Accidental Love (Gacha Life)

Chapter 6: Texting (I)

A/N
This episode is just going to be about Leo and Jessica texting. I might make more episodes of them texting in the future. Think of it or something like Mystic Messenger! (Except they know each other). And I'm going to add everyone in the group. (X and Puff included.) Oh! And if your confused, this is the afternoon after Leo came home from the festival with Jessica. He had some free time so he used his phone. Anyways, hope chu enjoy! <3 (Also today's chapter is a little bit short. Sorry! ;-;)

"Heheh. I remember the day we first texted."
Pals Group Chat uwu

Leo: "Puff, where are you right now?"
Puff: "Idk LOL"
Leo: "Seriously!? Why'd you add all of us in this group chat anyway?"
Puff: "Idk. I was thinking let's sometimes go out someday again. Last time was fun."
Leo: "For you."
Leo: "This is stupid. Why am I even here?"

Jessica has joined the chat.

Jessica: "Good evening everyone!"
Leo: "Ah crap. The nerd's here too."
Jessica: "Hello, Leo! How are you doing?"
Leo: "I'm doing okay?"
Puff: "Couple talk :)"
Leo: "WTF!?"

Couple minutes later,
Puff: "Anyways bro, what kind of project are you even doing with friends?"
Leo: "We gotta make a presentation of something and literally nobody thought about it.
Jessica: "So your saying you just started now?"
Leo: "Exactly. Now I wish I wasn't paired with such idiots."
Leo: "Btw, Jess. How's the money?"
Jessica: "Really helped. Thank you so much, Leo! I appreciate it."
Leo: "No problem I guess?"
Puff: "Oh my goodness! Even Leo wouldn't do that to our family wtf dude."
Puff: "Also means that he has feelings for Jessica. Isn't that too early, Leo?"
Leo: "WTF SIS!?"
Puff: "Hehee I'm jk you sensitive idiot."

(In Real life - Puff and Leo) Leo's POV
"Hey, uh bro. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight I guess?" I heard Puff as she closed the door from my room. "Oh yeah, and don't go out too late for your project-thingy. Mom and Dad are seriously out again, and I might be inactive at around 3-4 PM. I promised to meet a couple of friends somewhere." She said, noting me. "Yeah yeah, sure whatever." She then closed the door. I was texting Jessica just to humiliate her even more. Actually SHE was texting ME.

Chat
Jessica: "Leo why are you still awake?"
Leo: "None of your business, smarty."
Jessica: "Well, okay. The reason why I'm not sleeping is actually really complicated."
Leo: "You better not get emotional about this, kid. I'm not in the mood for your stupid 'get alongs'"
Jessica: "No no. It's just that."
Jessica: "You sometimes appear in my mind, nonstop. It's a strange feeling I've got."
Jessica: "Leo, your my second best friend besides Puff and X. Your probably the only boy who understands me."

I was speechless. Jessica thought of me? No no! She's just a friend. This is a misunderstanding. This is dumb! Why do I feel these feelings? What's this itching of pain crashing in my stomach? What are these butterflies doing in my brain? Why am I getting shivers by thinking of her?

Jessica's POV
Hm, I wonder if Leo minds if I think of him. What if he feels creeped out by it? Saying it already makes me feel weird. Maybe he wont want to be with me anymore. No! No! Leo is a friend. He wouldn't do that, would he? Wait. Leo is a friend? Does he even think of me as a friend? Maybe I'm just a wall blocking his way. Doesn't he find me annoying?

Beep!

I heard my phone buzz as I was about to hide myself inside the blanket.

Chat
Leo: "Whatever. Your not alone I guess?"
Jessica: "What do you mean by that?"
Leo: "I guess you also appear in my thoughts. Don't you think I like you though. Just a stupid feeling."

I was relieved as I saw his text. Actually, my heart started to beat normally. I was starting to get itchy feelings about what I just said. Was I stupid? Yes I was when I said that. I should've just kept it to myself. I shouldn't have told him. I'm not his friend. He particularly finds me annoying, doesn't he? Yes he does. I will probably just ignore him now. I won't get in his way.

Chat
Jessica: "Leo. I need to go. Talk to you later!"
Leo: "Good timing. Was just about to go, too. Cya I guess."

Leo's POV
I turned my phone off as I went to my bed and sinked into the sheets. I was honestly really stressed. I wasn't even thinking about the project anymore. What filled my thoughts was, in fact Jessica. She was stuck in my brain and I couldn't let the USB out. It's like I can't wait to see her. Her smile, her face, her everything. But, why am I feeling like this? Why am I saying these words? What was I thinking when I first saw her?

Honestly, I don't know either way. This is a stupid feeling that I simply wish for it to go away. I want to stop being able to feel like this. It's almost like if I'm not near Jessica, I can't breathe properly. No wait, it's like I can't even LIVE my OWN life properly! It's like after I met her, my life changed completely, and it's stupid! Stupid! Dumb!

I don't know how I got these thoughts of her, but it makes me feel sick. It almost feels like as if I'm trapped inside my own brain. It feels like, everything I do reminds me of Jessica. Why am I doing this? Why am I thinking of her? Why did I even meet her in the first place? Why did I agree to let her see me in the first place!? My train of thoughts ran over me as I shake intensely on my bed.

I've made a bad decision. This feeling in my body, it's consuming the life out of me. It's consuming my everything. My life, my past, my brain, everything.

Yet I still thirst for more..?
