a great mess ✔️

YAR chap.5

Since me and George being a couple openly, my Instagram has been flooded with lots and lots of DM from people that I didn't even know. Some are hatred message saying how I don't deserve him and stuff, but mostly were apologising and congratulating me. I don't know what they congratulate me for though, so I didn't reply to any of those.

Aside from that, my relationship with George has been going strong, really, really strong if I may say. The real George and the made-up George was basically a twin. They really are alike and I can't be happier. I can't believe my dream actually came true and it turns out even much better than I thought it would be.

He treated me like I was a king while I treated him like he was a queen. We helped each other through so many things for the past 11 and a half months. My life has been really, really wonderful since I met him that day, it just got even better when he told me he loves me too back to our 4 months anniversary. I'm not one to celebrate it monthly since it's an anniversary not a period, but George insisted so I fulfil his wishes just like he fulfilled mine.

People at school were also treating me like a normal student now. Although it took George to literally yell to the whole cafeteria to just mind their own business and stop being a dummy with closed mind but a big mouth and more stuff like that, I'm glad that now I can actually be me at school without being judged.

It's just a week left before graduating and I have this big surprise for George. No, I'm not proposing, I'll just give him a promise ring. He gushed to me about his cousin getting a promise ring from her boyfriend and said how cute and overly sweet it was and I thought, 'hey, why not I give him one too?' so here I am right now, in the middle of a jewellery store, looking like a lost puppy.

"Hello there, how can I help you?"

"Oh uh, hi! I was looking for a promise ring, any suggestion?"

"For a girl or a boy?"

"Boy" I timidly said. I expected a disgusted look but she just turned into this overly excited lady with beaming face and everything.

"Come, come! I have lots of great rings!"

She led me to the back of the store, opening a black door that is completely hidden.

"I usually never bring customer here unless they're our regulars or those famous people, but you seem so confused and in love with this boy so Imma gives you nothing but the best. Go look around, I'll grab some and we'll see it from there" She explained with a wide smile. I thanked her with a smile just as wide before doing as told.

The rings are so pretty but not pretty enough as in held a special meaning for a special person like George. I caught a pendant though. It's an infinity symbol, with the word love in the middle of it. But I don't want it to be so normal so maybe I can ask for a custom.

The lady came back to me, holding three different rings in her hand.

"I got these three. Do you like at least one of them? Or have you found the one yet?"

"I got no ring, but I caught a pendant. And I love this one," I said, pointing to the silver ring with a lil heart in the middle of it. The heart has this arrow that said 'promise' on its body.

"Are you going to get both or just one of them?"

"I'll get both, but I need you to custom the pendant, is that okay?"

"Of course it is, son. I usually gonna put you some charge, but I'll rest it in the house"

"You don't have to do that, I can pay more"

"It's fine, you remind me of my son anyway. So, where's that pendant?" She looked even giddier than I am so I led her to the pendant's place.

"You have great taste. What do you want me to do with it?"
