My Gay Best Friend...Likes Me...?!?

Chapter 32 (Yasmin's P.O.V)

Looking back now I still remember his words. Each time I close my eyes or let my thoughts wonder too far, I'm back in that corridor again and can faintly remember him saying the words I love you before walking away. I'm not even sure if he did turn and look back at me. I wish he did but I'm not too sure. My head was messed up and it felt like my world is spinning. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by, I still feel like that sometimes. It's been two almost three weeks. Every time I think about it my heart aches. I stopped talking to a lot of people, cut myself off and only really talk to Aisha and my really close friends. After what happened with Hannah, I've just lost a lot of trust in a lot of things and thought it better this way.

She tried many times to talk to me and every time I knew it wouldn't be the last. Once it was clear to her that my trust in her was broken, her true colours showed. A lot happened that day but I'm trying to put it all behind me and live in the here and now.

Thinking about that day with him only brings hurt so I've distracted myself in reading and focusing on other things. Each time I try to forget him, the more I miss him but Aisha and my friends are helping me though it. I guess I got lucky in choosing my close friends. I don't know where I would be without them. Probably still lost and cut off. With their help I'm slowly getting back on my feet again.

Today was my last exam, I spent the night at Aisha's studying and I hope it's all paid off. Each time my mind wondered she was there to help pull me through to the here and now. I managed to slip away from my friends for a little while and was hiding in the library. Some of the best years of my life where here in these walls and I don't think I'm ready to really let go. I'm really going to miss the memories I've shared. Tomorrow is the leaving party and they were taking year book photos in an hour or so.

"Yasmin?" Someone said calling my name. I looked up. "Can you help this student find the history books?" Ms Downs smiled. I nodded my head and helped the kid find the section for history and even helped him chose the right book.

"Here you are. I've been looking for you everywhere." Aisha said from behind me.

"How'd you find me?" I asked following her.

"I know you. Anyway, wait hold on." I almost walked into her. "I've been looking for this book." I looked at the book she was holding in her hands but I couldn't see the cover. I was going to ask her about it when something caught my eye out the window. Aisha waved her hand in front of my face snapping me out my trance. "Aren't you going to get a book?" I glanced over her shoulder and saw Shane walking past.

I turned toward the books and looked for one I might like to read. I could feel my heart beat quicken and tried to distract my mind. "Dude come on the others are waiting for us." Jason's voice faded as they walked further away. I got the book I wanted and walked out with Aisha. I was going to ask Aisha about the book she was hiding from me but I walked into the door.

"Careful." I froze when I heard his voice.

"No. Not him." I whispered still looking at Aisha, my voice trembling. I stepped back when he tried to steady me. "We've got to go. Right Aisha." I grabbed Aisha's arm and tried to walk past him. But he stopped me. I looked at Aisha for help but Jason was stopping her.

"Yaz look at me." I looked past him and saw I had caught Ms Downs attention. Shane turned his head to see what I was looking at and then let me go. I hurried away with Aisha. My heartbeat Beating away in my chest. Once we were at a safe distance I took a few calming breaths. Aisha made sure I was ok.

"That idiot, I'm going to kill him if he try's that again." She exclaimed.

"Just need to get through today, Tomorrow and prom then I won't see him again." I tried to calm her down. We had the rest of the day free and I just wanted to sit in the shade outside and read under the tree at the front. But first it was time to take our pictures. Most the toilets were full of people getting ready but Aisha and I managed to find one that was empty at the moment by our Gym class. The year 8's were out on the field for another half an hour.
