The End

Chapter Five

feel shy. My face turned red. Blood seemed to rise and fall in my body. I quickly ran from the room. I smiled like someone who had lost his sanity.

Until I didn't realize I had bumped into someone's shoulder. Luckily that person was Leon, my best friend.

"Leon?! Sorry!” I said still smiling.

“Jes, why are you smiling like that?!”

"Ah, no. There is not anything!"

"I do not believe it?!"

"Right?! There is not anything?!"

"Okay?...Jes, can we talk?" Leon said with a slightly serious face.

"Yes of course."

"Jes, actually I have kept this feeling for a long time..

"Jes, do you love me?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Do you like me too?"

I was confused, but I replied, “Of course!”.

"Then will you be my lover?"

At that moment I was silent. Sculpting. Surprised. Leon misunderstood the meaning of my words.

"Jess?"

"Sorry. Leon.. Sorry in advance. But it seems you misunderstood what I meant. I do love you, but love it for a friend. And to me, you're like a brother."

"So... you don't have those feelings for me?"

He looks disappointed. I feel so guilty.

"I'm so sorry, Leon. I didn't mean to disappoint you. But for now, it doesn't seem like that feeling I have for you. I apologize.."

He was silent. Seems to be thinking about something.

"Alright, it's fine. I 'wouldn't' possible and 'never' force you to like me. Because I deserve it.”

“I'm really sorry..”

“Hey, never mind! I am not angry! It does not matter! Lets smile!"

I smile for him. “I really admire a friend like you. You are good at understanding people. You think more mature. Well, even though your outer appearance looks rough and hard, you actually have a soft heart. I'm lucky to have a friend like you?"

“Jes, enough, enough! Don't praise me too much. It feels like my ears have grown!? I'm not that good?!.. Then, is there someone you like?”

"There is." I smile.

"Oh yeah?! Who? Do I know him?!”

"Maybe you know. He's my classmate, his name is Rinchard."

"Rinchard. Erm.." He tried to find out. "Oh he?! Yes, I know him!”

"I like it."

"I'm sure, sooner or later he will confess his feelings to you!?"

"Why do you speak so confidently?"

"Of course! What boy wouldn't be attracted to a girl as sweet and gentle as you! Unless he's blind."

"Ha ha ha! I'm not that good! But, thanks for the compliment. Then I'll go first, okay. Last night Carla asked for help to get the timesheet from the office."

"Ok?!.. (Jeslyn.. Very sweet, just like her name. But honey, this sweet girl hasn't opened a little door in her heart for me.. But I'm sure, one day the small door will open)".
