"Because I like you for Pete's sake!" He exclaims.
My eyes are wide at the sudden confession. I feel my heart thumps fast because of him… Seeing him very serious while staring at me.
I never thought that he's not messing with my feelings. I can't tell since he knows to conceal his feelings but this time… I think he likes me.
Wait… Did I hear it right? Does he like me? I don't want to give myself hope that he likes me so I need to assure that his feelings are true or not.
"W-what… did you… say? You l-like me?"
He sighs while scratching his forehead before pointing to my food and saying, "Finish your food."
"B-but—"
"No buts." I pout at him, sulking before I grab my fork.
I can't open a conversation when knowing that he's being serious when he confesses and this time… I pull his trigger, that's why he confesses and I feel guilty about it.
