I like you - Valentines Special

Chapter Five

           

Chapter Five

  It was Thursday; including today, I had four full days here before I move to Singapore. It was also the first day I was going to school as Austin's girlfriend. Usually, I would feel anxious going to school on a normal day. To say that I was anxious and nervous while going to school today would be the biggest understatement of my life. Everyone in the school knew Austin as the 'it' guy in school. It was nearly impossible to find any person in the school who doesn't know Austin. All the girls that Austin had went out had good figures, pretty faces, and most of them are somewhat well loved by the student body. I didn't know if I could live up to that. I also don't want to ruin Austin's 'it' guy reputation. I'm just a normal student in the school who rarely gets noticed by any boys and many girls would verbally bully me because I'm best friends Abigail and Austin. I wasn't even sure I was able to go to school today.

  Austin must have sense my uneasiness because he took my hand and squeezed it gently to try and calm me down.

  "Hey, it's going to be ok. Just pretend it's only you, me and Aby," he tried to calm me down even more before we entered the school.

  I just smiled at him as a respond. I was too anxious to even talk.

  All I could hear as soon as Austin and I walked into school were whispers and murmurs. We were holding hands as we walked into school. There are a mix reaction and thoughts from everyone. Some thought that us holding hands was a best friend thing. Others got it right by thinking that we decided to date. Most of Austin's fangirls were glaring at us, especially at me.

  "You finally grew some balls, didn't you?" Aby asked to no one in particular when we were taking our stuff out of the locker.

  "Yes, I did," Austin replied her before I could even say anything.

  "Wait. Wait. Wait," I stopped taking my books out from my locker once I comprehend what Austin meant.

  "You knew and you didn't tell me that he likes me?!" I whispered slash shouted at Abigail.

  "Hey! Don't blame me. He told me not to say anything," she said that while holding her hands up, surrendering.

  I turned to Austin and looked at him with a confused look on my face and asked, "Why not?"

  He just shrugged and replied, "Just because I wanted my confession to be special and not through Aby." Awww that's so sweet of him.

  "Barf I tell you. BARF!" that was Aby's respond to Austin cuteness and sweetness towards me.

  I just laughed at her reaction. Once she saw me laughing at her, she stuck her tounge out at me. She also did a bunch of funny faces to me. Austin, who was standing next to me, must have found Aby's actions hilarious because he burst out laughing in the end. Once Austin's contagious laugh was heard, both me and Aby ended up joining Austin and laughed like crazy. I'm pretty sure that the people around us were staring at us weirdly. Normally, I would care about how those people see me but at that moment I didn't care.

  Once I move, I won't be able to have these random moments together with my two best friends. I won't be able to laugh at Aby's random weirdness or Austin's contagious laugh. I won't be able to attend school with them. I won't be able to eat lunch with them. When I'm lonely and need a friend, I can't just cycle to their house and sleep over. I would be half way across the world. I'm going to miss two of my most favourite people in this world.

  I don't even know how I'm going to survive without them. Without Aby, I wouldn't have anyone to team up with to tease Austin (heck, without Austin, there would be no one to tease). Without Austin, there won't be anyone who would give me piggy back rides and drive me around to where ever I want to go. What am I going to do without them?
