~~Teyon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I couldn't believe my ears. My crush found out. I looked around and saw the girl standing behind Bella. I became infuriated and my ears turned to red. "W-what are you taking about Bella?" I managed to get out. My heart started to pound and all I could do was stand there. "Dont act dumb" she said. I look back at my friends and they made it clear that it was none of them due to their facial expressions. I turn back and try to calm down and act cool. "Bella I know your ego is big but come on" I say mockingly. The class fell silent and soon everyone was looking at me. "Wow your getting defensive" she said. I turn to look at Amerial for help but he gave me the "your on your own" look.
I guess if he helped it would make it more true. "Come on now just admit it and I'll leave you alone" she said sarcastically. I eventually caved in due to not wanting and more attention on me. "Fine I do have a crush on you, there you happy?" I said. She looked at me for a few seconds then started to laugh. "Did you even think you had a chance with me? Your not even close to my caliber of popularity. This is cute though. Sorry to hurt your feelings." She said jokingly. I felt a sharp pain in my chest. This isn't the Bella I know. What happened to the kind and sweet angel Bella? Who is this person? Did I really not know her this whole time? The questions began to race through my head as I started to go to my seat. " wow, that was pretty harsh. I guess all those looks was just a fluke." I blurt out. At this point I was done. She mercilessly rejected me in front of my whole class. I didn't feel a bit of guilt or sympathy for her at that moment. The whole class stared at me as I sat down. " excuse me?" She said clearly offended. "You heard me. Do you need me to say it again so everyone else can hear?" I said. She looked at me infuriated and stormed off. I took out my English book and started to do my classwork that was due. "Are you okay?" said Amerial.
"Yeah just a little shocked." I said. But he looked at me with a worried expression. He told me to meet him after school at his place to play some games. I agreed and went on with my day. I was num majority of the time. Like it didn't kick in yet, the realization. I walked to Amerials house with him and greeted his mother. "Hi ma" I said. I call her that since she's basically like my second mother. She gives me a warm smile then gets back to cooking dinner. I go upstairs and take off my bag and coat. I sit in Amerials bed and just stare out the window. I just couldn't wait until archery practice. I was the best on the team and team captain. Archery was a way to help release emotions and communicate. Me and Amerial are on the team. He's co-captain. I gaze at the sunset while Amerial walked in. He was in his pajamas and gave me a pair to change into.
I start to unbutton my shirt and pants. "HEY at least let me turn around first I don't wanna see your pepperoni nipples." said Amerial. I stop and wait for him to turn around then finish getting changed. I sat on the bed and Amerial sat next to me. "Teyon, I know your hurting, and ignoring it will not help. Your not okay and you need to stop bottling up your feelings." said Amerial with a worried tone. I felt my vision start to go blurry and a tear fall down my face. Then I felt a warm embrace. "It's okay to be not okay" said Amerial reassuringly. I began to sob and yelp loud, my heart pouring out all its tears and releasing all its pain. I hugged Amerial tightly and let all my feelings out.
