His Crybaby - Bill Kaulitz

Just strange acquaintances

**

Ria's POV

Now what the hell was all that about? I shouldn't have listened but for some reason I still did something I knew I'd regret. He asked me for a dance and for some reason I said yes, It was only supposed to be a dance yet the way he looked at me, that hungry gaze, I froze up. And once he leaned in I nearly let him kiss me. I had to back away and leave, I couldn't do that. Maybe I should've just stayed with Mari instead. That balcony was nice. But then again, staying meant also being stuck with Bill and that was a definite no. I took out my phone and gave
Mari a quick text saying I had to leave and she answered in about a second. Worrying of course, asking if I'm alright so I had to reassure her that I really was okay. I sat on a bench near a park and looked at the sky instead of going home. If I waited a little longer he would've been asleep and then I could go. But for now I just let the warm breeze tickle my skin as I listened the rustling of the leaves.
Mari had been pestering me all morning about my 'supposed' crush on Tom which was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard.

She really mistook my behaviour for me liking him. I just didn't feel like being near him that's all. He'd seen me cry, something even Mari hadn't and heard bits about my home life. I couldn't feel comfortable knowing that he'd seen so much about me. It was a suffocating feeling. But also I just felt strange, whenever I was near him my heart would be at ease and for some reason I always wanted to stay by his side a little longer. It stay by his side a little longer. It was strange, so strange and I hated it. I didn't have a crush nor was I in love, I was just acting a bit out of it. Just hadn't slept enough, yeah that's all.
Mari wrapped her arm around me and looked at me with expectant eyes.
"You sure you don't like someone?" She giggled. "God you're so annoying."
Her grin grew wider and I just wanted to wipe that smug face off her mouth.
"Maybe we should focus on your love life instead." I smiled and Mari gave me a confused look. "You know, you and Bill. What happened to you hating him? Doesn't seem that way to me anymore." She backed away from me and her eyes went wide. I could tell how flustered she'd become and I smirked.

"Me and Bill are not like that! We're barely even friends, just strange acquaintances?" It sounded like Mari became more unsure by the end and I hummed. "Ohhh, I see. Sure, sure." Mari's brows knitted together and she huffed which caused me to chuckle. She was such an easy person to read. She let out a sigh then gave me a soft smile. "It's just nice seeing you like this, you've dated several times before but you never had such a glow when you were with them." Her voice went quiet, "Sometimes I wondered if it all
changed because of E—" "Thanks Mari. Really, but I'm honestly not into anyone right now. Love has never really been my thing." Mari eyed me fora moment and her eyes went droopy. She gave me a slow nod. I let out a sigh and gave her a small smile. "Well, guess who finally got a part time job." Her eyes lit up and she looked at me with a bright smile.
"You got a job? Nice!" "Yup, can't wait to get my money." I smirked and Mari giggled. "Good for you, I'm not even gonna bother applying for jobs," she
sighed. "By the way what job did you get?" "Oh, just the convenience store near that really big hotel." "Ah nice, maybe I'll visit you." She smiled but I bumped her shoulder. "Girl, you'd be distracting. Don't even." She laughed and wrapped her arm around mine as we walked to class together. My first shift would start today after school and hopefully it wouldn't go too badly.
