chapter 2- innocence and purity.

🕊
keanu
i couldn't help but be infatuated with her. her aura was filled with such innocence, such delicacy,

such purity.

the more i was with her, the more
obsessed i became, the more i wanted to be closer to her. was this healthy? why am i acting like this?

solana what did you do to me?

here i was during first period, looking at the teacher completely unamused, yet my mind was running wild. her beautiful eyes were what entranced me. so full of curiosity an-

my train of thought was distracted when the school whore, sanya walked into class late, making her way to her seat in front of mine before turning to me.
"hey keanu, how about you meet me behind the bleachers so i can show you what you're missing?" i looked at her in disgust before glancing at solana.

she seemed...hurt? i don't know why it hurts me to see her like that. i shouldn't feel hurt!
she quickly looked away as we made eye contact, sanya turning away as she realized i wasn't interested.

i need to stop feeling like this.

solana

he's not mine so why do i feel like this? first period came to a end as i packed up, trying my best to refrain from looking at keanu. like the dumbass i am, i wasn't looking where i was going before i bumped into someone.
"s-sorry i didn-" i looked up to see him, looking down at me like a deer in headlights.
"it's okay 'lana, it's my fault"  keanu smiled at me again, but instead of being confused, i weirdly felt safe with him. i didn't realize he was still talking until he pushed one of my loose strands of hair behind my ear, causing my cheeks to heat up rapidly.
"w-what did you say?" i mentally facepalmed as i realized i sounded like a dumbass stuttering.
"i said let's get to maths, i wanna walk with you again. it was....comforting."

keanu

i walked away to avoid the feelings arising in my chest, hearing her lightly jog to my side.

god solana, such innocence.

"so 'lana, what do you like doing out of school?" i asked curiously.
this question led on to us discussing vinyls, music, the unknown and life after death. i never though such a pure soul could think such dark thoughts, it made me more attracted to her in the weirdest of ways. as we walked closer to her class, she gave me a smile that made me feel...safe?
"thank you for walking me to class keanu, i guess i'll see you around?" solana asked as her eyes glistened in such hope.
"yeah, i'll see you around 'lana." my smile faded back to it nonchalant expression as she walked in, not realizing johnny had been watching from the class window.
as i sat in the back of the class, he turned to me with that famous smirk. "so, you and 'lana eh?" with that one sentence, my eyes widened.

"we're just talkin johnny, keep your mind out the gutter" he pat my back as he laughed. "just talkin? reeves, you don't even smile, let alone talk to nobody. what's the change?"

johnny was right, what was the change?

"i guess she's just....different" i sat there lost in thought before the teacher walked in, interrupting johnny from continuing his teasing.

the rest of the day passed peacefully for me, minus sanya's shitty attempts to blow me under the bleachers which i tried my best to ignore time and time again before it was time for the bell to go off. keeping to myself, i walked over to the school bus until i saw her in the back, nodding her head to the music that played through her earphones from her tape recorder. after battling with myself, i sat next to her, which seemed to frighten her for a little bit.
"hey keanu, how was the rest of your day?" she asked as she pulled out an earbud, her attention on me.

and only me.

"boring as usual, how about you 'lana" my focus being on her and only her.
"when you're friends with sanya, your day is always hell on earth" she laughed softly. i started losing thought until she asked "wanna listen? i've been obsessed with always forever all week" i took the free earbud and started listening with her,

just the two of us.

we sat there listening to her tape until it was my stop, a sudden feeling of sadness knowing our time was up for now.

"see you tomorrow reeves." she smiled at me as i smiled back, getting up.

"see you tomorrow melinoe." i waved before making my way off the bus. As i entered my house and laid on my bed, i couldn't help but stare at my ceiling in adoration.

oh how beautiful you are solana.

what are you doing to me?
