Just a Friend...

A New Beginning

Hey guys I know I haven't updated in a while. I was busy with other stuff but here's the new update. I hope you like it. <3

I was absolutely tired and stressed when I got home. It was late evening, I went to the local running track where runners exercise and practice in the evenings after school. I sat there for about two hours, watching some popular runners from our school practice. George and Tim, the two twin runners were there too. Olivia and Michael, top two female runners were sitting in a bench far from the track. They looked engrossed in a big sheet of paper. I sat on another bench which was further away from the place. The sun was about to set and the sky had a golden and purple colour surrounding the entire track with a dark, shadowy environment. The name Sean Brooks was buzzing in my mind, my head was chanting his name in the same rythm again and again. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. The most popular guy on school, the bully suddenly turned into a hopeless romantic? But then, I really saw the softness in his eyes when he said he loves me.

He loves me.

Out of all these beautiful people in the world, he fell in love with me. 7 billion people in the world and he fell for me. Is it even a good thing? Should I be happy? This entire thing, this idea of us being together has never even crossed my mind until Alex's party. Damn, that party.

What should I do now? Alex is the one. He has always been the one. My first crush ever. He is special. He has to mean something to me. No, I can't let this happen. I love Alex. I absolutely love him. I can't let some ungrateful jerk ruin our bonding. Sean thinks he can have whatever he wants whenever he likes but no. I'll prove him wrong. I took out my phone and opened my gallery and started searching for the picture. After a few seconds, I found it. There it was, a picture of me and Alex taken about five years ago. We were younger back then and we were really good friends. Anger rushed into me when I realised Sean is the one who actually separated us. If he hadn't joined school a few years ago, by now Alex and I had been together. Nothing could have stopped us. I don't know if it was anger or what but I started crying. I buried my face in my palm and just sat there for a good fifteen minutes.

Just then, something big and heavy hit the back of my head.

"Ow! What the hell?!" I yelled.

"Shit I'm so sorry I didn't see you sitting there." said a very familiar voice.

Of course. Why not another round with the hottest douchebag on earth.

"Sean what are you doing?" I asked rather irritated.

"I come here to practice basketball. Helps me keep my mind sane."

"And what is driving you insane lately?" I asked, trying to hide the nervousness in my voice.

"You're seriously asking me that? I've been driving myself crazy thinking about you." He said.

I could see his feet from the corner of my eyes while he was standing near me. I could feel his gaze at the back of my head. I wanted to get up and leave but something kept me firmly to the ground. After sometime, I looked up to meet his gaze.

His green eyes. So mesmerising.

He just has to look perfect all the time without even trying. Why do I feel so weak when he's around?

"Sean this is crazy. We aren't even friends yet..." I stopped midway.

"Yet what Sam? Yet lovers?" He completed my sentence.

The thought of us being lovers was so out of the world yet so weirdly nice. I hated the thought but maybe I liked it. I was so confused.

"Sean I think you should re-consider. Us being together? It's so random."

"It is random but isn't love supposed to be unexpected? I can't stop thinking about you. The way I held you in the party, the way your feet was on top of min-"

"Alright alright. I'll need some time to think about it. I don't even know you properly apart from the fact that you've been bullying me since you entered school and now you're suddenly in love with me."

I instantly regretted what I said.

His face turned serious.

The sun had almost set and the street lamps were turned on. Dark clouds overshadowed the sky. I felt a small drop of rain falling on my shoulder. By then everyone had left the place.

"Okay." He said, picking up his ball and left the place, leaving me alone.

It started raining heavily. I could see him jogging away from me. I wanted to run after him and give him a hug but I didn't. I just sat there with one simple thought stuck in my mind.

I'm falling irresistibly in love with Sean Brooks, the stud.
