Monday

I was so excited to go to school as I’ll be
seeing my suitor & my secret crush, Charlie
again. But then, the whole day he just smiled as
my close guy friend, Carlo cheered me up. He
didnt even talk to me, he just smiled.

Tuesday

I was thinking Charlie might approach me now as
he should since he’s courting me. But then, the
whole day he just smiled as my close guy friend,
Carlo cheered me up. He didnt even talk to me,
he just smiled.

Wednesday

I didnt want to talk to anyone, not even Carlo
who cared so much for me since I was pissed off
of Charlie. As usual the whole day he just
smiled as my close guy friend, Carlo cheered me
up. He didnt even talk to me, he just smiled.

Thursday

I went to school as usual. Carlo kept cheering
me up. I was so pissed that I shouted at him and
told him to just leave me alone. And Charlie?
the whole day he just smiled. He didnt even talk
to me, he just smiled. My close guy friend Carlo
tried to ignore me the whole day.

Friday

I received a note with the words:
"You just don’t know how much I love you,
I know it’s impossible for you to like me,
but I just want to let you know how amazing you
are."
Even though there’s no sign from the sender or
even a name, I was sure it was from Charlie. And
the whole day he just smiled. He didnt even talk
to me, he just smiled. My close guy friend Carlo
tried to ignore me the whole day.

10 years after…

Here I am at my close friend, Carlo’s wedding
with Charlie as my date. I never enjoyed
Charlie’s company, Carlo still rocks my socks.
But it was too late, he’s getting married. And
besides, he’s too good for me. He would never
love a person like me.

Before the ceremony, Carlo went up to me and
asked, "What is that paper you’re holding?"
It was the note from Charlie, 10 years ago,
"Oh, the love letter from Charlie saying how much he
loved me. It’s been 10 years, you know."
Then, Carlo bowed his head and tears fell from
his eyes and said, "You just dont know how
much I love you. I was the one who gave you that note
10 years ago. It wasnt Charlie. I wanted to tell
you in person, but I was afraid you’d reject me
and our friendship forever. I was too afraid to
lose you."
I started to cry. I just said, "I loved you
too. All this time, it was you. But I thought that
you only see me as this friend."
Carlo whispered to me, "I’m sorry. It’s too
late." and he went back to his soon-to-be
wife
as Charlie asked me what happened.
"It all ends today." and I just cried.
