This person is a big crazy. It's been a while since I've laughed and now the look on my face has changed. Maybe February is its birth month with crazy. It was already down in the car as I struggled what to press or turn to open the door. I'm sorry. It's my first time riding in a fancy car. My budget can only afford cars and motorbikes. I almost drowned when the car door opened on its own. Proud turned out to be a gangster. Tss. It smirked as if it was about to be teased. I hit him with an evil stare.
"Are you a mountain person? You can't even just open the car." I wanted to make fun of him just so he could kiss me again.
"I can't afford to buy such an expensive car sorry?"
"If you can insult yourself."
"You're such an insult because no one knows about such High tech mountain people right away, can't that person just be poor?"
"I don't know about you, hurry up and don't enter the gate with me."
"Assuming? Excuse me, I just got in your car. Do you think I'll want you to keep up with me all the way inside?"
"Fvck! ** I'm going to stop you like that, Reign, you always have an answer ready."
I looked up at him. "Of course, it's just stupid to be afraid to hit you." Disgusted it would approach me but someone came.
"Uhm, Cedric." A woman holding this yellow envelope handed it to Cedric.
"Get out of my sight if you don't want to give me a white stub." Its a threat.
"B-but ..." Cedric's gaze deepened. It looks like I already know that look so I pulled the woman away from the proud gangster.
"Stopped aren't you scared?" I asked calmly.
"I just want to say something to Cedric." She replied sadly as she looked at Cedric.
"Have pity on yourself, you know what happens to women like you who like him. Even if you shed blood, he will never ignore you because his heart and mind are closed to such things. Please, just wake up to the fact that there is no Cedric Kasilag who is kind and can reciprocate the way you feel. " I have a long explanation. It was crying in front of me as it read the paper that was to be given to Cedric.
"If he doesn't read it can you, just you?" My eyebrows met.
"Why me?"
"I might even listen to you if you read this."
"I'm out. We're not close to that arrogance."
"But you can be with him and talk to him, can't you? There's a chance he'll listen."
"I really don't want us both to get hurt."
"Please, this letter is very important." Sigh before taking the letter secretly.
"Thank you Reign."
"Wait! How are you ----" but it quickly went away. "How did you know my name." I am weak in self -examination.
"You just wasted saliva on that woman." I was surprised because Cedric was already behind me. I had something more to say but he immediately passed me by.
What is written here? Maybe he also confesses like most. Hey, it's good that Cedric has a lot of people who like him, even if he has a bad habit, eh? I'm just smart but I'm not beautiful and most of all I'm not rich but wait I just remembered something.
Joseph likes me and I can't help but smile because someone just made a mistake with me. That's all he's going to come in so we can meet in the room now? It didn't matter that I was excited. I went in to see him.
"Hi Joseph, good morning!" I greet happily. Just a frugal smile is the answer.
"Class, find a partner we'll go out to for an activity." I immediately hugged Joseph's arm. He would have said something more but it was too late because I was in the corner.
THE whole class came out. We arranged the chairs in a circle while there was space in the middle for the presenter.
"You already got a partner. So you will write a poem about your partner and you will also give scores to each other then I will give the rest. Increase the scores because when you become the highest score exempted. Will get it on the next exam." We shouted so I was just excited.
We quietly wrote poetry. While Joseph seems to still be easy-easy to do. Prof gave the signal to start each partner erected in the middle. Joseph didn't even touch me until we were called. I was suddenly nervous as it stared into my eyes before speaking.
"Reign first." I don't know if that smile is happy or just forced. Suddenly I felt sad because of the way he treated me. I wish he was like that.
**Friend**
** I just knew there was something different about you.
Giving pleasure to someone like me,
They may not think you are very handsome,
But you have the quality I want in a person.
Friend, I would like to ask for something.
Can you fulfill my dream?
You who dream to be with in the future.
Even in my life the prince is perfect.
You who are always by my side I am used to.
All the time it makes me happy.
And if the day ever comes that you leave.
Can I know if I will wait any longer?**
The noise of our classmates prevailed. I know a lot of people also shuddered but some made me feel bad.
"What does she mean?"
"She wants Joseph?"
"Oh my they matter!"
"Let's bet she's still modest but we'll stop!"
I made a sharp stare at some. Who are they to judge me based on the poem I made? They did not do it. They didn’t know what was on my mind. My friend Joseph and all this is true. He is important to me and I don't want him to disappear so quickly.
"Nice poem Ms. Tanhueco." He clapped as he looked at me and looked at the person next to me, "Joseph, are you ready?"
