A high school story

Annie's P.O.V
So I was walking and I saw Alexis, Erick and Christopher. I decided to walk with them since I had nobody else. When Christopher saw me coming he walked the other direction because I guess he felt awkward about what happened at lunch. Which I understand I mean it was pretty weird. The thing is that he said I was his that made me happy like he actually liked me a lot. I think he's cute so I want to get to know him and give him a shot but I'm too scared. I ask Erick why he left and I was right he said he was embarrassed. I asked Erick and Alexis for advice and they said "he's probably scared that your gonna reject him or something". He probably thinks I don't like him cause I ran away from him earlier. I feel so bad I need to talk to him. I say but I do like him I have to go so I ran down the hallway to catch up with him. I finally catch up to him and I smile and say hey why did you leave.

Christopher's P.O.V
Escuché a alguien venir detrás de mí y me doy vuelta y veo a Annie. ella dice "oye, ¿por qué te fuiste?" La miro y me encogí de hombros. No sabía qué decir, tenía miedo de que ella no me gustara. Ella dice que está bien. Sé que tienes miedo, pero necesito hablar contigo. La miro y digo que el dije en el lonche no era cierto, simplemente se me escapó. Lo siento si te hice sentir incómodo. Ella ni siquiera me mira y dice que eso está bien, que solo voy a irme ahora. Ella se aleja triste y de repente estoy confundida. Rose es su mejor amiga y lo sabe todo. Tengo que ir a hablar con ella. Necesito que Rose me explique todo. Realmente espero no haber arruinado mi oportunidad. Veo a Rose caminando con Richard y estas otras dos personas que ni siquiera conozco, pero las ignoro y simplemente la arrastro conmigo y digo que es una emergencia.

Rose's P.O.V
I was walking in the hallway and laughing at Richard when all of a sudden I feel someone pull me and say "come on it's an emergency". I look up and it's Christopher I say "oh hey Chris a nice hey can we talk would've been nice" he looks at me and says I'm sorry it's just important it's about Annie. I say "oh what's up". He explains me everything about how he was scared and he said he told her that he didn't mean what he said. He asks me what do you think I say I don't want to be mean but your dumb for that. He gets scared and says why?? I say calm down and look Annie likes you too that's the only reason she ran away. She was trying to tell you she felt the same way cause she felt bad for doing that.  She also told me before we went to class that you saying that made her happy but you technically messed up. He starts panicking and I snap him out of it and say look don't worry I'll help you. He calms down and says thanks what are we gonna do. I say first I have to talk to her how she feels about this whole situation. I tell him that I'm not gonna say I talked to him that we are going to the cafe and to meet us there. He says ok and asks for a time. I tell him 6:30 and then he hugs me and goes to class. I laugh and see Joel and wave at him but he just walks away.

Joel's P.O.V
I turn the corner to see Christopher hug Rose and then he left. Rose sees me and waves but I just leave because I don't want to talk to her. Well I just met her it's not like I like her or anything. Rose catches up to me and asks if I'm ok. I tell her yea I'm fine I just don't feel like talking to anyone right now. She says oh ok well I'm here to help if you want. I look at her and say thanks but I'm fine she smiles and says ok well I'll leave you alone then. I call her back and say "wait".  She turns to me and says "yea" I just say um do you want to hang out with friends later? She looks at me disappointed and says I'm so sorry but I have to help Christopher with Annie maybe next time. I look at her and smile and say ok how about tomorrow we can all go. She smiles and says yes of course I'll ask my mom and dad. We hug and say our goodbyes and go to our next class. I felt way better that she's just helping him. One thing I won't tell her is that I like her. I've never thought I would like someone as much as I like Rose. She will never know and I really hope she doesn't like anyone either. I was crazy to think Rose and Christopher were a thing. I knew everything all along I guess I forgot.
