What I Meant

Entry no. 35: Forgive

You had tried to contact me for 2 days.

I had successfully avoided you for 2 days.

Every time you walked in my direction, I went the other way.

Every time you would text me, I'd delete the chat.

I thought that I was foolish and stupid to think you liked me too.

I didn't think you were that bold.

That all changed during lunch, on Wednesday.

I was walking to the tree that I usually sat at with Aliya and Raina and my other friends, in our circle, but no one was there.

But then, you came, around the corner.

You took long forceful strides towards me, and you looked nervous, and your hair was disheveled, but I didn't care, and your eyes were... I should stop now. Shouldn't I?

Anyways you came up to me, and I was about to get up and leave, you blocked my way, and blocked the sun.

"What do you want?" I said, lowering my voice.

"You haven't talked me all week."

"It's been 2 days, you'll live." I said rolling my eyes and taking a step.

"I texted you 3 times about having our date tonight. There's a different band, Bastille." you said, running your hand through you hair.

"No, sorry, I'm not available today, actually, tomorrow, and the next day too, if you were wondering." God, I loved Bastille.

"I thought you liked me too." you said, obviously confused.

"I did." I did love you. "You already rainchecked our last date, and went with someone else."

"How do you know I went my cousin Melissa?"

"Cousin?"

"Yeah, she's 25, and was in town. Remember how I have a complicated family? Well I was forced to go with her, family matters. She's my step-cousin, I guess."

"Oh."

"You thought I was seeing someone else, didn't you?" you said, chuckling.

"N-n-no well, yes, I don't know, I went to the concert alone and met Everett."

"Oh. I'll just a...go now." You said, stuffing your hands in your pockets and taking a step back.

"N-no, you don't have to go."

"Really?"

"yeah"
