Meilin x Abeke - A Little Love Sick

Abeke's PoV -

     I really should have been doing my homework but as always I found something else to do instead. I scrolled through Instagram trying to find my most favorite person in the world account. Her name is Meilin and we are the best of friends but I secretly hoped to be something more. There was one big problem with that dream, she already had eyes for someone else. I loved her, I couldn't deny it. Finally, I found her latest post.

Dear World,
     If someone you love treats you like shit, run away from them. Believe me, you don't have to put up with their BS. Be strong and independent. There is always someone out there waiting for you.
~Meilin

     I think my heart skipped a beat. Now was my time. Meilin was single at last, I had a chance. That night I didn't even do my homework. Instead I thought of her and what I would do to try to win her over. Sometimes my mind would skip over the whole winning her over part and fantasies about what I would do with he once we were a couple. I needed to hurry. The school dance was only a month away.

     The next day I got to school early so I could talk with Meilin. She looked sad so I asked her what was wrong. I worried that she could she my nervousness. When I was around her it became difficult for me to act normal. Meilin didn't seem to notice. "Last night I found out that my girlfriend was cheating on me," she said obviously trying to hold back tears.

     "I'm so sorry Meilin," I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, "you deserve so much better than that."

     I was mad at her exgirlfriend, Meilin was perfect, how could she have broken her heart like that. Then again, the jerk did give me an opportunity to win Meilin's heart over. "Thanks, Abeke, but I'm fine, I just really miss her," I was afraid I actually flinched, Meilin's words cut sharp, she still loved her.

     I would just have to try all the harder to win her over. The week that followed I keep close to Meilin, dropping all too subtle flirts, holding doors open for here, and complementing her, more than the usual. She still didn't seem to get the hint that I was flirting with her.

     It was almost Valentine's Day and I had thought long and hard about what I should do. Finally, I came to the conclusion, I would buy Meilin some flowers, chocolates, and a cute card, I would then ask her out. I prayed and hoped that she would accept. The next few days I played over and over in my head how my plans would go. It just had to work!

     It was the day before Valentine's Day and I went to the store and bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers, some heart shaped chocolates with strawberry filling, her favorite. I also found a card with a panda holding a heart on it. She would love it.

     That night I scrolled through Instagram again and found Meilin's account. My heart broke at what I saw. There was a picture of her and her now not so ex, exgirlfriend together again, cuddling. With the text "I'm so glad to have my baby girl back in my arms."

     Tears sobbed uncontrollably down my face. In a rage I plucked every petal off the flowers saying, "she loves me not."

     I crumpled the card and the box of uneaten chocolates and threw them away. I failed, I had failed to win over Meilin's heart.
