Love Alarm [Based On A True Story]

I'll Be Your Friend

The alarm blared. Not blared, but blares. And in time it only gets louder and louder. Which means Astrid is actually falling for me. The player of the school is falling for me.

Is that even possible? Do playboys fall in love with everyone they hook up with? I don't think so. It's just a passing infatuation for them. So how come Astrid be falling for me?

Does that mean, for the first time in his life, he's found love? In me?

The mere thought of that has shivers running down my spine, my heart rate picking up speed as I think back to the way my alarm rang after blaring, meaning the feelings are soon to be mutual.

But I love Zack. With all my heart and soul.

I do so... how? How can I be falling for another?

Do you really love him that much or you want to believe you love him that much? The voice inside my head has me questioning my reflection in the mirror as I stare back at my plain features, my lips parting in surprise.

What does that even mean?

Are you scared? That you might not have found your true love after all?

Maybe Astrid is the on-

"Stop." I whisper, shutting my eyes and gritting my teeth. No. I love Zack. I know I do so-

Yet your alarm rings for another. Isn't it obvious that not seeing Zack anymore means you've moved on?

I... moved on?

I did?

Isn't Zack my true love?

But I loved him so dearly...

Pulling the bathroom door open and walking back to my darkened room, I pull the covers of the bed over me and silently lie down, staring up at the ceiling while Alice sleeps soundly to my left side. Releasing a long sigh, I try to pull myself to sleep, but my raging thoughts won't let me be.

Astrid. Not long ago I couldn't stand the sight of him. Now, he's constantly on my mind. Every now and then it's him I think of, it's him I try not to think of, and it's him that always ends up invading my mind either way.

God. I must really be falling for him.

I didn't get a wink of sleep last night. Am I tired? Not really? Annoyed at every little thing? Yes. Definitely.

It's the last day before first term exams starts, and like every other day the three of us are busy gossiping about everything and anything, but no one reprimands us for we are not the only ones. The whole class is busy doing useless things since revision is over too.

It's computer science class, Mr. Arthur's class and this man doesn't give two dimes about what we are up to, which makes him all the more fun. Mr. Arthur can be a really fun man to be around. No wonder the students adore him.
