Claire's POV
I groaned in frustration as I change into my sleep wear from my causal ones. Liam is so stupid, no doubt.
I am afraid he might reject me, that's it! You'd actually get the answer yourself in the matter of 1 second or two! The problem is, he doesn't love me! Yep, I'm bad luck with my first love.
It hurts, believe me...
I sighed for another time and went to sleep as I feel tears well up in my glistening teary-eyed eyes.

Liam's POV
So much for saying 'I love you' to Claire in my dream. Why can't she make her words clear? Why?!
She said and I quote, "I'm afraid that I might reject her."
What does that mean?!
12:10. I should be asleep by now. But Claire's statement keeps on running around my head, like my head will explode already!
I've been thinking about it an- BAM! I have to call Ken, like right now.
ring...
ring...
ring...
"Dude, it's like...12:15 already! What's with you?" Ken snapped.
I groaned. "Claire's in love with someone."
"Who?" he asked in a sleepy voice.
"Starts with letter 'L', she said," I answered.
"L! Who? You? Leander? Lans? Lester?" he asked in excited yet still sleepy tone.
"She didn't answer. She just said that I'm stupid," I muttered.
No response. "Hello? Ken, you still there."
No response.
...
...
"Oh! Of course! You really are stupid!" he spat out.
I rolled my eyes and ignored his questions before saying, "She also told me she's afraid I might reject her."
Then, no response.
What's with him?!
"Dude. That means..." he trailed off.
I cocked an eyebrow. "What?"
"Dude! You are the dumbest person in the world! Will you at least analyze what Claire said!" he yelled in frustration which makes me wonder.
Then, hung up! What a good friend I have....
I kept repeating what Claire said on my mind, again and again.
I'm afraid you might reject me
I'm afraid you might reject me
I'm afraid you might reject me.
She's afraid of MY rejection. But why?
Then it clicked,
She likes me and I love her.
We have feelings for each other.
Oh, God.

Claire's POV
This should be easy. I'll just ignore Liam. Done. I did just that.
