To All the Guys i've liked

Tristan and Maria

Maria's POV

We just resumed a week ago and you already want to sneak out, Harley said to Gina. Well, i really need to attend this party. Gina Said. I really don't think that's a good idea and to be honest i can't cover up for you. Harley said. F**k you bitch. Gina said and left. that was a good call, you shouldn't help someone like Gina, you could get into trouble. Keisha said. I know. Harley said. I should head to my room now, I'm feeling really sleepy. Harley said. Good night. Harley and i chorused. Goodnight ladies. She said and left.

I won't, i have heard you guys pick on us for no reason but i tell you Mr whatever your name is, i won't let you pick on me. I said. What did you just say. The guy said. I walked out on him. I said, telling Keisha what happened in the cafeteria earlier. I wish i was there to see that. But I'm still wondering the guy you are talking about. He's Short about 5'6 inch or 4'5 inch, i don't know, he has a chestnut brown hair, pointed nose, full oval lips. I described. Have you seen him before today? She asked.i don't think so, you know i don't really pay much attention to those bloody junior. I said. Does he have a scar on his brows, like a really small one? She asked. Yes... I think so. I said. Really? That's Tristan. She said. I don't care about his name. I said. But Tristan isn't like the rest of them unless he's angry. She said. Angry or not, he doesn't have the right to call me a pest and pick on me like that because I'm selective of food. I said. He might just be teasing you, i know Tristan, he is everything but a bully. Keisha said. Whatever, i hope our part never meets again because I'll... In this school? Trust me you'll cross paths more from now. She said. And why is that? I asked. Well, Fate has brought you together. She said. I have told you to stop reading romance novels, see what it's done to you. You are hopeless. I said and turned to my desk to continue my assignment.

Hey Miss grumpy. Tristan said. What do you want? I asked. Still grumpy ehn... He teased. I rolled my eyes. I'm sorry about earlier, i didn't mean to be rude or anything. He said. Ohh... He apologises.. I'm not going to accept your apology just like that. I said. So how do i plead not guilty and appease your royal Highness ? He asked. Well, I'll accept a journal telling me how deeply sorry you are. I said. A journal??? You are hilarious. He said laughing hard. Do i sound funny to  you ? I asked faking anger? Ohh.. Even anger doesn't fit you. He said. And what is that suppose to mean? Mr rude. I said folding my hands. You are pretty when you smile, so you should smile more often. He said. Are you flirting with me ? Or is that a mere compliment? I asked. However you like it. He said. Whatever... I said. I haven't introduced myself,  i am Tristan. He said. I am Maria. I said. I think Ria looks good on you. Miss Ria, i know we started off on the wrong foot and you probably think I'm a jerk, I'm sorry about that, can we start over and be friends? He asked. Mr Tristan, seeing you've reflected on your mistake and your sincere apology which i have now accepted, Yes we can be friends. I said faking tears. I know you were touched, how this handsome, tall, broad guy apologizing sincerely from his heart. He said. I take that back, we can't be friends, i said faking anger. Ohh..too late coz we already are. In Fact we've signed an agreement,  whoever goes breeches the agreement would be sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour and no food. He said jokingly. I didn't sign no agreement with. I didn't hear that, i have to run, i have a class now, see you later, Friend. He said. We are not friends. I'm sorry, can't hear you. He said running.  Isn't that Tristan? Keisha said out of nowhere. Yeah. I said. Few minutes ago, you were swearing you hate him and don't want to ever cross paths with him so why were you talking to him? Well, if you must know, he came to apologize and now we are friends. Hmmn... Interesting... She said. Keisha, what is on your mind, you have been humming for 10 minutes now. I said. There's a thin line between love and hate. She said. What's that? I asked. Haven't you read the book " there is a thin line between love and hate"? She asked. Yes, i have and what about it?. Nothing, i'm just in love with that book, i should read it again. She said. Ok was all i said. Anyways, I'm going to the library to lend some books for my group project. I said. Alright. See you later. She said. Hey!!! Louis a classmate of mine and one of my group partners greeted me. Hii, i said back. You are heading to the library, let's go together. He said. Ok. I said. So what do you think we should do for our project? He asked. Well, i haven't thought of anything yet but i think we have to set a meeting where everyone gives suggestion, we deliberate on everything, arrive at a conclusion and work on it. I said. That's brilliant,  I'll gather everyone by 3pm today if that is ok by you. He said. Yeah, 3 sounds perfect. I said. 

   *Two years later*

I can't believe you've had a crush on this girl for three years and you haven't sais shit. Keisha said. I don't have a crush on him. I said. Lying through your teeth. She said. Well, i heard he is going out with Kim in his class. Harley said. He isn't going out with Kimberley yet, he hasn't even told her his feelings. I said. Do you even know how you sound. "He isn't going out with Kimberley yet, he hasn't even told her his feelings". She mimicked me. You sound pathetic. Keisha said. Wait, so you guys talk about everything even down to who you like and you haven't told him. Harley added. Yes, we are close friends. I said. Close friends my foot. I feel like, i know he knows you like him and is intentionally stomping on your feelings. Keisha said. Keish... that's a mean thing to say. Tristan isn't like that. I defended him. But you like him? She asked. I don't. he is like a big brother to me. I said. Big brother my foot, is he your mum's child or Dad's? Admit it you dummy, if you can't even admit it to us here, will you ever tell him? She asked. I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap. I said and laid on my bed. Yeah,  i like tristan a lot but i can't tell him, the fact that he hasn't told me he likes me, means he doesn't so if i tell him and I'm right, I'm gonna ruin our friendship so I'm going to keep it a d hope he dies. Within this three years, i have seen and watched him date different girls and every time he breaks up with them, i feel happy till he gets another one and do the same thing. 
Hey so you are going to law school? I asked. Yes, i want to be a famous,  sexy lawyer. He said. Yeah, i think you would make a fine lawyer. What about you ? Ever thought of what you want to be? He asked. No, honestly, i don't know what i want to be. I don't have a passion for anything like you have a passion for law. i said. I'm sure you will find one. He said. I'm really going to miss you when you leave. I said. I'm going to miss you more.he said. Do you think i should ask Kim out during Prom? He asked. Yeah, maybe. I said. Ria, you are the best, he said hugging me tightly.

Letter to Tristan
                                Hi Stan,
I know you are wondering and probably surprised. I liked you for three years but part of me knew we wouldn't be more than friends so i didn't own up or tell you but now i still don't have the courage to. Unrequited love is the most painful kind of love, seeing someone you love dating another person, asking for tips to court another person, seeing them heart broken by someone that isn't you. That's hurt more. Do you know something i learnt from you? I learnt friendship is a beautiful thing and part of me is glad i didn't tell you how i felt because even if you felt the same way and we dated, break up, we won't be friends again and even if we try to, it won't work again, I'm grateful for all the talks, advice, I'm happy that we were and are good friends and you are one of the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me and even though we don't talk as much as we do before, I'm super grateful i met you and even though we started on the wrong foot, we became close and i kinda think that was what made us get each other very well. As i pen down this letter, i Love you and I'm rooting for you always.
      
                                          Yours sincerely
                                                   Maria
