"You are a kid, you are too immature for me, yeah I do share everything with you, but I always thought of you as a friend", he said. My eyes were moist, I was heartbroken, and I never looked Jay in the eye when we were talking, I saw him ultimately. He had curly hair. He had a pity look on his face. I hated that. He told me that he didn't want to lose friends, I told him that he already did and left. He has known me for 2 years, he flirts with me all the time, and is this really what he understood about me, that I left my brain at school, introvert etcetera? I was pathetic, I went away from there as fast as I can. I was in college and I went near the newly constructed building. I want to cry and let it all out but I couldn't. I started kicking the step with my heels, and that's when I heard someone saying,
"Are you okay?", I was frustrated, I recognize the voice.
"How come you just appear whenever am in trouble??",
"I don't know, how come you are always in trouble?", I laughed,
"What's the problem now?", I didn't know if I could tell him what was wrong with me, then I felt hell he doesn't know Jay, he isn't the same branch as us, it won't matter.
"There's this guy, I kinda liked him, obviously he didn't like me back, that's his choice, but staying friends with him was absolutely stupid given my feelings, but he still messages me so that he can feel better about himself, that just hurts me more, moreover he completely thinks am immature, introverted and stupid, which am not, he just said all these to me and I walked away from there, felt like crying, I came here, I couldn't cry so I started kicking this thing." I took a breath after this strange monologue.
"OK, chill you said you didn't feel like crying it out, doesn't that mean he doesn't deserve you and your tears?",
"I guess",
"Stop guessing, and please improve your taste in guys, you deserve the best",
"Thank you, Wow this felt better than kicking that step",
"It's ok, chill", He went away but before leaving he touched my cheek.
I was blushing, real hard blushing. I went to the class smiling like an idiot, I bet jay got confused with my mood after everything that happened.
I told my friends, and they bitched about Jay, I was still blushing like an idiot. That's when it struck me he is my close friend's best friend, I can't be doing this, I can't sabotage my relationship with my Lucky. I had to let go of these butterflies. These happen in movies, real life sucks the peace out of us. This better be a nightmare.
