Chapter 1 -:1:Between Classes & Heartbeats
"Is this the last time I'll ask you this—do you like me or not?"
Rei's voice was little uncertain, his was eyes searching mine for an answer. We were sitting side by side on the school bus, just like always, but today its different.
There was a weight in the air
I stayed silent, In my thoughts a chaos occur Did I like him? Did I not?
My heart and mind were at race, a storm starting inside me. For months, he had been a constant in my life, he is around me like a restless moon orbiting earth , always there waiting...And now, he wanted his answer.
"No," the word left my lips , just a whisper
I stood up as the bus came to school entrance , avoiding his gaze, and stepped down onto the land of school . My legs felt heavy, I couldn't quite name. As the bus doors closed behind me, I knew I had just severed a thread connecting us...
one he had been holding onto for six long months.
Six months ago, Rei had walked into my life, and since then, he had never left my side. He was the first boy who had ever given me so much love and attention, the first to make my heart flutter in diffrent ways I Didn't even understand. He was confessing his feelings time and again, always with that same unwavering determination.
