Ch 24- Just a Friend to You

A few weeks almost a month later...
Although Arthur was feeling a lot better, he could walk now. But with- his vis- ists from Gre-y-

Although Arthur was feeling a lot better, he could walk now, and is allowed to go back to class, but he's still not allowed to use magic to an extent.

Elijah's POV
What a lesson! We learnt how to use spells more accurately, I can't believe that I shot that target! It was like 90 meters away!

I walked down the steps and thanked the teacher, I made my way to the door, I sighed inwardly.

God. I'm so tired! I stretched, last lesson of the day! Woohoo!

As I crossed the door frame, a student with a black uniform sped past the door almost bumping into me. That bastard. Wait...black uniform...

I played back what happened in my head, he had brownish hair and it was tied in a bun.

Art?

He paced, well limped away with his little cane past my room, although he can walk properly without a cane, I think he grown fond on it, I chuckled.

Besides that, I should probably catch up to him, so wasting another moment I sped up, trying to catch up to him.

Although he wasn't quick the students who began filling the corridor helped him escape.

Shit. What could be so terrifying that made even him run away?

I looked back the direction Art was desperately running away from, there was a sea of students then a small parting with a person...a girl(?) in the middle.

Tessia?

I thought as I saw long silver hair sway with every stride she took. Oh no.

Damn it Art! Why do you have to keep running away from her?!

I know you feel awkward but can't you just think about how bad she's feeling too?! I thought as I emphasised with the girl.

You can't do shit, if you keep avoiding her. Arthur...I inwardly sighed to myself, wiping my hand down my face.

You've been sending the girl mixed signal all this time and you didn't think that she would do this? What is wrong with you?

That bastard, even I know you like her! Do you know how fucking dense I am?

I continuing berating him in my head as I made my way to our dorm.

Tessia's POV
Every time I try and talk to him he keeps running away! Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

Of course you shouldn't have done that! Tessia why are you so selfish! I continued to march through the corridor.

I'm just so angry. Why can't he just talk to me?!

If he didn't like me like that, he wouldn't have let me sleep next to him.

If he didn't like me like that, he wouldn't have played with my hair.

If he didn't like me like that, he wouldn't have let me cuddle up to him.

He allowed me to put my head on his shoulder, hug him, hold him!

The way he always teases me and makes me laugh. How he always comforted me...

How you told me that you missed me...

I thought that...there was a chance...a chance that you would like me back...

The confession was always on the tip of my tongue but I could never do it. So I used another way to tell you...

Am I truly just a friend to you?

A boy who is desperately running away from confrontation. Another who was caught in between. And a naive girl who was only trying to be brave; facing her consequences.

She stood there in the middle of the crowd, I only wanted to talk to you...why am I the one at fault...I shouldn't have done that...

Regret filled her heart, why did she confess? She could've lived in ignorance and bliss.

The boy ran. He ran from his past, his present and his future. Does he know that even if he continues to run, time will always catch its debtors?

Author's Notes
Sooo I've desired that I'll do mini chapters (500-1000 words) rather than a normal one (2000-2500 words) every week.

I'm a bit rusty so it'll probably be iffy for a while...anyways hoped you liked it and see ya next week!
