Chapter 7 - Chapter 4: Confession and Decision

Today is the day that Clio is going to confess to her best friend, Kal, about her feelings. This is also the day that will determine if their relationship as friends will level up or will be broken.

For her to have a perfect confession, she asks for help from her brother, Eli. She also asked for help from Jason and Phoebe, who seems to be so done from her practice.

"Kal, I like you. Can we date?"

"No! That is too blunt, sis. Don't use that." Eli quickly complains.

Clio agreed with her brother's statement and said another confession that she can use.

"Kal, you are the apple of my eye. You captured my heart. I like you. Will you go out with me?"

Jason and Phoebe quickly cover their ears, shouting.

"You better not use that confession line, you brat!"

"Jason is right! I, Phoebe, also known as your cute and elegant bestfriend is against that confession! Don't use that!"

Clio just sighed and left the room. Feeling hopeless that her confession is going to be a failure. She just decided to confess to Kal using the words that will represent her true feelings for him.

Kal's birthday party starts at 6pm and it is almost 5:55pm, so she calls her friends and her brother that they need to go.

When they arrive, she can see that Kal is enjoying having interactions with his guests.

His sweet smile, handsome face, the way he acts like a gentleman... She likes all of her characteristics.

"You really like him huh." Anthony said as he is now standing on the girl who is currently observing the guy she likes.

Hearing his voice, Clio looks at Anthony and is shocked. She stepped backwards and was held on the shoulders by Luca, who seemed to find her cute.

"Princess, it is too dangerous to walk backwards. You might fall or bump into other people." Luca said.

As Anthony and Luca enjoy accompanying Clio, there is a guy who seems distracted by this kind of interaction.

Kal walks towards them and greets his friends before looking at Clio with a jealous gaze. He seems annoyed that Anthony and Luca are being sweet with his best friend.

Sensing his anger yet jealous aura, Anthony and Luca quickly calm him down while explaining.

"Dude, chill. Anthony and I are just having fun with Clio. Isn't that right, my friend?"

"You got that right, Luca. By the way, Now that you're here, you wouldn't mind if I interact with Clio right?"

Clio seems confused about what is happening. Kal looks so mad. She can't help but to think if she did something wrong. She's just interacting with his friends, their friends to be exact. Nothing wrong with that.

But the jealous guy, who didn't notice that he was having a jealous moment just grabbed her wrist and dragged her to his room.

Feeling frustrated, he can't help but to be pissed.

"Why are you interacting with them the way you interact with me before you distance yourself from me?! Why are you acting like you hate me?! Why am I feeling this?! Can you stop avoiding me and just... ha... Just... Just tell me what's wrong. I can't help but to be jealous! Clio! Stop avoiding me! Please tell me what's wrong!"

Clio was so shocked by Kal's statements. The days that she has decided to avoid him. The days that she has decided to distance herself. Did she really make the right choice?

The guy she likes is jealous that she is interacting with Anthony and Luca likes the way she interacts with him before she has decided to avoid him.

Did she really make the right choice?

Feeling surprised by this kind of revelation, she can't but feel guilt.

"Clio, stop avoiding me! Stop distancing yourself! Just tell me the damn reason wh---"

"Because I like you!"

Just like that, Kal was stopped because of Clio's Confession.

She can't help but to tell him the real reason for his actions.

"I like you, Kal. I like you so much that it is so painful that you only see me as your best friend! I like you so much that I can't help myself to fall for you as we interact and spend time together. I like you so much that it is too painful knowing that you don't like me the way I like you."

Confession.... It is supposed to happen at a perfect time, but here she is, confessing at the wrong time with the guy she likes.

Kal, who seems shocked by his best friend's feelings just lowered his head. Feeling guilty that she gives her a misunderstanding of his actions.

"I.... I... I'm sorry. You seem misunde6rstood my actions. I don't like you. You're my best friend, my little sister. I can't like you. I will never like you. Because I only see you as my best friend and little sister."

He said those words while feeling a pain in his heart. He felt like, he was not telling the truth. Kal can't help to ask himself with the use of his thoughts.

'Did I do the right thing? I don't really like her, right? Because she's my best friend and I only see her as my little sister. But do I feel a pain in my heart like it is against what I really feel.'

Clio, who was rejected was too broken. He will never like her. Because she's his best friend and only sees her as his little sister.

It is alright to hear that he doesn't like her but hearing that he will never like her is too painful. She just smiled and chuckled before scratching his.

"Yeah, right. You will never like me. Umm... I need to go to my friends and brother. Umm.. Thank you for telling me what you really feel, Kal."

Clio left the room. The first person who was waiting outside the room is her friends, Jason, Phoebe, Anthony, and Luca with her Brother, Eli.

She reached out to Anthony and hugged him before saying her most painful decision.

"Eli...."

"What is it, little sis?" Scared that Clio is going to say her most painful decision, Eli stands closer to her.

"Eli, call mom and dad. I agree with their offer. I will go to the US and live with them."

Eli, Jason,and Phoebe want to protest but they know that Clio is going to need some time alone. So they just patted her back and Eli nodded before calling their parents and told her that tomorrow is her flight.

Clio looked at Kal's room and made a decision for herself.

'I, Clio Walters, will going to make my feelings towards Kal Davis disappear and improve myself so that when she came back, she will be a better Clio Walters.''
