Heartbroken

Marylin's P.O.V

I went to the office, and asked if I could see the advisory teacher/worker. They let me and told me to wait.

5 minutes later, I was brought into their office and we started talking.

"Marylin, right?" I nodded. "I'm Ms. Jones. The head advisory teacher. Now why did you want to see me?"

"There's this weird feeling in my stomach. It's not hunger or guilt, but it happens often."

"Are you around anything, or anyone, that makes you feel this way?"

"Yes, my best friend. Anthony."

A grin slowly appeared on her face. "How long have you felt this feeling?"

"Since the day we met. Today's our 8 year anniversary together." I said with a happy and cheerful voice.

"I'm going to say this as easily as I can.
You're in love."

The air was thick, and silent. No one uttered a word. But was I really in love with him?

He gives me a weird, weakening problem in my stomach every time he's around me. More or less touches me. He's always been there for me, even if I don't want him around. Maybe I was in love with him.

"Your face just reddened."

I hid my face in my hands. Again. Ms. Jones laughed. "Young love. It's crazy, but powerful." The bell rang. "That's the bell. If there's anything else you want to talk about, please come to me anytime. Have a nice day!"

I rushed out. Thinking about what she said.

Was I really in love with Anthony?

•
It was 6 o'clock in the evening. Ant and I weren't celebrating our anniversary. We'd always go sneaking into our old school, and then we would replay the day we just met.

It always ends with a kiss on the cheek.

But today was different. He didn't want to do it. In fact, he didn't want anything to do with me.

I felt heartbroken.

At school, he ignored me for the rest of the day. I tried talking to him, but he would avoid contact.

Did I do something wrong? Was it about what happened at lunch?

I wondered what it would feel like if me did kiss me. Maybe I really was in love with him. I smiled at that thought.

I'm in love with Anthony.

But thinking about him ignoring me,made my heart hurt. Why is he doing this? I did the one thing I could do.

I called Alex.

Hello?

Alex?

Oh, hey Lin.

I let it slide. I was wondering, why is Ant ignoring me today? Was it about lunch?

I honestly don't know what to tell you. You guys didn't even celebrate your anniversary together. So I really don't know.
