My Shooting Star

Chapter 16

Alya's POV

He took it better than I thought I said to myself quietly and walked downstairs to find Astra drinking some iced coffee and eating a quesadilla. I smile and give her a big hug from behind. "I just broke things off with Phoenix." I say quietly and play with her hair. Her hair is so soft.
"Why?" She exclaims clearly shocked. I take a deep breath and sit down next to her.
"I like someone else." I say softly she nods and thinks for a moment.
"Who is this mysterious guy?" She asks
"Who said it was a guy?" I reply quickly and instantly feel my cheeks warm up.
"Well, you're always talking about the 'fit' guys on Love Island. So I just assumed it would be a guy" She said quickly clearly blushing as she looked away from me. I take her chin and make her look back at me.
"I said that to hide the fact that I like someone else. I didn't want them to know." I say and my cheeks burn more. I am clearly blushing now.

Astra's POV

I am just sitting and drinking my coffee and suddenly I get hugged from behind. It's Alya. This is odd, she has never done this before while awake. I can't help but smile. She says she has broken things off with Phoenix, I try to act shocked but I can't help but smile and feel happy about this. She says she likes someone else and my mind instantly starts running. What if she does like me? She could? Couldn't she? I'm just being stupid. She is straight. "Who is this mysterious guy? '' I ask already feeling jealous of the guy even though I had no idea who he was.
"Who said it was a guy?" she says. I am instantly shocked and my heart starts to race.
"Well, you're always talking about the 'fit' guys on Love Island. So I just assumed it would be a guy." I blush and look away from her. She grabs my chin and spins my face so I look at her. It.. really wasn't a guy? Well now I am jealous of this mysterious girl.  She says that she didn't want them to know. Is she blushing...? I ask myself and try to look away again. We are so close I can feel my heart start to race even more as I stare into her eyes. What is about to happen I think as she lets go of my chin.
