My Shooting Star

Chapter 13

Leo's POV

Hate her? I could never hate her! "I don't hate you okay!" I say and wipe her tears.
"Then what is wrong!" she shouts. Alya and Phoenix come running in and stare at me. "I don't want to hurt you." I mumble
"What was that?" She shouts
"Nothing." I say feeling defeated
"You know what! Get out of my house.." She shouts. I am so shocked. She lets go of my hand and I sigh.
"Fine!" I shout then add "I heard you say you may like me! I don't want to hurt you, so I am trying to get you to hate me again. Happy?" She goes completely quiet and walks away, Alya following her. Phoenix walks over and pulls me into a bro hug.

Astra's POV

I am so stupid I say over and over again in my head until I burst into tears. I sit on the floor of my bathroom and lock the door. I hear a knock. "G-Go a-away" I mutter my voice breaking.
"Astra.. It's me. Let me in." I hear Alya say so I unlock the door and let her in. She sits down and hugs me. I sniffle and reach for a tissue and wipe my eyes. "I.. am s-so s-stupid" I say my voice is still breaking. "Astra.. You're not stupid.. Come on.. Just apologise, I'm sure everything will be fine?" She whispers trying to comfort me. I just nod feeling terrible and wipe my eyes. I walk out into the hallway and hear Leo and Phoenix talking, so I decide to listen.

Leo's POV

Phoenix walked up to me and hugged me. "Bro, why don't you just tell her you love her!" He exclaimed.
"Bro! She hates me, I can't just tell her! It will make whatever we have awkward." I said back as I stepped out of his hug and looked towards the door that was still held open. I sigh and start to step towards the door. Suddenly I look towards the corridor doorway and see Astra. She smiles and runs up to me.
