Tula's distant lover

Part four: Irene's POV

What? How could that be possible? I could always feel the connection between me and Lyla. Like we had a spark between us. And now she's offering me to go and date some 6th grader I don't even know that well? My heart shattered into a million pieces. This cant be. Not right now. Not today.

LUNCH

I walked into lunch and I saw Lyla. Perfect Lyla. Her with her perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect freckles, perfect humor. Pretty much perfect everything.
I go to sit down with her, but I notice she's talking to someone else.
Emilia.
I could feel my cheeks burning hot with jealousy. I ignored it. Sat down.
''Hey, Lyla,'' I said in an optimistic tone.
''Hey,'' She replied quickly, only glancing over once to take a look at me. She continued her conversation with Emilia as if I wasnt there.
Damn.
