Steve's POV
I was lounging around in my hall. I called Darce over. We have our finals in 3 months and am super stressed. I need her to study with me. Me and Darce are science enthusiast and we both want to be Doc! So we study together most of the time.

*knock knock*

S: Come in Darce!

D: hey!
She sounded low.

S: Hey? What hey do you know how tensed I am. 3 months left for finals and I am----

D: Shup! Close your eyes, take a deep breath and calm down. We have 3 months that is 90 days so each day we will complete 2 chapters seriously and we can score better!! Sorted?

S: Woah!

I don't know how but she has always saved my ass. She always comes up with full proof plans. Damn!

D: Steve! What do you want to do now?

S: Let's do 1 chapter of Chem and then we will hangout a bit and then biology?

D: Perfect!

We studied Chem for 3 hours straight. Darce hated chem, she came up with new molecular structures and some weird reactions. She took 50 mins extra cause she was weak in chem.

D: Finally am done!! Break time. Let's go out.

S: yea...

I was busy chating with this girl on tinder. She was hot and single.

D: Steve you are literally flirting with someone 4 years older than you. Hold your horses!

S: Common it's no big deal.

D: You are such a fuckboy.

I paused. I stared deep into her eyes. "Fuckboy" echoed several times.

*Flashback *

(5 years ago)

I was 13 when I first fell in love with someone. She was beautiful not hot. She had long wavy hair, deep hazel eyes and a bit chubby face. Back then when I was in Amsterdam I fell in love with Pearl Norman, my classmate. We were together for 2 years and friends for 4 damn years. I still remember how we shared our tiffins and how I punched a guy when he made fun of her hair. One fine evening we met in a garden which was near my house. I still remember the weather was very cold and me and Pearl sat extremely close to each other.
That was the day I had my first kiss. We kissed each other and promised we will never stay away from each other and we will never date anyone else. With a wide smile plastered on my face and a happy heart I went back home.

I went to my room and I was thinking about Pearl. My mom interrupted my thought and announced that we were moving to Texas in a week. I argued and tried my best to stay in Amsterdam but to no avail.

The other day after school I informed Pearl about me moving to Texas.

She cried in front of me but I stood there completely helpless. I tried to engulfed her in my warm embrace but she pushed me firmly.

Pearl: you promised Steve. You are a liar. I will never talk to you again. I hate you.

She left me there. Alone.
From that day onwards I never felt love for anyone. I started using girls. Feelings are nothing for me.

*flashback ended*

Darci's Pov

D: You are such a fuck boy.

He paused and stared in my eyes for a while. He clenched his head and his eyes turned red.

D: are you okay?

D: are you okay?

He did not utter a single word and continued to stare in my eyes.

I rubbed his hand and tried to comfort him. I don't feel good now

Steve told me about Pearl Norman. Luck girl

D: it's OK Steve. Everything will be alright.

S: I don't give a fuck anymore. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.

I pursed my lips and did not utter any thing. My phone rang breaking the awkward silence.

Gray: hey Darci, its Gray!

D: Hello! Ssup?

G: please come over and teach me biology.

D: sure I will be there in a while.

I hugged Steve and made my way to Gray's place. Mr Dolan greeted me and asked me to wait in Gray's room as he had to get some important work done.

I sat on his bed and saw his diary. I wanted to read it so badly but I don't not want to hinder his privacy. I decided to sneak a peek. I flipped to the last page of his diary. It said.

"I would do anything to see her smile. Today I helped her and made her day. Unfortunately she loves someone else who is too dumb to realise her value. She fell for her best friend. Today her love kissed someone else in front of her  and at that moment I saw the life leave her beautiful eyes, even if she was not dead. I love you Darce."

Gray still loves me?
