Episode 2 - Sparks Fly

12 June 2011

So yes, I crashed on this guy, Kevin who is also my classmates. On the first month of school, I told Irma that I will never fall in love with any of our classmates, but yes BAM! Sparks fly. I hated him on the day of our orientation as he was noisy,  way too noisy.
 But then on 12 June 2011, I texted Irma,

“I think I have a crush on someone” I know Im a dead meat when I shoot my mouth, but I cant seem to hide stuff pretty well.

“OMG WHO? Nicholas, Kevin?”

My heart beated very fast when Kevin name appeared.

-A text came in-

“ Omg Kevin? It cant be Nicholas, he got a girlfriend,”

And then we go on about how did I even fall in love with him . All started with a simple conversation about he reminding me of our assignments. Day after day, we texted all day long. I realized that he loves to run marathon. He’s always signing up for marathon until he got broke. Broke enough.  Whenever he have a marathon , he would text me before he leave for marathon and after he’s done with it. But all that stays as memories. You know you miss someone when you start to read old text and wonder where did you go wrong.

6 months past, I was mean enough to wish him ‘Happy Birthday’ at the very last moment of his birthday. I didn’t know what devil entered into me but yes, I decided to wish him at the last minute of his birthday. Okay that’s a lie. I was not so heartless.

“Happy 21^st birthday. All the best for the future,” –Message Delivered.

I was so nervous waiting for his reply that I checked my phone every single second. Was he mad at me for wishing him so late when he was one of the few that wished me early on my birthday? Is he not replying me? Ah damn, I should put in some emoji. Why was I so dumb? I started to blame myself thinking of all the possibilities. Even the minor possibilities.

My phone buzz on the bed. The vibrations is like earthquake.

“Thank you. J” Just a thank you? Should he reply something better? Maybe it’s my fault for wishing him way too late. Too late to change situation.  I wanted to reply to something better than just ‘Welcome’ but yes, I could not think of anything better. I could not even turn to Irma for suggestion as she’s been bugging me to forget about Kevin and move on. She called him a jerk and I agree to that. But matters of the heart, no one would understand it better than you yourself. I decided to ignore the world, ‘Infinite- Paradise’ giving me the eargasms. Without realizing, I was in a world full of fantasy. Fantasy that would not happen when your eyes open and you have to face the real world.
