Jonathan's POV
Sometimes I see her glancing at me in class & every time I catch her, she looks away. I miss her so much. I can barely even think straight without her by my side. Even my friends are starting to question the way I act now
Teacher: Jonathan?!
Jonathan: *looks at the teacher* Huh?
Teacher: You good?
Jonathan: Yeah, I'm good.
Teacher: Ok. Can you read the next paragraph for us?
Jonathan: Sure.
A month later
Roman: So.....when you gon talk to her?
Jonathan: I don't know. I've never been like this.
Roman: Aww, true love. *sighs* Makes me wanna puke.
Jonathan: Aren't her and Mikaela talking again?
Roman: Yeah.
Jonathan: First, I'll talk to Mikaela and see why Shanté ghosted me and what says will determine what I should do.
Roman: You think she gon tell you?
Jonathan: Yeah.
Roman: The TRUTH?
Jonathan: What do you mean?
Roman: Mikaela don't want you and Shanté together because she don't trust you. She DID lie about you making Shanté uncomfortable.
Jonathan: ...it won't hurt to try.
Mikaela's house
Mikaela: *opens the door* And you're here why?
Jonathan: Why did Shanté ghost me?
Mikaela: Why did you not care?
Jonathan: I'm respecting her wishes. She said she wanted space and I'm giving her that.
Mikaela: You shoulda sent her a picture of space.
Jonathan: Mikaela, please.
Mikaela: You gotta ask her yourself because she don't tell me anything anymore. But from what I do know about her, she probably ghosted you because she's scared.
Jonathan: Scared of what?
Mikaela: Ask her.
Jonathan: Ok well when she says a "break" does that mean she's going to come back to me?
Mikaela: I don't know.
Jonathan: Can you at least tell me why she wouldn't tell me she loved me?
Mikaela: What do you mean?
Jonathan: She used to say "me too" whenever I told her I love her.
Mikaela: Oh. Well it's kind of a long story.
Jonathan: I got time.
Mikaela: I'll shorten it. It all started in 11th grade.
11th grade flashback
Kevante: I'm in love you.
Shanté: I'm in love with you too. *hugs him*
Kevante: I promise I'll never hurt you.
A few months later
Shanté: I don't feel comfortable just yet.
Kevante: It's fine. I'll wait. Just let me know when you're ready.
