Sophomore year

Chapter eight (8)

She went home at about 6 o-clock. We didn't talk about what happened yesterday, but it wasn't awkward at all... well from what I can tell it wasnt. It was about 7:30 now and I was really tired...but I could help but think...I tend to over think a lot so I try to stop myself some times but I couldn't this time...
I wonder if she feels the same way?
I wonder if she's just messing with me?
What if she's just my imagination... is she just fake?
No...no she can't be because Rebecca could see her too...
Ones she's messing with me and just saying all these things to make me think badly...
What if this is all a figment of my imagination everything... everything around me...
No no not possible...it's all real...

I fell asleep on the thought that life has been going great and it's going to turn around any time now.

*3 months later*

Grace and I have been spending time together a lot lately but we are going out...it's weird...it's think I'll ask her to date me when her and I are hanging out later...
"Heeeeey girly werly" Haru said giving me a hug and walking beside me
"Hello" I replied
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing, I'm great!"
"I saw you and grace are hanging out a lot lately, are you two you know...he Hu he...?"
"What?"I said laughing a little at how she didn't want to say it
"Are yall going out or not yet? You never tell me anything anymore"
"No we aren't but I'm going to ask her out later today."
"Oh my lord Aiko I'm so proud of you!!!"
"Haha thanks I guess"
"Good luck!" She wished me as she walked away

*Later that day*

"Hey grace...I would like to tell you something..."
"Yeah i need to tell you something too..."
"Together?"
"Yeah together"
"Three
Two
One" we said together
"I wanna be more then friends"
"I really like Andrew"
"Wait, what?" We said in synch
"You like andrew..." i said sadly
"Yeah...I didn't know you still liked me like that I'm sorry..."
"But...why?"
"Because he's ...oh my god!!"
"Okay..."i said turning to walk away
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Home...I'm going home"
"Why?"
"I don't want to be here anymore"
"Okay...bye, see you at school..."
"See you at school"

The walk home was long and painful I couldn't help but cry, the one person I love more then anyone doesn't love me back... lucky me someone drove by and gave me something...a rotten egg... someone through a rotten egg at me, they also screamed something that I didn't appreciate any more...
"Go die in a hole you freak of nature"
I went a little off the path to go into the woods where I would be left alone...
I cried my eyes out...I didn't wanna be here...I reached into my bag and found something I had just in case. Hello my little friend... I said pulling out a bag and some paper, specifically made for this stuff...

*two hours later*

I walked up the door step, I memorized the story I was going to say if I smelled like anything.
"Hey people I'm home " i said...no answer, Miss.B is probably at work and Andrew is probably at his friend jake's house. Wonderful I have the house to myself, I began running a bath. I looked at my phone, 45 new messages, I began looking through them.
Mostly all of them are from grace, but one was from Miss.B, I clicked on that one first.
I'll be home a little late today there is left overs in the fridge and other things in the cabinet. Stay safe!!
I love Miss.B she's so nice she's like my mom...man...that's hard to think about...I miss my mom she's been gone for a while now... I don't even remember when she died anymore...
I supose that's not bad though...
The bathtub was full now and I slowly got in, I haven't had a day to myself in a while...it was nice.
About 35 minutes later I got out, I grabbed my phone and crossed the hall to my room. I looked around...
There are pictures of grace and I everywhere...
I got dressed and started cleaning...looking at them just reminded me about how much I love her.
I walked around my room and took every photo I had of her or her and I together and put then in a box, I put that box on top of my book shelf.
I went to my bed and sat down. Then...

*knock knock knock*

"Who's their?"
"Its Andy."
"Come in."
"Wow...your room looks...bare...what happened to all your pictures?"
"Its took them down."
"Why what happened lil sis?" He considers me his sister
"Well...grace and I had a talk and... well... I think her and I should stop being friends."
"Oh why would you think that?"
"Well...you know how I like girls?"
"Oh no..." he said sadly..."she doesn't like you back does she?"I just shook my head. He gave me a hug and I huged back. Even if grace liked him over me he's still my brother and I still love him like one.
"You'll be okay!"
"Okay."
"Promise me you'll be okay."
"You know I can't do that..."
"Promise anyway."
" Okay fine...I promise"
"Thank you."
"Yeah yeah..."
"I love you sis."
"I love you too."
