...

"Kylian?"I whispered seeing him with his back turned against me.

"What's wrong?"I asked stepping closer to him as I saw tears on his cheeks.

"Rien(nothing)"he said wiping them away.

I felt bad seeing him like that. I really wanted to know what happened.

"Kylian talk to me,"I calmly assured him turning his face my way me to have a better view.

"Everyone hates me,"he sighed covering his face with his hands.

"What Kylian, no?"I removed his hands.

"You can't read the hate comments, of course people are going to hate that's life and you are so much better than that. You're a world champion, don't let anybody tell you different."

He looked me in the eyes.

"I know but J'ai juste peur (I'm just scared)" he looked down.

"Scared of what?"I questioned.

"Of failure,"he sighed.

"Kylian, trust me you aren't going to fail, you have your supporters, your family, your friends and—"

"And what?"

"And me,"I said as I saw a soft smile creep on his face.

"Merci,"he chuckled.

"No problem. I know you won't let us down, just have faith and believe in yourself,"I gave him a hug.

"Really, thank you Gabrielle,"he kissed my cheek.

"And next time don't just go away like that, I was worried,"I chortled.

"No problem,"he laughed.

"But uhm K-Kylian?"

I thought it would be the perfect time. It was now or never.

"Oui?"he prodded.

"I've been thinking and I think I—"I took a deep breath.

"Tell me?"he said a bit concerned.

"I like you." I couldn't keep denying it. It was time I told him how I really felt, even though I didn't know if he felt the same way.

"Oh okay,"he nodded.

Okay?

"Kylian what do you mean with okay?"I frowned.

"I said okay."

"I heard that but you can't just say okay. I'm telling you how I feel and you're saying okay?"I chided.

"What do you want me to say then?"he asked. Was he being serious?

"How you feel?"

"Gabrielle,"he sighed. I should've known. "I think you're a very beautiful girl and you're very ni—"

"Okay Kylian just say you don't like me,"I said opening the door to head back in.

"Non attend (wait)"he held my wrist. I felt really dumb, why did I think he was actually going to like me? Me out of all people?

"Look Gabrielle, I like you too I really do but—"

"But what?"I frowned.

"I can't do—"

"Mec, où es-tu —Oh suis je dérangeant quelque chose?(Dude, Where have you be- Oh am I disturbing something?)"Presnel sputtered.

"Uh Non, j'étais sur le point de retourner à l'intérieur(Uhm no, I was just about to go back inside)"I retorted as I went past Presnel.
