It’s already 1:00 a. m. but still, I’m fully awake because my mind can’t stop thinking about Heaven at this moment. Isn’t it possible for me to like him?
Ever since that I saw a different version of him, he’s always been gentle and caring for me. When we were young, he’s already like that. He wants to make sure that I’m always happy and whenever there is a little change on my behaviour, he’ll immediately notice that and ask if I am okay.
If not Fire, I guess it would’ve been Heaven that I’ll have a crush on. He’s also handsome but no one could deny that Fire’s really close to perfection ever since when we were kids. He’s also kind and always concerned about me so now that I’m reminiscing our past, I can’t help but to ask myself – why didn’t I had a crush on Heaven?
I sat down on my bed because I really can’t sleep right now and the first thing that I saw is our project that I did after we did our wood handicraft. There were excess in Popsicle sticks so I decided to use them as our main board where I attached the floral wires and curved our names using it.
Heaven and Hell
I smirked on the thought of it sounded so romantic even though it is just our names written on it. But isn’t it romantic? Just like our names, we’re also opposite. Well, at least then. He was so cold that he chose not to talk with anyone just because he wanted to avoid me but I am there, being scolded by the gangsters because I’m talking with everyone even though I don’t know any idea about them. Isn’t it ironic how I was the heaven there and he was the hellish type?
I tried to divert my attention by opening my social media applications that I haven’t seen since I entered here. Messages from my friends before welcomed me and they were all looking for me. I forgot to inform them about my transfer and I felt really sorry so I replied everyone saying that I’ve already transferred.
I then saw my notifications and what caught my attention were my friend requests.
Heaven Ricaforte wants to add you on Facebook.
I don’t know but reading his name right now is making me feel awkward. Is it because I really like him? But how? Why? Or am I just making myself feel awkward by thinking that I like him?
I brushed my thoughts and decided to just accept his friend request together with the other guys’ requests. I guess I should be active by now.
I forced myself to sleep even though my mind is really active at this time. Soon enough, I found myself finally resting.
I was awakened when someone knocked on my door. My first instinct is to look at the time and saw that I woke up late this time so I immediately stood up and opened my door.
It was Heaven. By the looks of it, he just got out of the bathroom after taking his bath.
“Let’s eat?” He invited me over. I just nodded as an answer because I really want to avoid him as much as I can because I can feel that I might really fall for him if we continue being attached with each other.
I started walking to the kitchen without saying anything. I brushed my teeth and chose to take the seat beside Leaf than the one beside Heaven.
“Sorry for waking up late,” I apologetically told them while getting my food. “Who cooked this?” I asked because I am usually the one cooking for us but since I woke up late, I’m glad that someone stepped up for my absence.
“Heaven did,” Fire answered which made me feel awkward again.
I don’t understand myself why I find everything awkward about him. It’s as if everything associated to him is asking me if I really like him and I can’t even answer because I don’t know the answer.
“By the way, I’ll go ahead now. I’ll have to assist Ice in handling our project,” Fire said and everyone nodded awkwardly because her name was mentioned.
When Fire already left, I ate faster because I’ll have to take a bath after eating so that we won’t be late. Heaven and Wind already took their bath and it’s just Leaf and I who has not yet taken our baths yet.
“Go take your bath first. Wind and I still have something to fix on our project,” Leaf informed me so immediately after eating; I proceeded to the bathroom to take my bath.
We were all rushing towards our class after we’re all settled because we’re almost late now. They are not saying anything but I can feel that it was my fault on as to why we’re rushing this way. If I didn’t wake up late, I guess our breakfast could’ve been prepared earlier.
“Our shells kept on breaking so it was really a hassle for us,” Leaf told me while we are walking.
“Hey! Speaking of... where’s our project?” Wind asked him and only then, they realized that they forgot their project at our unit.
“Go in our class now. We need to go back to our unit,” Leaf said and even before we could react, they already ran going back to our unit.
I was left with Heaven and it really felt awkward. None of us wanted to talk until he decided to break the silence.
“You’re avoiding me,” he said with a sad tone in his voice.
“I’m not,” I lied. Of course I lied.
“You are,” he insisted as if he’s really sure about it. “Did I do something wrong?”
“No!” I said in a high pitch voice for him not to think that way especially that I am the problem.
“Then you’re really falling in love with me, huh?” He suddenly changed his aura and started teasing me.
I was about to argue with him until a van stopped beside us and the next thing I know, everything went black.... again.
