Crazy kind of Crush
"I didn't just earn a friend, ….I gained a brother…"
Well each of my friends has a weird story of how we became friends and each of those stories are special to me, but one of those stories was so unique to me because I didn't just earn a friend, in the end I gained a brother in faith.
It was the first day as a junior and I was so excited because this year I can go to prom.
I talked with my old friends and met some new classmates too but there was one who was so quiet at his first day, Edwin. Well, I didn't notice him but everyone else did. They said he was cute but I never noticed since I never looked at him but it made me wonder if he really was what they call "cute".
I studied his face for days and I didn't think that he was so I stopped looking at him coz people might think that I like him. Well at least I tried to stop but I didn't, I saw myself still constantly watching him and I realized, I like him. And I was having a silly crush on him as a result of watching him because of the curiosity of what other people thought of him.
Well, it was weird because it only lasted a month or two but in that period of time, a lot of things happened.
2 weeks after I knew I liked him I heard the rumor of his secret crush, who turns out to be a close friend of mine, Iya; short, pretty and smart. And I was actually surprised that I was hurt when I knew about it. I never really knew that I would be.
After that day I thought of a great plan of how I can get rid of liking him; Become his close friend and I won't have feelings for him. But I didn't know how and I thought that it might be impossible because we never really talked much.
Weeks later I was actually successful, I became closer to him each and everyday as a friend and I can feel that liking him was getting out of my options.
It started just coincidently sitting next to him, then talking to the girl he likes for him, then, we started talking on the phone bout projects, homeworks then just chatting bout crazy stuff and at exactly a month I realized I don't like him anymore and I already accepted the fact that it should never be.
But I'm really glad that now were close friends and people teasing us doesn't bother me because I know that I only see him as a friend, it might have bothered me when I still liked him, right now all I can say to them is "LOL"
Too bad he had to leave this year, he moved to Seattle because of his dad's work. Sometimes I feel guilty because he has the guts to tell me everything because I'm like his adviser now but I can't, till the end even before he left I never told him that I liked him, I don't know, I just can't.
The best part he was left this place happy because he liked another girl named Risa, she was a year younger than us but we go to the same church that's why I liked her for him more than Iya because it turns out, Iya had a secret boyfriend in Dubai and it only ended in her hurting him. But maybe he's also sad for leaving Risa. Okey not 'maybe', 'definitely'.
As for me, since we became close friends I moved on to a happier life, presently, I have a boyfriend, Charles, and I can say he's almost perfect, almost coz there's no such thing as a perfect guy, the part of two people being together makes everything perfect.
