*Winnie's POV*
After hearing what Jeff told me about Ben and Riley I decided to give on my feelings for Ben. It wasn't because I felt the need to but because I felt awful that I had wanted Ben to return these feelings that I have for him when he clearly doesn't love anyone else but Riley. Thank god Jeff told me or else I wouldn't have been able to come to this conclusion. I just think maybe it'd be fine if I put some space between me and Ben.
Anyways isn't Ben getting tired of protecting me and being around me. I'm pretty sure I became a bother to him.
I sat there just thinking as I doodled in my sketch book during free period. I guess I must have zoned out because Jessie hit me with a book knocking some sense into me.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Jessie said as she threw a pencil at me,"Hoe! I said don't ignore me"
"Sorry" I mumbled while picking up my pencil and started sketching again.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jessie asked sounding concerned,"I swear to god if someone did something bad to you again I will cut them!"
"No. Im fine" I mumbled while trying to finish the drawing of a forget-me-not.
"No, no you're not." Jessie said firmly.
".....What do you do when you like someone but they love someone else and you don't want to ruin your friendship."
"Ok, this is coming from personal experience. But if you only like them don't bother with it because in the end you will only end up messing everything up. But you love them go for it and don't hold back."
"..." I stayed quiet for a while thinking that maybe my feelings were irrelevant and not strong enough. I should try to not act on them till I know that they are for certain,"Thanks Jessie, I think I understand now"
"No prob, now if you'll excuse me I have to go to talk to a hoe about minding her own business." Jessie said as she collected her things.
"What happened?" I asked I asked looking up at Jessie.
"Someone little bitch is trying to start drama with me and I am just praying to Jesus that I don't end up getting in another fight, I don't need another suspension." Jessie said as she began walking out the library.
Soon after she left I had received a text, it was from her
Jessie~
But if I do get caught pls bail me out
Winnie~
Fine i'll just I was with you the whole time
I sighed as the bell rang signaling the next class.
......
I had decided to skip my last block and stay in the library. The librarian didn't mind me as long as I was quiet and helper her. While I sat there on one of the bean bags sketching when my phone went off. I picked it up expecting it to be Jessie asking me to bail her out but instead it was the last person I wanted to talk to at that moment. I debated in my head whether I should answer or not. I decided I should I mean its better having him as a friend then not at all.
I opened the text but suddenly my phones screen went black and made a weird buzzing noise. Then Ben came out of it.
"Hey" He said.
"Hi..." I answered back.
"So care to tell me why you've been ignoring me" he said as he sat down next to me.
"I haven't, you've just been busy." I responded completely lying through my teeth.
"Ok, so can we hang out right now?" He asked.
"Sure" I responded not completely sure myself,"But aren't you going to stick out, this is a school after all and you are dressed like Link."
"Oh yeah! K, Hold on be right back." He said as he jumped back into my phone.
About 5 minutes later he popped out of phone again wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with a green hoodie over it, white and black Adidas, and a gray beanie covering his dirty blonde hair, his eyes were still red though even though they were no longer black in the outer part but white like a normal persons would be.
He noticed me staring and smirked, "Take a picture it last longer"
I was blushing furiously as I looked away, "Shut Up"
