It Was Too Late

"Aren't you the president of SSG? They say you have an urgent meeting so you don't have time to work on your projects, I'll do it. Troy, after all, I have free time-"

"I can handle this Zeya, I'm not asking for your help."

---------------------------

"Troy here oh water." He handed over a bottled water while I was resting because we had just finished trying out basketball.

"I don't need that water, Zeya. Don't worry about me."

---------------------------

"Troy? Rest here first oh towe-"

"I have a towel, just keep it."

---------------------------

She's my admirer, Zeya. She used to like me but I just ignore it because I'm not ready for commitment and I'm not ready to be hurt and love. We've been batchmates since 1st grade and since then he has always paid attention to me. I don't know why but the more he teases and teases me, the more I fall in love with her but I still prefer to ignore my feelings for her because aside from being a pride person, I'm not ready for this yet.

"Troy, I have something to tell you for a moment."

"Spill it Zeya, I'm in a hurry."

"Actually, I've liked you for a long time." She said shyly.

"I've known that for a long time," I answered calmly.

"But I'm not ready to love, Zeya. Forgive me if I hurt you with what I said, but, I'm sorry." I walked and looked at her sobbing and then left her in the park.

Every day that passed, the former Zeya who was nagging and angry with me disappeared, I looked for her in their section but I always couldn't reach her. I almost went around the whole campus but I couldn't find her. Wait, why is this? Why am I looking for his presence? Why do I miss all her goodies? Why is it like, I miss her?

Zeya avoids me every time we meet and there is still a trace of sadness in her eyes every time we meet. One day, I woke up and had the courage to confess my feelings for her. so I waited for her all night outside the campus.

"Zeya? Can we talk for a moment? I just have something important to say." I just shrugged my shoulders while facing him.

"What's that? Hurry up because Le and I still have a date- oh he's already there, Hi babe!" I turned around when she waved from behind me and I saw her sweet smile that used to be mine

"Babe? B-Is he your boyfriend, Zeya?" I asked while holding back tears.

"Yes, btw Troy this is Leo, my boyfriend, Troy is a babe." She promised with a smile while pointing at me.

"So what are you going to say?" it added.

"I haven't forgotten anything." I left smiling but it felt like my whole world had been crushed.

"Let's go babe? I'm hungry" I heard them talking.

It was too late when I realized that I have feelings for you too, Zeya. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me.
