Just Like That [discontinued]

Chapter Two

EDIT 2: THIS IS A HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT WRITING ABT A RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPING and as mentioned I will rewrite this crap once I get the time.

Sorry this is just Winter ranting in the beginning 😂

Truyen is stealing this so imma just hope it's copying all of this (as in they copy it all and then paste it) and say: IT IS A PLAGIARIZING WEBSITE. FIND @AShizTonOfShip on WATTPAD not TRUYEN.

School was awful. I mean, it was expected, but seriously. I would never say it, but part of the reason was Qibli.

He hadn't been hanging out with me in the first week like I thought he would. He had this little group of his, consisting of a few kids named Turtle, Umber, Ostrich, and Tamarin.

And I wasn't a part of it. What was I thinking? Of course I wasn't! A few days later, he started to be more actively around me. He also introduced me to a girl named Moonwatcher Nightfall.

Her best friend, Kinkajou, was an extremely annoying, extremely dumb, and extremely chipper person. She was always happy about something. Like, seriously, can't she not look at a baby, dog, cat, fish, bird, drawing, outfit, or coloring book without going, "Aww, that's so cute!"? It's not that hard!

She also gets excited about ice cream, movies, and worst of all, ships. Who the hell invented the concept of imagining two people as a couple, even if they're only friends, or don't even consider each other acquaintances!?

Well, I hate it most when she talks about real life ships, especially unrealistic ones. Like ones with me in it. Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen. Winterwatcher? Nope. Winterjou? In your dreams. Lynxter? Nada. Qinter...I wish I could say the same.

Every time Kinkajou brings it up at lunch—annoyingly, we sit together— I try to act the same. But every time, I still fear that I stutter, or blush, or drop any hints that I actually wish this impossible hope were a reality. But like I said, impossible.

First off: Who would like me? Everyone says I'm cold, but no one even wants to test that theory!

Second off: he's really popular. I'm just the kid tagging along side him, the one who holds their head high only because if their parents found out they were letting someone trample them, they would flip.

Third off: where would he get the idea? I'm just another one of his friends. Another one of his friends who's a...who's a boy. And the last reason, the one that put a stopper on my heart.

What if he liked me as a friend, but then thought I was too weird, and never talked to me agin, because I like him...no. He wouldn't judge someone like that, not because of who they liked.

Would he? I tried to shake off these negative thoughts as best I could, but they clung like dripping strands of seaweed to my brain.

For the whole day I couldn't concentrate, only managing to scrape by detention by saying I was kept up all night by my racket of a sister. Which was true, seeing as every night she beat me up, dared to by her friends. And she took pleasure in it. But it wasn't enough to avoid the anger of my parents when I came home one time two days later. 

Kinkajou wanted to throw a party for God knows why, and of course I declined. October third and I had to prepare for an upcoming exam in math.

So of course I wasn't tripping over my feet to open the envelope when a rainbow haired girl came bouncing down the halls to give it to me. I stuffed it in my locker and didn't think about it the whole day, only remembering when I went to get my textbooks for the end of the day.

A yellow letter fluttered out of my Algebra book and drifted to the ground. I bent to pick it, and heard a teasing voice behind me.

"That from your boyfriend?" I jerked up, and saw Onyx, the school bully. She was talking about Qibli. That hurt more than she probably realized.
