Scars

Section 1

A year later, we've gotten even closer, I'm so glad that I am the one he comes to when feeling depressed and irritated or whatever.
Jaejung and I are still in Class A, he and I study together everyday after school at his house. My mother gets busy sometimes, so I go to Ming's house to have fun with Jaejung, my mother gets worried, though. She calls a lot! I'm glad that she does because it shows me that she really loves me.
I'm still getting bullied like crazy, but not when I'm around Jaejung. One day, he and I decide to take a walk in the park to hang out, we were holding hands, I was so happy! Well....until everyone starts mumbling and staring....

Girl-"Hey, that guy is handsome!"

Girl #2-"I know right! I've never seen someone as perfect!"

Girl-"What're you waiting for? Go talk to him, then!"

Girl #2-"(Giggles) No, he's with a girl already, obviously!"

Girl-"(Laughs, scoffs) Oh, come on! They can't possibly be dating, I mean, look at her and look at him! He's flawless, she's not pretty and too basic!"

Girl #2-"I know! (Laughs) She is nothing compared to me."

They walk away laughing, I can't believe they would say something so mean! I'm not pretty? Does Jaejung think so as well? Is he embarrassed to be seen with me? All of these thoughts suddenly hit me....what if he doesn't like me, even as a friend? All of these thoughts makes me sad.

Jaejung-"(Looks, tilts head) Hey, what's wrong? Those girls back there....did they make you upset?"

Sylvia-"(Pauses, sighs) No....I want to ask you something....am I pretty to you, are you embarrassed to be seen with me, do you not like me?"

Jaejung-"(Stops walking, angrily) Sylvia! You're drop dead gorgeous and if anyone says otherwise, they are wrong! (Grabs Sylvia) Sylvia, look at me! You're gorgeous, I do like you, I love you! (Blushes) As a friend! A really....really....close friend."

He blushes as he says this, why do I want to hold him and stay that way? I look into his eyes and it makes me crave him even more....Why am I craving him? Why...?
