A Love Story

Lunchtime

We sit on our usual table to the left near to the exit, they all sit down whilst I go to get my lunch, I return with my usual meal, large water and a small pot of pasta with cheese, to hear laughter. I don't know what happened but every time I come to the table after getting my lunch I always return to laughter, today was no different. I smile and sit with the others. Recently a person has become a regular at sitting with us at lunchtime. Their called Caroline, despite what they believe they are quite innocent, so I have to hold back some of my inappropriate jokes, I think we all do.

I quickly join the conversation and adapt to what we talk about, we range from many subjects, I take a glance at Kit and Amethyst quickly seeing that they look into each others eyes intimately, I smile immediately. Amethyst unexpectedly kisses Kit on the cheek, Kit blushes slightly and they both smile. They bring themselves back to reality and we realise we started to stare at them, since before this I aggressively shipped them together and when they got together the immediate happiness I got was concerning.

I stopped looking and went back to eating my lunch I look up for a second to see both staring at me, I realise what they are doing,

"You can see me eating!" I protest.

"We're just checking.." Amethyst says as Kit nods their head, I finish quickly and pack my things up, rushing, as everyone had already packed up and I'm trying aimlessly to catch up to them.

I stand up quickly still putting my mask on and catch up to them both, as we walk to the playground, there we meet Gabe and his friends, I still am yet to ask their name. I only recently learnt Gabe's name and I felt awkward about asking and ended up having to ask Kit and Amethyst. What can I say I am awaked?

I hang around and sneak glances at Amethyst and Kit, Amethyst once again is hugging Kit this time from behind looking at everyone energetic of course me being the exception. Gabe and his friend run up to Bin which I have started to call my brother, I don't know why, but to me it's entertaining.

The call of the whistle brings annoyance to us all, but these times in Lunch and Break are only meaningful because there limited. We only make the most of them because its not forever. We only sigh as we walk to English, thankfully the last lesson of the day. But we knew that we would only see each other tomorrow, but we knew that we would count the seconds of when we would see each other next. But I knew Amethyst and Kit would count the milliseconds they were apart. I make a glance at them as they walked into the hut, they looked at each other like they had known each other their whole life and all their past lives and they'll know each other in their next lives. Like the universe had sewed their souls together, to forever to be bonded.

I smile to myself, knowing that they finally found each other.
