Days passed...
Months passed...
Still, this month of October, nothing bad has happened to our friendship... Moreover, I'm very glad of it. It's like they're my second family now that the 3 of us can be compared to sibling already. I don't have feelings for Lass and Ronan. I just treat them like my big brothers. Ronan being the eldest, Lass the middle and me, the youngest.
Yeah, the three of us are like glue, stuck to each other always. Well most of the times, Ronan and I tease Lass. Yet, I can't help but feel sorry for my actions towards the silver-haired boy. I just can't help myself tease him...
Second periodical exam's nearing. The test is scheduled at the second week of October. Yet, I still haven't been able to review for the test. When I entered the classroom, the first thing that I did was to bow my head and take a nap. Suddenly, I feel like someone's poking his/her/ finger at my arm. I looked up tiredly and saw Lass, poking my arm. I noticed that his face really has a red color and his face somehow looks nervous.
"Umm... What is it?" I asked, looking at the boy in front of me.
I saw his face redden as I asked my question. I cocked my head in question, not getting what he's about to say to me. Honestly, I really don't have a clue as to what he's gonna say. "Arme, t-there's somet-thing I n-need to te-tell you..." Lass stammered, getting very red.
I gave a sympathetic smile. I feel sorry for him, having a hard time to tell what he's gonna say. "Just tell me ok? I won't divulge it to everyone."
He suddenly pulled me closer until he's sure no one will completely hear what he's about to say. "Well, you see..." Lass suddenly cut off, embarrassed. "I have a crush to you..." he confessed.
I suddenly gave a gasp. My eyes very wide. Is he serious? Since when did he suddenly felt something to me? I teased him several times mercilessly and then, he has that feeling for me? Sure, I told myself that I'm ugly. My attitude's bad. But this? I'm not expecting someone having feelings at me!
I looked at him, a sad expression planted on my face. I feel really sorry for him, hurting him this much. "Lass, I'm... I'm sorry because I don't feel the same way you feel at me." I said, looking at him.
His sapphire eyes blinked several times. This time, I couldn't tell the expressions that are hidden inside him but two expressions are certain: hurt and sadness. "Oh..." the silver-haired boy said, biting his lip. I could see he's controlling his emotions. Finally, he said, "It... It's ok Arme..." Lass whispered at he, giving me a smile. He smiled at me, to hide the hurt he's feeling the most. "But we can be still be friends, right?"
I gave him an encouraging smile. "Of course!" I grinned to lessen the tension between him and me.
Now, he regained his posture and sat down beside me. We talked about random subjects until the school bell rang. He didn't stood up because he was seated behind me. Suddenly, the teacher arrived and Lass went to his seat. I sighed. At least, English is always story-telling time. Of course, all students listened since the story's interesting. Finally, the bell rang again and I went outside to eat with Elesis.
...
Daily life at school always had the same expressions. Lass looked perfectly fine, during lunch break and class. Maybe he's still hiding his feelings until now. The three of us continued talking, Ronan most of the times. He always boasts to us the great accomplishments he got in playing these games but Lass and I felt nothing.
"Ok class. See you tomorrow." the teacher rose from her chair as the bell started ringing. Yeah, most of the students also rose from their chairs and went to their lockers where they keep their books. After I placed all my books inside my locker, I picked up my purple bag and went out of the room. There, I saw Elesis waiting for me outside.
"Want to eat 'lesie?" I asked her.
The ruby-eyed girl gave a wide grin. "So much! I'm so hungry!" both of us laughed and went downstairs.
...
...
I feel very excited yet, nervous at the same time. I sat on my chair, waiting for Arme. This day, I'm gonna confess my feeling for her. The two of us, including Ronan, are like my second family now. The 3 of us are like glue, always stuck together. Inseparable. Because of that question, the 3 of us became very deeply involved to each other's lives. Well, you could say that the two of them tease me most of the times but that has nothing to do with my feelings for them. I just let those teasing pass by, like a rustle of wind.
The door opened, cutting off my thoughts, and I saw a familiar purple-haired girl. Arme... Man, I wish that she won't bust me to what I'm going to tell her... I stood up from my chair and walk towards her. She bowed her head, not noticing that I was beside her when I stood up. I poked her arm gently several times, awakening her. She looked at me with a tired face.
"What is it?" Arme asked.
My cheeks suddenly grew hot. At the same time, my heart's pounding madly as if I'm having an attack. Now, my face looks like a tomato because of the intense red color. I looked at her nervously and said, "Arme, t-there's somet-thing I n-need to te-tell you..." I felt my face grew hot again.
"Just tell me ok? I won't divulge it to everyone." Arme smiled sympathetically at me.
I pulled her closer to me until I'm sure no one will be able to hear both of us before I confessed my feelings for her. I saw Arme gasp and her shining amethyst eyes widened in shock. Few moments later, she looked at me, her shocked expression turning to a sad one. Oh man, I don't like this sign from her...
"Lass, I'm... I'm sorry because I don't feel the same way you feel at me." Arme said, her words stabbing my heart into a million times. Her words cut deep inside me. I controlled my emotions and breathed deeply before plastering a smile on my face.
"It... It's ok Arme..." I said, my heart continued to crumble. I feel like my world will wither away when I heard her say those. "But we can still be friends, right?"
There, I can see Arme smiling brightly. Her smile, an encouraging one that lights up the darkness... That gives a ray of hope when you feel like you don't have a chance anymore... "Of course!" she grinned cutely. Well, at least those words healed my heart a little. The most important thing, we can still be friends...
I sat down beside her, talking about random subjects until the bell rang. I didn't bother returning to my seat right away because I'm seated right behind her. A few minutes later, our class adviser went inside and all of us stood up to greet her good morning. We sat down and the lesson began but, I couldn't focus properly... My thoughts were on the incident earlier. I couldn't get it out of my mind and it really hurts from the inside, though I managed to plaster an expressionless mask on my face but on the inside, I wanted to cry...
The bell rang, immediately cutting off my thoughts. I sighed, seeing Arme dash out of the room and waiting for Elesis. Nothing much to do in a 15-minute break than to take a nap.
...
Daily life at school... It's normal but not this day... Never have I felt normal when I confessed to Arme my feelings unlike the past days. When Ronan speaks to me and Arme, kept saying comments on him as to not let them worry why I'm too quiet. There are sometimes he teases me and Arme for being so week. And for that, I just laugh it off. I don't care, at least both of them still make me happy.
"Ok class. See you tomorrow." the teacher rose from her chair and exited the room. The students also rose from their chair and headed to their lockers. Since I don't have a single care about my books, I left them under my chair for the lesson tomorrow. I saw Arme exit the room. She told me earlier that she's going to eat with Elesis after school at some nearby fast food. I wanted to go eat with them as well but I don't have much money with me. I picked up my blue bag and walked out of the room. Man, going home with your heart continuing to crumble to fine bits of dust when your crush rejected you isn't the best idea I tell you. Yeah, I went home alone, without someone. Why is it that I wasn't given a second chance? Why? I breathed deeply, feeling determined. No, I'm not giving up on you Arme. Someday, you'll be mine.
...
