It had been a few days since Imani came back to school after a week off, but for Jobe, it felt like an eternity. In school, their encounters were nothing more than quick hellos and goodbyes, making him miss the meaningful moments they used to share.
Imani had been overwhelmed with work, trying to catch up on assignments and projects that had piled up during her absence. She spent her breaks and lunches buried in books, determined to stay on track.
As the weekend approached, Jobe couldn't ignore the emptiness he felt without Imani around. He missed her laughter, their deep conversations, and the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about something she loved. He decided it was time to do something about it.
Jobe took out his phone, feeling a rush of excitement, and sent Imani a message.
IMESSAGES Imani 🦋
Hey, Mani! It's been too long. How about we take a break from studying and go shopping this weekend?
Imani 🦋 That sounds amazing J! I'm in!
okay I'll pick you up in an hour.
Imani 🦋 Perfect!
Jobe's heart soared with relief and excitement. This was a chance to reconnect with Imani and make up for the time they'd been apart. He had been harboring feelings for Imani that went beyond friendship, and he saw this weekend as the perfect opportunity to confess.
As he considered the words he wanted to share with Imani, he couldn't ignore the nervousness and vulnerability that came with confessing his feelings. But he was also sure that he couldn't hold back any longer. A future with Imani was worth the risk, and he was determined to open his heart to her this weekend.
A/N: do you reckon Jobes going to tell Imani how he feels??
