"Noelle, how did things go in your end? Everything alright?"
"It's going great, I just talked to my parents and they seemed very happy."
"That's good."
It was the morning of the next day and we were chatting outside the house.
I just wanted to know how things were progressing when compared to the Comic so i ended up asking
"How's Justin Doing? did you talk to him?"
"Huh? Nope, He hasn't even looked at me since he came back. We live next door from each other and yet... He treats me like dust."
"Heh, i see. So you still like him haa?"
"what? S.Sh.. Shut up."
Huh, so you still like him? After all this time? Damn, that's unexpected. Welp it's not really impossible tho since i know very well how it's like to get over someone.
Back in the old world, it took me almost 8 months to get over someone. By the way, she never talked to me after i confessed to her.
I was the definition of air to her. She literally didn't care about my existance, It'd be hard for anyone to believe that we were childhood friends.
She didn't even come visit me when i was on my death bead battling cancer.
Well, nobody was there at the time tho. She wasn't really an exception either.
Haa... Just thinking about it makes me sad.
"I think you should patch things up with him. It's not like he hates you, it's probably because he's awkward around you that he can't look at you."
"There's no way that's the case. That guy probably hates me for doing that."
"Seriously? What's there to hate you for? You just confessed to him that's all. It may be a women's thing to ignore someone and treat them like air after they tell you they like you. But, Men don't do that."
"You serious? Do you really think he wants to talk to me again?"
"obviously, just try it. I'm sure it'll work out somehow."
As we were talking about how she should approach Justin, the door to the next house opened and from there came out Justin
The moment i saw the approaching Justin, i pushed Noelle towards Justin. As she looked at me with shock while losing her balance and falling onto Justin who caught her with precision.
"You Ok?"
He said while holding her in his arms as she blushed, her cheeks red.
"Yes... Thanks."
"No problem."
Welp, he doesn't seem like he hates her. If he did, than he'd have easily avoided her making her fall in the dirt.
"You... What the hell was that for? Are you insane? If i'd fallen in that dirt my clothes woukd have veen dirty you know."
I got close to her and whispered in her ear. as i got closer to her i realised Her ears got a bit red.
"You know, He didn't avoid you but he caught you so you wouldn't fall in the dirt."
"He's a fkin nice guy, he'd even do that to his worst enemy."
"Are you sure about that? He helped you, that means he definately doesn't hate you. So why don't you try talking to him. While i take a slight detour."
"Alright Than, I'll try talking to him."
she said with a bit of unease.
"Don't worry, I don't thibk he'll push you away."
I said as i patted her head. Damn reflexes, seeing her look so uneasy, i ended up patting her head.
Fk, that shit only works if you are attractive damn it. His charm is an A and mine is a fkin D.
I should just leave withoutsaying anything.
And so i walked away after saying those words, and all this time Justin was watching us both with a strange expression on his face.
...
I think everything should go well now. They'll probably make up, become friends again and someday he'll fall for her and They'll end up together.
I wonder what this feeling is? It's kinda irritating me. It's reminding me of those awful times back in the old world.
I wonder, if I'll go through the same thing in this world too.
Now that he's gotten closer to her he'll probably join the Club and slowly take over which will mean I'll be sidelined and become the side character that i am.
I don't know if i feel uneasy about him becoming the centre of attention again but it's just that, just the thought of going back to being a worthless nobody again scares me.
But, it's kinda inevitable at this point. It's better to push myslef out of their lives rather than them kicking me out no.
It'll probably hurt less. It's not like I'm going to leave the club because that's the only place where i can survive.
I'll just suggest him to become the president after a certain time pass and he becomes close enough with him.
That way, they wouldn't have to make the first step of pulling me out of the position nor will i get hurt over being ostracized.
I know for a fact that it'll happen, not becaise i think they are bad people but because i know my flaws.
No matter how friendly i was with people, at the end of the day they always Ignored and discarded me after a certain amount of time.
The only people who did stay were people who loved belittling me. I ain't really sure what i do wrong but i know for a fact that
No matter what i do, I can never make people like me.
It's the same for all those people too, Noelle's only talking to me because she's depressed over Justin, Fey doesn't really like me. Amber only talks to me because i helped her out, so it's kind of an obligation for her.
In the end, None of the really talked to me out of their own accord. They only talked to me because i helped them out, or they were too depressed.
And, the person who i didnt help out in any way clearly hates me.
That's why, before they stop feeling Obligated or they end up Getting through their feelings for someone.
I have to voluntarily backoff, If i don't i'm bound to be hurt all over again.
I've taken care of major events and for atleast the enxt year nothing bad should happen and by than they'll all be strong enough to protect themselves.
Instead of being the president, I'll become a scouting Leader, who'll take care of scouting people into the club to make sure that A bad ending doesn't happen.
While i give the presidential role to Justin.
While i become a background character who changes the story from the shadows.
Sounds kinda cool when i say it like that.
