Chapter 2 UR MY CRUSH

Lara's POV

"Hahay! What a tiring life." I yawned and slowly lay down like an eighty year old woman.

I'm in my younger sister and I's bedroom right now and all the stuff that is needed on our project is on the table.

I extended my right hand to reach my phone that is also on the table and immediately went to the facebook app to entertain myself for a while-with memes I might see. While scrolling, I decided to wait for that 'cold royal' person to go online before I start to do the things I needed to do even though I'm not sure if I'll get anything out of waiting.

I can't help but use my cellphone, I'm too lazy to do my project especially when it's by group but I'm the only one who is doing it. Well, it's better for me to be alone tho, than doing this with my groupmates-who's just bothersome. It's already enough for me that they gave contributions with materials that are needed because I really prefer to be alone doing stuff like this, I am more productive being alone.

But that will be later, I'll scroll to facebook first. I'm still not in the condition to study.

Scroll-scroll. Share-share. I just do it over and over again... I've been waiting here for a minutes but that 'cold royal' is still not online. All I know is, this is the time he goes online, eh.

"Tsh! The check isn't still got shaded." I frowned looking at our conversation.

I have a long distance relationship with this guy-cold royal, the one I pertain to. I called him cold royal because he's cold but loyal to me.

To prove that, there's a time that I created a dummy account and I tried to entertain him but he said that he has a girlfriend! Of course! My heart felt flattered! But still, our conversation is too cold, too dry, like an idiot.

He reasoned out that he's busy with his study... that's why we just get to communicate on weekends. It is so annoying the fact that even if he's online on weekdays he can't even give me a minute to update or check me out... like that. I'm also a busy person but I can find time for him. Maybe it's his will to just ignore me? But you know... I'm more irritated with myself. Because, how could I choose to stay with this kind of person? Ahh.. I don't know anymore. This makes me feel sick.

I got closer to him because we're friends on facebook... I already know him because my former suitor and him are friends. Actually, he's just living in our neighbor-municipal but even though we planned to meet, up until now, it's just a drawing, not getting colored. We're three months in a relationship and this is the very first relationship I have longed for.

But, dude, would you still stay with your long distance relationship who just shows up once a week? He even surpassed the power of the ghost to disappear! So, I think, this is the time to end this obtuseness. Not because he's a handsome guy I will turn into a desperate woman? No way!

"Yaz! He's online now... finally!" I said, trying my best not to shout when the check was shaded.

Me:

Denver, let's stop this.

You don't even have a time

for me, I might just a nuisance

to you, I think, its for the better

to stop this and let's just focus

on our studies.

I can clearly hear my heartbeat while repeatedly reading the message I sent him an hour ago.

"Omg! Omg! He's typing now!" I immediately covered my mouth when I saw 3 dots moving in our conversation.

Denver:

Why, babe?

Are u serious with that, babe?😕

How could you say that babe?

Is it because I'm a useless boyfriend?

"Luh, why is he calling me with that... he even uses emoji? He makes me feel guilty..." I whispered.

Don't be twiggy, Lara, this is for your own good. But...

Me:

I think, I'm the one who

is useless here, eh.

Don't you want to end this, Den?

Denver:

Suit yourself, the decision

is yours...😟

"Gosh, why is my answer like this?!" I said, still covering my mouth. "Why does when it comes on him, I'm turning into a fool?"

I bit my lower lip and started to type again.

Me:

You might get angry at me.

Gosh, Lara! Please! Someone slap me please!

Denver:

Yes or no?

Me:

I don't know🥺

"Argh! This is really annoying! Why does the question come back to me?! I'm the one who's breaking up here. Why was it turned upside down!?" I stomp in annoyance. I was frustrated with myself.

Denver cleared his own nickname. Edit

Denver cleared your nickname. Edit

"Ahy, ok. Just wow." I can't help but to roll my eyes. "He already cleared nickname, I guess this is the end."

Denver:

Well... ummm, thank

you for everything.

Me:

Ow, ok. Thank you

for everything too.

We can still be friends tho,

when you need something,

just chat me, anytime, I am

available.

Denver:

Ex-friend.

I couldn't help but laugh. I reacted haha ​​to his reply. This guy really... It's like a screw on him had been removed.

Me:

Hahaha! Okie. Suit

yourself. Bye-bye.

Denver:

What a shame... our

4th month is coming...

Me:

We're friends though.

Don't you like it?

"Wow, he's offline again." I sigh and roll my eyes again. "Whatever, it's his life though."

I put down the phone before wiping away my tears.

Tears?! Luh, why am I crying? Dzuh? I was the one who broke up here. Stupid.

I shook my head and went to facebook. As I scrolled... I saw memes again.

Christmas is near. Guess it's

time to admit to my crush.

I smiled at what I read and thought of sharing it with the caption, 'what a bad, I don't have a crush.'

I turned off the data after I shared the meme, then I drinked water to prepare myself. I need to focus on doing our project in Social Studies.

As I was drawing a map on manila paper, I couldn't help but to laugh.

This is crazy. I just realized that I haven't had a long-term relationship. I've had three exes but it hasn't lasted long. And suddenly, I'm on the point of-like I don't want them to consider that they become my official boyfriend.

Hayz, I need to stop this. I'll just entertain someone again when it's my soulmate... if I finally meet my soulmate.

"Wow, soulmate." I giggled on my self-deprecation.

But seriously. I don't want this kind of lovelife anymore, like bullshit.

....

An hour passed and I finally finished the project. I finished it early because I had already done a draft at school. I only did drawing and a bit of writing.

My younger sister entered the room just in time so I turned off the light. And as usual, I checked my social media first, before going to sleep.

I smirked in frustration when I saw that Denver didn't even have a response to my chat.

Hahaha! He doesn't really like me. Ew! He's really my last, I really don't want to entertain anymore, period.

After I checked my messenger, I then went to facebook and received 15 notifications. There were three who reacted haha about the meme I recently shared-the one about crush and there were two who commented.

Wehh?

Commented by Ate Andrea, one of my friends.

I reacted haha ​​ to it, before reading a comment from Mico, a friend of my friends- Ashbelle and Kate.

Will I admit now?

I bit my lip to suppress a grin before typing.

Like a fool. Why are you asking me that? Go and ask turtles?|

I'm ready to send what I typed but I realized something and deleted it immediately. I don't want to ruin this opportunity. We're still not that close. I want him to be my friend, a very close friend so I don't want to break his trip, I might lose the chance to be closer with him.

Hey! Who is that? Ehem, mind sharing it?

That's what I replied and I just received a national response.

HAHAHAHA

As soon as I read it, I wanted to knock his head. But he's far away from me so I can't help but to just pinch my pillow.

"This man is mean, he doesn't want to share it with me," I said, frowning.

I just ended up playing music and was about to turn off the data when suddenly... someone chatted. It's Mico.

Mico Teranza:

Hey!

He chatted and I immediately replied.

Me:

Hey you too!

I kept on slapping my thigh because I find my reply kind of funny. But my happiness immediately ended when I read his response.

Mico Teranza:

Ur my crush, HAHAHA!

My hand unconsciously went on my mouth to cover it as my eyes widened. "WHAT THE FUDGE-e barr is yummylicious!!! Ekk-"
