Chapter 3

Alexa and John were classmates in college. They have the same circle of friends. It was Alexa who had feelings for John and she called it love at first sight. She saw John walking at the corridor handsomely. All the girls are swooning over him. Boys are envious because of the attention the girls are giving to John. Some are giving him flowers and others are giving him chocolates. But Alexa was just satisfied just by looking at him. Her only advantage was they were in the same group of friends. Her friends Jana and Carla knew that she had feelings for John but for the sake of friendship, they just supported Alexa in keeping her secret. Until one night in their acquaintance party, the secret was finally revealed because of the game of truth or dare. It was Alexa's turn when the bottle point at her.

One of the senior ask her, "Do you like someone here?" If she chooses dare, she will drink one bottle of beer and that's a no no because her parents will ground her if they smell beer from her when she comes home. If she chooses truth, she will kiss the guy she like. There's no way out because when it comes to the seniors' order, she needs to follow because if not, she will be a slave of one of them and that's more scary than kissing or drinking. Finally, she stands up and walks towards the place where John is sitting. Shouting begins and teasing starts.

John stands in front of Alexa and asks, "Its me?" Alexa nodded and in a snap she kisses him. The plan was just a smack but when she starts to withdraw her lips from John's, he holds her waist and kisses her again. She was shock because of what he did. She can't hear nothing but the beating of her heart.

"Why John is kissing her? Why is he hugging her?" Alexa's mind is asking.

When John releases her, he saw something in John's eyes and she can't explain what is was. All she can do is to run because of embarrassment. She did not see the sad face of John.

Little did Alexa know, it will be his last day in school because they will migrate in the US for good.

All of their friends knew about it except Alexa and today John planned that he will tell it to Alexa and he will tell her that he likes her but that's impossible now. Their flight is at ten in the evening and it's almost nine now. His parents are waiting outside and all he can do is deeply sigh.

.......

Bella and Myra are listening to Alexa's story attentively so they will not miss any important details. After the story telling, her two friends realize one thing, both of them liked each other back in college. Alexa did not believe it because all John did was make fun of her and annoys her everytime. They're conversation only stop when Alexa's phone rings. She frown because it is an unknown number and she has the rule that if it is an unknwon number she will not answer the call. So she get back to her friends. Later did she know that it was John calling her. The three friends are still talking when they heard the paging system.

"Paging Alexa, paging Alexa, please proceed to the ER." She thought that it was a patient and hurried to the ER living her friends. In her dissappointment, John is standing in front the ER waiting for her.

"Why did you not answer your phone?" John asked in a serious tone. The staff look at her as if she was in a big trouble.

"I'm sorry boss, I'm not answering a call when the number is unknown," Alexa answered in a low tone.

"Give me your phone," John ordered her.

"Why?" Alexa asked.

"Your phone!" John said.

At first, she was hesitant but after she saw the serious face of John she gave up. John type something in her phone and gave it back to her.

"Lets go!" John said pulling her while holding her hand.

"Let me go!" Alexa said while trying to let go of her hand from John. But he never let go.

The staffs' faces are full of curiosity, only two people knew what is happening. Bella and Myra knew that these two will be together one of this day.
