Author: SequoiaIn life, you gotta learn how to weigh things down and let go of the things just to achieve your goals in life. Because no matter how much you want it, things just don't work the way you want it to be.
I entered our school campus with a very messy hair and run as fast as I could. It was already 8:30 a.m and I am obviously late with our first subject. I almost reached our classroom when I accidentally bumped into someone that caused me to land in my butt. I am so ready to yell that person when I realized that it was my ultimate crush. I almost fainted when I saw his angelic face. Such a great way to die. I came back to my senses when he wave his hand in front of my face and asked me if I am okay.
“No, I am not okay, I think I am having a heart attack because of you.”
“What?”
My eyes widened. Did I just say it out loud? Shoot! Great! I can feel my face turning red so I decided to make my way out from that embarrassing moment and left him hanging. I reached our classroom and almost cried out of frustration and my stupidity. We have no class because today is Valentine’s day and the school will celebrate it. Am I that stupid to not realize what day is it? So, that means that I skipped my breakfast since I am in a hurry, for nothing? *facepalm*
Due to my great frustration, I went to the canteen to buy some foods to feed the dragons in my stomach. I was so busy eating my burger and fries when a person approached me and gave me a sunflower. I accepted the flower even if I am so confused if it is really for me. The man just left without even saying a word.
I just stare at the flower for 2 minutes. I noticed a paper at the back of the flower and read it. “Stop looking down and start looking around.” I don’t know why but I also looked around and I almost choked when I saw Josh, my ultimate crush smiling and walking in my direction.
I smiled when I realized that I am having a day dream again. But instead of waking myself up from this hallucination, I even go with it. I looked at the man of my dream and waited for him patiently as he walks gracefully towards me.
“Did you like the flower?”
“Absolutely, it’s my favourite actually.” I gave him my sweetest smile.
“Great. Actually, I am so nervous. I thought that you would just reject it.”
“Reject? I’ll definitely not do that dear.”
“Ahm, Mary. There’s something I wanna tell you.”
“Sure, what is it?”
“I like you. A lot”
“Oh, really? I like you too Josh. So much. If only I could say that to you in person”
Upon hearing what I’ve said, his smiling face slowly disappears and was replace by confusion.
“Huh? What are you saying?”
“You know what! I always wish that this will also happened in reality. But I know that it is so impossible.”
“Mary? This is reality.”
I laughed at him at the imaginary Josh in front of me.
“No, you are not real. I am just day drea-“
I almost lost my consciousness when a ball hit my face.
“Mary! Are you fine?”
My body froze when I heard his voice and realized that I wasn’t daydreaming and it is true.
________________________
I am now a third year high school student and Josh is already in 4th year and 8 months from now, he will already finish high school. I am so happy for him. We can’t help ourselves but laughed every time we remembered that epic scene one year ago. We’ve been in a mutual understanding situation right now. You know that? More than friends but less than lovers. We are just in the middle. Playing safe. Actually, he’s been asking me if we could bring it to another level and make it official, but I am not just ready to commit yet. Aside from that, I am not yet allowed to enter a relationship. My family would kill me if they will find out about us. I am glad that he understands me with that.
Everything about us just went smoothly not until Mitch came in the story.
