Eliza and Felix

Chapter 5

I've always liked him but when ever someone told him I denied it, I'm so scared that they'll tell him. I look up to see my surroundings and turns out I'm in a corner right below my class. I wiped away my tears and headed up the stairs. How could anyone do that tell people. It's just how when girls cried when they told their crush that they liked them in elementary, problem is that when people find out I like someone it turns for the worst. I don't want that to happen with Felix. I mean well yea I did date people to get over him but I guess it didn't work. I still want him. I still love him but what is wrong with everyone why did Jorge tell his friends people didn't have to know it's not funny people will start laughing at me again. "Eliza," I turned to see Henry. "Hey you ok why are you crying?" Henry is one of my really close friends. I suddenly ran into his arms and started crying even more. "Hey hey what's wrong why are you crying." I didn't answer and just continued crying in his arms. "Eliza I need you to breathe and tell me what's wrong." He put his hand at the top of my head and stroked my hair to help calm me down. "Can you talk to me now?" I looked up with tears still streaming down my eyes. I wiped them away with my sleeves and looked back up. "I like a boy well the same boy from middle school, you remember how badly people treated me. The kicking the punching the hair pulling and everything. Especially when I liked someone. I'm scared that it will happen again and I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to be bullied again. I don't want any of that to happen again." I felt more tears falling from my eyes like it was a hurricane. "And I just really like him and." Henry cut me off by pulling me into a hug. He was always like an older brother to me. I wrapped my arms around him and let it all out. "Eliza everything will be ok. Give him some time to fall for you and when he does, shoot your shot. And if people tell him then they tell him you can't control that but you can control the way he sees you. So don't be fake show him the real you. Show him how amazing you are and how beautiful this world is, let him see you and the real you. The book lover you as well as the anime obsessed girl you are. You are beautiful." He says lifting my face off of his chest that I was crying into. "You may be sensitive but that's only because of people constantly breaking your heart and you always have to put it back together, but you are wonderful now try your best and go get him!" I smile and remove myself from his chest. I wipe my face and ready to go to class. He hugs me one last time and waves good bye to me. I run to my class already knowing I'm late. I knock on my teachers door and wait patiently for them to open it. I look at the door and there was a note.

So I have to go get my books now great. I walked to the other side of the school and saw my classmates as well as my teacher. I walked up to them and apologized for being late. "Oh it's ok just go get your books and we'll talk about it back in class." I nodded and walked in the line my class was in.
