"See you tomorrow!" I said as I closed the door behind me, it's been a rough week with the racism in the school intensifying.

Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Not to mention...Art's face just randomly flashed in my mind.

Why you gotta hug me like that every time you see me?
Why you always making me laugh
Swear you're catching feelings
I made my way down the corridor, while thoughts and memories of him and I circled around my head.

I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart
I began to think about my relationship with him from the start, from how you became my friend to someone I could love for 5 years...

When you say I'm just a friend to you
Cause friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
Anger boils within me every time I think about it, every time he does something loving, his words say otherwise.

Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
My confession. The kiss on the forehead. I...no words could describe how I felt, anger for myself, for him, embarrassment, sadness.

Mmm, mmm, mmm

When there's other people around
You never wanna kiss me
When he hugs me, the way he wipes my tears away.

You tell me it's too late to hang out
And you say you miss me
When we walked under the moon light, we could've walked for longer, I wouldn't have minded. He said he missed me, couldn't he have asked to spend more time together?

And I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart
When you say I'm just a friend to you
Cause friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
Every step hardened as I thought about how he avoided me for so long.

Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
I paced and paced, a boy in black appeared in front of me from where the two main corridors intersected, his hair tied into a bun.
Arthur?

You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
I began to chase after him, but he starts to quickly walk away.

You say I'm just a friend to you
Friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
"ARTHUR! STOP RIGHT THERE!"

I tried to be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
"DON'T YOU DARE!" I could feel tears forming as he paced further and further away.

A friend to you
I finally caught up to him and ran to block the door.

A friend to you
He finally faced me, after a month and a half of avoiding. Until you were pretty much fully healed.

A friend to you
"Arthur. Let's talk." I said brightly with a smug smile, whilst dreading the conversation that'll come.
