Melody

I sit here with my glasses that I dare not to wear in front of a human being, and my hair tied, studying for my Calculus test I have in two days, when a loud three knocks is sounded at the door.

I jump, and stomp to the door, not remembering my thick rimmed glasses, ready to cuss the person out. 

I open the door, and Justin barges in. "Yea, dude. Come in. Let me get you some tea." I roll my eyes, and look at his face.

Justin looked like he was going to break down. "Jay, what's wrong?" I walk over to him, and he looked up at me.

"I don't think I can do it, Mel. Days before the day I wanna confess to the girl I've been crushing on since primary. It's eating me alive!" He panics, and I'm shocked by his outburst.

"What? Justin, It's jut a phase. You can do it." I step closer, and he scoots back.

"That's what I'm not sure about. I'm not sure if its a phase. I'm not sure I want to tell her. I'm having mixed feelings..." He says, and tugs at his hair.

"Shhh," I hug his torso, and he lets me. "Like I said, a phase. At the dance, everything's gonna be told, correct?" I ask, and he nods.

"What if it comes out wrong, or she doesn't like me? Mel . . Oh Mel." He snuggles his face in my neck, and hugs me tighter.

"She will. Who wouldn't? You're smart, funny, attractive, a great person, athletic. She'd be crazy." I speak, and it's not easy supporting this huge guy with my tiny frame.

He stands up straight, and I stand back, letting him go. 

My nerves are at an end, as he stares at me, looking almost like he doesn't believe me. "Really?" He asks, and I nod.

"Really." I comfirm.

"How do you do it?" He asks, and I'm dumbfounded. "You stay so calm, and collect . . Not affected. Sam asked you to the dance, and you almost reject him?" He says, and I tense up. 

I told him about Sam? Hell, I forgot about Sam.

"Justin," I sigh, and he glances hopefully at me like I'm going to tell him the reason behind life. "I—I don't know what to say. I look calm, I guess, but I'm not." I say, thinking about how it is with Justin.

"What do I do?" He says, more to himslf.

I take a breath. "You're going to go home. Wait the rest of this week out, and then confess your feelings to Farah. She will fall for you, and then we all live happily ever after." I tell him, but the voice in the back of my head screams at me.

Except you! Farah will win once again.

He smiles weakly, and shrugs. "The real reason I came here was for my book. Not to scream at you." He chuckles, and I nod, handing him the book that lie on the table.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He gives me a kiss on the cheek, and I breathe sharply.

Is he completely oblivious to the sparks?

"Yep!" I confirm, and he smiles.

"Sam's lucky to take you." He speaks, and my heart flutters.

"Thanks." I whisper, and he nods his head, heading for the door.

As he opens, and turns to go out, he smirks up at me. "Nice glasses."

I roll my eyes, and plop back on the couch.

"This isn't fair." I say outloud, for anyone to hear.

Farah

It's eating me alive. What's she going to say? What will Melody's reaction be? Will she be happy that I've found love?

Will she never speak to me again? I love my best friend, and I don't want to lose her.

"Ready, Babe?" He asks, and I nod, taking his outstretched hand. "I love you." He speaks, and I return the favor. 

Justin

As I drive back from Mel's, I feel calmer, and pass by a lake. Two people sitting laughing, and I frown at their happiness.

Maybe me and Farah are meant to be. That girls face is starting to look like Farahs.

The light catches the girls eyes, and I see the back of the guys head, dark hair, well built. Then I look to the girl.

Holy crap! That is Farah!

And that's not Kyle.
