Jay looks at the girl whom he likes. Ever since the start of classes, this girl caught his eye. They're classmates but he still can't talk or approach the girl, and its been 6 months

He always watches her. He stares at her even during the lessons and he will look at her when he's not doing anything.

His friend knows that he likes the girl and always try to help Jay get close to the girl.

...

"Let's gooo. Jay. Hurry" said Vix, Jay's friend. He was convincing Jay to talk to the girl as she was sitting alone.

"No, I can't" said Jay and look away.
His friend just shook his head

...

And one day, he got the courage to talk to the girl.

"Uhm Hi" he said, standing in front of the girl. They were at the field, and there are only a few students

The girl looked at him and smile

"Hello" she said.

"Can I sit here?" Jay asked refering to the seat beside the girl. The girl nods

"Uhm, do you have anything to say?" The girl asked. Jay become nervous

"Ah...can we...ah...can we be friends?" Jay asked and look away as he was embarrassed. The girl giggled

"Yup. Nice to meet you. I'm Gia" the girl said and offered her hand

"I-I'm Jay" Jay said and accept the girl's hands.

This starts their friendship. Jay never let Gia feel that he likes her. He acts like a friend. They got a little close in no time.

..

But one day, Gia distanced herself to Jay, and he noticed it. He wants to ask the girl the reason behind but he can't seem to approach her as she was always with her girl best friends.

Jay also noticed that Gia never looked at him the way she did before. She doesn't talk to Jay like it used to. She always replies coldly and short.

Jay knows there was something wrong, and as he respects Gia, he distanced himself and never let Gia get uncomfortable whenever he was in the same room as her.

The classes continues, the days passes by. The time approaches when they finished school and graduated College.

And after College, Jay never saw Gia again.

....

And the time comes, Jay built a cafe, his own cafe. It wasn't easy but still, he become successful with his business.

As he was sitting on the corner, one person catches his eye. It was a girl, a familiar girl. He followed her with his eyes. It was Gia. She was entering the cafe alone. Jay wants to talk to her but his feet won't seem to move.

All he can do is to watch her. Gia looked at the direction of Jay, and she saw him looking at her. Jay smiled a little and look away.

He felt happy to see Gia again. It was like a dream to him.

And after that day, he always sit on that same spot, waiting and hoping to see Gia again.

"Hey. What's up?" said by his friend, Vix.

"Still waiting for her? Dude, maybe she just passed by here when you saw her" he said

"And why are you eager to wait for her to show up here? Will you ask her out if she did?" his friend said looking at him. Jay starts to think, did he really like Gia that much?
