Buying The Ball

Megan's POV

"I told you so. I knew it; Gael is in love with you." Alice said as her eyes got so big when I told her about Gael's confession.

"Yeah, you were right. I can feel it too, Alice, but I tried to ignore all the signs since I couldn't love him back. I don't have the heart to hurt him because I know how much he took good care of us from the very start." I responded.

"Oh, poor Gael, can you at least give him a chance, Megan?" Alice asked, and I could feel the pain in my heart as I shook my head.

"I don't feel anything romantic towards him, Al; all I have for Gael is Philia love. I only love him as a friend." I replied, and she nodded her head.

"Of course, I understand. I felt so worried about you." She said, and I raised my head as I put down my pen on my table.

"And why is that?" I asked, and she weakly smiled at me.
