*CHRISTINE P.O.V.*

"So she's the wife.."
.
.
.
Both of them didn't say anything so I just left.
What a great day.
I went to the comfort room because I'm really going to burst from anger. I looked myself at the mirror.
"A highschool girl, Dale.. A highschool girl.."
What was he thinking marrying a girl that young? Is she pregnant? Does her parents knows about this? Is Dale even know what he is doing?
I need to calm down, I know he'll talk to me tomorrow for sure..
.
.
The nex day..
After the class we went to the Cafe shop and he explained everything..
.
.
.
.
.
But still what he did is still wrong. Marrying a 16 year old girl is illegal and she's still not even at the right age. "Christine?-"
"What?" I'm still angry.. "I'm really sorry okay.." I like Dale for almost 2 years and in those years he didn't even notice me. "You know what you did was unacceptable.." I need to convince him to stop this nonsense. "I know..-"
"You know. Then stop this." I don't know what spell or insect or something went inside his head. "Christine I love her.."
"But that's not the right answer. You're a man Dale, you have a 10 years gap, and she's a highschool for God's sake." Why can't he realized that? I'm getting pissed off. "Did you fell in love so hard before?" what is he talking about? "Yes."
"Was there even a time that you felt there was no one to care for you?"
"Dale..-"
"I don't want her to be with someone else. This is the only time I'm going to be selfish to others." I can feel that he don't want to tell me but what's the exact reason? "Still.." She's still young and I know Dale. Even though he's a bit absurd sometimes he's still a good man. "You need to think twice Dale.." he just nodded.
.
Days goes by and it was like always a normal day..
Guys are more stubborn than us, women and it really gives me a headache. The three of us always meet at the school as if nothing happened. I wanted to talk to Yanna personally but Dale told me not to. He said Yanna might think it over and over and it will affect her studies.
.
.
I have a lot of questions in my mind but the one and only question that always repeats was "Why her?"
.
.
Not to brag but there are some guys who really liked me but sad to say the one I like doesn't like me back at all. I thought he was just so focus on his work because he loves it or he has just dreams he wanted to come true that's why he can't feel what I feel about him but the real reason is that he already love someone else.
Did I fell inlove so hard before? I answered yes. I fell inlove 2 years ago and until now it was only a one sided love.
When I'm about to lay on my desk, I caught Lance staring at me and he looked away quickly when he saw me looking at him.
"What are you doing here?"
"H-huh.. Uhm.. I was just looking for.. Dale?"
"He's already in his class.."
"Oh.. Okay.."
"Lance wait!"
I wanted to ask something..
"Hmm?"
"Do you know something about Dale and Yanna?"
Something strange walked between us I guess that the faculty became so quiet and the look of Lance looks like he saw a strange thing in me.
"You Know.." I said.
"Christine I..-"
"Since when?"
I think I'm being left here knowing nothing at all or what is really going on to Dale.
Lance just shook his head.
"If you want, we can have a coffee.."
I'm tired of drinking coffee..
"Your treat and make sure it will be worth it.."
"Well It's still depends on you.."
.
.
.
Guys are really more stubborn.
