IT'S JUST YOU AND ME

CHAPTER 7: A NEW START

I walked back to the old spot we were sitting and I saw Ruan sitting there. I was about to turn around but...I just couldn't...I liked him back but, how do I say it now after that? I just stood there for a while and looked at him while he was staring at the fire works. " Maybe it's better if I leave without him... " I thought as I walked.

AUTHOR'S POV :

As lex walked away, the lady saw her. " I hope she figures it out... " she chuckled and turned around to work.

LEX'S POV:

I went back home and sat down. Not knowing what to do...I have school tomorrow...Is it a good idea to tell him tomorrow? What if he's too hurt that he'll reject me?

After talking to Mark, I can't shake this knot in my stomach. Ruan was sitting there, and I just kept looking at him, feeling the weight of what I have to say. How do I even start? I care about him so much, and the last thing I want to do is hurt him.

I keep thinking about Mark's words. They echo in my mind, and I know I can't ignore this. But how can I tell Ruan without it turning into a mess? I can already picture his face, the confusion and hurt in his eyes. Or...will he be happy that I liked him too?

I wish I had the perfect words, something that could make this easier. But I'm just... stuck. What if I mess it up? I don't want to lose what we have. Maybe I need to give myself a little more time to figure out how to say it. I just hope I can find a way to be honest without breaking everything we've built.

I just know...that I wont be able to sleep at night...

~ The next day ~

I was walking towards my class with my head down. Nervous to see Ruan and Mark. I turned around the corner of the corrider and...

I saw him...There was an awkward silence between us and I quickly ran into the classroom...I didn't wanna make it more awkward...

I went inside the class and sat down and Ruan followed. I sat in my usual seat and started waiting for the teacher.
