John did end up with Cynthia the next few days. They walked together holding hands, kissing in the hallways, and the sad part was, he seemed happier than when he was with me. This time I really was alone, ate alone, walked alone, I have no friends. I was sitting alone at the table, watching people walk by, then Ringo sits next to me.
Ringo: hey Mal
Mallory: hey...
Ringo: are ye okay?
I looked at him, and frowned.
Mallory: do I look like I am?
Ringo: no, look I really am sorry
Mallory: I should be the one apologizing, if I hadn't gone out with John we wouldn't be in this mess
Ringo: it's not your fault, I mean being together for so long, we eventually get mad at each other
Mallory: but this time, we hate each other
Ringo: well, I don't hate ye
Mallory: (chuckles) you obviously don't
Ringo: I don't care if you walk away or stay when I say this but....I love ye Mal
Mallory: Ringo I-
Ringo: I know, I just had to say it
Mallory: you're very sweet (smiles) but I'm not ready, I don't think I'll ever be
Ringo: that's fine luv, it is
The bell rings and I stand up. Ringo does too and I smile at him, we walked separate directions. Ringo's confession started to bug me, I couldn't stop thinking about it! Does this mean I'm starting to like him back?
