"Can I help you?" The office administrator asked as I approached the office front.

"Yeah...Is the principle in?"

"The vice principle is. Go ahead inside." The office administrator said.

I thanked her and went through the door leading inside the office. I went past the waiting area and knocked on the vice principles office door.

"Come on!" She called out.

I opened the door and entered the small room.

"Oh Aphmau. Can I help you with something?" She asked.

"Yeah...can I change my schedule for my first period class?" I asked.

"I can see what I can do but what are your reasons?"

I thought for a quick second before replying, "I have some things going on at home and it has been making it difficult for me to make it to my first class. If I could change it with gym or something...would that be okay?"

The vice principle nodded, "Yeah, I'll inform the your gym and first period teacher. Your schedule will change tomorrow."

I thanked her and left the room. I pumped my fist in a 'heck yeah'! Way. I walked out of the office and headed down the hall to my first class.

Third Pov

For the next few weeks avoiding Aaron had been easy for Aphmau but her heart still ached. She continued to harbor these feelings but to think that she would never act on them made her depressed at night.
****

Aaron's Pov

I couldn't stand another day. I clenched my teeth tightly as I jogged through my neighborhood. Once again I was being avoided but now I know why....

Just when I came to face my feelings I can't even find Aphmau anywhere. I decided that I would confess to her. I know I have feelings for her and I want to return them but it makes it very difficult when she avoids me.

I took a deep breath and slowed my pace. Today is a holiday so school is out. It would be much more difficult to meet her today..

I stopped at the store to get something to drink when I heard a familiar voice near the magazines.

"Has your plan been working?" The owner of the voice was Katelyn.

I poked my head around the corner and there I saw her, Aphmau is right there by the magazines with Katelyn.

"It's....urg..." Aphmau gagged and covered her mouth.

Katelyn's head whipped around and our eyes met. She glared and grabbed Aphmau's shoulders and was about to run.

It's all or nothing! I leaped forward to catch up with them but before I could they had already slipped by me and ran out of the store.

"Arrgg just wait a minute please!" I yelled and ran after them.

I stopped chasing as soon as they ran into the park. I let out an annoyed sigh and sat on one of the many benches.

"Dang it...and I was going to finally say it too." I groaned.

I only want her to know my feelings. I understand if she is scared of rejection but it's still a part of life..not that I was planning on

"I can't believe I fell in love with Aphmau...I don't want to be rejected either but you keep running away..." I muttered to myself as I covered my face in my hands.

I'm an idiot. Who gets all teary eyed over such things?

Just then the sound of grass russling was in front of me. I quickly wiped my eyes and looked up at the petite figure.

My eyes widened as I stared at the girl in front of me. Her hands trembled and her lip quivered as she squeezed the hem of her shirt.

I rose from the bench and everything seemed to stop. My breath, my heart, my life...it all just seemed to freeze.

"I-Is it true...?...You...like me too?" Aphmah whimpered on the verge of tears.

"I do..I love you so much that it's so frustrating. I miss you, all day, every day. When I can see you you run away and I feel so pathetic thinking I can't return your feelings. I really like you Aphmau. I never want to leave you alone." I said with a frustrated but desperate voice.

Aphmau's cheeks turned a bright shade of red and she wiped her eyes. "I love you too!" She yelled.

"I liked you ever since I first saw you but then I started throwing up flowers. It became scary...But now..after I heard what you said earlier the burn in my throat is gone...I no longer have the feeling of petals stuck in my throat.."

I smiled slightly and bit my lip. Darn these dumb feelings. I feel so relieved now. I sniffled and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. It felt as if a weight had just been lifted from my shoulders.

"Wah! A-are you crying!?" Aphmau asked panicked as she grabbed her purse and pulled out tissue.

"I'm not crying! I just have something in my eyes!" I yelled.

Aphmau giggled and walked up to me, removing my hand from my eyes. I could feel my face heat up as soon as Aphmau's lips pressed against mine.

I laughed slightly as I returned her gentle kiss. If Aphmau's love is this sweet I might end up addicted but you know,.....that might not be a bad thing.

-Ahoi hoi My lovely Ender Pearls!! This is not the end yet don't you worry! I will release a few EXTRA chapters before I end this story. On another note:

Sorry for my absence. I am terribly sick at the moment and am just now getting better. My updates might be delayed now that it's somewhat spring..(if only the snow at my house would melt.....T^T..)
But I actually have a partime job at the moment and because of all the sunny weather it has become bussier and I've had to work a lot more. I'll try my best to keep with the updates and thank you all so much for reading! Bye bye my lovely Ender Pearls!!-
