Off Guard

Chapter 3

*Wave*

"Hi, Rene."

"Hey there!"
"You busy?"

"I'm Kervy."

"Yuhooo!"

This guy is quite persistent. However, I feel good. My body is literally shaking because of the adrenaline. What should I reply?

I started to type a phrase Hi! What's up? with a bald smiling and blushing emoji. Should I send it? Nah!

*delete*delete*delete*

I sent a waving emoji instead. I don't want to look desperate.

"You finally replied!" Whew. He replies really fast.

"How did you know my name?" I already have the hint but I want to confirm it. Plus I cannot think of anything to say. I'm suck in chatting! This might not work.

"I asked your classmate earlier. I'm already into you since last year though." This guy... IS HE NOT EMBARRASS?! Where did he get the audacity to confess? My goodness! But...

"Into me? Last year?"

"Yeah.. I mean, my! This is embarrassing but, I always look at you ever since. You probably never noticed me though 'cuz you never looked to anyone when you walk. But I really find you cute so I was shocked when I caught you staring." The thought that he caught me staring obviously lifted up his confidence. Therefore, men are least likely to take a risk if they couldn't find any chance. So I guess, it is easy to get into a relationship if the girl would initiate. If, girls would show a little interest.

However, there's no way that I would initiate. But maybe, I can manipulate myself that I like him. That I'm also into him...

But I'm really into him!

I smiled as my organs started to rumble. I like him because I like the feeling of liking him. That's very certain.

"I see..." It was the only words I managed to type. I should not rush things. It might turn him off.

"You really are cold. Anyway, why did you stare at me at that time?" Gah! I don't like his insensitivity. Why ask the obvious question. He seriously wants to catch me off guard.

"Fetish. I mean, your eyeglasses." I tried to grope for better words to no avail. I don't lie. If I want to make this thing works, I have to be honest with myself. And to him...

Besides, I don't know what else to say. I'm not fond of things like this.  I should have searched for guide tips on how to flirt first.

"Then I should try not to take them off from now on. I want you to stare at me forever." I winced as soon as I read his reply but for corny reason, it suddenly changed into a smile. Eww. His words are kinda disgusting but I couldn't remove the grin that plastered in my face right now.

"That was flattering."

"Eh? You sound like you ain't flattered at all." Am I? I am really flattered but I don't need to exaggerate things. What am I supposed to say?

"I really am."

"I have to go. Gtg sleep." I immediately turned my internet off after sending that two messages. I like and embrace the feeling of liking him but I'm sucked in chatting. I don't want to create a further awkward atmosphere between us. Or perhaps, I just can't take what's happening yet.
