Meet me on the bridge

Chapter 11: Apologies

It was finally the day. Leo was wandering around the school looking for Amy.

"Where will she be if she's not finding me," said Leo while looking around his surroundings.

Suddenly, not far away, Joyce stood in the shadows, looking at him dead in the eyes.

"Why is there a girl looking at me?" thought Leo.

Suddenly Joyce rushed towards Leo.

"Wha... What is this arghh..." shouted Leo while running away from Joyce.

"Don't you dare run away you idiot who hurt Amy's feelings two days ago," shouted Joyce while chasing Leo at the back.

"Huh, wait, you are one of her acquaintances?" said Leo while slowing down.

Not a few moments later, Joyce caught up with him and carried him.

"Arghh put me down, this is embarrassing," shouted Leo in pain.

"Nope, and now let's go to the next destination, to AMY!!!!" shouted Joyce.

Amy is there, waiting under the tree for Joyce.

"Where is she right now? Looks like she can't locate him," said Amy in a sad tone.

Not far in the distance, she saw a familiar figure running towards her while carrying someone.

"Wait, is that..."

A few seconds later, Joyce arrived at the spot. She left Leo with Amy and run away immediately while shouting,

"You better apologise to her or else, I am going to deal with you if anything happens to Amy,"

After she left, there was nothing but silence only around the atmosphere.

"Senior, I..."

Before Amy could continue, Leo started to apologise to her.

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have left you there, unanswered and alone,"

"No Senior, it must be something that I said that made you act like that."

"No, you did not. I wasn't that I hated you anything. It's just that you, you look like my mom. Every time I spent time with you, I felt like I was spending my time with mom when I was young. I was also very confused about my feelings for you. I cannot give you a solid answer yet, for now. At least I can say that I haven't seen you that way, but I believe I can, when the time is right. Just wait for me Amy. I promise you when the time is right, I will give you my answer, loud and clear,"

Suddenly silence returns to the scene. Leo is nervous while closing his eyes afraid that Amy cannot accept the fact.

"Pfftt, is that so Senior? Why didn't you tell me that I looked like your mom?"

"I can't because she is already dead."

"Is that so? That was sudden. No wonder you decided to hide it from me."

"So do you hate me now?" asked Leo nervously.

"No, because I know Senior will fall for me one day, and I will wait for the day to come."

The dust settled and the status quo resumed. But was this the end, or was it just the beginning...
