Truth be told, Grant is my childhood best friend. And apparently, yours truly fell in love with him. If you’re going to ask if he knows about my feelings, the answer would be no. I would never admit it because I knew he’d just get mad at me and he’d cut our ties as best friends.
That’s what I see at dramas, the reason why I kept these feelings all by myself. And one more thing, it’s enough that I get to talk to him and that I matter in his life. Though I would feel neglected at times, what’s important is that he’s still talking to me, right?
And if I confess my feelings, I bet it would spread like wildfire… because of his fangirls. In that case, his image as a model, actor, and singer would be at stake.
Aside from being talented, he’s also smart, but he’s the cold type of person in real life, but then again when it comes to his fangirls, the friendly side of him would be resurfaced. As if his lips are always ready to smile.
And that’s okay with me…
He kind of had thick and dark brows, his nose is pointy and his skin so soft and milky. His attractive and plump lip is his best asset. He looks downright like a Korean artist because he’s also good at his fashion sense.
He had it all in him,
Or maybe not.
He doesn’t know how to dance and he’s not that tall. He hates it when I call him a short-legged person. He’d roll his eyes and won’t talk to me. He’s not that small but he’s just in between being 5’4 or 5’5.
We would always argue about a video where he danced as a birthday gift to me, of course, Mama forced him. When Mama showed me the video, I was so happy and Grant wasn’t. He doesn’t know how to dance as if his body is a bamboo stick.
“I’d like to kill that girl; she’d always show up everywhere even though Grant doesn’t like her.” I was so frustrated while watching as Wendy showed up in front of Grant once again. Wendy is the girl in the show who like Grant’s role.
“Even though she showed up everywhere, Ate, you still couldn’t deny the fact that she’s so much more than you. You can’t stand a chance with her.”Daya contradicted me so I got a throw pillow and smashed it on her shoulder with too much force. She stood up and sat on an ottoman instead.
She really likes teasing me. Tsk. Mama loves me more than you!
I was about to kick her but she showed me my phone, “Kick me and I’ll drop your phone.” She stated. There was a text message from someone! So I acted properly and got my phone from her.
I hurriedly opened my phone and hoped that it would be Grant, but it was just a message from our dance crew group chat.
FG DANCE CREW
@greatleader: let’s meet each other later at 6 pm, don’t be late. The last one to get there would run the plaza for ten times.
I replied a yes, Kuya with pouting lips and turned it off right away. I was disappointed that it wasn’t Grant. I should be accustomed to it since he never texted me first.
“Who texted you, Ate? Let me guess, it wasn’t Kuya Grant?” asked my sister. I widened my eyes and gave her a sharp look. I signaled her to shut her mouth because Mama might hear her. It was only her who knows about my feelings.
“Stop talking to me, Daya. You’ve been teasing me since this show started.” I annoyingly stated and focused on watching the show.
“I’m not teasing you… you were just butt hurt.” I got the remote control and was about to throw it to her when she hid herself behind Mama’s back.
“Stop it Daya, you’re too old and yet you still act like a kid. What have you been arguing about this time? Come back to your seat.” But she stayed at Mama’s back. What a coward.
“Mama, sister is about to throw the remote at me.” I rolled my eyes at her and placed the remote control at the center table.
“Could you stop it, Sid? Why would you throw the remote? It’s not that I’m taking sides but I am more concerned with the remote. What if you got it destroyed. Do you have money to replace it?” I got more irritated as Daya stocked her tongue out at me. I swear I’d cut that tongue.
Mama sat beside me and got a bit from the Leche flan, “Your Leche flan tastes so sweet.”
“Ma, don’t eat it if you’re just going to complain every time. If you don’t want it, then I’ll eat it.” I answered back which earned me a pinch in the inner thigh. Ouch!
“Anyway, Mama, I need to go out later at 6 pm, we have dance practice.” Her eyes stayed on the TV not minding what I said.
“All right, but promise we you won’t be absent for the rest of the week, because if not, I’ll be the one to personally talk to your leader to kick you out of the group.” Mama stated and I just nodded. Maybe I needed to find a way to ditch my classes without Mama finding out.
“You’d really believe ate, Ma? She’s just taking your words out of her other ear.” I shook my head in disbelief, such an antagonist. Tsk.
“And you know what, Daya? It’s bad to interfere with the conversation of the elders.” I answered her.
“Could you guys stop arguing already?” I just rolled my eyes unto it.
