The Park

Aphmau's P.O.V

It's 6:30, I have to meet Garroth at 7:00. I ran to the park and texted Garroth that I was at the fountain in the middle. He arrived ten minutes later. "S-so, w-why did y-you w-want to m-m-meet up?" I asked. "Well, I just wanted to talk to you a bit." Garroth mumbled. "Um, why do you always stutter around me?" Garroth questioned. "W-well, t-to me it's j-just kinda odd to h-hang out with s-someone who i-is p-popular. Since
I-I usually am alone." I answered, on the verge of tears. "Are you okay?" Garroth asked, looking concerned.
"Y-yeah, I-I'm fine." I mumbled, looking down. "No, you're not." Garroth said, lifting my head so that my eyes met his. He started to lean in when I interrupted, "Garroth, no. I can't. I-Ivy w-w-will..." "What will Ivy do?" Garroth asked. "I-Ivy... n-nothing.D-don't worry about it." I said, beginning to cry. "Aphmau, don't cry. Ivy wouldn't dare do ANYTHING to you while I'm here." Garroth said, hugging me.
"G-Garroth, you're not always right next to me. We are in different classes." I said, trying to escape his embrace. He never loosened his grip, I eventually gave up and hugged back, crying into his shirt. "S-sorry, I just had to get that out." I said, between sobs. "It's okay. Please, don't hide anything from me. What will Ivy do?" Garroth asked. "S-she said t-that
s-s-she w-will h-hurt m-m-me and
y-you the n-next time s-she sees us
t-together." I explained, still sobbing.

Garroth's P.O.V

"Is Ivy the reason that you were running in a panic at school?" I asked. "N-no. It was the Shadow Knights." Aphmau mumbled. "What did they do? Did you join them?" I inquired. "No. They wanted me to. When I declined they all turned into some evil form that I have NEVER seen. They pulled out their swords and ran at me. A werewolf came out of the forest and knocked two of them out, I knocked out the other one." Aphmau explained. "Do you know the werewolf?" I asked.
"I don't know who the werewolf was. I am sure that I met him before though, I just don't know where." she said, mumbling the last part. "It's late. I should get going." Aphmau said. I checked my phone and saw that it was 8:45 P.M. "Yeah, we should get going. Can I walk you home?" I asked. "U-um, sure..... I can go by myself, if you can't stay out for long." Aphmau said. "No, it's okay. Come on, it's getting late." I stated, and started walking towards Aphmau's house, holding her hand. While we were walking I asked her a question I don't think she wanted to answer,
"A-Aphmau... d-do you l-l-l-like m-me?" I asked. She stopped walking abruptly and turned around to face me, tears forming in her eyes. "I-I-I do..... b-but I a-also like someone else and I don't want to choose..." she said. SHE LIKES ME... and someone else. We were at her doorstep and I said, "When you find out who the werewolf was, please tell me. A-and A-Aphmau... please, choose me..." I started walking to my house, wondering who my competition is.

Who do you think the competition is? (it's really obvious but...)
