Fuck my life.
It's crazy to think that a couple of days ago I was feeling happy and loved, and now I'm here feeling the complete opposite.
"Hey, you okay?" I nod while blinking away my tears. Ryota has been checking on me every few minutes which is actually very sweet of him.
But the truth is I'm not okay, far from it. I'm sat here watching the person I once held in my arms, now acting as if I didn't exist. He hasn't looked at me once.
But I can tell that he is struggling as well by the bags under his eyes, his messy hair and the fact he is wearing a pair of black joggers with a white shirt instead of his usual black slacks.
He looks hot. But very miserable.
He also wasn't focused at all. He kept zoning out and was unable to stick to one topic which left the class a confused mess. All I want is to give him a hug and tell him I'm here.
But I cant.
He'll be married soon enough, another girl taking what's mine.
And there is nothing I can do about it.
The lesson ended and I expected him to say the usual "Miss Bennett stay behind" but he didn't. Instead, I was met with silence. He sat down while talking to Miss Maye, still avoiding eye contact with me. It felt as if he had just broke my heart all over again.
I'm so stupid. I believed he wouldn't give up on me. I believed I was worthy of his love. I believed him.
"I wouldn't call Romeo And Juliet a romance novel sir...more like tragedy and heart breaking."
"Isn't that what romance is? A tragedy full of heartbreak?"
"Not every romance ends in tragedy."
He was right, I was wrong. Every romance truly does end with tragedy. And I was a fool to think any different.
As I was getting my stuff out of my locker I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. But even without seeing who it is, I know for a fact it isn't him.
"You need to loosen up, you're too stressed Ely." Ryota whispers before placing his head on my shoulder. I smiled but I didn't feel the usual butterflies in my stomach.
God I need to stop comparing people.
I turn around and look up at him, he stared down at me with a small gentle smile.
"Why do you act so scary in front of everyone else?" I ask.
"I am scary."
"Sure." he rolls his eyes which makes me laugh.
"Stop laughing at me." He pouted looking annoyed which only made me laugh harder.
"I said stop." before I could run away he lifts me over his shoulder making me wiggle around.
"Put me down! My skirt!" he pushed my skirt down with his hand so my ass was covered but he still didn't put me down no matter how hard I kicked and smacked him.
"No, i warned you."
I huff, accepting the defeat. I look up to see Jed staring at us but before i could do anything, he walked away. As soon as i stopped laughing Ryota put me down and patted my head, like i'm some dog. "There's a bonfire tonight at a beach nearby, wanna come?"
The beach Jediah and i had our first date on.
"Uhh-"
"Please, i'll make it worth while."
