3 Third

"Clumsy nerd, it looks like that you know that I'm not finished with you. Are you in rush? scared of me?" She said it with pride.

I sigh, there he goes again.

I clenched my fist and loose my boe tie, I should be ready for their strike and be ready to strike also. I don't wanna keep them on my ass like this in my entire college life, I will teach them.

Maximo took the first strike and it landed on my face, I am forced to pull back because of the impact. I clenched my fist and ready to throw a punch. When I almost throw a punch, my friends shows up.

"Dale, did you forget what you promise? Are you planning to break it?" Phil ask me.

On his back, Andrei, Migs, and Edwin are looking at me the same way Phil look. They have the same thoughts as him, after all we are friends since high school. They know what I am going to do now.

"Here they are, Dale. It's you back up, should we start?" Maximo said intentionally to provoke me.

He knows that my friends would be suspended in their teams, including Migs in his band, if they caught fighting inside and outside school grounds. Their tournaments are way more important and my promise should not be break. If I get them into trouble, I can't forgive myself. It's their dream after all.

I start to walk away and listen to my friends. Maximo look at me and he smirk. I don't wanna fight them and get us on trouble, I will strike back when the time is right.

"Scared?" He provoked.

We walk away and start laughing, we know how pissed he is. We never listen to his provocation since he start harassing me, and I know he is planning to ruin the career of this four, he just use Thea as a reason.

We separate our ways in parking lot, we drove different cars, and I drove old beetle that I get from my Dad. It is a classic car and I treasure it since my Dad gave it to me.

I start the engine and I start to drive but suddenly I feel my tire is flat. I stop the engine and step out from the car, then I saw my tire.

"Flat tire... did I bring my spare?"

I open my trunk and saw nothing. I did not bring a spare... I am always busy and forgot my spare, I didn't expect it. I start pushing my car into the near vulcanizing, O' God, I am tired already and this happen. What a good day. I let out a stress sigh.

I place my car into customer area and look for the mechanic. I saw a pink Mitsubishi Evo 8, and I know who is the owner of that, I also saw the plate number. She's here. As I looking for her, someone poke me at the back.

"Dale? What happen to your car?" She ask.

I turn around and I saw her pretty smile. We may not hang out at the class but I saw her outside, it is my chance to ask her for a dinner.

"Flat tire." I said while scratching my cheeks and smile.

"Where's your spare? You can also be absent minded--!" Her phone rings, she look at it and someone is calling.

She give me a sign to wait, and I just nod.

"I love you." She said.

It's James...

I don't know, why I am loving a person who's alredy commited to someone, but it's what I feel towards her, I can't stop loving her. Even if I told to myself, to stop loving her, I will not listen to it.

If I could just casually tell her what I feel, it would be good right?

"See you tommorow, Dale." She said her good bye and enter on her car.

I waved at her and she just smile at me and give me horn. I hope that someday she will not go to the place I can't reach.

The mechanic approach me. I tell him that my tire is flat and he start fixing it.

The repair is finished. After I pay him, I start the engine and drive away.

While I'm on my way home, I started to remember what happened on my high school days.

"You heartless jerk!"

I saw a place where I could stop. I park my car beside the big tree, it was near the cliff and I can see a city lights. I sit and look up at the sky, I saw many stars. I'm not a fan of stars, but I want to stare at them. I remember someone from my high school days.

Why I remember that, those memories I bury and promised not to dig it up again. Why I remember her, that person who made me like this.

"What your saying is not important if you just all talk, if you say I love you and you can't show it in actions, what's the purpose of your words? if you can't love the person in actions, those words are just shallow feelings and not worthy to fight for."

"How can that be meaningless, I told you 'I love you', you know, your words are always deep and I can't read you at all."

"If it's hard to read me, why not let me feel that love of yours? Let me see your actions, I don't want flowering words, I want your love."

I remember talking to the person I treasured, person I've loved more than anything else. She's too important to me.

I don't wanna start remembering things, because it will always ended up on me being hurt by the past. I bury this memories and I don't want to remember it, remembering it fills me with what ifs. I don't love her anymore, but those memories can still make me sad and mad.

I loved her, but since Carmela entered on my life, I forgot those hurtful past, I start my new life and start loving her. But destiny seems to be in mood to play with me,.she was taken away before I made my move.

I sigh.
