he entered the classroom and created eye contact with me as he walked closer. i tried to hide my swollen eyes and dull countenence with my hair and looked away.
"are you okay? you seem a bit off."
"yes, of course. i'm fine."
i gave him a small, fake smile of assurance. i knew that he didn't buy my excuse, but thankfully, he let it go.
"that's good. just come to me if you're ever sad."
he shot a real, eye smile at me, causing my heartbeat to speed faster.
i still love him, but i know that i shouldn't.
