short story

" Hey, ... You ok?" He asked bending lower. 

" ... Yeah." I answered. I didn't bother looking back at him. 

" seriously. What's up? Tell me." He harassed me into telling me and wouldn't leave me alone. 

" I think I need to be alone." I grabbed my bag and left. 

 

I couldn't bear to see his face no longer. It's hurts to see him because I like him so much. I'm afraid that one day I'll cry in front of him all because of my feelings for him. I could be crying for that reason and that reason only. But sadly it's much more than that. And that's what hurts. 

 

" Mom, can you come pick me up? I'm at the nurses office." I sobbed through the phone. 

" Alright honey. " she hung up. 

 

I sat in the nurses office for awhile before my mom came to pick me up. She tried asking me what wrong and I just said I'm think I'm coming down with a fever. I took a couple of pills to get my mind off of him. I layer there cold not bothering to put the blanket over me. 

 

I get a message from him. 

 

Him: hey, u ok? 

Me: yeah , I'm fine :) 

Him: then why did you walk away from me? 

Me: it's nothing. I just came down with a fever is all. 

Him: ok. I'm glad your fine . 

Me: can I ask you something? 

Him: yeah, what's up? 

 

I paused. My eyes became hotter by the second and my mouth quivered. 

 

Me: what do you think of me?...

 

He didn't answer that night at all. My heart was shattered. Was it that weird of a question to ask? 

I knew at that moment , nothing would be the same between us. 

 

The next day rolls by. I decide to attend school without any contact from him. I get to my locker to find a note from him saying ' meet me at the flower pike after school' I made an odd face. Whatever he was going to tell me, I wouldn't forget it. 

 

I got to the flower pike but there was no trace of him anywhere. I leaned on the railing and look out onto the view of the flower pool. It was beautiful the way they just floated full of colors as people threw more down. It was a day to celebrate love. Yes, it was like Valentine's Day but this was a place where you would throw a flower down onto the pool to represent your love for someone. 

 

I threw one down. 

 

"Who's that for? " it sounded like a male voice. 

 

"Someone who wouldn't understand how I feel," I said. 

I see him throw a red rose which represented love.

 

"That's for someone who wouldn't understand my love for them. " he said close to my ear. 

 

I was getting tired of waiting . I turned around to reveal it was him who had said that. 

 

"What took you so long?" I pouted. 

 

" I was here before you. I was the one waiting. I should be the 

one to ask you that question ." He pointed to me. 

 

" No...why did it take you so long to notice that I like you?" I blurted out. "You didn't notice from the day we met when I couldn't take my eyes off you? Why did you say that it would be weird if you and I were in a relationship? Would it really be weird? Please say something , I need to know how you feel, I don't think 

I can take this any longer..." My tears were pouring and I was embarrassing him. 

 

" Ok look. You want to know how I feel?" He asked. 

 

" Yes I do but at the same time not really." I crossed my arms. 

 

He bent down on one knee . Please tell me he's tying his shoe. " I feel the same way. Will you make me the happiest man and say yes to finally making you mine?" 

 

I couldn't believe what he was doing in front of my eyes. I ran out of breath and choked up and fainted. 

 

It was as if only 5 minutes passed by when I woke up in a hospital bed. " Hey, you're awake. " 

 

"What happen?...What are they doing here?" There was a group of people standing behind him staring at me. 

 

"We're waiting for you to say yes !" They said. 

 

I looked at him who had red eyes and a pouty face as he held the ring in his hand, "Please?" He cutely asked. 

 

Tears welled in my eyes. "Of course I will ." I said bringing him in for a kiss. Everybody cheered ' she said yes!'
