You know the rules~

☆Story based on a true story (my experience, but I twisted it)

(Both Genders)

-----

You were with your friends. (B/F/N), (F/N), (C/B/F/N), and lastly... (C/N). You five were good friends! You guys pretty much shared everything.

Even your personal things that should be kept private. And even... Your love life. Well~ you're not EXACTLY in a relationship though. Let's just say~, both you and (C/N) avoid each other.

Because. Ever since you guys confessed in front of your friends you liked each ither very much. Your friends started shipping you like there's no tomorrow.

Of course, it grew annoying. But since they bugged you with that same topic everyday at school, everyone in the campus knew what was up between you guys.

If you were with him/her alone, walking down the halls to your lockers. There will always be whispers, or worse... You'll hear more fans.

You, for hating tons of attention and being the hot topic, you started to hate to face these every single day.

Without you guys ackowledging each other. You started to distance yourselves. Both of you didn't get to talk as much as you guys used to before. Although you see him/her in your group of friends, since he's/she's one of your friends, (C/N)'s always distracted with your other friends. Namely, (B/F/N), (F/N) and (C/B/F/N).

You weren't that person who have the nerves to bash in to conversations and try to relate to them. So, you always remain silent in their conversation, and, 'laugh' at some jokes, to look like you're actually in it.

You actually missed (C/N) very much. But you had no chance. If you were had the chance. There will be a random person interrupting your moment to talk to him/her. Resulting of messing up the plan.

It wasn't really new to you. You knew from the very back of your mind that when both of you guys will start a conversation, someone will bash in.

Then now, you wished you have the guts to fight back or bash in... Or something less timid. But you can't.

Everyday. By just looking at him/her everyday while your friends are chatting with him. You couldn't help but... Feel your heartache.

What can I say? You miss him/her very much. And you guys gave each other so much space. It's nothing like compared to the vast, infinite space...

~~~

"Hey (Y/N)!" (F/N) called. You waved at your group, as you slammed your locker door shut and went to them. After reaching there. They started to say hello to you.

Then, they resumed chatting. You reached at them with a fake smile plastered on your face. You stood there like a total idiot. You were like nothing to them but air. Another unimportant thing in their life.

Moments later, you decided to leave. Leaving a moment after was no big proboem to you. Because no one ever notices your disappearance.

You walked to class quietly. Passing by a different person by every step. You sighed and prepared your stuff for first period.

~~~

"Hey (Y/N)!" A familiar voice called out. You turned around as your (Y/E/C) eyes met with his/her (C/E/C) eyes. Then you mumbled "Here we go again" as you let everything fall into place.

(C/N) have finally reached you and said "Hey! So wanna--" then he was interrupted by someone telling him/her to help him/her with his/her project. (C/N) nodded and went with the person.

