LoreKi One Shots (Project Loki)

Confession [ REVISED ]

Lorelei's POV

"Truth or Dare?" Tanong agad ni Alistair nang tumapat ang bote ng C2 kay Loki. I know for sure that the latter isn't interested in this kind of games. He's probably thinking 'what a waste of time,'  but Jamie somehow managed to convince Loki to join the game.

"Truth." Loki answered. Truth is the safer choice, anyway.

"Do you—" Jamie was about to ask, but Alistair cut her off.

"Do you like Lorelei?"

"Huh? Ba't ako nadamay?" Reklamo ko pero walang pumansin sa'kin. Lahat ay nakatuon sa lalaking naka-poker face pa rin kahit siya na ang nasa hot seat.

"Like her?"

"You know, as someone more than a friend." Jamie continued, also curious about Loki's answer.

"No." Loki simply answered.

Aray ha?

"Bakit niyo ba kasi tinatanong pa eh obvious naman na!" Sabi ko at natawa.

"Hm. Oo nga naman. Okay, spin the bottle, Loki!" Jamie said, anticipated on who's the next victim.

Loki spun the bottle and when it stopped, Jamie was excited because she thought that she's next but to her dismay, it was pointed on Freya who's unexpectedly beside her, so Loki had to spin the bottle again...

And it pointed at me.

"Truth or Dare?" Loki asked.

"Truth." Knowing Loki, baka kung ano pang life-threatening dare ang ibigay niya sa'kin pag 'yon ang pinili ko!

"Do you like me?"

I am dumbfounded at Loki's question. I expect him asking me something like, what happened to your previous high school  or something like that.

"Like you?" I asked, copying what he previously did, but immediately regretted it.

"As someone more than a friend." He said and it took me a few seconds to answer his question.

"No. No!" Halos pabulong kong nasambit. Natawa nalang ako.

I hate lying.

Sa sumunod na araw, papasok na sana ako sa clubroom pero nakabukas na ito at narinig ko ang usapan nila Loki at Jamie. Sana hindi nalang.

"This is strange and I know it's too fast. It's just... New to me; this weird feeling I get when I'm with you. I found it absurd when others say it, until I felt it with you, the butterflies in my stomach. I think I love you. No, I know I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Ang sweet naman Loki! Yes, I will."  Jamie said, laughing.

I almost stumbled as I walked back and away from the room, but I bumped onto something— or should I say, someone.

I faced that someone and found Alistair. I think he's also about to go inside the clubroom, but he probably heard their conversation as well. I felt a tear dropping from my eye so I immediately wiped it and ran away. Anywhere away from that clubroom. I feel suffocated near there.

I reached the end of the hallway, I couldn't run anymore. I feel so tired but I know it isn't because of running, it isn't even because of crying. It's because of Loki, of liking him. I never really planned to have romantic feelings for someone this early, I wanted to focus on my studies, and the QED club! Pero wala eh, wala manlang siyang kamalay-malay na bawat galaw niya, bawat oras na magkasama kami, bawat pagtama ng mga mata namin, unti-unti na 'kong nahuhulog sa kanya.