It was still 5 o’clock when I decided to prep myself. I wore black short shorts and an oversized black shirt paired with sneakers. I tied my hair in a bun and that’s it. Maybe you’re wondering but I do not wear makeups. It’s not that I’m against them, but I just do not feel it.
I ate dinner earlier the usual and wet out of the house. When I reached the plaza, I went to the space shuttle where we’d always meet and practice. I saw that only Sauron and Jeff are there.
“Hello, Sid!” They both waved at me and I nodded in response. I seated beside them.
“What are you guys doing?” I asked and they just waved their phones off my face.
“That was too new you dimwitted guys!” I rolled my eyes that made them laugh. I got Jeff’s phone and watched our last competition at Balungao where we won.
“What’s up guys!” we looked at John who just arrived… and soon each one of us arrived already.
“Who arrived at lastly?” Asked Kuya Zhed. He’s our leader. All of us were pointing towards Qin and he raised his arm slowly.
“Qin, you’re late again. What have you done this time?” Kuya Zhed asked, scratching his cheek while talking.
“Work, Kuya.”
Kuya nodded and didn’t punish him anymore.
“Who among you here have the time to practice? Here in the same venue and same time because this would be our last competition. After this, we’d split ways for a while and I’ll just message you guys if there’s another competition ahead.”
“Jasmine, please list the names of the people who’d join. You should make sure to be on time for the practice. I don’t want someone who’d be there in the start and eventually won’t end it.” He stated. “Raise the hands of people who are sure to join.”
I raised my hand in an instant. If I was able to do it before, then I would this time. I’m sure Mama won’t catch me.
The meeting ended right away and we stood up forming two lines by the partner and started to run the entire plaza ten times.
We’ve been doing it since then so we’ve been accustomed to it. I was easily exhausted before but not anymore. I also became more flexible because of our training. After that, we jog around the basketball court and ran towards the stairs ten times.
When the training ended, we were also exasperating and all were down in the grass resting. “That would be all for tonight. Let’s just see each other next time. I’ll be messaging you guys on our group chat. I’ll head out now.” Kuya Zhed stated and dismissed us.
“Take care, Kuys!”
“All right, Kuya!”“Kuya, let me join you in your motorbike!”I stood up and bid my farewell. I walked away from there and bought a juice on my way out before walking myself to home. I forgot that I didn’t have extra money with me.It was already late when I reached home. I stared at my phone and tried to contact Grant but to no avail.I hang up immediately and place my phone inside my pocket.While walking, I heard a guy’s voice near the garbage. I went near to where the voice is and I was surprised to see a guy, as if shocked as to why he’s in the trash.Or was he mentally ill?When his eyes caught me, he smiled at me.I was wondering why he’s dress that way.He’s wearing old clothes probably centuries ago. He has a long hair and is very good-looking. “Such a pity if he’s mentally ill…” I whispered to myself.“M-me? W-what? Mentally ill? Are you crazy?” he shouted at my face. Maybe he’s not mentally ill, just… out of fashion.He looked as awkward as he stated, “Can I go with you?” My
“Where’s Sid?” I stared at the door when I heard my name. I creased my forehead and my classmates pointed me.The guy went near me. He’s a grade twelve student. He placed a small box in my table, “Someone wants to give you this.” Then he’s gone.He’s really weird, ever since. He goes to our room twice a week to give something to me. If not food, then it would be a flower and he won’t tell me who’s giving it.I only know two things about him- he’s Raphael Sabante and he’s weird. I shook my head and wondered what it is this time.The teacher was late for a minute but started to the teacher right away before the discussion ended, she even asked me a question as to which I haven’t answered.I don’t mind anyway, what’s important is to pass. I don’t need high marks.I couldn’t help but stare at Grant’s seat once again, and I was surprised to see that he’s also looking at me, with a lollipop still in his mouth. Grant… I really do not know how his brain works…I swallowed hard because I couldn
I was shocked to see a guy’s back. I see we have a visitor today. I noticed my sister staring at the guy smilingly, so I creased my forehead. I sat down and placed my bag on the table.My eyes widened when I saw the face of our visitor, “What are you doing here?” I screamed at his face.He stopped eating and stared back at me. His eyes widened at the realization, “Hello!” I twisted my lips involuntarily because of that; don’t tell me that he doesn’t know what hello means.“Why are you shouting Sid? Sit down and calm down, will you? Don’t treat a visitor that way. We should actually be thankful to him.” Mama defended the guy as she seated beside Daya.“What’s your problem, Sis,” Daya asked.I chose to ignore her and asked Mama, “What do you mean, Ma?”Daya is now staring at the guy while eating. I promise my face must be looking so awkward right now. He looks like he hasn’t eaten for days and is very hungry.“I went to the market a while ago and on my way home, I passed by the park. I
