1040 Words
Three months since the beginning of the school year but Cyrus still ignores me. I don't know what to do any more until one day, In our Math class, Mrs. Ramos give as a task to be submitted the next day. As what happens when we become classmates the first time, we become groupmates. I want to panic, I do not know what to do! I don't know what to say! Luckily, Cyrus approaches me first, " So what's my part?", he asked me. I am so happy because finally, he's not avoiding me anymore. "Thanks to you my dear Mathematics!, are these how you thank me for admiring your subject for a long time until now?" We began to plan our given task and I was so inspired to make it with him. We finish our task and submitted it on time and we got the best task being submitted. I'm so happy, my Mr. Gamer is back and I'm doing very well in class. From that moment our friendship turns back and even more. We started again to have late nights conversations and he becomes sweeter than before. He shows me how he cares about me. One night, he confesses his feelings to me. I was shocked and shaking. He liked me too and the reason why he ignored me for almost half a year is that he gets jealous of Bon, my best friend. I told him that he should not get jealous because I don't have any feelings towards Bon and he was the one that I liked, that I loved rather. It turns out that he got a crush on me since the first time we became classmates. I told him that I liked him since I was in my first year of high school. He asked forgiveness for ignoring me for a long time and now he doesn't want to lose me anymore. He asked me too if he can be my first suitor in where I agree quickly. Such a damn weak girl! I told him about the rule and he said that we share the same rule so it is okay to hide our relationship first. When my best friends discover about me and Cyrus they warned me that Cyrus may just be using me to gain high grades because I would admit he is not smart but I fight for him and tell my best friends that there is nothing to worry about. I think Cyrus is serious about us so I did not listen to any of them. Cyrus and I always find time to be with each other at school and make a long convo at night that sometimes reaches until midnight. One night, I receive a message from him," I LOVE YOU", I don't know what to reply. I turn off my phone and go to bed. In the morning he waited for me at the gate when he asks me if why I didn't reply any more last night, I pretend that my phone got a low battery, therefore, I just go to bed early. He did not ask for more explanation anymore. When we arrived at our room I immediately go to my best friends and tell them about the message because I don't know what to do but my situation gets worst. When my best friends know about it they dare me to say I LOVE YOU TOO into Cyrus. I know I'm too shy to do that but I want to say those words to him anyway. My situation got worst again when Cyrus find out about the dare. He told me that when I say those words to him and made the dare it means that I am accepting his love already and we will become an official couple. I don't know what to say at that time. One day my best friends invited me to hang out at Bon's house and I invited Cyrus to join us. We need to cross a bridge in order to reach Bon's house and I decided to take the dare in the middle of the bridge. When we're about to cross the bridge already I pull Cyrus towards me and tell him to walk with me. The middle of the bridge is approaching and I think I'm ready to take the dare. When we are already in the middle I make him stop and listen to me. I am so nervous! but I have to do it. I grab his hand but I was shaking, then, " I... I... I LOVE YOU TOO!!!" I was so shy. I'm waiting for his reaction. Eventually, he smiles at me then laughs."Your so cute Mahal" he whispered at me. Mahal is a Filipino word that means " love". "Mahal?" I asked. "Yes because from now on your my only love and I always want to call you Mahal" he replied. Such a kilig moment! We continue our steps and share the good news with our friends but we reminded them not to tell anybody. Finally, I'm living outside the rule. It was such a good feeling to love and to be love and to be accepted and appreciated by the man of your dreams. At the age of sixteen, I have my first boyfriend. My Mr. Gamer is now mine officially on this sixth day of March!Cyrus is my first crush, my first love, and my first boyfriend and I wish he will be the last too. The end of the school year is on April 3 already and we know that when the school year ends we will be able to see each other anymore so we cherish every moment we are together. I finish my Junior High with him. I also achieved my goals because I am still the first honor of our batch until we graduated. During graduation, Cyrus gave me a silver-ring and told me that the ring symbolizes his love for me and the promise that whatever happens, he will always be mine forever. After graduation, I was so worried because I will not always see him anymore because we are in a secret relationship but all we can do is trust each other.
