Looking at it made me miss him even more.

I sigh.

When will this aching silence between us ever end?

I miss him.

With a heavy heart, I grabbed my uniform skirt and Jay's jersey shirt as I went to change.

-

I just finished changing and drying up my hair so I headed for the school gates, dragging my feet as I go.

Now getting physically and mentally exhausted after today's events.

"Wearing my jersey, I see"

I heard a familiar voice. A voice that belonged to the man close to my heart.

I turned my head and saw how he was leaning at the school's building. His hands in his pockets as he did.

"As far as I remember, you said I could keep it" I say as I walked.

I heard his footsteps as he followed me.

"Let me walk you home"

"No, thank you. You should head back to class" my walk speeding up, trying to get away from him.

"I'm not really into science"

I halt at that, looking at him with my eyebrows furrowed.

"We both know science is your favorite subject, Jay"

He stayed silent for a while

"Okay fine it is, but please let me-"

"Then say that you'd do it for anyone? Don't bother Jay, I don't want to feel special" I glared at him before I smiled sarcastically.

I walked once again but stood still as he held onto my forearm.

"Just let me do this one thing" he breathes heavily from him trying to catch up on my stubborn ass.

"And besides, we live in the same neighborhood. It would only make sense"

I sighed heavily. I hate how he has a point

"You're so persistent"

"It can be a charm" he smiles.

His smile. He just smiled at me.

"Okay fine"

I felt how he smiled brighter

"But"

His bright smile slowly faltered.

"You have to stay at least 4 feet away from me" I say, eyeing him.

"Got it"

-

We walked in silence on the way home.
