"Truth or dare?" Elric said, his friend. "Dare." my crush said. "Then... kiss someone." Elric. The crowd cheers. He laughs nervously. He glances at me, his heart says my name but his courage fails. Instead, he turns and kisses another girl in the circle. Everyone gasps, then laughs. But my smile fades. May mga damdaming hindi basta nasasabi, mga tingin at halik ng katahimikan na nag-iiwan ng bakas sa puso. Sa isang mundong puno ng pangkaraniwan, isang lihim na paghanga ang unti-unting umuusbong. Pero paano mo ipapahayag ang nararamdaman kung natatakot kang masaktan? Some feelings are meant to stay unspoken, to exist only in glances and heartbeats, in the quiet moments that no one else will ever understand.
