Be My Valentine

I’ve always known him since we were kids, we were best friends since we were in primary school, until high school, something about him changed, socially and physically, he was always cute when we were kids, but when he reached puberty, he’s not cute anymore, he is now handsome and very manly, girls in our school all loved him, guys admire and respect him, me? Well, I’m just the normal me, because of popularity and fame, a space gap suddenly grew between our friendship, until it grew more and more. Ever since then, we’ve never spoken to one another.

Yes, he is Jacob, my one and only crush.

There was no class today and I was bored. I went to play Habbo and to KoH to meet my online friends, it’s always fun here, talking with my friends and doing skype calls with them.

“Hey we have a new transfer here, everyone please welcome J214”.

“Hi J!”

“Welcome to KoH J J!“

Everyone welcomed him and I can tell he likes it here.

There was one time when, it was just the two of us; there was an awkward silence, then I broke the silence.

“Sooo, how is your day J?”

He sent a smiley and replied “It has been good.”

We talked for hours and hours, and I feel as if I’ve made a bond with him.

As days pass by, and days went great for me, as I was walking by the locker rooms, I saw Jacob laughing with his friend and I heard him say.

“She’s so wonderful man, I really like her…”

I froze when I heard that, and I can feel the pain in my chest as jealousy consumes my whole system.

Who is she?

How did she manage to get him?

I’ve known him for so much longer more than anyone.

I went home, with a frown on my face and went to log on to habbo to talk to J.

He messaged me right away, and said.

“Hi!”

“Hiii…” I replied.

“What’s with the ….”

“Nothing … “

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing; I don’t want to talk about it…”

“Ok then, um do you want to skype video call?”

I froze on that, I never showed my face to anyone on KoH but right now, why do I care? Jacob likes someone else; I don’t care about anything anymore.

“Sure.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Send me your skype username please”

I logged on to my skype and gave him my skype name.

I received his call and I froze, Should I do this? Showing my face to a stranger? What if he is a killer? Or a robber?

Then I remember Jacob’s words "I really like her …"

Then I answered the call.

I can’t breathe.

It’s Jacob.

I’m on video call with Jacob.

We just froze there staring at each other.

This is sooo awkward.

“Em?” Jacob asked.

“Ja-Jacob?”

“Wait, how? Why?”

“I should be asking the same…”

“Well I have something to tell you though .. “

“What is it?”

“I like you, I’ve always liked you ever since we were kids.”

My jaw drops.

“But. But you ignored me and had new friends and became popular with others.”

“I never ignored you, you’re the one who wouldn’t talk to me anymore.”

“I like you too Jacob, all this time” I blushed when I said that.

He smiled “Will you be my Valentine then?”

I smiled back “Yes.”

Love comes around in all forms.

You just have to wait for it to come to you.
