Meet me on the bridge

Chapter 8: My feelings For you, Senior

Today was finally the day when Amy would finally go out with Leo.

"I wonder if Senior arrived already or not," thought Amy, rushing to the meeting spot, buzzing with excitement.

When Amy reached the meeting point, he was there, sketching.

"Senior, sorry for being a bit late, I'd almost lost my phone on the way here,"

"Don't worry, I am glad that you can make it. Anyways, let's get going and find a spot to draw."

After that they found different spots and Leo managed to draw a few drawings of her.

Soon evening was near, and they were crossing a bridge.

Amy saw that it might be a good time for her to express her feelings since it was almost time to go home and if she had lost this one chance, she may not have it anymore any time soon.

"Se... Senior. I... I... want to tell you something," said Amy nervously.

"What is it, Amy?"

"Did you have fun today?" asked Amy.

"Yea I really did enjoy it Amy. Thank you,"

Amy then shook her head and thought to herself.

"Why am I trying to dodge the question. No. I have to do it. No. I must do it, here and now. Come on Amy, I know you can do it,"

"Senior. Please stop walking. I have something to tell you, and I wanted you to answer me honestly," said Amy while pulling Leo's sleeve in the middle of the bridge.

"Huh, why so sudden?" said Leo in a confused voice.

Amy then took a deep breath, and proceeded to profess her feelings to Leo.

"Senior, during these few months, spending time with you, I really enjoyed it. It was so much fun and I never thought my high school life would be that enjoyable. It was because of you, I found a reason to wake up everyday. You are the reason why I am here. I... I... I like you, senior!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Silence surrounded them like an impenetrable shield. Leo's expression changed immediately after hearing her feelings.

"Senior, is everything ok? You look so down," said Amy while worrying about him.

Without a single word out of his mouth, he started to walk away and left Amy behind.

The sun had finally set and rain suddenly poured down from the sky after he left.

Amy sat there, in the middle of the rain, rivulets of tears streaming from her eyes.

"What have I done wrong..."
