I Didn’t See It Coming
The holidays were over.
I still remember… I used to consider Anas just a friend.I never looked at him that way.Never imagined he would become someone important in my life.
We started talking during the sad, boring days of the break.That's how our online friendship began.And honestly?I had never seen him so open, so free, so close to anyone before.
Little by little…My heart started leaning toward him.Just 1%. Just a small feeling.But it was real.
We shared so many things —random talks, deep secrets, family issues, pain… everything.And not even once… not even once did he say:
"You've been a bad person.""You were toxic.""You had a dark past."
No. He just listened.
He never judged me.And for me, that meant everything.
But then…Holidays ended, and we returned to school.And from the very first moment I saw him walk into class…
My heart started beating fast.
I don't know why…But my eyes kept looking at him.Even when I tried not to.
In class, I tried to talk to him —to smile, to say something,but he ignored me.
Completely.
As if we had never spoken before.As if I didn't exist.
And when I got home that day, I saw his message.
He said:
"Our exams are near now. We can't talk anymore."
Just that.Cold. Straight. No emotions.
And me?I started overthinking, like I always do.
"Was he just passing time?""Was I just someone to talk to when he was bored?"
Even then… my heart wouldn't stop thinking about him.I told Rose he was my crush.She laughed.And ever since, she started teasing me every single day 😭
She'd say my name out loud whenever he was around.Especially during lab practice.I remember once, I passed by him pretending not to care,and Rose stood far away checking the height difference between us 😂(She's such a drama queen.)
Then came the final exams…And once again — holidays.
And then…
One day…I opened my laptop.Casually. Nothing serious.
And there it was.
A message from Anas.
Just like that.After everything.
Not just his name.A real message.
And my heart…stopped.
To Be Continued…hhhhhhhhhhh bye bye
