Part 1 | Jacob Liam

'Si vis amari, ama' that's Latin of 'If you wish to be loved, love'. I had just finished my Latin class that I take after school just because Margo takes it. By the way, I'm Jacob Liam, but everyone calls me Liam.

I'm currently in 12th Grade. School has just started recently and I'm pretty delighted. Right now, I probably have the biggest crush on Margo, a girl from my grade. No words can describe her perfection and  flawless self. She seems like an angel sent from the heavens to lit my world.

Walking through the corridors to leave school, the halls were already dark. I was supposed to wait for my best friend, Joshua Harris. He's one of the popular guys and I've been best friends with him since forever.

"Yo, what's up?" Josh called up. "Nothing much, how's Rose?" I said while digging into my bag. "Honestly, I'm thinking of a break up, you know, it's just not working out," Josh said with his basic straight face. "Umm, okay... Cool," I said, seemingly unfocused, while looking at my phone. "What's the matter dude? You got a problem?" Josh patted me, now with a more expressive face. "Nah, it's nothing. Come on, let's get going!" I changed the topic, just because I didn't want to open up, yet.

We walked through the path to the parking lot. Josh noticed that I was distinctly quiet, despite the awkward situation. He tried to start a conversation, "So, how was school?"

"You sound like my mom," I chuckled, "Come on, what do you want?" "Hah! You know it. Why are you acting weird?" He said concernly. I've never seen him that concerned before. I didn't reply. "Dude, I'm serious..." He mumbled.

"Liam..." he begged, more like a child's nag, actually. He started showing his classic puppy-dog face. "Uh, you really want to-" I paused, before I could finish my sentence. Margo and her friend have just passed us, a few feet away actually.

Joshua's eyes widen, with his mouth hanging open so big that I can hang a tote bag. We glanced at each other, my expression similar to his. That moment I realized, there was this other beauty, Macy Adaline, Joshua's ex.

However, our expressions were meant for different people.

The last thing I want is for people to know about this little, no tiny interest I have towards Margo. I mean, yes I do like her, it's just that I can't deny the fact that I still do, after what happened.

Writer's Note: First of all, thank you so much for reading this little piece of mine. This is one of my old writings when I was 11 (I've just turned 13) Also, sorry for my limited vocabulary and grammatical errors as I'm very very very new to writing ;-;
