Lovestruck

Chapter 4

**Bethany's P.O.V**

I have had the strangest day. I swore that Bobby secretly liked Agatha, but today he asked out Natalia! Natalia! Why would he ask her out? He doesn't even know her. I'm really upset, but I'm not that upset because Natalia turned him down because she really likes Tony. I feel really bad for Agatha, though. She ran to the bathroom crying right after.

This is what happened. The bell had just rung, so Agatha and I were on our way to lunch. Then, we saw Bobby. Bobby usually walks with us to lunch, but lately he stopped doing that. We saw him walking towards Natalia, so we followed him to see what was happening. He asked her if he could speak to her privately. She agreed and they walked into a staircase. Agatha and I quietly followed behind. Then, we heard Bobby say the words we never thought we would hear him say.

"Natalia (pause) , I know this is all of a sudden, but I think you're great and really pretty, and I just wanted to know if maybe... y-you wanted to be my g-girlfriend."

Bobby looked constipated. He wasn't even able to look her in the eyes. Natalia looked super uncomfortable too.

"Bobby, you're great and all, but I think I'm starting to have feelings for Tony. I'm really sorry, I hope we can still be friends, though!", Natalia said.

Bobby's face turned cherry red. I don't think he was expecting her to say no. He just went downstairs without saying anything. Agatha and I ran to the nearest bathroom before Natalia could see us. I gave Agatha a hug and she started crying on my shoulder. I know that must've hurt her more than anything. Why would Bobby do that? To make matters worse, it didn't look like he was asking genuinely, he looked like he was being forced to ask her or something.

I think there's something wrong with Bobby. He's been acting really awkward and secluded lately. Maybe it's my fault. I haven't been hanging out with him a lot lately. I've been hanging out with Tony and Natalia a lot because they're in all my classes. I also started taking the train with this new girl named Sasha who seems really nice. I never lost touch with Agatha, though. We still hang out on the weekends and talk on the phone. I just wish Bobby and I hadn't drifted apart. I tried talking to him about it and he just changes the subject. I know that Bobby and Agatha are in all the same classes and I thought if I sort of excluded myself, they would get closer and fall in love or something. It doesn't seem like that, though. Instead, it seems like Bobby is staring to become depressed. Maybe I should tell Bobby that Agatha likes him. Maybe if he knew for sure they could finally be together. But, what if he doesn't like her back, then Agatha will hate me. I can't sit back and watch Agatha be sad all the time because Bobby doesn't like her. I have to tell him to make her happy.

It's weird because I was really upset when Bobby asked out Natalia. I'm not sure if it was because I care about Agatha or if it was because I might..... I can't even think about that! It's just that I had this odd dream that Natalia, Sasha, Bobby and I went to a club and Sasha slipped something in my drink and I started acting crazy and fainted. Then Bobby took me home and took care of me. I told my mom about it and she said that I might be starting to subconsciously like Bobby. That is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! That's betraying Agatha in so many ways! I just need to get them together and maybe this will go away.
