That girl, Rose... The one sitting at the front next to the handsome man... Talking to him cheerfully...
I've liked her ever since I was a child.
We were childhood friends and we're most of the time together until that dude came into the picture.
A kind hearted man who's about 5'10.
Jet black hair and a face resembling a super model.
A very good body and his communication skills are impeccable.
He just recently transferred to the school and every single women in the class is head over heels for him.
He on the other hand is very much interested in the blonde haired women at the front who is apparently his childhood friend.
Why do I know this?
It's been the buzz of the academy.
2 Drop dead gorgeous women fighting for a handsome man or that should have been the case.
The thing is... This blonde transfer women who is called Alice is friends with my childhood friend Rose.
They have been so close to each other in the past 6 months they have been together that our 12 year friendship might not even mean anything in front of those 2.
In all honesty... I guess our 'friendshim' actually doesn't mean anything to her but... it's understandable...
I Confessed to her and she's really missed about the fact that I liked her.
How could I break her trust type shit.
It took me a while to get used to her ignoring me like we don't even know each other.
But now, I have somewhat come to terms with it.
We are no longer friends and she didn't really ever need me as a friend in her life.
She has far too many such people hanging around her 24/7.
People like me would be in her unread dm's if we weren't childhood friends.
That was the only think keeping me close to a women like her.
Anyway... Since they were so close together... Alice got to know of the truth that my childhood friend Rose liked her childhood friend Frey.
Even his name gives main character wibes lol.
Anyway, that's the gist of it and now that she knows that Rose likes Frey...
"HEY!! Wanna go to the cafeteria together?"
She started a fake relationship with none other than...
"Mhm... Let's go!"
Me.
...
It started around 2 months ago...
She came outta nowhere and started acting friendly with me.
"HEY... You are Ares right? Rose's friend?"
"Well I wouldn't really call myself her friend now."
I Stated self deprecatingly due to my depression.
"Haha... Anyway, I've heard alit of things about you from Rose... if possible would you mind being friends?"
I grew kind of excited when she stated that Rose talked about me and I shouted in excitement
"Rose talks about me? What does she say? Does she miss me?"
I Pathetically screamed as I shook her forward and backwards.
"Haha... No, she... well she says alot of good things about you."
When she stated that I grew excited and asked for more details but I should have known...
That... I was foolish.
At some point we grew closer and suddenly that day came.
It was 10 days ago.
"Hey... will you go out with me?"
She asked somewhat flustered. But, not very pleased.
I was so excited to hear her say that that I didn't even think for a bit of why she would ask that.
"Yes Ofcourse."
Now that I remember correctly... she had a somewhat sad look on her face.
As if she didn't want this.
But I was too excited to notice and quickly accepted her confession.
Now... I have perfectly made enemies out of the 2 most influential people in the academy.
The tall Frey and my childhood friend Rose.
Now Rose looks back at me and treats me like I'm the worse scum in the history of the universe while Frey acts like I'm some kind of villain in his story.
Meanwhile Alice was aware of what was going on but just decided to ignore it and caught my arm as she stated
"So what should we eat today?"
"How about... you go back and have a meal with them? You Don't look so good... are you eating well?"
I asked her.
She looked surprised but still answered.
"You sure are observant... No, money's tight this month so I haven't been eating well these days... would you feed me?"
She asked me.
This women was actually from a poor family of a single mother and had 2 siblings.
To feed her 2 siblings... she would eat less and still manage to somehow look this beautiful.
"Well..m I'm no different from you... I'm pretty broke right now tho... I bought a lunch box of you are alright with that."
"Seriously? Why would I say no to my boyfriend's cooking!!"
She stated as she hugged me tightly.
I Usually get very flustered and my heart races at the speed of light and I try my best to remain calm but deep down I knew...
The more affectionate she was the less she saw me as a man.
Because... everything that's happening right now is but an act and I'm going along with it because...
I Am angry at the bastard that stole my childhood friend.
"So? Where do you wanna sit? Shall we sit on the rooftop or should we sit in the classroom?"
I Enquired her while looking at her.
"Mm... Let's just go to the classroom."
She stated
"Mhm, I'd rather prefer that Atwell... I feel very weak right now."
"Is everything alright?"
She asked me, looking somewhat worried
"Mhm... It's nothing really... I'm at my final stage of LAZINESS."
"PFFT!* Final stage of laziness *Pfft!!*"
She laughed out loud at my stupid joke, I too found the funny side of the joke as I laugher along with her.
IT feels so normal right now...
Why is that?
As we sat next to each other, I placed the 2 lunch boxes next to each other as I gave one to her and took the other.
She took a bite and
"MMHM!! Why are you so good at this!!"
She stated as if she were having the best food of her life.
I was glad she liked my food.
"I'm glad you like it."
I Stated as I smiled at her.
"You know... you got this really cute smile when you do it genuinely."
"Haha... thanks for the compliment I guess."
"I'm really glad... I chose you as my 'fake' boyfriend."
Yup... she stated it the very day of the confession.
When everyone got to know of our relationship the first one to talk about it was none other than my childhood friend.
"Why are you dating that good for nothing?"
The first thing she asked was enough to shatter my tiny heart into a million pieces, it was also the remark that made me completely blacklist her out of my heart.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't lie to me Alice... I and everyone else here also knows that you like Frey and he likes you back."
"What gave you that idea? I Seriously do not like him."
She replied coldly.
"Please for my sake... Just tell me the truth... why? You could go out with anyone so why chose him? I know there must be a reason right? Did he blackmail you? No... That's not-"
"Why can't I like a guy that I like?"
She simply asked...
It was probably than that.. my heart skipped a beat for someone other than Rose.
That was when I realised that I might have started liking her.
"Rose... I know you like Frey... I heard you bashing that bitch Amelia for trash talking Frey behind his back... I've never seen you do that to Ares THere have been 100's of people who trash talk Ares on a daily basis but I've never heard you say anything to them or get angry at them"
It was than... that I confronted her and asked her if she actually liked me.
She answered albeit bitterly.
"I'm sorry I fooled you... It's true that I like Frey, I've liked him since my childhood days but... I don't want to claim him at the expense of Rose."
Was her reply and since than we have been maintaining this fake relationship shenanigans.
Waiting for the time when Frey falls in love with Rose and forgets about Alice.
I knew deep down... that Alice still liked Frey and I also knew the feelings that were brewing inside me slowly descend.
I Know that Frey won't stop liking Aluce and I also know that Rose will dispise me the more I stay with Alice.
And I also know that Alice won't go to their group willingly until she snaps out of her foolish utopia where nobody precious to her gets hurt.
And I also know that at some point she too will abandon me like Alice did and get over her foolish sacrificial self and go back to embrace Frey stating her undying love for him.
And I... I'll be all alone again like those 4 months I spent in absolute solitude.
With a broken heart yet again.
Having no shoulder to cry on...
YET AGAIN...
All alone, crying in solitude.
