AMARA cincinnati, ohio 10:46 am june 24th
amara sighed getting up from her bed. she was super tired from last night. tired was actually a understatement. amara felt drained.
after amara and oaklynn had their small conversation about the kiss amara shut down. she had a hard time coping with her feelings and after what was said she knew she needed to be alone.
amara had insisted oaklynn should go home so she could have more clothes for the next time she came over. she honestly wasn't even thinking she was just saying something to be alone.
amara would usually take her home but instead she had her mother to. once she knew they were gone she cried and cried and cried.
she snuggled with her comfort stuffed animal to give herself some comfort to stop crying and go to sleep.
at one point amara felt like she couldn't breathe the way she kept chocking on her tears. she never was very emotional but she in this state she couldn't help it.
it broke her big heart to hear the only chance she had with the girl she loved was gone. was a mistake. a mistake that would break amara's heart very time.
she knew she was to old to be acting like that but you act in mysterious ways when you love someone. amara washed her face and did her skincare slipping on a black graphic-tee and some grey loose shorts.
she slid up her black mid-calf length socks slipping on her crocs. she curled her lashes with her eye-lash curler quickly doing her mascara.
she applied vaseline to her lips grabbing her bookbag while spraying her peach perfume grabbing any extra essentials making her way down stairs.
she seen her mom was already gone. she exited the house locking the door behind her. she woke up just a slight bit later today because she didn't have to pick up oaklynn. she didn't wanna be anymore stressed than she already was.
she had a smooth ride to school blasting her current favorite song. once she got to school she seen her friend group and made her way over to them.
she made sure to let them know prior that she didn't feel the best today. "heard you weren't feeling good what's wrong mara?"
she turned seeing oaklynn. she wouldn't lie and say oaklynn didn't look good because she did. she sighed before checking her phone seeing it was about time to make it to her first period anyway.
"i gotta go to class oaklynn." she turned in the other direction and made her way to her class that they shared. she knew oaklynn was on her tail but she wouldn't give her the satisfaction of looking back.
"amara!" amara didn't answer she just kept walking until she was in the classroom. she sat in area that only had one open seat and immediately put her head down.
as said before she still felt drained smiling in everybody face was pointless. amara ended up taking a slight nap due to the fact she had her head down the whole time she began to get sleepy.
one thing you can say about crying is that you gone get the best sleep when your finished. as class ended she eventually woke up and waited for the bell to ring.
"amara?" she heard across from her. she looked over to her friend meka as she handed her a small slip of paper.
she opened the nicely folded paper reading it. 'why aren't you talking to me gorgeous?' she sighed.
she didn't want to be unreasonable but she was hurt. it wasn't something she could just fake. she was also stubborn so she folded the paper back up as she head the bell ring.
she got her stuff together and throwed the paper away on her way out. as she walked out the door she seen oaklynn waiting on her outside the door.
she didn't even engage instead she continue walking to her next class. oaklynn quickly caught up to her following right behind her.
"big head."
no answer.
"amara you hear me talking to you."
no answer again.
oaklynn walked in front of her getting ahold on her arm pulling her into a empty hallway. "we aren't going to class until you tell me what's wrong."
amara turned her head the other way as oaklynn backed her into the corner. amara knew she couldn't be mad at her forever so she decided to give in.
"you said that kiss was a mistake yesterday but the day of the party you said you didn't regret it. was it the liquor talking? because that kiss meant alot to me. i've had feelings for you ever since i met you but i didn't want to make you uncomfortable and lose a friendship.
now it's like the feelings are only getting stronger and your playing with my feelings. i don't like that oaklynn. so just be honest with me here was it a mistake? do you not see me in that way?"
amara just said a mouthful. she gave oaklynn i minute to get her words together.
"i- i'm sorry i hurt you amara and even made you feel like i'm playing with your feelings. it's just i was scared because i didn't know you felt that way about me. like you said i didn't want to mess up our friendship. the kiss wasn't a mistake it's was just a stupid thing i said.
i didn't know what to say when we were talking about the kiss because it was like you weren't giving to much emotion on it. and i promise you amara i see you in that way. and if your willing i want to give us a try."
the two only had 5 minutes to get to class before they were late but i think this conversation lasted longer than 5 minutes.
even though they were late to class they needed this talk. amara felt like weights lifted off her shoulder. finally explaining her feelings that's been bottled up for years.
"it's okay i forgive you pretty. i'm also sorry i made it seem like i didn't care but i would love to give us a try."
"can i get my daily hug?" amara smiled and hugged her best friend. "we're talking right?"
"right." the two both had big smiles on their faces as they walked to class.
