Nevermore

It's a Date

Yeah, so, it's been awhile since I updated. :3 I would love to use school as my excuse, but there really is no excuse for all the times I did have free time, and chose to do nothing productive all day. It's summertime, and I would like to change that, though. So... here it is!

Dedicated to my friend, Brittany, who's an AH-MAY-ZING writer, and updates more often than me, so if you happen to be reading this, make sure to check out her stories!!

*ADRIAN*

"Did you tell her?" Kaden asked me as soon as he saw Anastasia, grabbing her books from her locker. 

"No," I admitted. "I haven't told anybody at school yet, aside from you." 

"You're gonna have to tell her sometime." 

"I know Kaden," but as I watched Anastasia, I realized this would be harder than I thought. 

The truth was that I loved Anastasia more than she knew. Not liked-loved-and with this newfound curse I carried, whatever chance I had with her was gone. What was the point? I was going to die. 

"Now is your chance! Go!" Kaden pushed me, causing me to bump into Anastasia. 

She turned around and smiled at me. "Oh, hey Adrian. I didn't see you there." 

"Hi.." I replied nervously, "um.. Anastasia, I have something to tell you." 

"I'm listening." 

"Well... the truth is... I don't know how to tell you this, but I..." 

"Well, spit it out, Adrian," she teased. 

I took a deep breath. "Anastasia, I have-" Just then, the bell rang signaling first period. 

"Hold that thought, Adrian. I've got to get to class! I'll catch up with you later." She smiled and spun on her heels, heading to her history class. 

"Yeah, I'll catch you later," I mumbled, leaning back and hitting my head against the lockers, sighing. 

"Hey, don't do that," Kaden scolded. "You need all your brain cells." 

I rolled my eyes. "Damn it. I missed my chance again." 

"Just tell her at lunch." 

I sighed. "Come on, we're gonna be late." 

"Oh, shush. It's just math." 

"Math is critical for your future, Kaden. I might not need it anymore, but you still have to do good. You still have to get into college." 

Kaden narrowed his eyes at me. "You're not going to die."

I sighed. "Everyone's going to die, Kaden." 

"But not now. You're not going to die now." 

I looked at Kaden and my expression softened. "Denial." 

"Just shut up! I don't wanna hear you speak anymore! Keep your damn mouth shut, because I don't wanna hear it!" 

"Touchy..." but, with that, I kept my mouth shut. I understood why Kaden would be upset, and part of me was slightly pleased that he cared enough. I know it's selfish, but it feels good to know someone cares about you. One of my greatest fears about dying, is being alone.  Forgotten.
