Last Song Syndrome

Chapter Six

YUMI'S POV

I can't sleep! I regret what I did just awhile ago! Instead of telling him I love him, I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I almost thought I spent my whole life in there, thinking of what to do next. But when I had the guts to spit it out, I found out Drew left the house already, leaving me with a note saying 'Sorry for the mess. I got to go'. I don't know what he's referring to as 'mess'. It's either the cake or the kiss.

I cleaned everything and crawled to my bed. I realized I spent all my weekend with him. We're gonna have classes again tomorrow, it's Monday. And there's one thing I predicted, I'm not getting any good sleep tonight...

...

So it's Monday. Kewl. School went by so fast, I'm now here in the parking lot. The last bell jast rang and school's out. Nothing out of normal happened today, except for the fact that Drew did not join me for lunch, I never saw him all day and that I got 95 in our previous Algebra test, which is pretty impossible. But for once, I never had anyone to celebrate it to. That sums up everything.

I did not dare to call Drew. The thing is, I want to but did not dare to. I don't want to look too attached or something worse than 'too attached'. He's not talking to me, maybe that's a good thing? He might really don't feel like talking to me after what happened, after that long kiss. But maybe it's a bad thing...

I freezed. No! This is a bad thing!!

I... can't... believe... what I'm staring at right now! My jaw dropped on public, this is so not gonna happen! Pinch me, I'm dreaming! I must be dreaming!! Oh my God, what's the meaning of this? Don't you have time to explain everything to me?!

Drew caught me staring at them, so I faced the opposite direction. Yes, them. They were hand-in-hand! Drew... is... with... another girl! And I recognized her from French class, her name's Vanessa. She's a cool brunette with the brains and talents you won't mind competing with. I call her Van, but I seldom talk to her. I can't believe I'm seeing this!!

I tried to steal a glance at them but to my luck, they were heading my way. What am I gonna do? I calmed myself down.

"Hey, Drew, I haven't seen you around since this morning. You didn't even join me for lunch. Now I see you've been hanging out with her."

Drew smiled as he glanced at Vanessa. I don't like this! The smile's not for me and this is really bad luck. "Yes, I've been seeing her since last month and secretly admiring her. Finally, I had a chance to talk to her again and I tell you, she's very awesome to talk to so I decided to invite her out for lunch. I'm sorry, Yumi, I forgot to tell you..."

So... that's... it? You forgot about me while you never left my mind even for a second!!

My heart broke apart as I hear the words coming out from his mouth. Words like 'i like her'.

"...I like her." He added. I didn't understand what he said, the only words clear to me are the words that are telling me he likes other girls but not me.

"Y-you two looks perfect with each other." Trust me, it tore me apart to say those words. It was then a long pause when I stopped talking. They were smiling at each other, flirting with their eyes while I was just standing there looking at them. I noticed that Vanessa is blushing. Ugh it must be love.
