Hey, Cupid (COMPLETED)

Chapter 2: The Writer (Part 2)

Third Person’s POV

If only literature was not a General Education subject, and there are other subjects with available slots, then Bella would not take the former. Who on the earth would even like to spend their time reading nonsense literatures which are all boring as hell, (okay, maybe this was an exaggeration because she’s aware that there are people who enjoys such things but the point is, not her) never in her wildest imagination that she would learn to like literature. She disgusts it.

Which is why; for her, it was really a pain in the ass to be in a literature class. She wanted to drop the subject but thinking about the money she spent for the tuition fee made her think about her choices. And then come the next day, after opening her locker, she found a letter. She opened it with a confused look on her face and after seeing that it was a poem—about her and how she shines brightly whenever she smiles and blah, blah blah, she crumpled the paper into a circle placed it inside her bag. She’ll disposed the trash later but now, she has to run towards their classroom. ‘Argh! Boring na nga ang aga-aga pa ng klase sa prof. na yun. Kainis talaga!’

Her receiving a letter had continued on for a week now, and her growing annoyance with the sender along with her hatred towards the subject continues not until an ingenious plan had struck her mind. She clearly knows that the person who sends her letters is head over heels for her, so why not take advantage of that. Isa pa, para n’ya na ring gagawan ng charity ‘yong taong ‘yon kasi she’ll agree to date him. Sounds good, right?

Feb’s POV

Packing tape! So hindi niya pala talaga gusto si guy? She… She just took advantage of him? Kasi gusto niyang pumasa sa literature and now that the semester had ended, she’s breaking up with him? Woah. I never knew a person could be this cruel and heartless. I mean, from the story that I had witnessed, it seems like Neville’s feelings was so pure but she… How can she even show her face in front of him? This witch! It’s just right na mag-break sila. I would not use my power to help them reconcile. Neknek n’ya no. Let her regret her wrongdoings the moment she would realize Neville’s worth. This effin witch does not deserve Neville. Wala man akong power to curse someone’s love story to be ill-fated, but I seriously wish this girl would get her karma soon.

Neville’s POV

“But you… You told me you loved receiving those letters?” I told her while crying silently, failing to hold back the tears anymore because of her sudden revelation regarding the letters.

“Neville, you gullible creature. Ever heard of the word ‘pretending’? No? Eh ‘di ayan, may first-hand experience ka na. You should thank me pa pala kasi I was able to teach you how the world works. You were so caught up in your little bubble na akala mo totoong may fairytales at happy endings. Surprise, surprise! Walang ganoon. Kaya gumising ka na please lang. And I’ll say this one last time: stop pestering me or it’ll just intensify the hate I have towards you.” Bella said, finally leaving me behind in our table, looking effin’ pitiful.

I was even willing na lumuhod just to beg her to stay and not break up with me but thinking that it is not only me who would be humiliated if I had created such a scene but also her, I can’t afford that to happen. She’s still really important for me. I blame love for this. Why do we have to lose our rational self when we love? I am fully aware that she had just used me for her own good and yet, why? Why can’t I hate her?

I hid my face using the book that I had brought with me on the supposed-to-be reconciliation ‘date’ (because she had avoided me for a month already) that I had planned today. I just let my tears flow, I don’t even care if I look really pathetic right now. If I don’t get to release all these emotions out of my system, I might get crazy.
