The Stars & Us

06. A Change

"𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯!"

He just standing there and didn't answer me.

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬?"

"𝘏𝘶𝘩?"

Both of us looking at Jake's back who walking around. I was confused of what happened with him.

Ah, shit. Here we go again. Another day. I feel so stupid for last night. It's not what I wanted. What should I do. I shouldn't do that. Hazel, what will I do to her.

I decided to hide from Ethan and Hazel and pretend nothing happened between us. Try to be cool, and naughty just like me. The real me.

I saw her in the room. I can't help but she's the first thing I saw when the door opened. Her pretty and small face. She stand behind Ethan, that makes her looks even smaller. Her cute and confused face. With scared feelings I guess. I have to act cool and stay calm. But my heart can't.

The way she looks at me. Makes me want to hug her. But I can't and I shouldn't.

I walk past her even when she asked me. It's hard to avoid her. She's really, huh. I'm tired with myself. I feel so stupid. How can I falling in love now. With her. And Ethan again. I shouldn't do it again. Twice? No. No, never.

It's time for a math class. And guess who I saw when I come to the class. The empty class just me and one person. Jake. I stared at him for a minute. But he didn't even flinch when he saw me.

I walk and have a seat in front of him. Not basically in front of him, but in the line in front of him. I look back at him, he just playing with his phone.

"𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦?"

"𝘏𝘮."

"𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘢𝘥?"

"𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?"

He sounded so cold at mean and didn't even look back at me.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺."

"𝘜𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶."

"𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦, 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶? 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵."

"𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵."

The moment he said that. Hurt me. He hurt me. I stay silent and don't want to talk to him again. I feel like tears are so much in my eyes right now.

After the class done, I heard someone calling my name.

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭."

"𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯!"

"𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘰."

I smiled at him and it looks like he's looking at the man behind me. I don't care about Jake. I pack my books and run towards Ethan. We promised to eat together today as he wants to talk to me.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶."

"𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯?"

"𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵."

"𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵. 𝘐 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵. 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵. 𝘐 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯, 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘰. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮."
