(Mailen's POV)
I heard someone calling me, as i turned around, i saw Alvick and Ryu.
Standing together as they must have got something serious. They said me to come closer. I still was stood confused that one of our classmate walked past me to them. It turned out they were asking him to come, not me. And it was ally and mani who actually called me out.
*sighs* im so greatful that it was ally....
I casually walked towards ally when my shoulder bumped into Alvick's shoulder. We looked at each other but there wasn't the same look of love in his eyes. It was wierd.
"Hyy ally!" :i said.
"Heyy, i just called you out to inform you that im going, my driver arived". - ally said.
"Oh alright, go ahead". - i said with a smile.
Soon, my driver arrived too.
(At home)
I messaged Ally.
Ally asks "do you even know who you want anymore?"
I hesitated " i thought i did. But now.... Everything's messy"
I opened alvick's chat. He hasn't messaged all day.
I typed: "heyy." Just one word. One tiny hope.
I stared at it. Then hit backspace. One, two, three… it was gone—just like him today.
The next day, at school.
As i entered the classroom, i spotted Ryu taking seat at my place. There were no one —no alvick, no Ally. Just ryu waiting alone.
Instead of taking the seat next to him, i choosed to sit at the front row —"Mailen!" Ryu called out.
"Dont make this harder then it already is" - i said while placing my bag next to me (without eye contact).
"Why do you keep running when i'm just trying to talk?"
(Back of his mind he still thinks i love him)
Because running is easier than choosing. Because if I stop, I might lose the wrong person. –i said to myself.
I then said nothing, just my mouth closed.
Then i saw alvick standing at the door, staring at us.
('Make this harder'?. Is there something between them? I thought Ryu's the one taking Mailen away from me. It turns out that its Mailen herself choosing to go to him. She chose the front seat. Not next to him… but away from me.So maybe it was never him stealing her. Maybe… she's just walking away on her own.
-alvick thinks)
Ah it's good that i didn't sat beside Ryu and created misunderstandings between me and alvick my loves. The timing was perfect—yess!.
Dear readers, this is how misunderstandings are created when you dont take a look from both point of views.
I replaced my bag to make place for alvick my loves beside me, hoping he would take his seat here. He did came near but then turned to the other direction –leaving my act unanswered.
In frustration, i called Alvick " alvick! What's wrong with you. Why are you behaving this way!? ".
" Isn't this something to be asked by me? " -he replied rudely.
" ofc not! Why would you? It's you, the problem " - i replied angrily.
" wow. Obviously, now i'm even a PROBLEM to you. Ofc why wouldn't i, old people are replaced when new arrives." - he said in a taunting manner.
" huhh? What do you mean? " - i asked annyoed confused.
He was about to reply but Ally arrived.
" Hyyyyyy Maileeenn!!!! I've got a good news !!!!!!! " -Ally said with all her excitement.
Looking at ally, alvick sat back down.
" yess Ally say me! "
" i've finally completed my computer notes which were pending for a month now! " - she says with her innocence.
" oh wow Ally, proud of you " - i jokingly taunted her.
Ally was about to place her bag beside me but Ryu came and asked Ally if he can take her place. I signalled her to say no, but she mistook it.
" Umm.. Sure you can.." -she replied unwantedly.
God please noooooo -my inner voice shouted.
As he sat beside me, i moved a little further. I turned around and saw Alvick staring... With broken eyes.
I couldn't say anything and teacher arrived —"good morning class, today im going to announce your partners for today's group assignment".
" zoe with ally"
"Alvick with kenzo"
"mailen with Ryu"
"Mani with zayn"
-teacher announced.
Ryu gave a smirk while indirectly saying to Alvick– "look,we're meant to be together, forever"
I confused looked at Ryu, then turned to Alvick, both of them were giving their eyes out at me.
