Loving someone can be easily mistaken as hate as they say love and hate are two sides of the same coin, Eddie Munson and y/n l/n have known each other since they were kids y/n used to love Eddie all until Chrissy came along and he loved Chrissy y/n...
I know Eddie probably wouldn't have said what he says in this but just roll with it

"Where is he?" I whisper to myself while walking through the hallways of my middle school. Out of the corner of my eye I see one of my friends, "Chrissy have you seen Eds" I ask slowing down as I near her locker "I think he went outside" she responds while giving me a sickeningly happy smile "alright thanks"
I bolt towards the exit and open the doors to reveal none other then Eddie Munson.
"Eddie?" I question and he turns towards me, fiddling with his rings "aren't you supposed to be getting ready for the talent show what are you doing out here?" I ask frantically, He smiles at my concern "I needed some air, apparently they're putting us in groups before we preform it was just making me nervous" he whispers out the last part, I notice him tapping his fingers on his jeans, one of his nervous tells, I walk over and give him a hug "there's nothing to worry about Eds they'll love you" I reassure him and he hugs me back while whispering a small thank you after a minute or two he pulls away and grabs my hand "to the talent show we go!" He shouts as we march into the building fingers intertwined
-Time skip to after groups are picked-
Me and Eddie were put into a group with our band and Chrissy.
As we walk into the room we were assigned to, Chrissy was already standing there waiting, I run over and give her a hug "thank goodness it's you I thought we would be stuck with Jason or someone like that" I sigh in relief, she gives me a soft smile before turning her attention to the people behind me I watch her cheeks lightly glow red so I turn around to see who she's looking at. Eddie. She's looking at Eddie but that's not even the worst part, the worst part is that he's looking at her cheeks red as well, My chest starts to burn and suddenly I just wanna sit down so that's what I do I move away from Chrissy and sit in one of the dark blue plastic chairs in the center of the room as I sit down I feel the cold plastic meet the back of my thighs causing a shiver to run down my spine, I sit and watch as everyone starts talking
'fuck this' I think to myself as I play with the hem of my shorts avoiding eye contact anyone
"Hi I'm Eddie" his voice pulls me out of my trance as fear and doubt begins to run through my head, I look up to see him introducing himself to Chrissy "I'm Chrissy" she responds shaking his hand "you're probably the prettiest girl I've ever seen" Eddie announces being bold per usual but his words kinda sting they sting more then his hand lingering on hers it stings more then the way he's looking at her in a way he's never looked at me.
I abruptly stand up and everyone looks at me "where are you going y/n" one of our band mates asks me "to the bathroom" I reply dryly as I stand up and walk out the door I feel a hand pull me back but we're still in the hallway I look over to see it's Eddie, I roll my eyes "what do you want Eddie" I whisper shout at him, he turns his head to the side giving me the 'what the hell is wrong' look but I continue walking.
I thought I got away only to hear him shuffling his feet behind me "what are you going to the bathroom with me now?" I ask with a mean tone turning around to him "if that's what I have to do for you to tell me what the hell your problem is" he spits back. I cross my arms looking away from him "don't have one" he laughs at me "really because I just watched you storm out of the room" I sigh contemplating my options "you really wanna know" I mumble turning my head away from him "obviously" he states matter of factly "fine, I love you" I blurt out and he shakes his head "I love you too you're like my sister" my heart pounds harder but this time with more pain and hurt "no you don't get it Eddie I'm in love with you"
silence. the one thing I hate the most is silence.
We've been standing in the cold hallways for 3 minutes neither of us daring to speak, I finally turn my head to face him and see he has a small frown on his face "y/n I..." he starts but I cut him off "I get it you don't feel that way towards me" he shook his head "yeah your just not my type like at all" he whispers probably thinking I didn't hear but I did "oh but Chrissy's your type" I ask with a petty tone he looks up at me and nods "yeah she is she's positive and looks kinda happy she's absolutely gorgeous and looks like fun to be around you... you're not like that, sometimes you're so boring, honestly the only reason I really hangout with you is because your mom asks me too" he stops for a second and realizes what he said and begins to apologize
"No Eddie save it I'm leaving, I'm sure you guys can preform without me, because like you said I'm just annoying everyone in there so why be there at all" I turn and start walking towards the doors but before I leave I say one last thing "don't talk to me again Munson" his last name comes out of my mouth like venom
Middle school the last day I ever talked to Eddie Munson the day I learned my most valuable lesson people don't need you they may act like they do but they don't
