"2 Years"

"Ha??? Wha.., whattt??? Did I hear you wrong?? Mr. Jackson will you please say it again. I think I misheard you or something." Rosie became more confused that she started stuttering. She can't believed it that's why she want to hear it again.

Jackson smiled gently then said, "Tsk... I can't believed you had a bad hearing... Well just forget it if don't heard it."

After that he patted Rosie's head then turn around to leave but Rosie immediately grab a hold of his hand.

"Wait, well just so know I actually heard it but I just want to confirm if I heard it right or I'm just hallucinating or something. To tell you, the truth is I just want to confess my feelings but I didn't expect anything in return and I really didn't expect it to be like this. You know... I just thought that it will only be me confessing and not the other way around. Also I already told myself to get ready for any type of rejections or silent treatment that I will receive from you so I'm not prepared for this kind of response." After saying that she saw that she is still holding his hand so she immediately let go of it.

"Oh I'm sorry it is not that I want to hold your hand, I just thought that if you leave now I will lose my opportunity to talk to you and clarify things."

After a moment of silenced Jackson started to speak.

"Well you heard it right and just as I told you a moment ago, you're still young so stop thinking about this for now, alright? Let's just talk about this when the right time comes."

"How will I be able to stop thinking about this when you already told me your feelings. There's no way that I will be able to stop myself from thinking of you." Rosie complained.

"Did you already forgot that you're the one who asked me about the girl that I like, well I just answered your question." Jackson answered in as a matter of fact tone.

"I.. I know that, I just didn't expect you to be this straightforward. I know nothing will change between us for now but I'm willing to wait for another two years. But while doing so can we atleast exchange our phone numbers. Maybe we can start by being friends first since we still don't know each other well." Rosie said then handed her phone to Jackson.

Since they already knew their feelings for each other and decided to wait. Rosie will not miss her chance to get to know Jackson better and get closer to him.

"You can also give me your phone so I can save my number, also from now I hope that we can be friends and stop using honorifics when addressing each other. Please call me by my name but don't worry since you're still older than me I will still address you properly otherwise my parents and other people will think that I have been disrespectful towards you." Rosie added.

"Alright, we can do what you want." Jackson replied.

After they exchange their numbers, they also bid farewell to each other then Rosie immediately went back to her room.

"Ahhhh..... I can't believed it. Am I dreaming... hahahaha.., I'm so happy."

Rosie shouted but in a low voice because she's afraid the her parents will be startled when she scream.

Since she can't over with kind of feeling she decided to call her bestfriend Lienne.

"Lienne I think today is my lucky day, I'm so so so happy." Rosie said as soon as Lienne pick up her phone.

"What are you so happy about? Is it because you got high grades and been in the 3rd place in students ranking? Well I also surprised when I so the results, you really did great this time so I'm also happy for you. And I was just about to call you to congratulate you but you already called me." Lienne answered.

"Not only because of that, well of course I'm happy about my grades, I also didn't expect that I can be good in studying but there's another reason why I'm so happy today. Do you remember what I told you after our exams last week. The reason why I studied so hard and the confession that I will make if I got a good result in our exam?" Rosie asked happily, she can't wait to tell the result of her confession.

"Oh about that, yes I remembered it now that you reminded me.. Since you already know your exam results... wait don't tell me that you already confess to him??" Lienne rounded her eyes with shocked, she can't believed that Rosie will really do that.

"Well yes I already did... At first I was so nervous but after that it feels like a heavy burden was lifted from my chest. And the result of my confession was really unexpected because he told me that he also like me and I'm his ideal girl!!!" Rosie was so happy that she can't stop herself from jumping in her bed.

"Really??? But how?? What did he tell you?? Quick tell me don't left me hanging here." Lienne urge Rosie to tell her more about the details.

Rosie then tell her everything leaving no details out.

"Well that's it, I already told you everything, now I will just have to wait for two years and study hard." Rosie said after almost half an hour of story telling.

"Wow I'm so happy for you my dear friend, at last you can now put an end to your unrequited crush for 6 months. At least you can now relax and put your heart at ease, not only that you now have a reason and motivation to study hard. Congrats Rosie your first love confession was a success. Well I wish you best of luck." Lienne said, she was indeed a supportive friend.

"Thank you Lienne, since it was already our school break I hope we can hang out next time." Rosie said.

"Sure why not, maybe one of these days. Well I have to go now since I have a date later. Because you know I'll gonna need some time to prepare.. hahaha." Lienne said happily.

"Okay bye... make sure to introduce him to me some other time." Rosie said then hung up. She is now lying on her bed staring at the ceiling, her smile still didn't fade away.

After a few moments she looked through her cellphone then an idea crosses her mind, she immediately replaced the way Jackson's name was saved to her phone to "2 years."
