The Hit You Missed

Repelling Magnets

(2 months later) Love, an intense feeling of deep affection, google. I never told you that James loved me, right? Because I never told you, my diary what happened between me and James. When I was getting bullied a time ago and James went looking for the suspect who sent me that horrible text. He came back to the restroom and hugged me and right after he hugged me there was a moment of awkward silence, and our faces were like two magnets, except that we went on opposite sides, repelling from each other even if we felt something between us. We leaned in closer to when I said, "why me, I never thought this would happen, and it did". James had spoken in a low tone just to my face. And do you know the most romantic part of this whole scandal was that we were the only two sophomores in the girls restroom.

 Right until, the school counselor opened the door to the restroom, and told us to come out. When we did James was right behind me one arm on my shoulder and the other at his side. Everyone was staring and was still laughing, and even some were in shock. I was extremely amazed how he didn't feel embarrassed. He made it feel like he was that one guy who was disappointed in everyone, even though most of them were guilty and hadn't reacted because those people actually knew what being bullied felt like, so it was a habit to ignore things like this.

When I got home James called me. And the crazy thing was that he facetimed me. So I could see his face and he could see mine. He asked me if I was alright and he said he had talked with the counselor for me. What a guy! It's like I was not bullied at all and I just wanted to play him because of all his caring towards me. How long will this last, it better be long.
