Spring's P.O.V.
After Raven rejected me last Friday, I pretended that I was okay and told her that nothing is going to change between our friendship.
I told her to just forget about my confession and move on with our lives and when she left my house that's when I poured my real heartache. I cried the whole weekend thinking about her rejection and what hurts the most is that she expects me to treat her as we used to be, when I love her so much but being the martyr that I am and just to stay by her side, I agreed to it.
I woke up this Monday morning with puffy eyes together with bags under my eyes due to lack of sleep and slight depression.
I took a shower to start off the day and wishing it helps lessen my depressing aura.
I went downstairs to eat my breakfast and I saw my parents cuddling in the kitchen, they were surrounded with lovey dovey feelings adding misery to my situation. For once in my life, why can't I be happy like them? I sighed and greeted them and hurriedly ate my breakfast.
While eating my breakfast, I realized that I have no ride to go to school today. Raven usually picks me up but she texted me last saturday that she won't be able to pick me up today because of some excuse but I know that she's just avoiding me due to my confession last friday.
Thank goodness my brother was still here so I just begged him to drive me to school.
When I arrived at school it was already fifteen minutes before classes started. My brother was being a kid and he just had to stop for ice cream resulting in my almost tardiness.
I ran to my first class which is English class which I also have with Raven. I saw her already sitting beside the blonde bimbo that was with her last friday. I slightly frowned, she was the one who said that she wants to continue to be friends with me and now she's ignoring me?
I quickly sat down to our usual spot and ignored the fact that Raven is not acknowledging my existence. The class started and I dozed off thinking about Raven and her wonderful self.
Uggghhh... I'm so pathetic......
Lunch time arrived and I went to the cafeteria to buy some food. Raven and I usually eat together during lunch outside the school beside the tree but it looks like I'm eating alone today. I bought a sandwich and a drink from the lunch lady and made my way outside.
I took a seat under the shade of the tree and ate my lunch while thinking of my next move. Raven is really confusing me. She said that she wants to continue being friends with me and now she's avoiding me like a plague.
The bell rang signalling the end of lunch break. I threw my barely eaten sandwich because I was too distracted to eat.
I went to my first afternoon class to get the day done and over with. The afternoon passed by quickly and I didn't learn a thing at school today because I was contemplating whether to approach Raven and to talk to her about what happened.
I decided to go out of the parking lot and wait for her by her motorbike.
After a few minutes of waiting she arrived together with the same girl that she was with earlier. When she noticed me standing beside her bike she seemed hesitant to approach me but what is she gonna do, wait until I'm gone?
"Hey Raven, can I please talk to you for a moment?"
"S-spring hey sure let's talk......."
She whispered something to the girl beside her and the girl kissed her on the lips, after a minute later the kiss ended and the girl looked at me and rolled her eyes at me and left.
"So Spring, what are we going to talk about?" she awkwardly asked
"Seriously? You asked me that? Come on let's go to your house and we will talk there." I said in a cold tone
"Uhmm.. I don't think that's a good idea..."
"Why? Are your parents home today?" I persistently asked
"Of course not, they are never home but I do-" before she even finished her sentence I cut her off
"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go." I said as I climbed on her bike
She just sighed and unwillingly followed my demand. She hopped on her bike and drove on to her house.
Seriously I was thankful that she drives her motorbike fast, it gives me the excuse to tightly wrap my arms around her waist and to be close to her.
When we reached her house I climbed off her bike and walked to their front door when she opened the door with her keys, I invited myself in and made myself at home. I didn't really care if I was being rude but we seriously have to talk and we won't get anywhere if I stay shy and timid.
I sat down on the couch in the living room while Raven was in the kitchen asking if I would like some drinks. I declined and told her that I would like to get right down to business. She sat down far beside me and stayed quiet.
I changed my sitting position so that I was facing her and started talking.
"So What happened to still wanting to be friends with me?" I asked coldly
"Well I do want to continue our friendship." Raven said avoiding my eyes
"Oh really? Then please explain why you avoided me at school like I have a very contagious deadly disease." I said still facing her
"Well I don't know, you quite shocked me with your spontaneous confession and when I rejected you last friday there was a very sad look in your face and I felt really guilty." she said bowing her head
"I don't need your pity Raven. I told you that it was fine and just forget about what I said." I said in a mad manner
"It's not pity Spring, I did tell you that I love you as a best friend and as your best friend I don't like seeing you get hurt and what makes me hate myself more is that I'm the cause of your pain." she said as she finally looked at me
"Raven you shouldn't blame yourself, it is definitely not your fault that you don't love me as I love you. I might be hurting now but I will eventually move on. I don't want to lose you, you are my bestfriend and I'm okay just staying by your side." I told her as I reached for her and gave her a hug
"I'm really sorry for avoiding you at school and I promise I won't do it again." she said as she kissed my forehead
We talked some more and for the whole night we conversed about our lives and future plans.
After our heart to heart talk, highschool life passed by smoothly between our friendship. However, for my part there is still this constant ache in my chest that signals my undying unrequited love for her but still there's the hapiness you feel when you can be beside the one you love and that's worth the pain.
