Chapter 7: "Mutual"
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kristina and I walked on our way home, I suddenly remembered the events earlier and I asked, "How are you feeling now? You seemed very scared earlier."
"Uh, yeah... I'm okay now, it's just, I'm claustrophobic." she replied, "It's something from a long time ago that haunts me everytime I'm in an enclosed small space."
"Is that why you stopped playing hide and seek?"
She pauses and her voice sounded a little shaky as she looks at me, "Yeah, I just thought someone would find me no matter where I hide but that one day, I got stucked in the wardrobe and no on found me until the next day."
I don't know why but her story seems to affect me to the core, my chest tightens at the thought of it. She feels like she was about to be down for the rest of the day so I opened a bottle of soda and placed it by her cheeks, I stated, "Next time, you can wear your awful cologne and that way I can find you."

Then it's true? My long time crush just said he likes me?"Hey... I'm not dreaming, right?" I askedAngelo laughs, "It's pretty obvious, isn't it? I was pretty obvious towards it."Holy crap, I can die happy right now, oh wait don't kill me just yet, let me savor this moment.Before either of us says anything more, the rain started pouring heavily. Angelo grabs my hand as we ran towards some cover.Even as we reached shelter, he was still holding my hand, so I said, "Y...you can let go now."He looks at me a little longer then he lets go. He sneezes so I said, "That's what you get for going back in the rain and getting my lunchbox."Angelo mutter
My Sweet Mistake Chapter 9: "How he left"
Kristina Valdez POVMy thoughts drift away to the past, back when we were kids and everything was okay. I saw Angelo running towards me, he playfully grabs my hand and take me by the mountain to see the sunrise.I remembered Angelo's light brown hair with colorful and girly clips that I put on him. I remembered his chubby cheeks that hides his eyes as he smiles so widely. I remember how he would pat my head everytime I fell on my bike or trip by myself. I remember how he would grab my hands with his tiny and soft palms.He says, "Let's stay here forever and ever and ever."I chuckled, "Wouldn't that be boring to stay in one place even if it's your favorite place.""But this isn't my favorite place." He continued as he smiled brightly, "You are."We climbed the trees together that day even though I knew how much he feared h

Angelo Cruz POVI was catching my breath as I arrived at the karaoke bar near our school, I immediately went to the counter and asked, "Have you seen a girl here somewhere with brunette long hair, ah with fringe wearing a gray uniform, around this height? What else... ah, she seems shy and she has round deep brown eyes."The counter snaps his finger, "Ah the cute girl?"I blushed as I look away, "Ye-yeah...is she here?""Yes but she left just a few minutes ago with some guy... man, her head was bleeding pretty badly, I guess, he took her to the hospital."I felt a shiver down my spine, I was so worried, "What? Is she fine? What happened?"But the counter was clueless. I was about to leave and check which hospital Kristina was sent to when I heard the guys behind me snickering, "Damn it, we always had her too. That damn annoying guy just had t

"Wait, there must be some kind of mistake, K is a girl." I protested but I know his phone suggests the opposite, he is definitely 'K'.Kevin said, "Hey when did I ever said I was a girl? You know you should really stop jumping to your silly conclusions, okay?""But you're profile pictur-"He cuts me off, "-is a girl that I like, it's a famous singer.""Oh.. yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually." I continued protesting, "But still, 'K' is so misleading!""You're using the 'K' username as well.""Oh yeah...I do."Kevin laughs cheerfully and says, "Don't tell me you never even visited my profile? not even once? and you continued to talk to me without even knowing me?"I nodded"There is something completely wrong with you. You need-"We said at the same time, "The right amount of nerds!"

Kristina Valdez POVI ate the candy mix Kevin gave me earlier and as I shifts my gaze outside our room, I saw Angelo.

The hours have passed and as school days pass by, the more assessments we were given. We're already at our first quarter. The teacher announced, "For your quarterly project and exam for your core subjects this time, I am assigning you go to a remote place and study their culture. We will be going to have an educational trip for three days that will be held next week."There were cheers and applauses from our class because they were really looking forward to a trip instead of numerous exam papers. At least this way, we will only be taking the major s

Kristina ValdezI wasn't able to say anything so I changed the topic, "Why isn't Ashley with you?"He blushes, "Ah... she doesn't know.""Why didn't you invite her?"Kevin didn't say anything but he just looked at me and that made me blush... did he intentionally not invite her so we can spend time together... Oh, get it together. Kevin's a friend, god, I'm losing my mind.My mom bought out her dish, she cooked her famous shrimp in garlic and butter. It's my favorite, ah the smell itself is appetizing enought to get me drooling. I grabbed a plate for Kevin and myself.Kevin says to my mom, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner.""It's nothing compared to what you did for Kristina, don't hesitate to tell me if Kristina causes you any trouble, okay?"I protested, "I don't cause troubles!"