I noticed that his hand was shaking. I touched it. "You can relax for our grades and exams." It nodded once smile. He slightly lifted the paper.
** Method**
** Method-way how are you
available.
For a way to see you.
Did I like this thing?
Is this me who finally fell for you?
There is only a small place where we are,
But, why do I realize that you are far away?
Are you far from falling in love with someone like me?
That until now is friend you think?
Yes, you only consider me a friend,
But how do I feel?
I am important to you but to what extent are you referring to me?
Don't you want to lose me, like I don't want to lose you in my life?
Let me find a way,
Way how we will not be judged.
Those who hinder us let us stop.
But in what way?**
Many were watching and listening to us. I didn’t expect Cedric to be here just looking at us seriously. I was suddenly nervous that Joseph might not be sent back to the L-kingdom because of the poem he wrote so they might think I was suggesting that he should expect something from me. Slow clap professor let's go with the other students.
"He's great!"
"Our Joseph still hasn't changed, has he girls?"
"Yes! Anyone who hears such a poem will believe you very much."
I frowned at Joseph as he died maliciously at what I heard. Joseph is really kind but it's true that he used to be a really chick boy. So what he said in tulle is not true, did he just do it to increase our mark?
Joseph handed me the paper and then took the paper he was holding. It's time to judge what was done. One to ten is the score that should be put on the partner and then I gave him a perfect score while he gave me nine scores. It's not bad as long as we have nineteen scores and the Professor will just give us what we have to wait for. Once we reached for the paper it smiled and spoke.
"Why did you give him a perfect score?"
"He's a good poet." I replied, nodding at once to glance at Joseph.
"Nine scores are yours, aren't you really impressed with his work?" I waited for its answer but the duration answered.
"It's beautiful." Is that your only answer? Seriously?
Thought he had more to say but that it was sitting next to our classmate.
"Okay, after all, I both like your work. I'll give you ten points."
I confronted my classmates and even Joseph. I thumbs up but he just nods. I lost the energy to do it because I wasn’t used to it. I'm not used to him being like that to me it's so cold.
** JOSEPH'S POINT OF VIEW **
I do NOT like the poem she made. What is she implying? Does she know I feel anything for her? Young Master even heard our poem, maybe so he changed his mind and then I will leave the Lucifer Kingdom. Sad then. Hey, I can't if I lose a friend.
"We're exempted from our exam. Great Job Joseph." Reign opened while holding the poem we made.
"Good."
"Are you okay?" She asked sadly.
"It's okay."
"But that's not how I feel." I bent down and adjusted my button. I stopped her but it was too late.
"If you have a problem with me you can say I'm not angry, it's okay for you to say."
"I have a problem but not you don't think of anything."
"Let's have lunch at the tree together." She pointed to our hangout.
"Okay." I just followed. It fixed the big cloth after unloading the foods I was carrying.
"Cedric slipped, I mean that's why he asked for a meeting so that Lucifer can break up with Viper. The reason is because there is a member who likes Viper." My heart pounded.
"I love you to-say he says who?"
"Yes." It’s still seriously eating. "Don't worry I'm not angry and I'm actually still happy."
That she was excited? Why?
"It's just the first time someone likes me. Thank you." I blink.
Is she serious? How nice of her to finish just the first time? I do not believe.
"Maybe they just don't admit it."
"Like you?" I was stunned with grief. She handed me a tissue. "Why Joseph? Why did you like me?"
"Is it still necessary?"
"Of course."
"Nevermind."
"I want to know."
"Don't."
"I want us to go back to your usual close up, talking needlessly, and laughing."
"We're still like that?"
"I'm still the same but you're not. You're weird. You're the one who wants to change."
"How do you feel for me?" wait, wrong, wrong, my chatter really is.
"You're kind Joseph. I'm even grateful to you because I've known you. You always defended me whenever I was in the bully series. Until now, you've been very good to me so when I found out you liked me --- I was worried."
"Are you going to avoid me?"
"No, it's not like that I'm just worried because you might be the one to avoid me. Like Cedric said you can just go back to the Lucifer kingdom but you'll stay away from me."
She watched me take a very deep breath until I exhaled. Reign worries about me but it's hard to weigh.
"If I choose how I feel, do I have any hope of making you happy?"
"Huh?"
"Nothing." I'm back to eating.
"You're important to me Joseph. It's funny but I've never experienced loving a man." I almost laughed. "It's okay, don't stop laughing because it's really funny." She laughed out loud.
That's what I liked about this woman simple but combative. She's not like simple women bored with but it's something strange about her. There is always a smile on my face and there is always a story of what it is that is the reason why I have always wanted her.
