I nervously bit my nails as I waited for you at the entrance of the school. I mustered up the courage to ask you if the rumours were true.

I couldn't concentrate on anything else, all my thoughts consisted of you, you and only you.

And there was nothing I could do about it. Utterly helpless, I needed to ask you.

I needed you to tell me the rumours weren't true.

My voice got stuck in my throat as you slowly approached me. It felt suffocating, I hadn't even said a word yet and you already rendered me at a complete loss for words.

Before you could open your mouth to greet me, I cut you off.

❝ Is it true? ❞ I asked.

You looked at me in confusion.

❝ Are the rumours true? ❞ I croaked, my voice slightly cracking.

Your motionless lips curved into a smug smirk.

❝Yeah, I'm dating a senior. ❞ he said.

Those words made me feel as if the air had been knocked out of my lungs. My worst fear has been confirmed, by none other than you.

But that wasn't the worst part. What you said next made my heart shatter into tiny little pieces, cutting me up with ease.

❝ I think I love her. ❞
