Life is the Long Game

Chapter 13

*6 months later~February*

Farkle's POV:

I am sat outside at school on a bench, looking say the snow that it melting away. Thinking, because, it has been 6 months since we came back to school, and it's been great, everything has been great apart from one thing. Enid Segrub. I see her almost everyday, whether it's across the cafeteria, passing in the hallways between lessons or when passing by her class or she passes mine. And we have not spoken a word, but we've made lots of eye contact, and when I look in her eyes, it's like a flash of all the good memories I have of us play right in front of me. But I am however, getting over her, all of a sudden. I think it is because I realised that the very badly different person she is now, is not the one I love, I love the old her, I don't love the current her, but she reminds me of the old her so I am still hooked, but she is turning out to be a totally different person to I though she'd ever be. And to make matters worse it is Valentines Day at the weekend. And of course I am single. Everyone is all lovey dovey, with dates and partners. There is even gonna be a couples only dance, so I've offered to babysit Amelie for Lucas and Riley, because let's face it, today in Thursday, Valentines and the dance is on Saturday, I'm not gonna get a date.
When I hear bell go, I am brought out of my thoughts. I look up and catch Enid staring at me, I roll my eyes, although I catch her staring a lot. I pick up my bag and head for class, Enid is right in front of me.
"Hey Farkle!" Riley smiles as she and Lucas catch up with me.
"Thanks again man for looking after Amelie." Lucas pats me on the back, pushing me forward slightly, trying to push me into Enid.
"No problem, it can become an annual thing if you want, I'm never gonna be with anyone on Valentines, look at me, Farkle, the nerdy loner!"
Enid turns around for a moment when I say this.
"Oh Farkle, that's not true!" Riley tells me.
"Yeah man, you'll find someone, and hey, we're only young, so what's the rush?" Lucas adds.
"Er, the fact that you two are engaged and have a child and that Maya is also getting married in October?"
"Farkle, that doesn't mean you have to be as quick as us." Lucas tried to tell me.
"Yeah it does, Freak!"
"Okay, we're at class now." He laughs.
"This is the only lesson that someone is alone for." Riley says. "She has art, all alone." She adds.

The rest of the day goes by a blur. When the final bell goes for the day, everyone hurries out of the building, I, however had to go see a teacher about some homework, so was a few minutes later. When I eventually get out of the school building, I spot Enid. I curse under my breath. She is all alone. I try to ignore the fact that she is there, and carry on walking, but I can't, I stop and look at her once again when I reach the edge of the pavement to cross the road and she is practically right beside me, she looks over at me this time as she steps out into the road she doesn't look, there is a truck coming.
"ENID!" I yell, running out to the road after her, she turns around and looks at the truck. The truck that is moving closer and closer. I push her out of the way of the truck. The rest is a blur into blackness...

Hey Guys! Sorry it's been a while! I've had a lot on this week! Hope you liked it! Enid above!😘
