Chapter 3 (2/2)
I laughed at Alex's reaction but I was stopped by her next question
”Do you love him?”
I wanted to ignore her question but she was looking intently at ht that I would thankSir Cortez because he bid his farewell to our class and dismiss us
”Goodbye and thank you, Mr Cortez See you tomorrow Classmates, study your lessons”
I went out of the classroom and evaded Alex I was bothered by her question even till I went home You see, even I don't know the answer
Love? It's corny But why then did I answer Nate? Nothing Maybe I was just curious to have a boyfriend?
Since I was alith Nate, I began to know him little by little The old airy [11] Nate? He ept away by the windAnd actually, he became more childish So cute; you just want to squeeze
”Let's go, coo to the rooftop for a while now Eh, the place is so far, I
”What do you want to say, anyway? Just say it here It's so tiring to walk the stairs” I complained I was about to sit at the stairs when he pulled me to stand
”Don't sit!”
”I'm tired”
”This child is so kulit [12]”
I started to get nervous when he suddenly carried me
”Uy, what are you doing?”
”My girlfriend is lazy; I'll just carry her then”
I was still co le, I can see the hole of his nose In fairness, it's so clean right now
I just remained silent for the rest of the walk until we reached the rooftop
”Let go of me already!”
He leta little bit sick because ere at the side and ere really high above
”I have a question” He started
”What?”
He gave me a smile as he wraps his arm around my shoulders, ”What type of man do you like?”
”Ha? Why?” I oddly asked
”Just answer it What type of man do you like?”
I was thinking But I didn't have any idea
”Uh, but when I met you, I already have one”
”Oh, you! You're so flirty!”
I laughed when he flutter his eyes He even weakly pushed me continually
”You're a feeler [13], ah? I just realized that my type is actually the opposite of you That's why it's so bad, eh” I said, laughing
I was surprise when he hitand hit hih until we both went quiet I just stared at the heaven- naks [14], heavenEverything remeained quiet until he pushed me!
”What are you doing?” I tightly grip his shoulder, ”I almost fell!”
He smiled at me as he said, ”Don't worry If you fall, I'll catch you”
I couldn't contain myself, ”You're corny”
BOOG!
I was surprised when he slapped ht cheek and look at him with a scary look in my face
”Wa- why Why are you doing this to me?”
”You're so crazy, it was just a touch, eh,” he said, chuckling, ”you're so OA”
We laughed for a while until he becauy so serious?
”Do you see that?” He pointed below
I shi+vered when I noticed that it was a view of the cemetery at the side of our school I didn't notice it before because the air felt wonderful and the sky was really beautiful
”Can you see the tombstone that has a heart formation?”
Even if I was confused, I gazed at the ceain I analyze what Nate said and I saw it The to
”I used to tell myself when I was still a kid that I'll show that tombstone to the person that I love the most”
I shi+vered intentionally because he went on with the co month, November [15] Is this supposed to be sweet or creepy? Please explain it to me
But wait, that line seems familiar, ah?
