I SHIP IT!!! Chels gave me the idea. Don't kill me Iyah please.. -Jani
Aliyah's POV
All I wanted was to be loved.. This was the third guy I've confessed to this past two years. But same reply, "sorry. I'm not interested." I was slowly starting to get used to it by now. But it still breaks my heart a little each time. I dragged my feet away from where I stood and slowly walked outside. On the way I passed by my locker and grabbed my lunch. Sitting on a bench I stuffed the food in my mouth, not even knowing what it was and not caring. Why can't any guy like me? The only guy friends I actually have is Franz and Dave. And Dave isn't even that close. But Franz has been my friend since Grade 5. We've been friends for three years now. And he's matured. He grew taller, fitter and his voice is deeper. Like an average boy. Since Jani was on a trip I was left with Franz. Lidya and Edom both went to another school. We still hang out. But not as often as we used to. My hair fell in front of my face while I shoved unknown food into my mouth. A figure sat beside me, quietly. Turning my head ever so slightly, I looked to see who it was. His face appeared at my level and he smiled. "Rejected again, huh?" "Yeaah..." I sighed quietly. "It's okay," he ruffled my hair. "I'm not in the mood. I just wanted someone to love me.." I trailed off when I felt the warm, salty tears dripping down my face. I balled my fists on my legs and watched the tears fall. Soon, it was more than tears. Raindrops started to fall down. Franz sighed and lifted my chin so I faced him.
"Silly girl. You haven't noticed all this time?" "H- huh?" "I like you," he brushed the hair out of my face. "W- what?!" I exclaimed, now standing up. "I- is something wrong?!" "No.. No. No, no, no, no, no!" I screamed, shaking my head back and forth. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I mumbled and ran away leaving him awestruck. No. Not him. Not Franz. Why Franz?! My mind raced and a million thoughts ran to my head. I just.. I just need to calm down. Take a breather. Yeah, that sounds good. I walked into the music room and sat down. This was my happy place. I come here often. It's always quiet and peaceful. I just need to sit down, and try to forget all of this. I'm sorry Franz..
~~3 weeks later~~
Still Aliyah's POV
Everything feels normal. It's been a few weeks and Jani came back. I told her everything but she wasn't much help. After I finished explaining all she did was giggle and say, "I ship it!" And, "you didn't know?" As I walked down the now empty hallway, since everyone was already at lunch, I looked outside the window and saw Franz talking to Meg. It made me a little angry and I don't know why. I've never felt this way before.. Dropping my books on the floor, I ran outside the doors, leaving them flapping behind me. When Meg spotted me, her eyes widened a bit. Once I reached them, hugging Franz from behind, I whispered into his ear, "Your mine. Never forget that."
Franz's POV
My eyes widened in shock. Those words made me feel a tingle in my spine. The reason why I was talking to Meg was to ask her how I could impress Aliyah. But no need for that now. "I won't," I muttered, feeling her smile. I turned around and hugged her while Meg slowly backed away, smiling like a maniac. Looks like I got my girl after all.
I did it!! ~Jani
This is good -Franz
