Expectations

I tried to ran away.... away from the two of them

...from this feeling...

...from him....

 

But how do you ran away from someone who always know who you are, knows you so well that  you can't hide from them anymore?

 

"Boo" a velvety voice whispered in my ear that startled me "Found you"

"What the-! Sky!" I laughed

He laughed.

"I'm getting tired with this game" I said crossing my arms "You always found me first"

 

Playing hide and seek was one thing we both grew up with

he chuckled and gave me that snarky smile of his "I know you all too well for me to find you"

 

Yeah, you really do....

"So did you found Lil yet?" I asked as we walk

"Nope"

So we searched for her while we talked

“Listen, I like someone..."

 

My heart suddenly beat fast "Really? That’s something new... I couldn't believe a guy like you who is so full of himself could like someone" I laughed

"Tss! of course, what do you think? It's nice to share some love every once in awhile" he said in a straight face that I laughed

"Anyway, who is it?"

"I’m sure you'll figure it out" he grinned

 

We continued to argue who it is that he likes... But he won't tell me,

And I won’t lie to you... There is this hope that bugs me inside out.

 

It took us 3 minutes to find her,

"You're one good player" Skyler remarked

"heh. of course" she smiled

 

Pretty Lily, I wish I got that look... Red head, beautiful smile, great attitude, smart…

Things I don’t have… except for the smartness of course. (haha!)

"So what are your plans for tomorrow's valentine’s day?" Lily suddenly asked

We both stop in our tracks and look at each other and laughed

"Nothing" we chorused and I looked away

 

I don't know when this started but... ever since I found out I like-- love Skyler it's all awkward for me now.

"Hey Rosie!" Skyler greeted me "Library again? You never get tired of this place would you?" he chuckled

"Never" I smiled but my eyes was still in the book

"So, uh... Rose? I need your advice"

"Advice?" this time I placed my book to the side "About what?"

"I want to give Lily a present this Valentine’s Day" he said a bit hesitant

"w-wait? Lily?" My heart stopped, did I heard him right?
