‘Rachel Amaris P.O.V’

“Why don’t you admit it yet?” My friend Nada teasingly asked me.

“Admit what?” I asked her, and continued to stare at my crush Ethan. He is not far from us.

“You’re still early there. I said why don’t you confess to Ethan,” I quickly looked at him for what she said, sometimes her mouth really doesn’t have a filter.

“What the Nada!” I was disgusted, “Just shut up. I’m the one with the strategy, just wait for the way first.”

“Why is it that you still like him, eh, you can only like his twin. Who is that again?” the witch thought for a moment.

“Evan.” At the same time they said Nada and Jessie. I tugged at my hair as Evan’s emotionless face turned in our direction. I slapped the mouths of two of my friends.

“I’m not going to like that gay. Period!” disgusted I said to the two.

“Don’t speak unfinished.” Answer of the two that I struggled with.

I really don’t like Evan slash my enemy slash gay. I was just loyal to Ethan, and I only wanted Ethan. Period! Even if my Grandfather’s chicken dies.

We went back to the classroom after lunch break. It’s just annoying because Ethan is not my classmate, and what’s even more annoying is that my classmate is his nice and antipathetic twin none other than Evan. And even more annoying, I was next to him in the chair and my friends were far from my seat.

“Can you step aside a little?” I asked angrily, his chair was so close to mine, I could smell his fragrant scent.

“This is how the chair is arranged, so what do you want me to do? The more I move, the more I don’t move.” He said annoyingly.

I was disgusted to look away, he was so annoying! “Why are you annoying?”

“You’re annoying too.” He replied almost smoky my nose in annoyance.

“You’re more annoying.” I punched him in the arm, I was the one who hurt but I was the one who was hurt. Is his arm a wall, why is it so hard? Annoying!

“Maybe, don’t hurt me.” He sat beside me, I just stared at him.

“Ethan should just be next to me and my classmate.” I whispered in disgust.

“Okay, class listen!” We all stared at the front where our teacher was standing. “Because it’s February I want you to make a poem for love, by pair of course your partner is next to you so as not to mess with the counter pendent. I’ll give you a day to do that. And present that here in the foreground, obviously? “

“Yes Sir!” We answered at the same time, I frowned to face the person next to me.

“My bad luck and you are next to me.” I said in disgust.

“I’m more unlucky because someone like you is next to me.” Returning that it says, I restrained myself to punch and kick him.

“Okay, I’ll just go to your house tonight so we can do the project, is that okay?” I explained, he nodded. “Good.” It’s good and I agree with him and because of that I will see Ethan later at their house.

In the afternoon when I got home, I immediately put on my house clothes, I would go to their house early.

I was about to leave the house when I heard my mom call me, so I stopped automatically. “Where are you going?”

I hesitated to smile at mama, “I know Tito Elias there.”

“And what are you going to do there?” my mom asked.

I scratched my head, “We’re going to do a project. Isn’t Evan my classmate? That’s why.” I explained, the gift was revealed to me when my mom nodded. I ran out of the house, I passed the children playing and the others were chasing.

I used to play that too, but now I don’t. Mom will be angry, maybe the hanger will chase me, because I’m a virgin and I shouldn’t be playing like that anymore. The many cards of the elders.

When I got to the opposite side of their house I rang the doorbell, I rang it one more time until someone opened the gate. I lost my smile when I saw Evan’s frowning face, it opened the gate.

I couldn’t wait for him to say ‘come in chel.’ Because I know he won’t say anything.

When we entered their house, I immediately sat down on the soft sofa and leaned back, and it gave me a sharp look. “Are you hurting? Can I punch you?” my challenge, he just ignored me and left me, I saw him climb the stairs.

I scratched my head so hard, where is Ethan? My face lit up when I saw who was walking down the stairs, “Ethan.” I speak weakly. They look like Evan, but they look different, and to me Ethan is more handsome.

“What are you doing here Chel?” he asked me downstairs, not losing the smile on my lips as I stared at him. Omg! Crush’s really handsome especially the up close, “Hey Chel back to earth.” I regained consciousness when he waved his hand in front of me.

“Ah, eh.” I scratched my head, “Evan because we have a project.” He nodded at what I said, “Ah Ethan where are you going?” I asked sharply dressed him.

“I have a date.” His answer, I immediately lost my smile and my heart was broken because of what he said. I was still holding onto my chest. “Anyway I need to go.” Goodbye to it, I still can’t answer that I’m leaving it.

It’s a little or something but my liver and heart hurt because he has a date, I should be the one.

“Will you please change your reaction, you look like a chipmunk.” My reaction changed immediately when I heard that voice. I faced behind me and saw it standing near me while holding a book and laptop. He was also wearing reading glasses, I was even more shocked because he disfigured my eyesight.

“Did he bring you something?” I ask.

“Do you have a brain?”

“Probably there is, are you nuts?” I disgusted ask at him.

“Then use it, don’t act like you don’t have brain.” Lifeless voice he said, before he left and walked to the garden of their house.

Disgusted it followed, “Wow! I’m just asking antipathetic, forbidden to ask?” my sarcastic question, it still didn’t turn me around and sat on the wooden bench and laid the laptop and book on the opposite table.

I sighed in front of him, he opened the book and opened the laptop. It was as if I was not in front of him. My eyes narrowed as he finally looked up at me.

“What are you doing? Will you just stand there? Won’t you help me do our project?” he inemphasized the last said.

I sat down next to him and peeked at what he was doing on the laptop, “What am I going to do?” I asked as I pondered what was written on the laptop.

“Open the book.” Command it, and have typed in MS word.

“What can I get out of the book, eh the poem teacher says about love.” I said while still watching what he was doing. I almost jumped in panic when the little kitten Bogart son of Mingming suddenly jumped right in front of me.

“What is this cat of yours, Evan? Take it away from me, I will grill it alive.” Trembling the voice I told him and frowning a little, I held his arm.

Evan kicked me so I could get out of my grip on him he took his attention away from what he was typing on the laptop and gently took the kitten.

“Bogart.” He said to the kitten caressing it, “Don’t go near the chipmunk next to me he’ll grill you.” Its talking to the cat that smoked my nose in annoyance.

“What did you say? I’m not a chipmunk.” I said in disgust to him as my eyes glazed over. I backed away when he brought the kitten closer to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief as the kitten left his grip, “Tss. Let’s start this project.” He said and turned his attention back to the laptop.

“What am I going to do?” I asked again.

“Read that book and then write key notes or lines about love. We will try to make it poem.” He explains while not taking his attention away from the laptop.

I thought about what he said, he was going to throw something out too. He’s smart, I just don’t really like him. I started to open the book he gave me and read quietly.

I tell you the lines or kwey words that I see and when we come up with five stanzas we just rearrange the word we use until we come up with a poem or poem about love. And finally he put the name of the two of us at the end.

“I will print these two copies. Let’s go one by one, I’ll give it to you tomorrow.” He said before closing the laptop and looking at me. I looked away when I met his blue eyes.

Ethan’s eyes are dark chocolate color that he inherited from Tita Rj while Evan has blue eyes from Tito Elias.
