The Second Choice

Two-Faced

All I ever hear from my friends are "I told you so" and "I'm happy for you", when I sent Amelia the video of Micheal and I dancing she was shook, but really happy for me at the same time. I'm very lucky to have her in my life, as well as my other friends who encouraged me to go for it.

I'm happy, like actually happy that he likes me, what's even more shocking is that I like him, I never really have any crushes on boys because well I never meet any good ones but he stood out.

He's so sweet to me and every time we talk my heart tends to skip a beat at how he blushes whenever he compliments me.

Every here and then when we would walk to our next class he would hug me, which I adored. And that's pretty much how it was for the entire day, just us talking and hugging and all that stuff that crushes do I guess.

I kept wondered if Micheal would ever ask me to be his girlfriend, I never had my first boyfriend so it would be great if he did, but I wouldn't want to move things so fast.

Then when spill-out came along he was acting well, weird around me like if he wanted to say something to me but he couldn't, or didn't want to.

I see him standing alone in the hallway, as if he is waiting for someone because he keeps looking left and right. "Maybe he's waiting for me to ask me to be his girlfriend." I think to myself so as I'm walking up to Micheal I stop when I notice that he's waiting for... Molly?

I see them talking for a while and before I know it he's holding her tight in her arms and rubbing her back.

I turn to the other direction and tell Amelia "I'm freaking out, do you see them hugging and him caressing her back?" I tell Amelia. "Relax Crystal they are probably just hugging as friends."

I look back one more time and once again he was hugging her. "You really think that it's just friends?" I tell Amelia. My heart tells me to look away but my eyes won't allow it, all I saw was how he smiled at her the way he smiled at me, looked at her the way he did me. My heart sank at the devastating view. He lied to me, he never liked me, he used me to get to her and I was his bait. He played me like a toy and now he's with the girl that he wants to be with and here I am, standing in the hallway heartbroken, wishing I was her.

My eyes start to tear up. I can't watch this anymore. I turn the other direction, literally bolted out the door.

I can't really see where I'm going, my vision is blurry from the tears forming in my eyes. "Crystal!" I wipe my eyes to see Christina calling out to me. "What's wrong, why are you crying?" She's asks me in a concerned tone. "It's M-Micheal" I sniffle to her. "He's w-with Molly". She looks shocked and sad at the same time. "I knew this would happen..." she says looking down. "What do you mean?" Did she know all this time he didn't like me?

"Emerly told me that when Molly saw you two dancing together, she went running to the bathroom and started crying. She kept repeating how she missed him and her heart broke at the sight of you two. I'm so sorry Crystal" I can't believe this. She honestly just couldn't be happy for us so she has to go and ruin it all.

My heart is numb. He lured me in to his trap only to grab ahold of me and rip my heart out of my chest. I've convinced myself that he wanted to be with me. He was my yes and I was his maybe.
