RUMORS - short story [completed]

Chapter 3- from hate to love

We've been hanging out together for the longest time. I enjoy his presence, and he enjoys mine. The more time I spend with him the more I fall for him. Even though we act like a perfect couple in front of others, we still know how to act real in front of each other when we are alone. There's a side of him I never thought I'd see before : a caring, sweet and lovely guy. He helps me out when I don't understand a lesson. I sometimes help him out too. We found out we both had the same interest which is obviously watching anime! We started being way more comfortable around each other. We don't call each other names anymore like we used to a few weeks ago.
We started walking together to school every morning, and we still go back to our homes together after school. He started hugging me more. He wouldn't push me away if I hug him. We smile together, we laugh together, we watch anime together, we have lunch together.
The rumors about us dating were still going. We are still "fake" dating but at least we are now really good friends.
------------------
Months later, after falling for each other, we found ourselves together, dating. And this time for real.
We were together, happier than ever.
The rumors stopped after a while, but it wasn't much of a bother since we were actually together.

"Last time I checked, you owed me lunch." He said with a big smirk.
"Hmph. I thought you forgot" I giggled.
"We made a deal!"
"Fine fine! How about after school?" I asked.
"Are you asking me on a date?" He added with a bigger smirk.
"Kind of? Let's go to this new ramen restaurant!"
"We should!"
We both laughed. We considered it as a date. We went on dates before and they were all absolutely amazing.

Who would've thought it would ever happen?
Carlos and Mary, the two teenagers who hated each other more than anything.
All i know is that we love each other, and we couldn't be happier.
