Two Idiots and A Girl

Am I Hallucinating?

Tenteden! It’s been a long, long time. Here's a chapter for you! :) (dedicated to @Graygrayscout for adding this story to his/her RL. Thank you!)

CHAPTER 27

*ZOE'S POV*

"He missed me." I said to myself over again. "Craig missed me."

As much as I wanted to return a hug, I can't. This is not the time to confess everything, I love him but I need time to think. I know I'm being selfish, making Craig wait longer.

For times like this, I cannot afford to risk something. This thing is so vulnerable, one wrong move and all of us will suffer pain. More pain than what I'm feeling right now. And obviously what Craig feels right now and Ash too.

It's so heartbreaking to see Craig begging and calling my name when I left him by the pond when I raised hope in him the moment I talked to him in the cafeteria.

I missed him too. So infinite much.

And now I regret talking to him this day. I only wanted to hear his voice and see him smile, but I didn't expect that his smile will make me so weak. So weak to hold in my true feelings and make me run away.

Mr. Sanders is boring the hell out of me, my eyes were drowsy and I wanted to sleep. All this lines and circles forming on a back page of my notebook makes no sense. I'm just writing these to make myself awake.

I rip off a page full of crap and the next revealed Craig's name. That's the moment Mr. Sanders called him, I didn't move and strained myself rom checking him up.

By that, I busied myself drawing hearts around the letters of his name so I looked like writing down what our teacher was saying.

If only he knew what I was doing then I'll make him happy.

I shaded the heart shapes with a red ink pen and thickening the letters C-R-A-I-G to emboss it out. It's been a long time since I talked to him, I wonder what he's wanting to say to me?

The lecture resumed, I waited a while before glancing behind me to stare on Craig. He's smirking to Sasha, and Sasha's reading something on her phone. I watched them more, getting curious about what they're doing.

Sasha's texting him too. They're exchanging messages in the middle of the class? Wow, that was sweet.

Of course I meant that with sarcasm.

I sighed and averted my eyes from them.

Maybe they should date each other, they looked good when they're together and so cute. They'll make a perfect match.

She will never give him pain, suffering and misery. I can feel it, the way they stared at each other is something more. Their eyes were talking to one another. Sometimes I think Craig is Sasha's real ex and not Ash. She's so casual around Ash that's why. And the way Craig look at her since the day Sasha came, it's definitely something.

My hand stopped from shading the hearts, the paper's worn out. I didn't notice there's already a tiny hole in it.

I shot my head back to erase the thoughts and sighed silently. Damn this jealousy.

Mr. Sanders top his lectures up in time the bell rang. I quickly look at Craig, he's looking at Sasha as she fixed her things and stood up. He held her arm, stopping him from going.

I retreated from watching, I cannot stand looking at them.

I didn't bother fixing my notebook and stuff, my arms were full as I headed out the room. Maybe Craig and Sasha need some alone time. And that doesn't include me.
