My 8 Year's Crush
[ Chat Between Aki & Aya ]
[Chat Between Aki and Aya]
Aya
Hmm, what is it this time? Did you find another anime to binge? 😂
Aki Mira
Nope. I’m going to the festival this weekend. 🥳
Aya
Ooh, festival vibes! Are Kurt and Nikki tagging along?
Aki Mira
Yup, and… I heard Paul is back in town.
Aya
Wait, Paul Hermes? Your grade school crush?
Aki Mira
🙈 Yeah… It’s been eight years, Aya. Eight. Years.
Aya
That’s insane, Aki! Are you finally going to tell him?
Aki Mira
I don’t know… what if he doesn’t even remember me? 😓
Aya
Girl, you were the grade school president, AND you confessed before he moved. No way he forgot!
Aki Mira
Ugh, let’s not talk about that confession. I was so awkward. 😖
Aya
But cute. Come on, Aki. Fate brought him back. You can’t miss this chance.
[ Chat Between Aki, Kurt, and Nikki]
Kurt
So, the gang’s complete for the festival, right?
Nikki
Wait… isn’t Paul back in town? 👀
Kurt
Oh no. Here we go again. 😂
Kurt
Still crushing on him, huh?
Kurt
“Maybe” my foot. You’ve been head over heels since grade 6!
Aki Mira
Fine, fine! But it’s been so long. I don’t even know if he’s the same Paul.
Nikki
Only one way to find out. 😉
Festival
Aki Mira
I’m not just going to walk up to him and say, “Hey, remember me? I liked you in grade 6.”
Kurt
Why not? That’s solid. 😂
Aki Mira
🙄 You’re useless.
Aya
[In a group chat] Aki, where are you?
Aki Mira
Near the food stalls with Kurt and Nikki.
Aya
Don’t move. I spotted Paul near the lanterns. 😳
Kurt
Oh, this is gonna be good.
Nikki
Aki, breathe. Don’t pass out on us.
Aki Mira
Typing… then stops
[Direct Message Between Aki and Paul]
Aki Mira
Paul? Wow, it’s really you!
Paul Hermes
Yeah, long time no see. I almost didn’t recognize you.
Aki Mira
Same here! I mean, you’ve grown taller… and cooler.
Paul Hermes
Haha, thanks. You’ve changed too—still as confident as ever, huh?
Aki Mira
Not really… I kind of freaked out when Aya said you were here.
Paul Hermes
Freaked out? Why?
Aki Mira
Umm… do you remember grade 6? My little… confession?
Paul Hermes
Of course, I remember. You said you liked me before graduation.
Aki Mira
And then you moved to Cebu. 😅
Paul Hermes
Yeah… I didn’t know what to say back then. I was just a dumb kid.
Aki Mira
So… what about now?
Paul Hermes
Now? Well, I’d say… let’s grab some takoyaki and catch up. I think we have a lot to talk about.
Aki Mira
Blushing Sure, lead the way.
[Group Chat Between Kurt, Nikki, and Aya]
Aya
Guys, they’re walking together.
Kurt
Mission accomplished. 😌
Nikki
Finally. Took them 8 years. 🙂
