"Look. I like you ok?" V wanted to say. But he couldn't. What if he would hate her afterwards? What if his mates laughed at him for getting rejected? Medeea wasn't any of their types, so they always judged him for liking her. She wasn't his type either, but something about her made him fall. Maybe it was her humour? Or the little dumb jokes she always made. No one liked her jokes but he did. She also often shared food with him. He knew how much she loved eating and was touched by the fact that she was always open to share with him. She didn't share with anyone else but him.
But it was hopeless. They weren't even friends. There's no way she saw him as anything else. And what would R think? He had just confessed to V the night before. What if R saw it as a "I'm trying to run from the fact that I like you too" thing. That wasn't the case and V definitely didn't want him thinking that. They had been friends for a long time and there was no way in hell V would ruin their friendship over a stupid crush.
"Hello? Earth to V? Answer my question?" Medeea called.
"What was your question again? I zoned out"
"You asshole! You always do this! Can you just listen for once? I asked you why you acted like that just now. You don't get to have a say in who I spend my time with or whom I date just because we kissed once. It meant nothing anyway, we were 10!"
"It's not about that... it's just... I'm your friend and I don't like that guy."
"What's wrong with him? He's a nice guy you just have to meet him. And isn't he handsome?"
"No way Jose! He's somehow uglier than the other guys you've went out with. How does he manage?"
"Shut up you're no better. Leave me alone." Medeea said as she stormed into the mall.
V sighed. He fucked it up again, just like he did the last time and the time before. It had been non-stop fights for a few months since V started liking Medeea. More like found out he liked her actually, since his feelings had probably been present for a long time before. But why was it such a deal breaker? Why couldn't their friendship be the same as it was before?
