Yoon Sanha Highschool Imagine

9.1

~Zany's POV~

     I unlock the door of the toilet and walk      out. I come face to face with jen, her back to the mirror and arms crossed against her chest. "what?" she raises her eyebrows "what?" i reply back. I get this sinking feeling in my stomach and i really do not want to burst on her right now. "come here" she gives me a look and walks towards me, gives me a big hug, and asks "where have you been? i miss you". i can feel crying again but keeping my tears in, i blurt out "where have i been? what do you ca-re?" my voice breaks but i just glare at her instead of crying out in anger. "i knew something was up. lets go to my place and talk it out" she says, pulling me out of the restroom and i just go on with her.
      We sit on her bed and i tell her about everything that had been bothering me and for once i realise how important communication is. I let out all of my concerns and she listens without interrupting as the knots in my stomachs slowly dissolve into peace. Once im done venting, i realize how light i feel and at the same time, i feel sorry because i had let out the anger of everything i had been bottling up on others without realizing it. "If you told me all of this sooner, i would have realized earlier how i was making u feel. How could i have known when u kept all this to yourself? dumbass.." Jen sighs and i smile apologetically,  "Lets binge a series tonight, what d'ya think?" she smiles brightly as she nods with excited eyes that make me realize maybe everything is not as bad as i felt it was
      "By the way" she looks at me with a smirk, "when did u get close to that guitar guy?" I blush as i say we're not that close and she rolls her eyes telling me to be honest. It feels like once again we're back to the middle school days where we talked and talked for hours on end.

°°°next day°°°

     Im early to class and there isnt anyone inside. i take a seat by the window and look over at the basketball field. "ehm..erm.."- i look around to see a very different Sanha, his hair black and messy, "i.. wanted to talk-to-you about yester..day.." he says, his lips in an apologetic pout. "me too.." i say, standing up, facing him but then turning towards the window "im sorry i over reacted. i took out my frustration on you when it was just.. a project, im-really sorry, i dont know why..i.. "-
   "you dont need to be sorry, you worked hard for it and i totally ruined it. i didnt-mean to do that. i intended the opposite-but-i was absent minded, im sorry. I thought i was pressing send but i wasnt. i didnt realize because i was nervous.. because .." he scratches his neck and turns to the window too "its okay, we can talk to the teacher and-"
"i like you" he says
    He..what?...no.. thats...what? why?.. my mind goes blank and i immediately get butterflies in my stomach. No maybe butterflies is an understatement. i can feel myself getting hot. Did i hear him wrong?
"you like me? why would you like me?" i blurt out.. maybe he is just joking..
  "I .. want us.. i want pointless fights, late night texts, cute pictures of us together. i want to hold your hand, to be sarcastic together, to spill our feelings to each other. i want to be a best friend couple where we can tell each other everything, to be myself around you and have that be okay. but most of all, i wanted the guts to actually say this all to you.."
   He goes red in the face and leans against the window, clutching the sill, the wind blowing his hair everywhere. My heart is thumping louder than it ever did and i feel like ill explode. "Sanha...I.." is all that comes out of my mouth. I like him but never did i ever think he does too.. "you dont have to say anything, I mightve said too much but i just wanted you to know.. " he says and before he disappears from here i take a step of courage id never be able to take if not now "me too" i say and look at my feet like its the first time im seeing them. His head bobs up and he stares at me, surprised. I stare back, oblivious what to do next "i like you too" i whisper, blushing a deep hue of red, an awkward silence settling between us. To break that, i hear a familiar voice from behind us "does that mean you two are dating from now?" Jen giggles like a maniac, inviting every present person's  attention to us. "congrats!" she cheers, and Sanha's hand goes up to cover his mouth as he giggles with her, melting away all the awkwardness and i start laughing too as if its contagious!
