KELLY POV
It's a festival going on… duh.
But I'm feeling strange and sad. My ex proposed to me last year and then just ghosted me. Now I feel like a dumb person.
I opened my phone and opened Instagram, which is hidden inside a calculator app.
Ahh, just a few more days and I'll delete this app already, I said to myself as I opened it.
A notification popped up. Someone followed me.
Wait—it's Max?!
I got surprised when I saw his name, and a smile appeared on my face.
Oh shit! Am I smiling because he followed me?? But why??
Do I like him or something? No way. I already regret being in a relationship once—bro, not anymore.
Max is one of my classmates. I started noticing him when I fell for a boy in a long-distance relationship… or you can say situationship. Only Max knows him in real life because they're best friends and grew up together.
I saw that Max uploaded a story. Without wasting a second, I viewed it.
It looked like he broke up.
Bruhh… anyway, I hate his girlfriend.
After some time passed, I posted my photo on my story, and suddenly a notification popped up.
What the fuck!!
Did he just like my story?!
A smile appeared on my face again, but then I slapped my head and slept. It was already 12 a.m.
The next day, when I woke up and checked my phone, I saw that he replied to my story.
It said: "I'm a girl, but I can't talk in a sweet way."
He replied, "Who said?"
I got really annoyed and replied, "When did you see me talking sweetly with someone, huh? I always talk rudely."
Just after an hour, he replied, "I don't know about sweetly, but you talked normally with me."
I don't know why, but I started smiling again.
Then I decided to tease him a bit and said, "Okay then, I'll talk rudely with you from now on."
He replied, "Why???"
Wait… it feels like he's actually tensed.
I said, "Don't take me seriously, I was just kidding."
He replied, "When you don't know anything about someone, you shouldn't take their words casually."
What the fuck did he mean by when you don't know anything?
Does he think he doesn't know me at all?
I don't know why, but it hurt. I just laughed it off, continued the conversation, then went offline and talked with my mother.
At night, I saw his message.
He asked me, "Do you like someone?"
I replied, "No way. Single life is the best, you know… hehe."
He said, "I used to think this too, until I fell in love with the right person."
Bruhh… it actually hurt to know that he already likes someone.
Still, I thought of teasing him and asked, "Who is she?"
He replied, "I don't know how to confess because she thinks single life is best."
Wait… what the fuck??
Is he talking about me?!
No way. He can't be.
I told him, "Just confess to her anyway."
He said, "Okay, I'm going to."
Wait—he's active but not replying.
Is he confessing right now??
I texted, "Heyy, did she accept?"
He replied, "You're the one who knows the answer."
I replied in confusion, "How am I supposed to know the answer?"
He didn't reply for five minutes, but I already knew what was coming. My hands were shaking.
Then he replied:
"I LOVE YOU."
Gosh… I can't accept him.
I already regret being in a relationship in my past.
Not again.
To be continued…
