HE'S MINE

010

She had a video of me and Mikey's conversation in the car. I don't understand how did she manage to catch it, it was embarrassing, especially when Mikey brushed my hair and I flushed. Since having no audio turned everything out of context, I looked guilty. I felt like I've deceived my friend, and I felt bad for Yuzuha.

Yuzuha watched the whole thing silently, I was at the edge of crying but we remained silent.

"Is that it or there is something else?" Yuzuha, who looked hurt, pretended to be okay. "I told him to speak to her." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh!" Baji's twin after a failure, sighed, but she wasn't done yet, Thanks goodness, I was so frightened when I saw her crying." well, my jaw dropped, I have no idea if she has been watching me at my home or what but I knew she possessed something more to add.

"When and why?" Yuzuha asked her and quickly looked at me, I was watching them blankly. It was the proper moment for me to speak up for myself, but the inner me, who was desperate for everyone's approval stayed quiet.

"Oh, the day she saw you guys making out by the locker, damn she was heartbroken, crying and running like a crazy woman." Baji's twin dramatically batted her eyelashes and faked a sad look.

"This is what happens when you have high dreams." she proceeded, her minions, giggled behind her.

"Bye, see you later," now that her task here was done, she left waving her hand at us. This awkward silence and Yuzuha brainstorming weren't gonna do any right.

"I can explain." Before Yuzuha could say anything, I mumbled as guilt filled my entire body.

"Do you like him?" She questioned, staring me in the eye. It was so mortifying, and now that I knew I have lost Mikey, my love for him has harvested the attention.

"Always," I whispered in guilt, not daring to gaze into her eyes. Look, Mikey, what my love for you is doing to me, slowly making me lose my friend and everything I have attained so far. I didn't want to lie to her anymore as well, I knew it was no use but she must know.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" She didn't seem mad, more like she was concerned, which came as a jolt by the way.

"Like we tell each other everything." I scoffed sarcastically, not because I was attempting to be rude, but I was just trying to prove a point, "And you don't have to worry Y, It was in the past and every girl got a crush on someone." I added, guessing it might distract her, but she was too focused on the topic to let it go.

"This feels so wrong. I honestly believed you merely wanted to remain in his good books as you want with everyone. If I had a slightest of the idea, I swear I would have stayed miles away from him." She bowed her head down and articulated it all in one breath. I can tell her energy was down, but on the positive side, there were no more secrets left between us. It was also heart-warming to know she didn't hold grudges against me due to this situation.

"Yuzuha, he likes you, and crushes never matters. How about we move on from this?" I passed her a smile, glad to have my friend back. What made me guilty was that I was all the same thinking about Mikey when he was seeing my friend.

"I'll make sure you get someone equally good as him." She took my hand and shared a smile. Now that the truth was out, it was going to be a little difficult for me to drool and not get caught.

"I'll," I replied, honestly, lying on her face because I don't reckon I can ever love someone as much as I have loved Mikey.

After hanging out for a few more minutes, we head back to school to help Yuzuha get her notes from the locker. The school was empty, it was just us walking in the direction of the lockers.
