One In A Million

3: Feelings?

Blake's POV

I've made a lot of friends here in school and on my first day but there was one person I wanted to get close to or at least befriend and that was Charlotte Riley.

There was something about her that made me feel all giddy inside, could it be that I'm... In love? It can't be... But why is it that when we made I eye contact I felt a warm presence in my heart and when she looked away I felt like my heart was about to ache.

"Why does she make me feel this way?" I couldn't help but comtemplate on my feelings for her but that ended quickly when the alarm clock rang. "Time for school, I guess." I sighed as I got up and did my early morning routine. After that I walked to school,since it was close by, when I saw...

Charlotte's POV

I woke up early to do some advance study in the library. I didn't want read while walking to school anymore since I could bump into someone again. Ugh... I wish I could just forget about that...

I was on my way when someone suddenly called out to me, " Morning Charlotte." it was no other than Blake Parker "Yeah, Morning." silence then filled the atmosphere between us until I continue on walking. Ignoring him. I saw him frown for some reason but I didn't care, I never have and never will.

I wonder what he wants from me... He has other friends for that, right? I am no one. I am of no use to everyone around me. "Please leave me alone." I thought but I didn't want to say it.

Blake's POV

I wonder why she ignored me just like that. It hurt but I guess she isn't used to talking with other people. No one really notices her in school and she doesn't seem to have any friends. "Was she always this lonely?" Now that I think about it all she did in school was study, listen to the teacher, and ace all the tests.

An idea crossed my mind, "What if I became her friend?" then maybe she'd open up to the rest... or not... It's worth a shot, "Hey Charlotte. Can we be friends?"

Third person's POV

"Can we be friends?" those words made Charlotte stop at her tracks but she didn't face him. "I prefer to be alone." Charlotte stated bluntly and continued on walking leaving Blake stunned by what she stated.

Blake's POV

"I prefer to be alone." those words kept on echoing in my head. "Why would she prefer to be alone? Doesn't she feel, well, lonely?" I put those aside and continued to walk by her side. I was determined to befriend her and succeed.

"Why do you prefer being alone? Don't you want to have fun and enjoy your life with everyone?" I was curious to know why she'd want to be alone but she didn't reply after a long silence.

She seemed to be in deep thought but she eventually ignored my question. "She really doesn't want to talk..." I sighed.

Third person's POV

"I have no interest in having friends." Charlotte told him harshly. "I don't want to be alone. I want to have friends and enjoy life but I just can't." she thought and stayed quiet.

Blake, on the other hand, was shocked to hear those words come out of her mouth. He was at a loss of words and felt guilty for asking her something that seems personal to her.

The rest of the day was just the same as it is everyday but there was an awkward tension between Blake and Charlotte.

"I hope tomorrow will be different..." they thought.
