Aphmau's POV

*Play Song*

"Aphmau! Pay attention!" The math teacher awoke me from my bored slumber. She gets her wish as my head whips up, my face blowing up with embarrassment. My hands got clammy and sweaty. 

My pencil dropped from my shaking hand as some snickers arose among the class.

"Yes...Ma'am." I managed out, panic-laced in my voice as I felt myself grow smaller.

 When the bell rung, I was one of the first ones out the door. It was free period so I went walking aimlessly around. All of my friends were either in class or not free.  

All I can think about now is him. The choices I made, were they right? 

I found a small cherry blossom tree to further ponder my regrettable decisions. I set myself down against the smooth bark. 

I look down and thought of his breath, 

His voice, 

His eyes, 

His ways, 

What he says.

I look back to our memories, trying to drag out the bad ones to make it easier. 

There were none, the good ones just adding to the pain.

They say thinking of the good ones help, it helps you understand, but they only confuse me more. 

When I looked up again, I saw Lily talking closely with.....Aaron.

Why...Aaron...

They were standing near the lockers and chatting away, Lily's smile annoyingly wide and beautiful.

I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs. I buried my face into my chest and started to cry softly, not caring that I was in a public setting or that I was crying yet again. I'm just a sensitive person, okay?

Then I heard a voice.

Aaron's POV

I'm still confused on what I did. 

Is this her way of telling me to move on, to love someone else, to live a different life......

I remember the small girl I saw, walking aimlessly around the elementary school. 

I remember my friends waving their hands in front of my face to get my attention. 

I was staring at her. 

The way she walked, 

The way she talked, 

The way she smiled.

All my friends whistled and teased. I didn't care, all I cared about was to find out the little girl's name, so I can replay it in my head and hope one day, she would want to know mine.

My blissful memories were cut off by a jarring, loud voice. 

I was leaning against the lockers in solidarity. (Cause Aaron just loves walls). 

I looked up and to my right, there stood my old friend, Lily. 

We really stopped talking in middle school because she transferred to another school. 

I know she likes me, but I clearly don't return those feelings.

"Hey there! Long time no see!" she exclaimed, apparently happy to see me. She was smiling a wide smile too big for her face it nearly scared me.

"Hey there Lily...when did you move back to town?" I wasn't as excited to see her. I had been really down in the dumps since Aphmau stopped talking to me. 

I have been starting to wear my mask and hood again. The teachers didn't mind since I was doing well in class. We seemed to have a common consensus on my predicament. 

I started to begin a conversation with Lily, mostly because I thought what bad could come from giving her the benefit of the doubt

When we were talking, I felt a small breeze in the air, weird, it was sunny and cloudy, with no wind today.

Where was the wind coming from?

The wind blew harder and made my head turn to my left, which I let happen with surprisingly no resistance.

I saw Aphmau sitting against the blossom tree in the middle, hugging her legs to her chest. Although all I wanted was to run over to her, I saw who she was talking with.

Gene...

Maybe she wants me to move on, I should turn to others when I usually turn to her. 

I wanted to kiss her so badly, but afraid of rejection, I waited, too long I see. 

Or maybe I just saved me pain.

Maybe she's showing me a choice, a choice to let go of what we had. 

To see past the horizon to a new life a new world.

But her eyes, 

Her voice, 

Her words, 

Her ways, 

The way she moves will be difficult to forget.

The choices I made, are they right?

Aphmau's POV
