#4 My heart will wait.

Alex was pretty sure he got over Nicole, and he is glad that everything is better now. But wel, even so, he'd been talking to Natasha a lot, and they started Skyping and calling each other which really did, well put a smile on his face. Like you could never imagine the way he smiled when she talked to him.

He still somehow felt like he was falling for her. A lot. The way they were so lame with each other playing made-up games, and the way they'll sing to each other on the phone, and the way the were there for each other when they needed someone, and how cute her laugh is. How they made plans for each other after finals which will determine their freshman year. How they wanted to study together. How much talking to her or just a simple 'hi' made him so happy. He really did like her.

He really really did want to tell her, like badly as everyday of not telling felt like a thousand years. Well, you know the drill. He decided to tell her. He stuck with writing a really really long and meaningless letter, which is what he's best at. He showed Nicole, Haley, Carmen, Elina, and Melanie what he wrote and you know what? Almost all of them responded with a huge 'AWWWW'. Which is, a good thing right? Ahah. it felt different from how he tried telling the others he ever did have feelings for. He felt, attached, like they knew each other, forever. He wrote what he really felt, like what he wanted to be to her, what he really meant to her, what was inside.

The only thing that was in the way, exams. Such killers. Gosh again, the fact that everything is all clashed and studies and yadda yadda, it just... sucks. But that gave him a good reason to wait, to focus on something else and block out all the other distractions as this exam was make it or break it.

This gave him a good reason to talk to her more, and guess what? He lost his first ever date, to her. Well, if you consider a study date as a date but yeah, he did feel happy, over the moon. They had been planning to tutor each other for quite awhile but her parents didn't let her out, so after convincing them a long time, they said yes to it!

As school was near ending, his heartbeat paced faster and faster and he was shaking, in a good way, so much so that Nicole had to calm him down and distract him a little. He really couldn't wait to see her, to talk to her, to study be with her.

The bell rang and Nicole and Haley both wished him the best of luck and he waited for Mel and Elina to leave first, and he waited where they planned to meet each other. After awhile, no signs of her were to be seen and he thought that she stood him up. He went back in school and thought maybe he'd see her in the canteen or something, and after two rounds he still didn't see her and the thought of her ditching him really really seemed true. He went back to the gate and well, there she was. Looking pretty as ever.

They started walking and headed to the canteen for lunch. They talked on the way about stuff that normal don't talk about. Hahaha. They laughed a lot, well, she laughed a lot at him for stabbing the chicken. It wasn't his fault okay, he couldn't cut it properly. xD

Then they headed to the double-R where they did study. She thought him a lot about the Science chapters he didn't understand, about how a big lumen in the arteries can cause a heart attack and small lumen = good! (those were his notes)

He taught her Geography where she was pretty weak in that subject. He went really lame and substituted all the minerals of the country to her celebrity boyfriends' names and she was like 'Josh is everywhere' 'NO WHY IS HE SO FAR AWAY FROM ME' They were that lame. He also used both of them as an example for the layers on the forest and she was all 'eww I have frogs on me' Haha

Natasha was right, people WILL faint if they were in the same room with the both of them.

Someone was asking whether the phone on the table was hers, but she pointed the field and said it was her grandmothers'. She called Ironman, Lelaki Besi, the direct Malay translation. He called her super tight compass the Hulk compass. They both gave weird stares to the people who passed them by. He kept dancing to the weird music the other table was playing, that was the funniest. Their faces when a girl was talking to them and they got so lost and just stared at each other and tried not to laugh but at the end he was all 'whaaa?' and started laughing.

It was a windy day that day, and her hair was flying all over the place and he was so tempted to run his fingers to her hair, put the loose strands behind her ear.. or something. (like the movies, you know?)

She really did make him smile, and gosh her laugh was the cutest thing he'd ever heard.

Yes, he was indeed falling for her, and he's definitely telling her soon, and he'll be counting down the days till when the last day of the exams is here, and he'll tell her. But right now, he'll wait, his heart is gonna wait for her, always.
