Then Came You (Wattys2015)

Chapter 5

I was awoken by the chirping of the little sparrows. I had had a good sleep after a long while. I went near the window to take a look at the beautiful scenery outside. It was a beautiful day. I had never really been fond of nature but today I felt fresh. I felt good. The new definition of beauty had been etched in my mind. Everything felt different. Better than ever. I took a deep breath to take in the essence of this beautiful feeling. Yes, I had developed some feelings for Aaron. I didn't know how did it happen, I didn't know whether I really loved him or not, but I felt happy. In the past few days, Aaron and I had shared our deep secrets with each other and I felt so relieved. I wonder what must be Aaron thinking now? He must have realized that I like him. But I will never reveal my feelings to him before he does. Never ever. Even if that costs the possibility of me and him becoming 'US'.......

I entered the school to find Niall waiting for me there. Giving me a hug, he wished me good morning.

"You look happy. Anything special?" He asked.

"Nothing much. What made you think so?"

"Babes, you were all smiles when you entered the school."

"So what? Can't I smile?"

"Well of course you can but you must have a reason to smile or else I'll have to consider that you're suffering from hysteria."

"Shut up Niall."

"No seriously buddy. Tell me if there is something. You know what I mean?"

"Nope. I don't?"

"Fine. Let me spill it. Let me take a deep breath. I know you have a bad temper. So I need to be careful. So............"

"So?"

"So......Like....."

"Niall spill it okay?"

"So AdeliaisittruethatyoulikeAaronSmith?"

"What?!"

"Do you like Aaron Smith?"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???"

"Lii don't avoid it. We all can feel it." said Maddy as she placed her hand on my back.

"Come on Adelia. Aren't we your best friends?"

All of a sudden I felt a knot inside my gut.

What should I do? Should I tell them? But what's the use of telling them?

As if on a cue, Maddy said "See I don't know how we can help you. But you can share with us you know."

"Okay. Can we go to the canteen first? I don't think it is a good idea to talk about my crush here."

"OMG did she admit that?" Niall exclaimed loud enough for the people around us to become startled.

"Shut up Niall!" Maddy and I blurted out together.

"Okay okay. Let us head towards the canteen."

We decided to bunk the class and discuss about Aaron in the canteen. At first, I wasn't sure whether I should tell them or not but everything came out very smoothly.They were really happy about it and they assured me that Aaron liked me back too. Although I was not totally convinced, I felt relieved. Now my best friends knew about my secret.

"So when are you going to tell him?" Niall asked.

"Maybe never."

"What do you mean Adelia?! Don't tell me you are not planning to confess this ever!"
