Ever since then, Tom always waited for me downstairs, almost every day.

It made me feel I'm not useless, someone still cares about me, and someone still loves me.

Today he walked with me to the side gate, down the road.

"Here, this is for you," he said, handing out a keychain.

The keychain is just a simple soft fury ball, but I like it very much.

"Oh geez, thanks!" I exclaimed.

He just followed behind me, down the road.

"Uh, so," I said, "You're staying at school today?"
"No, but I'm not in a hurry," Tom replied.

I saw my parents' car a few meters away.

"My mom's car is right in front, bye!" I said and walked fast away.

"Bye, Jane!" he waved at me. I waved back.

I reached home, did my homework, and had a little time to rest.

A message from,
Noah?

"I have a question, are you dating?" he asked.

I was quite surprised he asked this and finally asked this.

"May I ask why you ask this?"
"Well, why is he always waiting for you?" he asked.

Did he mean Tom?

"Who do you mean?" I asked back.
"Stop acting stupid, Jane. You know who it is."

I rolled my eyes. I was asking just to be sure about who he meant. He wouldn't call me stupid back then.

"But I don't know who you mean," I said.

He didn't reply.

"Ohhhh, you meant Tom? Or you meant Sam, my brother? I walk with him these days to the side gate," I continued.

I was not lying at all, indeed Sam walked with me to the side gate in school, but not down the road outside of the school.

"If you say so," Noah replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what I meant, and I don't care if you're dating or not,"

I knew he was just angry.

"Okay, fine," I answered.

I left him there.

After a few hours when I checked back my phone, there were a few messages from him.

"You know like, I was just angry, out of control. It makes me angry whenever I see you with him,"

He still cares for you.
My heart said.

Shut up, he's just trying to have you back.
My mind was impatient.

It's funny how he wanted me to leave him, and now he wants me so badly.

"That's cool," I replied coldly.
"Mhm,"

I will try my best to cut off my feelings for Noah.
