Act I: I like you so much I don't know how

On the first day of school, everyone is looking for their classroom, and I'm looking for the TBA room. I've looked around before, but I still don't see TBA. "Hey! Are you lost?" said someone as he approached my man. He was attractive, but he was clearly waving a red signal.

I'm sure many women have shed tears as a result of him. "I can help you," he replied as he snatched the student copy from my grasp without saying anything.

"Wow! We're both in the same class; come on, the class is about to start."

He grabbed my hand and we dashed up to the third level. I'm not sure what it was, but I felt like electricity and my heartbeat instantly increased.

This is what I mean. I can't fall in love with someone I've only just met. When we got to the other side of the classroom, he let go of my hand.

"Wait! My student copy," I said this time, holding his hand to keep him from walking away. He simply grinned and handed the paper to me. I took it right away. "Oh, thank you, Mr.?" I asked, smiling, "I forgot to tell you my name, Trigo Sandoval." He extended his right hand for a handshake. I accepted it right away. "Sky... Alvarez."

We've become friends since then, and I've begun to hide my emotions from him.

"Sky to Earth!"

I was astonished when someone cried, "I've been calling you before, but I can't hear you. You're stunned there."

Edward remarked, standing next to me now, playfully raising his eyebrows. I sighed. They kept taunting the engineering lady I constantly talked to, especially because I knew her since high school and she was my dormmate. How could I ignore her? they believed she was my crush.

"Let's return to our original topic." I'm attempting to alter the subject. My colleagues simply laughed. "Oh Sky, accept it because you're already flirting with her," Noah stated as he approached me.

"I told you! she was not-"

"Oh, our lover boy has already here," Noah cried,

Trigo arrived before I could finish talking. "How's the date, dear king? Is she still furious with you?" They laughed. I was just trying to put on a poker face. "Can you tell me what our topic is?" I said before Trigo could speak.

I didn't want to hear what he had to say since I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight because I would be in tears. They only glanced at me and then we changed the subject; I shifted a little so that Tri could sit next to me; even if I can't admit it, I still need to be a good buddy of his.

Edward raised his voice to refocus my attention on him. We discussed the role-playing we will do in our subject when we are in college because we still have this type of work like high school and choose your own members so we are friends in our group but Trigo should be in the other group because he was absent last time he dated his girlfriend so he asked to swap with Robin because he didn't want to be separated from us.

"You look to be thinking deeply; is there a problem?" said the person next to me. I was jolted. "Nothing, I'm just thinking about how I can help with the play," I said, feeling him sigh,

"I know I'm not blind and I can see."

Recently, I've been thinking about the matter. "I've observed that you're avoiding me or keeping your distance from me," he said quietly. I'd like to say he was my issue, but how do I get rid of the worthless sentiments I have for him? There's no hope, because I like him much more now.

I know I'm a man, and he's a man, too. I'm sorry, but destiny is just mad with me. I tried for two years to like other people, but nothing worked. It was like if I were standing in a lofty structure, and if I fell, I didn't know if he would catch me or let me fall.

The meeting had ended as well, and because we still had an hour to kill, we hung around in the cafeteria for wifi. I took out my phone to check my social media.

There are important characters in a play. You are the protagonist in this play, but I will never be one of your key starring roles.

JuneOne: Do you have a problem Skybear?

Codeof:  love again?

Barbarian: Gays! I miss you! Let's meet! just drink some wine, my bear so you can forget about him.

AthenaDaGoddess: I'm the only one you love Sky !!

I laughed at my former high school classmates' shenanigans. "Hey! maybe he was talking to that engineer, so that's the amount of his smile." I hurled paper at Noah, Trigo, and others who were just sitting there watching.

"you're crazy! I just recalled something," I exclaimed, lying.

"Lie! If I were you, Sky, I'd pursue her to ensure she's mine. Because you're so attractive, I'm sure she'll respond straight soon.... " Jacob wrapped his arm around my shoulders and said,

"...and we'll help you, won't we, Trigo?"

We looked at Trigo, who was sitting quietly next to us, and he just nodded in response, but then he stood up and said, "I have to go. Maybe Trixie is waiting outside. We still have a date." He didn't wait for us to say anything and left right away.

"So, what's his issue? I'm just curious." Jacob was furious. "What are you talking about?" Edward asked. "He was jealous because you were going to find a new husband for his wife."

They laughed once more. Why were they the ones who launched the wife-husband trend? They joked that the couple would fight once because Trigo and I got into a fight every time we fought. It's all Edward's fault, because I was the one who was always the woman, or wife, in our first-year roleplay.

"Are you satisfied with that?" I deadpanned him.

"Here you guys should go first, and I'll just go to 7/11 to purchase yogurt." I instantly stood up and arranged my bags before saying farewell to them. I'll return to school later. I need to relax first. I really don't want to expect him to like me, but from what he's shown, I'm not sure what to think.

I sat in an empty seat near the window after paying the cashier. I've run out of steam. Except for him, I have a lot of concerns on my mind right now. I have another issue that has to be addressed, so that's what I'll focus on first.

"Excuse me, are you with someone?" I shook my head. "Can I sit here? The others are full, and this one is empty." He smiled at me, and I nodded in response. He placed his laptop on the table, along with the food he had purchased, and sat on the opposite side of the table, facing me.

I merely stared at him, yet something in me felt like we'd met before. "Is there dirt on my face?" he said, and I averted my gaze. "Nothing," I responded, focusing my attention on the street outside the store, where several students were walking and some were jogging, possibly late for class.

I was surprised to see Trigo accompanying Trixie. Smiling and ready to hold hands as if they were the only people in the world, they came to a halt exactly in front of the window where I was seated.

Trigo kissed Trixie on the cheek before they finally left. I can't help but feel jealous that I wasn't there, but what can I do if I admit I want him and our friendship is ruined? The issue of this circumstance is that I hope there is a method for me to reset my emotions such that I no longer have feelings for Trigo.
