This Game Called Love

Chapter 2

"Leave me alone."

He clenched his fist without looking at me.
I try to go near him but I can't moved. He looks menacing.

"If you need someone to talk to, I'm here." I said with so much concern.

Even though we don't talk too much I know what he's going through, and I just want to tell him that I'm always here to listen.

He sarcastically laughed and looked at me straight in the eyes. I try my best to avoid it because I couldn't match with the intensity of his stares. You can feel his overflowing anger and hate.

"Stop acting like a good samaritan."

He stood up and walked in front of me. His threatening stares never left mine. He keeps on walking to shorten the distance between us.

"You can never replace her." he said with so much anger and conviction.

I couldn't help but to look at him and match his furious eyes.

"What are you talking about? I'm just trying to help." I try my best to remain calm, but I feel so offended because of his sudden accusation.

"Then I don't need your fucking help!" he shouted at me.

"I don't like you! And I don't want to see your face ever again." that was the last thing he said before he walked away.

I remain frozen as tears continuously fell down from my eyes. Ever since I started having feelings for him, I always remind myself there's no chance he would like me back.

But it feels devastating when you directly heard it from him.

His words, it was like a slap on my face. I booked a taxi without knowing where to go. All I know is that I want to stop myself from crying. I've never felt so helpless, not until I played this stupid game called love.

That scenario suddenly went back to my memory. Kung hindi lang nag-sorry si Lucas ay tuluyan ko ng nakalimutan 'yun.

Nakatulala lang ako dito na parang tanga. He just apologized but why do I felt so weird?

I can still feel my heart beating so crazy. I went back to my room and took a quick bath to lessen this sensation I feel.

I started doing my skincare routine pero nasa isip ko pa rin 'yung sinabi n'ya. He wants to make it up to me.

'Yan lang naman ang sinabi n'ya pero kung maka-arte ako daig ko pa ang sinabihan ng I like you!

It keeps on bothering me and I don't know what to do. I went out of my room and I was just about to knock in Louise door when I suddenly remember I haven't told her about this issue. As much as possible, I refrained myself from saying my problems to her, especially when it's about Lucas.

Ayokong mag-away pa sila dahil sakin.

Medyo nakaka-lungkot nga lang na hindi lahat kaya kong sabihin sa bestfriend ko.

Well, it's my decision not to tell her anything. After all, Lucas is her brother and I don't want to ruin his reputation to his sister.

I went back to my room and suddenly laid myself on the bed.

I keep on punching my pillow to divert my attention. When I got bored, I decided to check twitter and Facebook for new memes. I was about to send a funny meme on our barkada's gc when a message from Lucas flashed on my screen.

From Lucas Suarez:

Hey?

I almost lose my grip on my phone when I read his message. He never sent me a text, the last time I messaged him was when Louise got drunk, and he needs to pick her up. Last year pa nga 'yun so ngayon may plano siyang buhayin ang naabandona na naming convo?
