The Witness

André's POV

I sit in my bed thinking about the memory of the last night flooding my mind, I mentally facepalmed as I thought of it. What would she think about me after that.

I ruffled my hair out of embarrassment. “You're such a fool, André” I muttered to my self.

But then, my gaze accidentally shifted in the table beside my bed. I spotted a plastic placed on it. Curiousity piqued, I picked it up and opened it.

I saw loads of chocolate inside and a card with letters written “Get Well Soon <3"

“Is this from her?”  I thought to myself, a smile curve in my lips.

I decided to go on their house and talk Blaire, I wanted to apologize.  I reached their  house and knock on it, I was greeted by her sister Lily who looks surprised to see me. She eventually told me to come in.

“Oh André, are you alright now?” Mrs Wood, rushes towards me from the kitchen.

“Yes auntie! I took some medicine before I came here”

“That's good then.” I nodded at her. She left and continued what she was cooking in the kitchen.

"Where's Blaire?" I asked lily as I settled in couch while she stuff's some cheese snakcs in her mouth watching a television.

"She went somewhere I don't know" She said her eyes fixed on the television.

"Is she with a friend?" I asked.

"She's with that handsome guy, I forgot the name," she sit up in couch and faced me.

I assume the guy she's pertaining to is Kosta.

"Do you know what? My sister's been hanging with him lately while you're gone" Lily said, I furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"Where did they went?" I asked her curiosity evident in my voice.

"Are you interested to know?" She asked, with her sheepish smile teasing me as if she knows I get jealous when other boys talks to Blaire

I continued the conversation with Lily, trying to act natural and hide the madness I'm feeling, "Well, I mean, I guess I'm just curious to know where they went. It's not like I'm jealous or anything."

Lily chuckled, giving me a knowing look, "Oh, come on, I've seen the way you two act around each other. It's pretty obvious you care about her."

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, "Well, yeah, we're friends... close friends."

Lily raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying my attempt at nonchalance. "Sure, just friends. Anyway my sister mentioned that she's going to the downtown, that's where they probably went."

I tried to act nonchalant, but a pang of jealousy tugged at my chest. "is that so?"

Lily shrugged, "Yeah."

I nodded, trying to play it cool.

Lily smirked, leaning in a little, "You know, you could always try to win her over if you're really interested."

I stammered, feeling a bit caught off guard, "I-I'm not... I mean, we're friends, and I just want her to be happy."

Lily chuckled again, patting my arm, "Relax, I'm just teasing you. But seriously, maybe you should work things out"

"We're just friends, nothing more," I said, avoiding Lily's gaze.

Just then, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it's my father. "I gotta go"
