Ela's POV

I jot down notes as the teacher explains the math problems above. I tried to give it my attention but my mind is else where...

How have you been, Vel?

I hope your doing great with her.

The last time I saw you, you were happy with her.

I hope to see you again like that.

For 3 years I still liked you after all this time.

I could really care more but seeing you being happy is enough.

I can't wait to transfer back...

Timeskip

I see you but you aren't really smiling.

Why?

"You should ask her out. She's single after all."

What?

I thought you're with her?

I hear no rumors...

I see you but am I really seeing you?

---------------------------

The halls were packed as I came to a staircase with no one in it.

Before I plug in my earphones, I heard shuffling around the corner.

That dull look in your eyes...

Why, why?

Why aren't you happy?

What happened?

They gleamed when they saw me.

You stud up and wrapped your arms around me.

"I missed you."

"I'm sorry."

Huh?

Vel's POV

The clock ticks as I stare at my ceiling.

30 minutes before school... I went back to looking at the ceiling.

Everything feels numb...

Maybe, I'm just not meant for romance...

Besides, it will only give pain...

I'm just a hopeless aromantic, huh.

-----------------------------------------

"What?"

"Didn't you hear me? While you were busy crushing on that bitch, Ela seemed to be crushing on you."

"Well, that's useless. It's been 3 years. She probably has some else by now.."

"And besides, you're an aromantic, right?"

"Yup. Sure am!"

What?

WHAT?!

Why am I this blind?

Do I really suck on the love department?

Why?

Wait..

Why am I so involved in this?

Didn't I became an aromantic just to avoid these things?

So why am I infatuated with it?

Ah. It's just my bisexual side coming in...

This feeling will go away soon.

----------------------------------

It didn't go away...

HAHAHAHAAHAH

I thought I would no longer feel this way...

Haven't I gotten a lot of pain all ready?

Then, why...

Why did you to fall in love with me?

No... that's absurd.

Why do I feel this way about you?

No I can't give in...

I-

"You know it's not too late."

"Huh?"

"You've been restricting yourself too much."

"Just go talk to her. Go get her."

....

"Thanks, Kathy."

"Anytime, mate."

-----------------------------------

I sat down at my usual seat.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of pretending.

I'm tired of living up to someone's expectations.

I'm tired of not being me.

The world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows.

Wouldn't that be a pain to be in.

That's why I insist in being like this..

I regret why I used to be this naive and happy go lucky...

I regret why I did like that bitch.

Well, I guess, thanks to that, I'm the person who am I today..

A blurred figure rises into my vision as I snap out of my thoughts.

You're here.

The one who I didn't even look to..

Why am I so dense?

Just why did I have to realize now?

My heart pounds as your expression changes.

Just why-

"I like you too."

A/N

HAAAAAAAAAAAA. Okay now that's out. I'm trying a different style of writing. Things might change though so em yeah-
