I stared at him, realising that tears were leaking out, and I quickly rubbed them off, ignored him and went running from the class.
hiccuping with tears as I go to the only place I mostly go to~the apadoned storage room.
After some time, I ask myself, "What is wrong? Pull your socks up. The next thing I knew, I fell asleep.
I kept falling and falling, endlessly into an abyss. Screaming, crying, and grabbing onto nothingness.
I cholted awake and realised school was about to end, without thinking, I grabbed my bag and left, going home, leaving without telling Moon.
Arriving home, I lock myself in my room, thinking of who to ask for my results, and I am not asking it from Moon, so I decide to ask...
Through gritted teeth, I call Eric, although he's much better than calling Drew."Hello..." "Eric, I wanted to ask...umm, well,"
"You mean the results, right? Well, you passed, of course, what else?"Eric said
" I mean, which position?" Hating how it sounds on my lips. But he hung up.
If Drew is higher than me... I can't lose this bet, I don't wanna be his follower for the rest of high school. Just then, a notification pops up. I look closer, to my shock, it's a message from Drew.
" Join me in the library, our bet..."
When I reached there, it was empty. I tried to hide my disappointment, what if this is a prank, because I know they will try to embarrass me for my past attraction towards him.
"Masha, you came early," Drew halted in front of me with snacks in his hands, "everything okay?" He asks, "I'm fine," then I walk over to the nearest table and sit down.
" So..." And then he chuckles. " Well, I'm surprised, but we both are in the same position."
I flinch but keep myself composed, "Okay, and..."
"Congrats, Angel, that makes us equal," I swear I can feel myself turning red.
He pushes a cup of hot chocolate towards me, "I know how much you like this, drink it."
How much does he know of me? Seeing my confusion, he says, "You always used to tell me how much you like it." I thank him and stand up, "wait!" Ummh, what?
"Next week is the vote for the council, will you be there?" I remember when I became the secretary, it was the most stressful, and of course, Drew was the president and Eric was the vice president." No, I won't take part in it and thank you for the drink." With that, I left.
Later that night, as I lay in my bed, I thought back to the reason why I'm not immune to compliments. I can't show this weakness to these people; I have to build up my walls high. Then I soon drift off to sleep.
