I responded right away with his kiss by pushing Ares as hard as I could because he’s too strong. Napalayo siya sa akin at napaatras ng dalawang hakbang. Then, I slapped him. He didn’t react. He was staring at me with all seriousness he got. Hindi niya inasahan ang ginawa kong pagsampal sa kanya. Nangingilid naman ang mga luha ko dahil sa nangyari. Halo-halo na ang emosyon ko all because of him. I wanted that kiss. I wanted him to be near me. I wanted him to like me too. Pero hindi pwede dahil nililigawan na niya ang kaibigan ko. Isa pa, masyado nang mababa ang confidence ko sa sarili ko nang dahil sa kanya. “You can’t just do whatever the hell you want to do with me, Ares!” I shouted at him. He’s not shooting back an answer to me. Nakatitig lamang siya sa akin. No emotions. No react
