Yearning Alora. (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Part 4

[ ZELAN'S POV ]

It was lunch break and I still couldn't get Alora out of my mind.

Did they have a panic attack? Why did they run away? Did I look that intimidating?

Fuck, my thoughts are eating me up.
I'll just meet them when the school ends. But what if they run away from me later too?

Running my hands over my hair, I sighed. I've literally been trying to approach them since 6th grade when I saw some scars on their thighs. But I had no balls to do so.

I know, I might sound nosey but I just want to help them. I know there's something I see in their eyes. Pain. I don't think so they've friends cause I've never seen them talking to anybody. I want to be their friend and help them.

I really adored the way their honey brown eyes, were shining even though there were no lights in the floor. Their jet black hair looked so soft and silky. I'm a literal simp for girls who have short hair so don't mind me. The way their pouty red lips looked so kissable and sexy- fuck I should stop.

"You alright?" Chris asked, munching on his peanut butter and bread.

"Uh" I was debating whether to tell him or not. "Yea, everything's fine."

"Yea, sure Mr. Zelan. So what's up?" He smiled wickedly cause he knows I always open up to him no matter what. Sighing, I told him what happened.

"Hmm, I've talked to Alora quite many times." he looked like, he was in a deep thought.

But on the other side, I envied him for talking to Alora. Did Chris make them smile? What did they talk about? What does Chris mean by "quite many times"?

Fuck.

"You know, you can ask them out."
I choked on water and accidentally spit on my pants. Great. I don't even have new pants to change into. I sent a death glare to Chris.

Meanwhile, he was just trying to keep a straight face.

"Fuck you Chris. I don't even have other pants to change into. This is all your fault." I snapped at him.

"Dude, you should have taken a look at your face when I said that! Oh god, you face was so priceless. Haha" he started laughing loudly at me.

"But, I do have new pants in the truck of my car." He winked at me. But then again, he starting laughing.

But thankfully, I wore a baggy sweatshirt that covers my pelvis, so it won't be visible. But still I felt really uncomfortable.

"Dude, I have just 25 more minutes for my next class. And stop fucking laughing." I glared at him.

"Alright, alright." He started to take deep breathes to subside his laughter. He is getting on my nerves.

"I was kidding when I asked you to ask Alora out, but it's actually not a bad idea though."

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I'm getting tired of this dick.

"I don't know man, but you can try talking to them casually like how a friend does." Chris said.

"Yea, but- "

Lucas. Chris's boyfriend, came to our table to which, Chris nodded as if to say, later.

"Hey guys." Lucas said with a kind smile on his face. I actually, kind-of like Lucas. But I swear to god, if he cheats or hurts Chris, I won't hesitate to punch him in the guts. He gives me good vibes unlike Chris's ex-boyfriends did.

"Hi babe." Chris said. They both kissed right in front of my face. Urgh. I looked away to give them some privacy, but I caught a person crying with their hands on their face. Wait, isn't that the person whom I've been meaning to see them again? But why are they crying?

"I'll be back." I said to Chris and Lucas, who looked confused.

I ran to the table where I saw Alora, sitting alone in a table but they weren't eating but crying. I went to the table and sat down, which went un-noticed by them.

"Alora?" I asked, more like I whispered. My eyes widened when they flinched hard when they heard me. Are they afraid of me? Alora looked up to meet my eyes, and I was shocked by how afraid they looked.

They are literally shaking. Blood-shot eyes, red cheeks, swollen lips. Fuck, who did this to my alora? Wait my alora..? This isn't the time Zelan. They looked away when they found out that I was staring at them.

"What happened?" I asked politely to them.

"I-I n-no, um n-nothing." They stammered. My heart beat started to increase at the thought of them afraid of me. They looked un-easy and uncomfortable. I sighed.

"Look, I know there's something bothering you. I just wanted to let you know that, I'm always here for you. You don't deserve to suffer in silence. If you want someone to vent to, just let me know." I smiled at them.

For which they didn't return but stared at me as if I've grown three heads. They look so beautiful, fuck. Those swollen lips.. wonder how they taste.

They just nodded, seeming unsure.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. I prayed that, they would tell "yes". I'm dying to know, who did this to them.

"What?! No, no please no!" she shouted at me.

Then it was my turn to flinch at her tone, which seemed that she was nervous and afraid.

I'm so sure that there's something going on in their life. Fuck I want to help them so bad. I dislike the way some people suffer in silence, they don't deserve it nor anybody does.

This is the society's problem, only if people were aware that mental illness is just important as physical illness.

"Alright, I completely understand, you don't have to tell me if you aren't comfortable." I smiled at them to assure that it's fine.

"And uh may I ask if you had your lunch yet?" I asked.

They nodded their head. I narrowed my eyes at them, cause I could somehow tell that they were lying. Just as I was about to ask if it was true, the bell rang. Fuck this school.

Alora started to get up and go to their next class, but I wanted to ask them something. "Hey, wait up alora!" they looked at me with their honey brown eyes that always seem to make me speechless.

"y-yes?" they asked.

"If you are comfortable with answering this, may I know what your pronouns are? I don't want to mis-gender you." I asked with a smile. Honestly I've never smiled this hard in my life.

They smiled and shook their head playfully. The way their short black hair smelled like peaches. Damn.

"she/them." They answered. My eyes literally twinkled with joy and happiness that she answered. I swear to god, I might look like a kid right now.

"Thank you. And I go by he/him by the way." I don't know why I mentioned my pronouns but all I care is that she answered me plus she smiled at me.
