reached up to his ears.

"W-well... um... I..." He stuttered out.

I was growing impatient. "Just tell me, goddamn it!" I shouted out then everyone eyes was on me. I muttered a small 'sorry' under my breath.

"Fine. You know Olivia, right? Well I asked you to help me 'cause I sorta have a..." His voice trailed off at the end.

"'Cause you sorta what?" I said. Before he can speak I interrupted him. "If you didn't say that last part clear and loud then I'll have no choice but to stab you with my fork. Do you understand?" He nodded back at me.

"I sorta like... Olivia..." I couldn't believed what he was saying. He said he liked Vi, her, my bestie. Oh my god.

"You what?!" Again, all eyes were on me. I muttered another 'sorry'.

"Y-you h-heard m-me." He stuttered as he blushed a really dark shade of red.

"You like her. Oh my god, I never expected this not even a bit." I still looked at him with eyes that says: 'Are you serious as hell?'

"I know that we don't talk to each other but she's really beautiful." He blushes even more, if it was possible.

"Dude, you should totally ask her out. She might accept it."

"W-what? I can't do that. We don't even know each other that well."

"Then try to talk to her and make sure you are your true self. After that she will totally go out with you once she realized that you're nice. Trust me."

"I just can't." He looked down.

"Then I'll... I'll help you. You just need to talk to her, hang out with her. After all of that, we'll meet here then tell me your progress." I said

He sighed. "You think its a good idea?" I nodded then he smiled a little.

"Good. Remember what I said and give me your phone."

"What?"

"I said 'give me your phone'." I repeated.

"Why?" He took out his phone and I snatched it from his hand.

"I'll put my number and I'll get your number so you could ask me anything when you're around Vi." I typed everything and returned his phone. I stood up and looked at my unfinished cheesecake. I sighed and I said 'bye' to him and left.
