"I'll see you tomorrow, thanks for the ride."

"No problem."

Tell her.

It's only three words....

Tell her you love her, Garroth.

It's not that hard.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I choked out, before driving off.

Why couldn't I tell her?

Is it too early in our relationship to be saying I love you?

Would she be weirded out? She's my girlfriend, why would she be weirded out?

I'm overusing my brain...

I pulled into my driveway and parked the car. The thought never left my mind.

I need advice.

But no-

Oh Irene,

I picked up my phone and dialed the number.

"Laurance, I need advice...."

I could tell he was already smirking. "What do you need?"

"I don't know, well, okay, so I don't know if I should tell Aph I love her."

"So you're in love now?"

"No- yes, I love her." I finally say.

"You're sure about that?"

"Positive."

"If you're sure, then you should tell her. But don't force her to tell it to you back."

"Of course. Thank you, Laurance."

He sighed. "No problem. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date." Then the line went dead.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. I hope that Laurance finds someone. He is actually a really good guy.

I need to have the guts to tell her that.

I let out a frustrated sigh. "How am I suppose to do that?"

I pulled the sheets over me, turning to my side. It's hard to sleep when your mind is full of thoughts.

I closed my eyes, knowing a fitful sleep was yet to come.

"Good morning!" Aphmau chirped happily. She was right by my locker. I shut it, putting the lock back on it.

A smile pulled my lips. "Good morning, you ray of sunshine."

She walked alongside me. "Chemistry is first."

"Yes, I know."

"What do you want to do? School starts in like an hour."

"I-"

"Well, well, well," I heard a voice that was awfully too familiar.

"Ivy, what do you want?" Aphmau asked. I could see more of a fear in her eyes.
