2. I still love her...

Days passed and so did the years..

Jaden kept wanting her, missing her, and loving her.

"Hey, we are in the same class this year" Rose heard a familiar voice from behind. "Oh.. yaa..I saw you coming... Hi" she said. "Hi.. how are you?" he asked. "I'm fine, how bout you?" she exclaimed. "Oh..happy to hear" he said that and went. This was Jace. A guy who was with me in my small grades.

School bell rang. We went to our classes. And I saw Jace has taken the table which was infront of mine. I didn't care. I just sat normal. "Oh.. you are here" he said looking straight into my eyes. "Yaa" I exclaimed and took my books as the teacher walked into the class. And after that weird conversation we didn't talk much. After three days things changed. He changed his place and was sitting in a corner staring at me. I didn't get why. While I was writing down my note I suddenly met his eyes. They were staring at me without a blink. I was surprised why all this happens to me all of a sudden. But yet I couldn't think of anything else. "I love you" he said. I thought it was a dream. I thought it wasn't something real but still he murmured "I love you" from his mouth to me. I thought I saw that differently. But when the class was over he came to me and said that again. I got goosebumps. I didn't know what to tell back. I just kept staring at him like a girl from nowhere. " I hope you'll give me an answer by tomorrow" he went saying that. I was really confused, messed up and stressed thinking about this. I had a crush on him too. But how can I say that I love him.

In the next morning he came to me. "What's your answer" he asked. I was staring again. I got goosebumps again. And even without knowing my mouth said "Yes, I love you too". His eyes were glittering with happiness. He leaned down to me and said " I love you too baby". In the next glimpse he's gone. I was blank. I asked myself what I said. I knew him. But not in a way to start a relationship.

Jace was a famous character in the whole school. Even the teachers praise him. And after this thing happened when I get out of my classroom all the guys were like "Oh is that Jace's girlfriend". And meanwhile Jade too got to know about this relationship and he said to his friend " She'll walk on her path but I'll wait for her". His friend nodded.

Me and Jace were both table tennis players. So we stayed after school together. And one day after going to the canteen with him he asked me to come downstairs. I didn't know why. He didn't even tell me why. So I did as he said. The corridor was empty. No one was there. The door of our class room was open and in that I saw Jace standing. So I went inside. "Jace? Why did you call me here?" I asked. He came to me and hugged me so tight. " I love you" he said. My heart was pounding so fast. It was about to come out. I could feel the heat and could smell his perfume really well. And then I patted his back as a response. He took hold of my shoulders and looked in to my eyes. And in the very next second he leaned closer and kissed my lips. I couldn't believe that. I was sweating, my hands were shaking. It was my first kiss on my lips. He knew I wasn't very comfortable with that. So he stopped and hugged again. I went out without saying a word.

Days and months passed. We were not that much happy . We had fights really often. He yells at me everytime. And one day I saw him flirting with Olive. I knew there was something going on with Jace. And one day I went to him, "Jace I don't wanna be with you." I said. " What? Why? Hey see I like you." he said back. "Ya you like me but you don't love me. So be with any girl you like but not me. I don't love you. Don't talk to me again. Bye" I said. He tried to grab me and kiss me again. I slapped his face and went saying "I hate you".

And that horrible year was over.
