January 2014
They are closer now. She now responds to her silly conversation starter, doesn't roll her eyes at her jokes and she actually talks to her randomly. See I was right, you are nice, she is nice, and giving her a chance wasn't bad at all. Isn't it.
So why does my heart partly want me to be wrong?
"Hey, guess what?"
She hits you with a book titled "The Notebook" because she's an hopeless romantic. She believes it's a way to a lady's heart. She sits beside me with a wide grin on her face.
"I have no idea."
I responded blankly as I continue to write my school paper that is due later. The crammer that I am haunts me sometimes.
"You're not even trying. Guess!"
Exhausted, I stare at Love as I point at the paper in front of me without saying a word.
"Okay. Okay. Chill! You don't have to guess anymore. I already choose which scholarship I'll take."
My fingers were instantly frozen with her words. My mind left blank as I slowly process everything, she didm't even confirm it because the moment I look at Love, her eyebrows were wiggling in happiness.
"I'm happy for you. Next semester right?"
I let out as I convincingly as I can. Her smiles grow bigger as she sighs.
"Yes, I got to spend more time with you."
"Is it me or Milky?"
I teased as I avoided her eyes and tried to focus on my paper again. I heard her chuckle.
"She's one of my reason. Speaking of her, where is she?"
"Meeting with her group for a presentation. We are currently bombarded by school works that I may forget how to breath with lot of things on my mind."
"Hearing all these things you need to do makes me question if I really want to study, but then, knowing I could spend more time with you and Milk makes it a little worth while."
"Your crush on her is getting a little creepy, Love. Tone it down a bit, I'm still Milk's best friend so you can't be too complacent."
I teased as I fixed my things. I wouldn't be able to think straight if I keep hearing Love admiring Milk any longer or I would end up having a shitty attitude towards her.
"I'm leaving you here, give me peace. I'll see you later."
I was about to leave when she caught my wrist.
"As Milk's best friend, I would like you to know that this is no longer a crush, Ciize. I really like your best friend. I mean it."
"Best of luck to that, Love Pattranite."
I pat her back and leave.
Peace, Love. I wanted peace for Christ sake and you tell me this? What a day it is!!
