Raine's POV:
📍:Academy 

(Italicized indicates flashbacks)

"You gonna tell him?" The girl whose my roommate asked me. Her names Anna.

"Yes. I didn't even realize I felt this way about him until-"

"Gets the best of us Raine. Plus you were kids. You couldn't expect yourself to know right."

I think I did though girl. I think I did.

"Have the two of you ever had a moment?" She asked.

"If by moment you mean..." I pause.

It's quiet for a moment and then Anna gets the light bulb.

"WAIT PAUSE HOLY HECK YOU SLEPT WITH-"

"STOP!! DO NOT LET THE REST OF THAT COME OUT PLEASE!" I say covering my face.

"Raine since when was it realllllllly like that?!" She asked even more invested in the conversation now.

"Uhh..Anna, it kind of just. It was a weird moment okay."

"I- wow- you. I never would've thought. You're totally the waiting til marriage type girlie."

"CHILL OUT BRUH, I had a little slip up...glad it was with someone who actually cares about me though. I could've really effed up." I say stopping a moment trying not to beat myself up over it.

"I understand you girl. Like I said, happens to the best of us...sometimes without even realizing the emotional damage it could do."

I nodded after touching up my pinned back Afro puff.

"Makeup or no?"

"Girlie, he's gotta be for you without before he can for you..with." Anna responds with an eyebrow raised.

"You've got a point. Preciate that."

"HURRY UP BEFORE YOU BACK OUT!""

"Ahh okay okay, I'm going." I say giggling. "Thank you, Anna. Catch ya later."

She's been just a good little friend to keep around since joining academy.

"No coming back with a walk of shame...again. ight." She scoffs.

"Ha. Ha, that's NOT FUNNY STOP-" I yell walking out the door.

I stopped for a minute to brace myself. I am really going to do this. I will do this.

Leon Kennedy, you are going to know I love you for sure.

Yet of course, that silent voice always making it's presence known in my brain, will have to make its statement.

ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵃʳᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜʰᵃⁿᶜᵉˢ ᴿᵃⁱⁿᵉ? ᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᵃᵇˢᵒˡᵘᵗᵉˡʸ ˢᵘʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ʷᵃⁿᵗ ᵗʰⁱˢ? ⁱᵗˢ ᵍᵒⁱⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ᶜʰᵃⁿᵍᵉ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ. ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵏⁿᵒʷ ⁱᶠ ʸᵒᵘ ˢʰᵒᵘˡᵈ. ᴴᵉ ʷᵒⁿ'ᵗ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᴿᵃⁱⁿᵉ.

I'd believe them, if I thought he surely just use me for that. That he'd finally discard me, or think of me as only that..but I don't believe them. I don't believe he's that way. I don't believe he's grown to be that.

My only choice is to block them out, or believe them. I AM DOING IT.

I pull out my phone immediately, then search for his contact name.
