C. Ian

It's been two weeks since the whole incident, I'm at school right  now, in the cafeteria, stealing glances at Misha and avoiding his eyes at the same time.

I've been avoiding him the whole time, yet I couldn't help myself today for some reason.

Claire is right next to me, pretending that we haven't broken up, and Chris is giving me the stink eye and somehow cuddling with his boyfriend at the same time.

I take a glance at Claire and check her out. She was thin, yet still somehow had the right curves on her, she had curly brown hair, tied in a ponytail, her eyes greyish blue.

She had a passion for the arts, sensitive, amazing and lovable.

She's the perfect girlfriend and she deserves better than me. When we started dating I told myself that I'd slowly fall for her, that was a long time ago, and I still can't feel anything.

And then there's Misha, he has these dull blue that I can't help but drown in, his body was slender, it fit right in my arms, and tousled didn't do his hair justice, it was a mess, but a really nice mess.

I want to wrap my hands around him and kiss him every part of his body for some reason.

Then this who- I mean Felix wrapped his arm around what's mi- I mean Misha and kissed him on the forehead.

I can't help but somehow get angry every time I see him with Misha.

And the worse part is that Misha was actually embarrassed and acting cut- stupid. He was being stupid.

Maybe I'm the one being stupid.

Claire nudged me on the shoulder and said, "We need to talk, Ian."

"What do you wanna talk about, sweetie?"

I'm playing dumb, of course I know what she wants to talk about, if we leave now I won't get to keep an eye on the bastard trying to get in Misha's pants.

"In private. Come on." She stood up and I sighed, I guess we're doing this.

I followed her out of the cafeteria and into the halls, which were actually pretty empty.

She looked around for a bit and finally stopped after making sure no one was eavesdropping on us.

A dull light shone above our heads, illuminating our faces and the lockers around us.

Claire looked uncomfortable, and she has every right to be, we haven't really talked much the past few days.

She stared me dead in the eye and smiled, is she about to kill me?

"Look, Ian, I think we should break up. For good this time."

"What does that even mean, Claire?" I knew this was coming, but it's still hard.

"Ian. We've broken up more than three times already, we need to open our eyes, this relationship isn't working anymore, maybe it never worked at all."

I know she's right, but I still can't help feel hurt by her words, I sighed and hugged her, I think we both need this right now.

"I knew that too. But I guess I was too scared to ruin our friendship."

"You're so sweet, you know, Ian?" She rests her head on my shoulder.

"Let's be friends."

"Are you quoting a song?"

"Was I? Didn't even realise." i played dumb and gave her a playful smile.

"Come on, it's your favourite song, Carly Rae Jepson?" I smile from ear to ear and let go of her.

"I don't know that so~ Let's be friends, and never speak again!" I broke out into song and grabbed her hand.

"It's cool, we can just pretend, we're friends!" She danced wildly as we walked to the cafeteria.

"I had a really nice time with you~" She smirked and punched me playfully on the arm.

I can't help but sway my body to the song too.

"I mean, you're sort of a dick sometimes." I poked her on the head and smiled.

"But someone out there surely gonna love a dick."

I suddenly froze right at the entrance of the cafeteria when I saw it and my heart broke.

Misha was making out with Felix while sitting on his lap.

I don't know why, but somehow it felt like somebody stepped on my heart.

Then I felt someone tug my sleeve, "Ian?"

Claire looked at me with concern on her face and I didn't know how to respond.






"Uh- Yeah. Check please?"
