KIERA

Ava: That's a confession.

Kiera: How did you come up to that conclusion?

As much I wanted it to be true I don't think it was.

Ava: Those who will stay... Will stay... So I will stay. Meaning let me be the only one who stays beside you. How can an aspiring writer not know what the speaker means?

Maeve: What will she know? All she has done is study.

Ava: How do you know then?

Maeve: Don't you think I'd know more than a person who has been single all life?

Ava: Am I the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend yet? She doesn't have one either.

Ava pointed at me.

Maeve: It looks like she will start dating soon.

I blushed like a tomato. I needed to divert my head from the thoughts. 

Kiera: How did you and Theo started dating?

Maeve: Well I think it was the first day of school of junior year. I was walking to an empty seat when I saw Theo, a tall muscular guy for a 11th grader staring at me with his dark brown eyes. I ignored him at first but he then came and sat beside me. Turned out he was very genuine. He says he saw a ray of light behind me.

Me and Ava were mesmerized by the story. We wanted love like this. 

Maeve: Why aren't you dating? 

Maeve asked Ava. 

Ava: My mom says that when I enter college I am going to find guys like Robert Pattinson and Andrew Garfield.

Did I hear it right?? Who was gonna tell her the reality?

Maeve did an eyeroll.

Maeve: But I am pretty sure Caleb likes you. The way he looks at you..

Butterflies need to stop! I was back to my class, writing whatever the teacher was dictating. I took some time to look back at Caleb, he was busy writing. I think I stared at him too long. He looked at me staring at him. I turned my head back to the teacher. Does he really like me or am I assuming things?

The guys were having a football match. Everyone's eyes was stuck on Caleb or at least all the girls. Ryan passed the ball to Caleb, he scored a goal within the last seconds of the match and won it. Everyone cheered.

Kiera: At first I thought it was ridiculous as I watched him. But he is mature. One day I met him while walking at the park I called for him but he totally ignored me. One day I was trying to get into the class and he pulled my bag so I hit my head. Apparently it was his version of fun. He said he did that because he thought I was weird and things like this happened with people like us. I kept noticing that he cares for me. I think I like him.

Ava puked her coke back to the cup when I finished speaking. 

Ava: How disgusting? Has love turned you blind? How can you sugarcoat that rude jerk?

Kiera: He looks cold hearted but he is a sweet guy.

Ava nodded a no and diverted the topic.

Ava: Let's go to a concert this Saturday. Dad bought me tickets since the exams are over.

Kiera: I'm busy Saturday. Its the second day of the writing competition I am in so I kinda have to go to the camp for three days.

Ava: Yeah righttt I totally forgot about it if you win you will get into a creative program you wanted to get into. You will become a star writer!!!!!
