MY HEART SAYS IT'S YOU
[Take time to read this]

"Chris!" I shouted but he continue walking. I was half running because he's fast!

"Angge!" I heard my friend shouted too but I continue to chase Chris.

"Angelica!" She shouted again, but it's like my whole name is new to my ears, she never called by my whole name unless she's already frustrated by me.

So I looked at my back and saw my friend Ali.

"What? Mauna ka na umuwi, may kakausapin pa ako!" I half shouted and my head turned to look again for Chris, and he's heading to the library.

"Are you following Chris?" She asked.

My cheeks flush red, it's not like me chasing a guy, alright! "Mind your own business Ali, may sasabihin lang ako. You can go now."

She sighed and wave her hand as a goodbye, and I wave my hand too.

I breath as I enter the library.

I roamed my head and I saw Chris sitting there while reading a book. I also sitted at where he was, but he never look at me.

Tumukhim ako, and he just notice me that I am here infront of him.

His brows furrowed.

"What?"

I took a deep breath. I didn't sleep because of this. Whatever his answer I'll accept it wholeheartedly. This is my decision, and maybe telling him that I like him, mawawala rin kaagad itong nararamdaman ko.

"I l-like you." Sht! Why I need to stutter in front of him? Boys are head over heals with me, everyone likes me!

"I don't like you. And i'm sorry to burst your bubble but I think it's just your infatuation or puppy love," He said. And boom! I don't know this coming, his word— it came from his mouth, I know to myself that I'll accept his rejection because I know that this feeling of mine towards him will just fade as soon as I tell him.

He goes back on what he is doing, like there's no someone is hurting by his words and like there's no someone who confessed with him and he just rejected it!

I looked at him once again. He's just sitting firmly, he's wearing his eyeglasses but it can't change the fact that his handome! His natural pinkish lips, his proud nose, his perfect jaw, his chinito eyes. I almost hear his breathing, I can see his fingers tapping the table like what he always do when he's reading. This just simple gestures from him made my heart beat as it is.

I stood up, but before I leave him... "I like you, and this is not just a puppy love. I'll do everything for you to like me back and even love me." I almost tap my head, why I said those words? Am I insane?

But I didn't receive an answer so that's my signal to leave him, but I'll always comeback. Siya yung tipong kahit ayawan at layuan ako ay babalik-balikan ko pa rin.

"I like someone, okay?" I am chasing him again, but I can see now his irratated face from here. He's tall and I need to look up just to see his illegal yet a greek god face.

"W-Who?" I asked.

So he like someone? But why my heart is still hoping.

"I don't care. You don't have girlfriend on your side, so I have a chance..." I almost whispered.

I'll never give up on him unless there's an evidence that I need to.
