"Sophie, come down here quickly!" my mom called me. I rushed down as she sounded important. She was covered in the curtains from the window. Mom rubbed my temples and said, "We are moving to the city, honey. And I got a job!" She squeezed my hand, "It's going to be wonderful. Better than this dismal place." She pointed outside, "No, it's not. I've got my friends here and I am emotionally attached to this town. Call me crazy, but I don't want to go." I have never seen her quite so passionate about anything. And her job? Something about the service industry. I am a bit hurt. I swear I am not that uncultured. But, leaving this place? Nah, not possible. "The place is nice, but," she whispered, "I have to be honest, I miss your dad." I nodded." I hesitated for a while to leave the house your dad built for us, but we can not live if we are here, I've got a job there and we can pay our bills." I felt her reason reasonable but still, I asked her, "Mom can I and Grandma stay here for a while, maybe until you are settled and fine with your job? Will that be ok? Please...?!" She sighed, "Sweetie, I can't leav-" " If I have my meals on time and call you every day and promise to stay safe...?" She smiled. Yes! I did it. I knew she would be worried about me, So I promised everything she could probably ask me for. As there is still 4 months left in the academic year I could stay here until the end of this semester. And also as Christmas was coming up. I haven't been to school since my father's death. I couldn't. Even Laura and Andrew came to my home with their parents to wish their condolences. But I did nothing but cry. Since then, they came to my house every day and explained to me what happened in the class that day. However, I am going to my school today, after almost a month. I got ready and was prepared to leave the house. Andrew and Laura were waiting for me by my door. I smiled as I looked at them and waved my hands at my mom and grandma, " see you later mom. Bye, grandma!"I went to the school. And on the way to my classroom, I saw Laura coughing, " You alright, baby?" I asked her. "Yeah, Sof, I'm good, it's just the breakfast, I didn't drink much water." I handed her my bottle and asked her to drink the water, she drunk and left for her class, so did Andrew. I entered the class. And the teacher greeted me with a warm smile, "Miss Sophia, good to see you!", Mr Grady welcomed me and gave me a note. I smiled at him, "Thank you." I took the note and took my seat. Mr Grady sat and the class started. I started to read the note. I got to know that I have a new homeroom teacher, Mr Bailey. I frowned and took a deep breath to get back to my studies, " Sophie, are you alright?" I turned my head to see Leo, when he saw me frown, he asked me, "Are you ok, Soph?" I looked at him with red eyes and nodded, "Yes, Yes, I am fine." He's acting like nothing ever happened at all! What's wrong with him? I lost my dad the moment I got into a relationship with him and that's not bothering him? Of Course, I'm not blaming him, but I expect some kind of condolences, right? I turned my head and read the note, " Sir, I have to go to the restroom for a while, I am dizzy," I said, "I am sure that I will be fine." He nodded, "Sure." I get up and I go to the restroom. I go in there and I start to look at the walls. I just needed to escape from that class, a class where Leo is sitting. And I just realised, I didn't have those feelings for him anymore. I didn't truly love him by my heart. It was just an attraction. I thought about it for a while. And later decided, if I have to chose the person to live the rest of my life with, I either chose Andrew or Laura, not My Parents, not my sisters, not Leo. Just these two. That eventually means that I haven't found my love yet. But I keep on thinking about it, I keep on holding on to the idea that I should be finding a boyfriend or I'm going to die or something. Nothing's going to change if I had a boyfriend or if I didn't. So all I can do is wait? Yes. I will wait. Ending these thoughts, I went back to my class and sat down in my seat and spent the rest of the school hours without any weird thoughts. I ate lunch with Laura and Andrew and talked about our most recent class. When the class was over, I walked to the locker as usual. As I was getting my bag from my locker, Leo was standing there, "Look, I did not call you or contact you because I thought it could hurt you more, I'm sorry." "Don't even think about it Leo, we are good now. We can be good friends now." He was surprised. " Wait, we can be friends? You were the one who told me that you liked me and broke up with the girl I loved! What are you saying? " "I'm sorry, I should not have done that, but I realized that my feelings for you were just attraction but now I don't feel them anymore. I'm extremely sorry again." I ran away from there. I didn't dare to look back. I just wanted to be alone. I was tired of seeing him. I was tired of having to answer him. My feelings for him were not permanent. There was no love for him in my heart, only attraction. Anyways I decided to go home and go to my bedroom, I closed the door behind me and sat on my bed.