She met his gaze and eyed him with the same intensity. The prince got affected because those eyes seem so familiar to him, like he saw it before, in a place he couldn’t recall.But he was certain that was the first time he saw her eyes because of their encounter in the forest, she was avoiding his gaze big time.“I order you to tell me their language here. Why don’t I know that?” He asked her. The mysterious girl chuckled, “You’re a prince, but then you don’t have an idea about their language. That’s why you get from always escaping from the palace instead of reading.”He raised his brows on her, “What did you say again? Did you just say that a prince like me doesn’t know a thing?” He shouted and his eyes turned red, an indication that he’s mad. He felt his hands freezing but the mysterious girl is gone and Sid appeared.“Hey moron, what are you doing right here, and why are you talking by yourself? Are you finally out of your mind?” Sid asked him. His hands stopped forming ice spears
We just finished having our dinner. I am also done taking a bath and do the things that I need to do. I sat down at the bed and got the box that Grant gave me.I automatically smiled at the thought of Grant. I opened the box and saw a necklace with a snow pendant."Whoa, it’s cute!” I took a selfie and sent it to Grant with a caption of: Thank you for this cute necklace, Grant. I appreciate.I screamed in romantic excitement, I’m sure I’m blushing right now. Who wouldn’t be when your crush gave you a gift?My phone vibrated and I saw his reply: That’s not the necklace that I gave you.I frowned and replied: What do you mean? This is the necklace inside the box.”Grant: The pendant isn’t snow, its love.I blushed at that, love as in heart? Why would he give me such?Me: Love as in a heart shaped pendant?Grant: No, let’s talk tomorrow.Me: Okay. Goodnight, Grant!”I removed the necklace right away and returned it to the box. I stood up and walked outside the house and I’m about to throw
Mama told her to use her car since it’s her day off. She asked me to drop off Daya first and I’ll accompany Triton. I nodded because it’s a hassle to commute.But Mom’s decision must be changed by some bad spirits because she told us that Triton would drive the car. I glared at Triton, “You? Are you sure you know how to drive?” I asked speculatively. He nodded and stared back at me, “I know how to drive, are you doubting me? Don’t you trust me?” I rolled my eyes in annoyance. What’s up with that guy?We rode the car silently, I mean, I was silent but Daya and he were talking.”Daya was seated in the front seat anyway. When we were already at the entrance of the school, I heard Daya with her annoying voice trying to act cute, “Kuya Triton, could you accompany me till my room? Because my teacher might get mad because I’m late.” I rolled my eyes to that and interrupted, “Daya, your class starts at 8:30 AM and it’s still 7:40 AM so you’re still early for class.”She eyed me but I didn’t
She playfully poked my waist, “I don’t believe you. Introduce me to him, Sid. He’s so hot.” She whispered to me her last words which made us giggle.Our girl classmates are all silently screaming and staring dreamily at Triton as he stood in front, “Good morning, everyone. My name is Triton Samonte. I hope we can be friends.” He showed his killer smile which made my classmates giggle.“You’re so attractive!”“Marry me, Triton!”“You’re such a catch!”“I think that you’re already the hotdog to my breadpan!”I smiled wryly as I heard them saying nonsense things, really people?“Listen everyone,” Ma’am shouted which made them shut their mouth but it was still obvious that they were talking about him.I felt that someone was looking at me so I turned to my left, only to catch Grant staring intently at me. When I caught him, he avoided my gaze and look in front.I pouted and whispered to myself, “You’re still my one and only, Grant.” But unfortunately Sarah heard me and slapped my hard on m
Sarah really sucks at acting and I could say right away that she was lying. I hissed.“Should we go there instead?” asked Grant, pointing at the table adjacent to us. “It seems like no one’s seated there so we wouldn’t be a bother to them.”But Triton was quick to ask the students passing by to sit at the table and buy whatever they want and that he would pay.What the actual fuck?And the girls, being girls, was easily swayed by his charm.What the actual fuck of fuck?So what is he doing? He's being weird. If I know that he’s in the mood to treat, then I should have asked him to pay for my food instead.He seated on his seat, “That table is now taken. No one will leave this table.” His voice was shouting danger.Sarah was laughing out loud like she was entertained by what’s happening, “Shall we eat now?” She asked in a bright smile.“What do you mean that the eldest son of the King is still alive? How sure are you with that information?” The King of Hanyang asked Prime Minister Jang