He/she waved goodbye at you, as you did. Though, you already knew it was going to happen. As if it was a curse. Where something or someone pulls you apart from (C/N).

~~~

"4:30 pm" it states. It was time to go home. You grabbes your backpack and made a beeline for your locker. As you were putting away some of your stuff. You ran as fast as you could back home.

It was finally the start if semester break. So you finally have a break from seeing your friends. Well, it's not like you were always in their conversation anyway.

After reaching your house, your brother,
(Y/B/N), saw your blue face. "What's wrong?" He asked. You nodded sideways, not wanting to make him worry.

Though, you knew that he knew what was up. As he heard you murmur/cry in your room and acknowledged you about it.

You threw your shoes off, and went upstairs with no hesitation, then, you locked your room door and you had your alone time once more. Another time to evaluate everything and question... What have you done wrong? Are you a curse?

The Next Day

You were in your room. Eating your breakfast there with a tub of ice cream on your bed table, and as you ate, you binge watched Youtube the whole morning.

But as you were in your little world. You heard a knock "Sweetie! Someone's here to see you" your mom states. "Thanks mom" you said as you turned off your laptop, fixed your bird nest of a hair. Then, went downstairs.

"Hello, what can I do for you--" then you stopped speaking. After realizing who was infront of you... You finally spoke, but in a shocking and angry way "(C/N)?! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

He/she smiled at you nervously. "I just... Wanted to hang out with you" but you weren't in the mood to talk to anyone, so you decided to slam the door hut right in front of his/her face.

But (C/N) held the door from shutting "Please, I miss you" those simple three words, made you soften up. You had no idea he felt the same way. You sighed and said "Fine. Get in" then he/she smiled brightly you and you lead him to your room.

"Wow, this is... Nice" (C/N) said in awe, gazing at your well-designed room "Thanks" you replied bluntly, but blushed a little. You sat on your bed, quiet, looking somewhere, just not on (C/N).

But upon this, it begins...

"Why do you keep on disappearing?" He/she asked. So, he/she notices? You thought. But you don't want to disappoint him/her, so you just lied "Ah, it's just because I'm always busy with school work. Like assignments, projects and extra works"

(C/N) shook his/her head "You're not as busy as you seem (Y/N)..." he/she said. Your breathing tightened as he/she somewhat caught you lying with his evidences.

"W-well, you're busy! So you don't know things have changed!" you stuttered. "I knew it" the male/female in front of you said. Your eyes opened wide, that he/she finally got it.

"Is it because I'm off with new people? And in the group... You're not included in the topic?" Your crush asks. "N-no! That's not what I meant!" You insisted.

(C/N) forced you to look by grabbing your chin/pulled your collar near to her face. Your face heated up in bright read, making you blush redder than your grandma's red sweater that she gave you.

"Remember. I will never forget you. You are my best friend and my one and only... I'm sorry if I had less time with you" as he removed his hand on your chin/loosened her grip on your collar.

After that happened, you breathed heavily. Your chest rose up and down speedily. But you stopped doing this when (C/N) hugged you. Which comforted you.

Days After

You and (C/N) were talking in the locker room. You guys were in the middle of your conversation when (R/N) (random name) pops is "Hey (C/N)! Please help me!! This is an emergency!!" He/she said as he/she grabbed (C/N)'s wrist, pulling him/her away from you.

(C/N) looked back at you, and you immediately smiled so you won't make him/her worried. But he/she wasn't convinced with your little smile. After that, you ran away somewhere, but you didn't notice that (C/N)'s still looking at you with his/her (C/E/C) orbs locked on you.

4 PM

There, you sat on a bench. Admiring the greenery and the woody plants. You didn't want to go home yet. You just wanted fresh air from the very tight situation you were in for the past few months.

You fidgeted your little fingers as your (Y/H/C) hair danced along with the cooling breeze. When, you felt something warm hugging you. Time froze. Your (Y/E/C) eyes dramatically turned around to your back and found (C/N) hugging you.

"W-what are you doing" you said slightly serious. But your heart pumped adrenaline. "Are you okay (Y/N)?" He/she asked in a concerned way.

Then, you started to close your eyes/cry. "It's just...The space between us. I can't take it anymore. We can't even chat straight because of the people around us. I admit it. I miss you. But I just don't know how I could reach out to you. You're like a popular celebrity, where I am one of your fans and everyone else are your staff, family and friends... Like a fan. I couldn't reach you."

You closed you eyes even tighter/you stopped a little as you choked on your cry. "I... Miss you. Even if we have the same group of friends. I always feel left out. I'm always out in the cold. I tried to join in with you. But I couldn't. I am scared of all judgements. Especially all the shipping. I'm tired of it (C/N)... I'M TIRED OF IT!!"

Then your eyes fluttered open softly/your cries went a little silent "Why didn't you do anything if you knew something (C/N)..."

(C/N) then sat beside you in the bench "I... Felt the same way. I missed you very much. And like you. I'm scared of the judgements, rumors and everything that will put us on the hot topic for the day. I'm sorry if I keep on leaving you. I wanted to try to stop it, but... Y'know. They'll start judging me and shipping"

He/she sighed "Sometimes. I wished we never told anyone we liked each other on the first place. But I want the people to know that I like you. And soon, you'll be mine... I want the whole world to know that. But I never knew this would happen"

After hearing upon this, a little smile played on your lips, as you hugged him/her. "I'm sorry too (C/N)... I should've been braver for you... I promise. I will make you proud"

After that talk. You two decided to stay at the bench a little longer, as you guys enjoyed each other's company in silence while holding each other hand-by-hand. You ignored the eyes and the whispers.

Because as long as he's/she's here... Everything's going to be fine.