I saw Kristina leave her house after a few hours. She looks cute wearing her high waist dark blue square pants paired with a vintage white shirt. She had colorful pastel socks to match her all white sneakers.I guess she's going to the library to study....Kevin will probably be there too.Ah, he is really serious about his feeling for Kristina. This is annoying as hell.I watched her as she walks away.I got back in my bed and I was tossing and turning, I feel restless knowing they're together again. If this keeps up, they're going to be a couple by the next week. This is really getting to me. I tried to shift my focus, I started studying as well since exams are also coming up.Just when I was reading and practicing my solving skills, it suddenly pouring heavily outside.

Angelo Cruz POVI slowly opened my eyes and saw Kristina, she was prepping dinner. It smelled like crab and corn soup, I scoffed, damn this feels nostalgic. It's what I would always eat whenever I get sick when I was younger because-My thoughts were cut off as Kristina says, "Because crab is yummy and corn helps you improve your vision to find me!"I was surprised. That was what exactlyshesays when we were younger, how would Kristina know that? Kristina blushes as she realizes what she just said, "Ah, sorry, force of habit.""Where did you learn that?"She laughs and said, "A television program."I laughed as well, yeah, that television program. It was really my childhood. It feels so nostalgic.I saw my fists properly bandaged. Kristina must've saw how horrifying it was.

I denied as I put my glasses on to hide my eyebags, "I had to take care of some things in our company.""Wow, you never really fail to amaze me." She mocks, "A doctor and a CEO. What do you lack? Ah right, a girlfriend."I frowned as I glanced at sky. I replied, "Yeah, save the teasing for later."At lunch break, I went ahead and meet Abby at the local cafe.

She was wearing her hair in a messy pigtail and protested as we were walking around, "Hey! Wait up Angelo.... My feet aches."I remembered how I smiled and said, "I'll carry you, just hop on my back."Kristina would stare into the sky as I carry her on my back and point out at the clouds saying things like, "Wow, I wonder what the clouds taste like."I would always laugh and say, "Probably like water.""Yep probably or like a candy."We would talks about silly things and laugh at silly jokes as I carried her all the way back then we stopped by the tree where Kristina likes to climb all the time.

Christina Abby Reyes POVKevin was still okay after some shots, I remarked, "I take it that you're used to social meetings, what? Your parents forced you to attend?""No." Kevin replied, "My parents died. I was required to attend and most of them involves drinking, I figured, it's one of the easiest technique to get into their comfort zones and I just kinda got used to it.""Why did you really come?""I'm heartbroken?""No. I can see through people's lies you know?" I continued, "I know you have a reason for coming.""Do you know why I gave up?"I gulped and asked, "Why?""Because I saw Kristina... so happy and heartbroken and sad and genuine.

My Sweet Mistake Chapter 35: "The truth"
Angelo Cruz POVKevin's finally giving up... he must've really liked Kristina, probably more than I do because he can actually let her go and be happy and on the other hand, I can't. I'm sorry for being selfish until the end, Kristina.But that line... it bothered me. What Kristina had said earlier, "I'll be your shield so don't worry too much, you're not alone. You never were."It's what the girl from my childhood would always say. It's the first thing she said when we met at that old abandoned house. I ran away from home. I remembered. How did she know those exact words and Abby never once told me that after all these years?It's the exact lines. The exact reason. Her whole family says it.Just before I go to Kristina, Ashley grabbed my hand and dragged me far away from the venue, she was furious. I guess she figured it all out. I asked even though I think I k

I wasn't the girl from your childhood memories... then wouldn't you like me?" Abby askedI flinched as I honestly said, "I... ever since, I only had one special girl in my heart and it was you.""Was." Abby emphasized"Was." I confirmed, "You're someone special to me and you always will be. For that, I will be forever thankful for you being there Abby but you have to let me go.""Why? You know you're bad for Kristina, all you do is hurt her but can you let her go? Can you let her go and find happiness with someone else?" Abby asksI... wasn't able to say anything back.

My Sweet Mistake Chapter 33: "Broken hearts club"
Kevin Langdon POVAs soon as I saw Kristina that happy on the dance floor, it broke my heart, it just kept reminding me just how much Angelo has me beat. Abby went to the bathroom, she must've felt the same way as I did so I followed her. She locked the door and I waited for her outside the girl's bathroom.I heard her sniffling. Abby's obviously just leaning by the bathroom door. I knocked and said, "You okay?"Abby immediately went outside and denied, "I just needed to freshen up."I gave her a tissue and said, "Well, welcome to the broken hearts club.""It's okay." Her eyes gloomed a little, "I've been at it since the beginning."Abby fixed her mascara and kept her composure, she asked, "Don't you hate me as well? I mean, the girl of your dreams obviously does.""I.." I paused and chuckled, "Honestly, I don't. I told m

I never intend to pretend...but in every day, Angelo would call me by her name and I would always get my hopes up but it turns out, I'm not the Kristina he's been looking for.I play along with what he remembers.It's years, Kristina.

I always wondered that maybe i wasn't enough.10 years ago, huh?... I can't believe it's been that long.

I heard they moved to America for good but I was hoping one day he'd come back.I still kept the unsent letters. I never got their address so I just kept writing letters without ever sending them.I always made excuses for him.
