My Romeo

Waiting

Mara's P.O.V.

The only time he ever texted me was the night of the prom to let me know he was on his way. Other than that, we just talked in person, which I actually liked a lot. With him, I would rather have a face-to-face conversation with him rather than not hear his giggles.

But today, as I studied alone in my room for my English test, he texted me.

I have to talk to you about something.

Oh no. My heart immediately started to race as I read it over and over again.

What? I replied with tears in my eyes. I was never much of an optimist, which explained why I jumped at his text.

Minutes passed. I keot staring at my phone as I waited for him. I thought that maybe if I studied and took my mind off of it, maybe he would reply sooner.

He finally replied after thirty minutes.

Gwen.

Shit.
