Highschool life.
People say that we should enjoy it because college will be shitty. Some told me to do everything i wanted because i wont be able to do it in college. They told me to just do it so i wont regret it.
So here i am.
In front of the guy i liked the most.
Marv.
"So..."
I looked up. He finally said something.
"You"
Why am i nervous?
"Like me?" He finished
"Y-yes!! Yes, i do!!" I said stuttering. But i know i mean it. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
"Well, unlucky you"
"W-what?"
"I said youre unlucky. Dumb too" he said bluntly. Too blunt my mind doesn't want to process it.
"Your letter is cheesy"
Ouch
"Your drawing looks awful"
Stop
"You look ugly"
No more
"Do you even wash that hair? Looks like a bird's nest"
Please
"A dog even looks better than you. A stray dog"
Stop
"And..."
"Shut up..."
"What?"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!"
I dont care anymore. I wont regret anything huh?
Liars.
THEY'RE ALL LIARS!!
I ran. As far as i can. Away from this nightmare.

13 years later ~
"Dr. Vergara, i'll be letting the next patient in."
I nodded.
He laid the folder on my desk. I picked it up and read it.
"Hmmm... Samantha Collins... 13..."
I sighed
"Depression and severe anxiety"
The door opened once again.
"G-good m-morning" a young girl said. She must be samantha.
I smiled
"Good morning to you too. How may i help?" I said trying to make her feel comfortable.
She sat down on the chair.
"Where's your parents?" I asked
"Outside"
"But why? Shouldn't they be here beside you?" I asked again
"I dont want to. They'll just embarrass me" she said then looked away.
Not close to parents huh?
"Can you tell me what's wrong?"
=×=
The day ended... Normally. Now I'm just packing some stuff and then im ready to leave.
As i open my door something popped.
"Congratulations Jessie!!" They said in unison
"What? Why?" I said laughing a little from this stupidity their doing
"Cangrats for staying single until 27" Mae sarcastically said.
I shook my head.
"Yeah, like seriously!! Get yourself a boyfriend!!" Laureane told me with a frown
"Your life is boring" Miguel said and rolled his eyes
"Have fun!! Go on dates!! Meet new people!! Or go on blind dates. If you know what i mean" Aika said winking.
Oh no. Please not a...
"Blind date!! We arranged a blind date for you!!" Clouie said with a lot of joy. This woman really got energy.
"What? When? Where?"
"Blind date. Now. Lets go" Mae said grabbing my arm.
"But..."
"Nope. Nah-ah. Shut it. No. I said shut. No."
I just frowned. Mae even stopped me from opening my mouth. I guess there's no backing out now, huh?
=×=
They put their thumbs up. Smiling from ear to ear. This idiots will get a great beating from me if this date wont work.
I looked at my phone.
7:49 pm
Its still early. Cant make my schedule an excuse, huh?
The foods nice too. And i dont have allergies so...
The place is also comfy. Cant make my taste an excuse too.
"Excuse me"
I looked up
My jaw dropped mentally.
He is handsome.
I blinked. A lot.
"Y-yes?" I asked
"Are you Jessie Vergara?"
Shit. Fuck. Damn.
"Yes. Yes, I am."
He sighed.
"That's a relief. You looked better than i expected" he sat down
"What do you mean?" I asked. Confused.
"I thought it was another prank my friends made" he said laughing a bit
"I see" i smiled
...
"So... Umm..."
"This is awkward" we both said in unison.
We looked at each other then laughed.
"So have you ordered yet?" He asked
"Not yet. I just got here"
"Oh. Okay. What do you want?"
I looked at the menu. Oh. Italian. Lets see... Pasta... Pasta... And more pasta... Is this really an italian resto or a pasta shop?
"I'll have pesto" i said still eyes on the menu
"That's all?"
"Yeah..."
He called the waiter and placed our orders. He got carbonara. Then wine for drinks.
"I hope wine was fine"
"Its fine" i smiled
After sometime our food finally arrived.
"Auntie cooks pesto better..."
"Your aunt?" I looked up
I guess i said that aloud
"Yeah. Auntie used to cook pesto for me during my birthdays" i said.
"Oh. Pesto must be your favorite."
"It is"
"But why didn't your mom cooked for you?" He asked tilting his head a little. A sign of confusion.
Cute
"Well, i lived with my grandma when i was studying." I explained
"Oh... I see..."
"How about you? How was your life as a child?"
He giggled
"Same as yours a little. My parents live abroad so i live here with my grandpa and uncle." He said
"Oh. What a coincidence then!" I said
"I just noticed. Your eyes blink a lot when you're shook"
"Really?"
He laughed
"There you go again"
He lift his hand and wiped something from the corner of my mouth.
"You do realize that this is so cheesy" i told him
"I know" he chuckled
"You laugh a lot"
"You blink a lot"
We laughed
=×=
"It was fun" he said
"Yeah..."
I guess it was.
"Umm. By the way, what do you do for a living?" He asked
"Oh. I am a psychiatrist. Why ask?"
"Just curious"
"Well, i gotta go... So... Bye!!" I said ready to leave
"Wait! I never got your number" he said holding out his phone.
I typed my number on his phone then gave it back.
"Well then, bye!!" I said as i turn to leave.
