Fleur of the Changing Colors

Confess

People can confess a lot of things... their sins, their guilt, their wish, a lot more. I was doing the same thing here... confessing... confessing my love . I've been in love with this guy for quite a while now. I really don't know how all this started, but gradually I discovered that I had feelings for him.
He was nothing worth looking twice at, neither was I. He wasn't anything that could be called handsome or muscular, neither was he particularly good at academics or sports. But there was something about him that even the most hottest guy in our college lacked to attract me. Slightly fat, spectacled, tall, brown hair along with mesmerising shady green eyes is what he looked like. "Childish" is how I'd describe his personality. And if you want me to tell you all bout his flaws,.. don't get me started. But despite all that, I liked him. He's my first love and I'm really proud that I'm in love with someone as innocent as him.

We will be graduating school next month and I won't be seeing him other than on my exam days and maybe never see him ever again. Being a girl who likes to blend into the background and not catch too much of an attention, I withheld my confession for about half a year now. But now I have nothing to fear. I decided that this was a do or die situation now. And thus, here I stood, looking like a proper girl, waiting for a reply. I know very well what his answer was gonna be. But I still went for it.
"I'm Sorry.." his voice spoke. I was expecting it. I knew this was gonna happen. But yet, why does my throat feel so dry and why do I feel so queasy?
"Oh it's fine. Haha. See ya later" with a big smile plastered across my face, I replied like any other High school anime girl. With that, I walked away whilst trying my best in keeping my composure and not collapsing due to being overcome with agony.

That's how easily I was rejected. I knew it very well that this was coming. Anyone would want to get themselves a pretty girlfriend or a handsome man. Not everyone were dumb and pathetic like me afterall...

The next day, as I comfortably sat on the rooftop snd stared up at the sky trying to forget bout my first love, someone came and sluggishly lied down... right beside me. Interest took over the silly me in a sec and I automatically turned my head towards the direction of my new companion. Guess speak of the devil, and he really will come. There he sat, my first love, mere inches away from me, staring up at the same sky. I was a little... correction, way too taken aback at his sudden actions to notice that he didn't have his usual hairstyle today. "Hey" he greets me all the while looking up at the sky. I've never spoken to him at all and top of that, we're from different classrooms so he must've never even known that such a dull girl as me existed until yesterday. I don't find any probable reason of why he should be greeting me out of nowhere. Nevertheless, I force back a smile and a cheerful "hey" on the surface.

I don't get it at all... the person who was my first love, the very person who rejected me seems to have turned into a creepy stalker of mine. This has been going on for almost four days now. Not that I hate it, if I could, I'd have ran up to him and flung my arms around him to pull him into a tight embrace right now. I really don't get it why he's taken a liking at stalking me all of a sudden. Whatever the reason is, it's hurting me way too much. I know he isn't dumb enough to know how much it might be stinging me. So why's he doing this to me ?!!

Frantically running down the hall way, gasping for breath, I spot a potential place to hide... the female's washroom. I was currently trying my best at running away from my stalker. Not because he was stalking me, but because he was stalking me. More than anything, I was too scared to let him find out my lingering, unerased feelings.
A few minutes later I spot his tall figure buzz past the girl's washroom where I was hiding. 'Why'?
A few more minutes pass and I start getting restless and impatient. Being the energetic girl I was, sitting around and hiding, all the while I got nothing to do was really out of the question for me.
"He just went past.. won't be coming back this way" thinking so I stepped out of the washroom, only to be caught in a sudden back hug by him, after walking a few steps.
His hug was warm and tight... I never knew he would be so strong as to hold back a struggling me with just an embrace.

It finally happened... what I had feared came true. He's fully aware of my feelings.. and yet he's doing this. "Why are you doing this?" I retort while big fat tears start streaming down my cheeks. "Listen to people till the end before walking away, idiot" he barks with a really intimidating aura that I've never seen before. A side of him that I find quite charming again. "What do you mean??" I shouted at the top of my lungs in between my sobbing. "There was more to my reply that day, idiot. I wanted to say that I was sorry cause I'll not be able to give you gifts or take you out on dates quite yet. But I'll date you cause I've always liked you as well !!!" Huh? This is a joke.. right? It's a God's prank right? This isn't happening. A girl such as me is getting confessed to by the guy she likes?!! "Really?" I ask, still not quite believing what I just heard.

With a small annoyed smirk that made him all the more enticing, he sweetly hummed into my ears "Geez, you still need to confirm it? You're the best thing that has ever happened to me !!!"
