I stare at my phone blankly. Still can't decide if I'm going to tell him how I really feel or not.
But after a long meditation while looking at my phone, I decided to call him.
I inhale sharply and caught my breath when he answer the call.
"Hmm?" Luigi hummed. I was the one who called but I got nothing to say.
"Po? You still there?" He ask gently.
Gosh! Why do you have to act so nice?! I'm falling dammit!
"Luigi!" I finally call out his name. "Yes?" He answer.
I gulp before telling him the words that a right person won't say.
"Pa crushback." I said and stare at the night sky. Silwnt pass us by. But I'm still hoping that he won't reject me. Well, I'm afraid that he will reject me.
I bit my finger nails. I'm nervous arf! I don't want to waste any moment. That's why I'm asking him direct to the point.
I grimace when I heard a static sound follow by his voice. "Are you sure about that?" Luigi ask doubtfully.
I wanted to laugh but I can't. He might think that I'm joking.
"Can I court you?" I ask him. Courting is for boys to do. Not to girl like me. But I wanted to break the old rules of starting a relationship. I will prove it to the world that girls can also do things boy do. (Except cheating)
"Oh, shit don't." He sternly said making me die in silence.
Owww, that hurts. I'm keep on staring at the night sky. Lost in words.
I'm waiting for him to talk. Oh shiz, did I got friendzone?
"It sound so wrong when those words came out of Girl's mouth." Luigi finally said. I frown at him.
"What? The courtship? Why? I believe in gender equality." I don't want to sound sarcastic. But I did.
My gosh! Where is Maria Clara? Oh, I'm not a primitive girl.
Luigi is dead serious until I ended the call. I don't want to hear him rejecting me right away. I can't~
I close my eyes then open it again when my phone vibrate in my hands.
Luigi: It's up to you.
I scream when I read his message. But wait! How will I face him? Shiiiiiz!

"Ate! Take a picture of me! Hurry!" I call my cousin as we are about to leave the parking lot. We just finished shopping and on the way to home when I find the parking lot useful for a picture.
My cousin take some shot and I posted it on my day. I have a caption "Me thinking about my crush... ehem~ crushback!"
I smile when I uploded it. It was a shout out to Luigi! I'm being too public with my feelings for him.
Seconds later, A massage suddenly pop out in my phone.
Luigi: Who is your crush?
I can't help but to smirk. As if you don't know...
I shake my head when I read his new message.
Luigi: Tell me who, I'm going to tell him to crush you back.
I roll my eyes. "Ugh! Baka!"
I sarcastically replied to him. "Go on, tell yourself to crush me back."
His new message makes my heart went ops...
Luigi: already done. I already have a crush on you.
Ugh! No! Craziness! Don't believe him! What if he is pranking me?
I bit my lower lip as I reply to him.
Allison: Are you sure?
Luigi, I just want you to know that I'm dead serious right now.
I almost scream when he answered "Yes".
Oh! Diba! I immediately announce it to my two group friends chat that Luigi crush me backA
Of course they have a different comments about my latest gossip. I just flip my hair! Oh, I feel like I have a long hair!
When the night comes, I have an exclusive video call with my baby Karyll.
"Bish, are you sure about Luigi? I mean I don't want to see you cry again because of a man." Karyll worriedly said while she's eating. I smile at her.
"You all know me right? I don't usually like any men, It's once in a blue moon whenever I fell inlove. So It's solid as in Solid! So thank you fot the support that ya'll giving to me." I smile sweetly at her.
When I ended the call, I saw Luigi change his profile picture. I was about to react to it when one comment got my full attention...
.

I thought Luigi is different from other cheating mankind. But I guess I'm wrong...

Weeks passbye without any conversation with Luigi. How can he he do this to me after telling me that he's already returning the feelings that I have from him?
Why? Because of the comment. I saw a girl commenting on Luigi's photo saying she likes him.
Guess what Luigi said? "Sure, why not."
"It breaks me." I said while walking with Karyll. That comment give me a major headache and heartache.
Karyll patted my back. "Girl, Chill out and stop thinking about him let's just eat."
I look at her and pout. We are about to stop at our destination when a motor almost pass us by.
He is with someone. A girl. She's beautiful. Looks so jowable. I gulped when i saw him raise his hand for a high five.
I just tap it without saying any words. Karyll is dead silent until Luigi is out of our sight until....
"Broom~ brooom~" My jaw drop while looking at Karyll imitating a motor and act as if she's driving the vehicle.
Slowly, I histerically laugh at her. Shit! I crumble my tummy since it hurts from laughing.
"Oh, diba? Effective!" Karyll said while laughing. We just keep on laughing until we finally eat out favorite street food.
I was about to eat my egg when I saw Luigi in a motor with a girl. I act as If I did not see them passing us by. I even heard him call my name but I still act as if i didn't hear him.
Why did I do that? Huh! Who wouldn't?!
