It had been a few weeks since Amahira started avoiding Juju, and the weight of her unspoken feelings grew heavier with each passing day. She found herself drawn to Juju in ways that went beyond friendship, but uncertainty gnawed at her. Despite Juju's consistent texts, reaching out daily with messages that ranged from casual check-ins to inside jokes, their in-person interactions at summer practices became increasingly strained.
Whenever their eyes met across the gym, Amahira's heart would quicken, and she would hurriedly find an excuse to leave. It wasn't that she didn't want to be around Juju—quite the opposite. She cherished those moments but feared they might reveal too much, risking their comfortable friendship.
Juju, on the other hand, couldn't make sense of Amahira's sudden distance. They had been reconnecting well, sharing laughs and memories like old times. Yet now, Amahira seemed to evade her, leaving Juju to question herself over what she might have unknowingly said or done wrong. The confusion and worry gnawed at Juju's mind, creating a tension between them that neither knew how to address.
Amahira would often find herself replaying their conversations and stolen glances, searching for clues in Juju's words and expressions. Did Juju feel the same pull she did? Was there a chance for something more between them, or was she reading too much into their interactions?
The uncertainty weighed on Amahira, coloring her days with a mix of longing and apprehension. She knew she needed to talk to Juju, to clear the air and confront her feelings, but the fear of rejection held her back. What if Juju didn't feel the same way? Could their friendship survive the awkwardness that might follow?
Meanwhile, Juju's frustration grew alongside her concern. She missed their easy camaraderie, the way they could talk for hours or simply enjoy each other's company in comfortable silence. The abrupt change in Amahira's behavior left Juju feeling adrift, questioning whether she had unknowingly crossed a line or if there was something deeper that she wasn't seeing.
As the days passed, tension mounted between them like a silent storm waiting to break. Amahira found herself retreating into solitude more often, seeking solace in late-night essays and quiet moments alone. Each unanswered text from Juju weighed on her, a reminder of the growing distance between them.
In her heart, Amahira knew she couldn't keep avoiding the inevitable conversation. She owed it to herself and to Juju to be honest about her feelings, whatever the outcome might be. But summoning the courage to confront those feelings head-on was a daunting task—one that would require more than just words, but a willingness to face the unknown and accept whatever came next.
