Love Ain't My Game [[✔️✔️COMPLETED✔️✔️]]

Chapter 6

It had been a week since Kevin confessed to me. I'm still not convinced that he said those things out of pure feelings. Maybe he wanted notes from me forever? No one ever knows. I hadn't talked to him since then.

My parents were still busy and my classmates were still copying my notes. Nothing had changed. Life was still the same. I had no truck with Kevin's lies. He tried to talk to me but i just avoided him whenever I could. And Charissa had stopped borrowing my notes. This definitely had something to do with Kevin. Or else, she wouldn't miss a single chance to copy my stuffs.

Our final exam was close. I was glad that school would end soon. After that neither I had to stress about Kevin's bullshit nor hurt myself. His presence made me numb. Whenever he was around, I wanted to run away. So far from him that I wouldn't have to meet someone who even knows him. He was that toxic for me.

"Kevin", Charissa ran waving towards Kevin as he was struggling to bounce a ball. His little hands couldn't hit the ball as hard to the ground.

"Pass me the ball", Charissa shouts to him .

"I'm not playing girls' game." Kevin googles at her.

"Fine" Charissa frowns and leaves him alone.

The school playground seems all empty as Kevin looks around. He sees someone at a distance. He runs towards the person sitting on a bench with some books. And as he gets closer, he recognizes the face: Betsy. The girl in class that answers every single question the teacher asks.

"Hey", he called out to her.

But she just ignored. She was reading a fairy tale book and seemed to be completely lost in it. That very moment, Kevin had felt a magnet like pull whenever he saw her. He had tried to talk to her many times but she never even noticed him. Middle school was over for Kevin Cowboyhat, just staring at the girl that gave him goosebumps without even looking. Little Kevin had never realised what it was until Junior High.

Kevin's POV:-

As I recalled memories from the past, I felt regret. I regret that I couldn't start the friendship fresh when we were still kids. If I had made some effort into talking to her, maybe she would have liked me back and we could be best friends by now. I don't even know what I did to lose her friendship but whatever it is, I'm ready to make it up to her.

Lunch break:-
I walk to Betsy and see her eating some random microwaved food, as usual.

"Can I try some?", I casually start the conversation like nothing had happened. I didn't know yet why she was ignoring me.

She just quietly eats her food without even looking at me. Wow! She's so good at this. Ignoring me like I don't even exist. She probably doesn't feel the same about me anyway. It's just me.

"Hey, I don't know what it is, I tried asking you but you just don't tell me anything. If there's anything I've done wrong, I'm ready to apologize."

"I'm good without friends", was the only thing she told me. In two weeks, that's the only thing she spoke. And with the four words, she started eating her food in silence. I was speechless and ran out of words. My mind went blank. She was the wasabi: making my mouth go numb. I left her alone with her food. There was no point in forcing my friendship on her when she wasn't even interested in having friends.

Betsy's POV:-

As Kevin left, I could  feel my heart pounding so hard that it could burst. I like him, he claims to like me too.  But I don't like the idea. Especially after seeing him with Charissa behind that tree.

Once the finals result is out, I'll be done with this bullshit. I don't ever want to see him after school.
