The irony of Love

Authors note
Hi guys
This is the first time I'm writing and will so much appreciate your comments and likes.
This story is drawn from life experiences and expectancy.
I won't bore you much with my long talks, let's roll into it.

Chapter 1
It was about 2:00 in the afternoon in Ebel's room, where he sat with Gracie.
I heard from a friend that you allow the boys in the school to touch you all the time, I decided to hear from the horses own mouth Ebel said.
How on earth would you believe or listen to anything like that. I will do no such thing and I'm even wondering who will give you such information, who told you such lies? Ebel tell me.
It doesn't matter who told me, besides I promised not to reveal his identity.
Anyway that's not true.
I believe you, but I want to ask one question, please answer with all sincerity.
Sure go ahead, what is it?
Do you have feelings for me Gracie?
There was silence for a while.
Come on Gracie tell me.
In a soft whisper, Gracie said yes.
Are you sure you do?
Absolutely.

Gracie's POV
there was absolute silence after I said yes to him. I was waiting for him to tell me he does too, but there was none. My thirteen year old mind, did not really mind that. I love him, and that is all that matters. He leaned forward and tried to kiss me. I loved him but I wasn't ready for that.
Won't you kiss me?
No Ebel I don't think I'm ready for that
I thought you loved me.
I do but I can't..
Let me teach you.
No I don't want to.
Its okay, I won't push you into anything you're not ready for, and I'm proud you could take that bold decision, despite your feelings for me.
Ebel is the perfect gentleman and I definitely love him.
I left for my house, which was a few blocks away from his house on the mango Avenue.
