My Special Spirit

IV

*Jayce's POV*

I couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Myrtle. I was terrified that I might lose her as a friend. I am in class right now, sitting next to her. She has been ignoring me all day. "Myrtle, please tell me what's going on!" I say trying to break the silence. "I can't believe you still haven't noticed how I feel about you!" She say's, making me wonder twice as much. "What do you mean? I don't understand what you are trying to say?" I hope she tells me. "I have had a crush on you since day one. You have been the reason of this smile. You are the one I want to be with!" She says, looking down. "Don't lie Myrtle. You have a boyfriend. I don't know how unhappy you must be with your boyfriend, so you could be saying all these lies. I know that we are very close, but lets be honest, me and you are only good friends. You are mistaking this." I say, trying to make a point. "I am not lying, Jayce. I love you. I need you more than anyone in this world and I cannot be without you. Please understand my awkwardness and me not being the same." She says, looking deep into my eyes.

She gets close. She touches my cheek. What the HELL IS SHE DOING? She closes her eyes and gets close to my lips. Our lips were just one inch away. I could feel her breathing. I move, dodging her kiss. "Sorry Myrtle. I don't feel that way for you." I say, standing up ready to walk away. She looks at me while I walk away. I ask my teacher if I could go to the band hall and he says 'yes'. Thank god he said yes. I don't want to be here. She's making things awkward. I know she's lying. I know her. I will just go so I can take my mind off things.

*Janessa's POV"

I had missed school for a week already. I needed to get back on my feet. I was in my third block class. Bored. My teacher was always on her phone, so we did nothing in class. Psychology was really easy though. As a sophomore I was pretty happy not to do anything.

I was bored. I was willing to go to the band hall and practice. My best friends were there, Zavvy and Paul. We were 'hella loud when we were together. Never did we shut up. We would constantly get in trouble with our band director, because we would always interrupt him and distract the people around us. They were my support system and no matter how many fights we had we would always come back to each other.

As me and the girls were talking I heard the band hall door open. I turned to see who it was. I was suddenly blown away by how beautiful this boy was. It was that boy from last time, the one who held me in his arms. I was so mesmerized by his beauty. I excused myself from my friends to go talk to him. He looked upset though. I will just go. Maybe I can help him out, return the favor for him being there for me.

As I went up to him his eyes brighten up and his smile was just perfect, wow. "Hi, sorry I didn't introduce myself last time. My name is Janessa!" I say, hoping he tells me his. "What a beautiful name! My name is Jayce." He says, making me blush as red as a tomato. "Sorry for last time. You probably had mascara all over your shirt. I wasn't in the best conditions to introduce myself correctly, but that's what I am doing now." I was so shy to talk to him. God what's going on with me. "Oh it's alright. I understand. I hope you feel better. I wanted to ask your friends how you were, but I was really shy to ask. I didn't want to sound creepy. If you ever need me you know where to find me. Maybe we could go..." He says being interrupted by my friends. "Sorry I have to go. My friends are waiting for me. Thank you once again. Hopefully we can continue this conversation tomorrow." I say, walking away. I felt so bad. I didn't even ask if he was okay. I was so bad at this. I get so shy and now look. I need to make it up to him.
