Holding out my hand, it landed on my hand, removing the letter from its legs, I gasped seeing the sender
"Ooh my goodness, she finally noticed me" it read
"Hello Marcus it's me Merinder, I hope to see you at the party this time"
I couldn't believe she hoped to see me tonight, looking outside, the sky had almost turned pitch black signaling the party was about to start, at that moment I forgot all about my looks, pulling out my clothes case I picked my favorite clothes as I found it to be more beautiful than any other, it was a jet black coat with black trousers with an inner blue shirt
I was thrilled, nervous, and overwhelmed as I washed up for the party after I finished wearing my clothes, the party had already started, and excited, I jumped on Aga and we flew directly to the town square where the party was being held, and whoa the place was packed, I began to feel nervous as I looked at the crowd, afraid, I made Aga land at a narrow empty street not so far from the party
I had to avoid being seen at all costs to not create an uproar, I always wore a hoodie coat, but tonight I didn't so I brought an extra head cover that could cover my face, and thinking about it I was glad I brought it along, getting closer, the crowd made it difficult to find her since they were blocking my view, luckily I found a building long enough to help locate her in the crowd, climbing to its roof, I found her chatting with stash, this usually struck my heart every time but my hope she could care as I care for her was uncompromising at that time, the party had begun as I studied her location climbing down, I walked through the crowd shouldering a few on the way
"Merinda" I called reaching her
"who are....." I removed my hoodie before she could finish her sentence she gasped surprised a little
"Marcus, what are you doing here?"
she asked, what did she mean by that, wasn't she the one who sent the message? no, she had to be the one who sent the message, I tried to convince myself ignoring her question
"I came to see you" I replied
"To see me, why?" she asked in her usual melodious voice
"Because there's something I have been dying to tell you ever since I met you"
I felt like I had to let it out because it's been inside me for a while
"I love you I loved you ever since I met you" she gasped widening her eyes I had let my feelings out I had to tell her I love her and I hoped to wait for her answer but.....
"So what do you feel about me" I asked helplessly
"I'm sorry Marcus but all I have thought of you is a good person and a good friend that's all, I don't feel anything for you I'm sorry"
she said and she meant every word of it my heart shut into pieces at every word she outted, heartbroken, but the question was if she was not the one who sent the message then who was?
