Hope

Day Four

[Three days, and acting is starting to get boring. Should I end it early? Wait I can't yet, I made a promise. I promised Savio that I would wait until my seven days were up before choosing whether to end it or to keep on going forwards. Plus Savio is here still, he would notice that I didn't come down for breakfast.]

"Hey Hope breakfast is ready, come on down as soon as you're done getting ready for school."

Savio knocked on my door, snapping me from my thoughts. I got out of bed and got ready in record time, heading downstairs as I zipped up my sweater.

"What time is it?"

I asked as I started shoveling the delicious breakfast into my mouth, I saw him look at the clock and start eating as fast as he could.

"Almost time to go, and I've still got to get ready."

He answered after he finished eating, then he raced upstairs and came back down just as fast when he was ready. I put our dishes in the sink then we raced each other to the bus stop, getting there at the same time as the bus and climbed on first.

(Time~Skip)

[Why does my heart skip a beat when I see him? Why can I feel my face heating up when he says my name? Why does it hurt when I see him talking to other girls? What does this all mean?]

Feeling someone pulling my arm, I snapped out my thoughts and looked at the source.

"You alright? I've been trying to get your attention for a while now."

Savio asked me, I looked down feeling my face heat up again and nodded.

"Just a little confused about something, it's not class related though."

I mumbled quietly, making it just loud enough for him to hear.

"What's it about?"

He pried, pulling a chair up to my desk. My face heated up even more, since he had gotten closer.

"Just trying to figure out what emotion I'm feeling towards this person, it feels really strange since I've never felt this way for anyone before."

I answered softly, not knowing what else to say.

"Why don't you explain it? I'll see if I can help."

Savio offered gently, moving a loose strand of hair from my face.

"My heart skips a beat when I see him, and it hurts when I see him with other girls. I can feel my face heating up whenever he comes close or looks at me."

I told him as I rested my head on my desk, hiding my face from him.

"You're in love with this guy. Whoever he is, he's lucky to have you love him. So tell me, who's the lucky guy?"

Savio answered, causing me to sit up quickly in shock.

[It's love... I love him, Savio...]

"It's you..."

I whispered quietly, praying that he didn't hear me. I look at him through the corner of my eye and my face heats up again.

"What, did you say something?"

Savio asked tilting his head slightly, shaking my head I looked away quickly as my face was heating up again.

[I'm not repeating that, no way. I'll be rejected like everyone else if I do.]

"I'm sure he doesn't feel the same anyways, it doesn't matter."

I mumbled, my eyes loosing their life again at the thought. The progress of giving me hope all coming undone, through the corner of my eye I saw Savio looking at me with worry, sadness and another emotion I couldn't place.

"Come, let's take you home. I'll be staying the night again, we can talk more later."

Savio mumbled as he helped me up, I just nodded sadly. Wishing I could do something to cheer him up, I swung my bag onto my shoulder and held his hand cautiously as we headed home.
