Leo is very busy right now. We didn't get to spend time lately. He is managing his part time job as cashier, his studies and looking out for various colleges. He is also planning ways to tell everyone about us. Well Levi, my family, Mrs.Jones mainly. Our family had known eachother for so long it would be a little weird when we I'll come out with our relationship. We had known eachother since we were very little. I don't know how everyone will react to our relationship, I am nervous and excited too. I am so overwhelmed thinking about it.
I had planned to surprise Leo today during his shift in the dinner. He is taking care of lot of things on his own and I want to be there for him, to show him my support. I know there isn't much that I can do regarding his college selection procedure or his studies or his games. But I can atleast help him with a plan to discuss our relationship with everyone. I can also be there with him to talk. Sometimes we don't need someone to help we just need just someone who could listen to our problems and elevate our mood. Leo is not big on sharing his troubles. He just never complains. I am the one who always complains about everything from my sports shoes, or my badminton outfits or my phone hanging. He just never complains even though he has a lot of troubles in his life. But I know spending time with me makes him feel good. He told me that spending time with me makes him happy. So I have planned to surprise him and give him his happy time.
After spending my day in my home studying. I baked some cookies for Leo in the evening. I leave around his time He deserve a little dessert for being the most amazing boyfriend ever. He always listen to me, he always motivates me and always handle my tantrums like a gentleman. I love him so much. He is it for me. I know I am too young now, but I know how I feel about Leo. I couldn't feel it for anyone. He completes me.

As I am walking closer to dinner, I am getting excited to see him. I haven't seen him for last three days. I know it's not that much but for me it is. I am used to seeing him daily. Lately we are just texting each other and that is not much more than a good morning and a good night.
When I reached the dinner. I saw Josh at the counter. I greeted him "hey Josh". "Hi Mia" he said. I went straight to the point "where is Leo?" "Leo just left, he is a little bit busy lately so he leave early you know". I frowned. My face doesn't make any effort to hide my disappointment "oh okay" I said and left without any more words.
I reached my home. I couldn't go to his home at this time. It would de really inappropriate for Mrs.Jones. Though I texted him that I came to surprise him in the dinner but he wasn't there. He replied he left early. I was upset. But I decided to give it some time.
Next day at bus. When I went up I sat in front of Amanda not with her. I decided that we need to talk, this silence is ruining our relationship. So I didn't sit with Amanda and left the seat empty for him. "Amanda I need to talk to Leo. Is it okay that I sit with him today?" I asked her. "Are you crazy, it's totally fine girl." I smiled at her and he smiled back at me. We actually never really sit together in bus. Leo always sit with his friends at the back and I with Amanda. It doesn't really matter. But today I need to talk to him so I decided I will sit with him.
Bus stopped at the stop where Leo and Levi comes. Levi climbed up in bus. He waved me a hello with his dimples and smile. I waved him back with a smile of my own. I converted my smile to a grin to greet Leo. I looked at him with anticipation. But his face was burried in his book, he didn't even look at me andwalk straight to the back. My grin vanished into a frown. I was hurt so hurt. I could cry any moment. But I blinked several times to hide my emotions. I can't just breakdown in front of everyone. I don't want anyone look at me with pitty. I don't want anyone to even look at me. I hate the attention of people it makes me uncomfortable, it makes my heart race and my skin feel feel weird. Amanda must have sensed my silent breakdown. She pats my shoulder. But I didn't turn around to look at her. So she came and sat with me. "Hey are you okay'' I swallowed my emotions and replied "yeah" I tried to smile but I couldn't. All my energy is going to hold my tears. Thank God Amanda didn't tried to continue the conversation to distract my mind, because if she would have continued talking I didn't know how long I could be able to hold my emotions.
When bus reached the school I was okay. Well better than being in verge of breakdown. I was still upset about how Leo ignored me. I just try to forget my pain and disappointment and tried to focus at my class. By the time I was done by my two periods I was calmer. I was still upset but I wasn't mad at Leo anymore. It could be possible he didn't look at me because he was so busy studying for his tests. He had been juggling a lot of things together. It is okay if he didn't get time for me. I mean it is final year in school so the burden must be huge. I decided to talk to him during the practice period.
I got ready early for my badminton practice. I tried to catch him before his warmup session. I waited for him outside the football field. When the football team came Leo and Levi came too. Levi smiled at me "Hey Mia" I smiled at him. Leo looked at me too but he didn't smiled. I smiled at them both and said hi. "Leo I wanted to talk to you" I said. Levi got the hint and started jogging towards the field. Leo looked at me "what is it?" He asked. "I.... I came to meet you at the dinner but you weren't there." "Yeah I told you I left early I had to study for my test." I suddenly felt nervous about how to talk. I mean I was thinking about talking to him all this time but when the moment came I don't know what to say. I took a deep breath, I decided to speak what I feel to him as it is without having any filter. Because I know I can be myself with him. "Leo what is happening to us.." "Come over here Jones" someone shouts. When I turn around I see Mr. Smith calling for Leo. Leo looked at him and shout back "I am coming sir" He looked at me and said "we will talk later" and left. I sighed. I didn't get to talk to him again. But it's not his fault. It's not anyone's fault actually. I left for my practice too. He said we will talk later then we will talk later.
In the evening I went to Leo's home to meet him. I went early to meet him before his shift. When I got there I said I want to talk to him. He did listen to me. "Leo what is happening to us. We are growing apart and I don't like it." I said getting straight to the point. "What" he said surprised. "Is that what you wanted to talk about all along." "Yes... No, I mean that and I really want to help you with talking about us to Lev. I want to help you make a plan." I said. He is looking at me his face is hard,"seriously" he said, he looked irritated. He closed his eyes for a few moments.When he opened his eyes, he clenched his jaw several times. He took a sharp breath and exhaled "There is a lot going on now. I didn't think about it." He said. "Well that's okay we can think about it together" I said hopeful. He turned his face he is now looking at the wall but not me. Then he said without looking at me "okay" "Leo" I said holding his face in my hands turning it to face me "I am here for you always no matter what, you know that. Right. I love you." He nodded at me and plant a kiss on my forehead. Then he pulled back a little and whispered against my forehead "I have to go now." I nodded. Then he left.
