It was finally the weekend and she couldn't wait to go home and lie down in her bed and not do anything. She hadn't seen him all day, and it felt really weird almost as if something was out of place. She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing that day. Her mind somehow was always distracted by thoughts of him, and she had no way of stopping it from roaming freely. She felt like he was avoiding her.
He hadn't seen her today, he felt like she was avoiding him. He had been free the entire day and had only had two lessons that day. He had spent the majority of his day messing around with his friends on the soccer field. He had spent his entire day without her and it had felt weird, almost impossible. But then he saw her, he saw Em with her head held high and a small smile on her face as looked around at the people that surrounded her. She looked completely different than Kit did when she walked he thought to himself before sending Em a small smile. Which she returned with an even bigger smile than before.
She was walking over to the parking lot to get her bike when she passed by the field and suddenly stopped in her tracks. He was there, on the field looking as gorgeous as always, except she was standing next to him, tossing her hair and sending him innocent smiles. It wasn't fair that Em could look so flawless whilst flirting with him. When she looked like she was going to die of lack of air and he would just laugh at her for all of the wrong reasons. Em somehow managed to trap him in her web and she had to make sure that could still get him out while he still had time.
He couldn't believe that Em was laughing and flirting along with him. It was like she was telling him a sign or something and he was so happy. So he decided to finally make the move on her and ask her.
'Hey, umm would you like to hang together sometime? You don't have to if you don't want..' he stammered out diverting his attention and gaze to the ground staring intensely at the grass flecks underneath his shifting feet.
'Haha, you're adorable you know that? And yeah I think that would be nice... Who else would be there?'
She could see the two of them laughing and talking together like the bloody perfect couple that they were. Envy was bubbling up inside her, she knew that she wasn't supposed to feel so jealous, but she knew she had a right to feel this way. Any girl, no any one, would feel the same if you had to stand on the sidelines and watch the person that you gave your heart to unknowingly cozy it up with another person that wasn't them.
