If We Had Worked

Chapter 2 - Science

It had turned out me and Nick had science together, so we started talking more often. He was really funny and a very smart person. Our seats weren't
very close to each other so we would mostly talk during labs, which even by being distracted he still worked really well.

I eventually convinced my teacher to move seats closer to Nick to be part of his science group. Which is when I met Liam.

He sat right in front of me while Nick sat in front of him. We hit it off and he ended up being really funny too. I never had any chance of passing that class anyways so I mostly just talked to Nick and Liam.

I started getting a crush on this guy named Aiden. He was Asian with short black hair and pale skin. He had toned muscles but still skinny enough to look easily breakable.

I thought he was cute, though never really new what he was like. So I told Nick and Liam.

Liam decided to help me out as a wingman. He told me to ask for his number after class and said he'd be there for support. So I did what any other confident girl would do, I asked for his number after class.

Aiden gave it to me but seemed very hesitant at first. That should've been my first sign to not even text him in the first place. But I was dumb and after my problems with my father, the daddy issues were kicking in.

I got Liam's number in the process as well, as friends of course but mostly as my wingman.

I started texting Liam all the time so he could help me text Aiden. He happily helped of course but his advice didn't really work much.

I eventually stopped texting Aiden and lost interest once he became dry. I wasn't sure what I was expecting though.

Me and Liam got closer after that and we would talk constantly over text, as friends. Right?

During school we didn't hang out much other than science class. We had different friend groups so it felt weird hanging with him during lunch.

Even when we didn't hang out I would stare at him from afar. Not in a weird way of course. I just admired him.

He was really attractive the more I noticed him. His hair a nice shade of brown and his eyes hazel with a tint of green. He was tall, around 5'11 which was pretty tall compared to me. He towered over me.

Shut up Jia he's your friend. But maybe we could be more?

I decided to hold in my feelings for a week. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

I made a deal. I would tell him how I felt when I got home that Friday.
