MITCHELL
My house was being filled by the presence of the students; but it didn’t feel right without April.
I saw someone enter through the front door. Thinking it was April, I ran up to the person and when I saw their face disappointment ran through my face.
“Nice to see that you’re excited to see me” Misty grinned at me. Honestly, looking at her now makes me think why we ever dated. Maybe it’s just because I was going through a hard time and she was just there, with me and it just kind of happened. I never really had strong feelings for her like she did for me.
“Hi Misty” I smiled back at her half-heartedly.
“So, where’s emo chick?” . I glared at her
“She has a name you know. It’s April”
“Sorry”
I tried getting away from her, but she kept following me. It was really annoying. I wish she could just let go of me and move on to someone that actually wanted her for who she is and not just because of the moment.
“Misty! Stop following me” I yelled, before running into my room.
“Mitchell, why can’t you see that I love you?” Oh no, are those tears I see? I can’t handle girls that cry; especially since I cried in front of this girl, which makes it even harder to leave her alone. She was there for me, so why can’t I do the same for her?
I don’t know how I got myself into this mess, but next thing I know she was all over me. Was she always this strong and desperate? No matter how hard I pushed, she wouldn’t let go.
“Misty… Stop… April might... Walk... In...” It was hard to talk, seeing that her lips were covering mine as I struggled for breath.
“Don’t worry, she won’t mind” she said as she pulled away from me for air.
“I don’t…” the door swung open and I saw her; Standing there.
APRIL
Seeing him on the bed with ‘her’ made me feel empty. Though we weren’t together, I could feel something that I haven’t felt since Danny left. All those compliments Mitchell gave me were a way of trying to break my heart. Well it worked. Just when I was beginning to open up and realize my feelings for him.
“I can explain” he said, pushing Misty (who is smiling) out of the way.
“What? How can you explain something when I already know what it is? I don’t need the details”
“April. Let’s go. Leave them to continue” Daniel was pulling my hand from behind
“I thought I liked you” fighting back the tears. I squeeze Daniel’s hand and walk out of the room.
MITCHELL
It’s only been a week and I’m already chasing after a girl. But then again, this isn’t just ‘a girl’ it’s ‘the girl’. I don’t usually believe in all that love at first sight crap, but with April; she’s the only exception. She fell and I was willing to catch her (literally) but now I dropped her (figuratively). What have I done? I looked everywhere for her, only to find her crying onto Daniel’s arms on the bench a few blocks down.
“April, look, I’m really sorry. I honestly didn't mean for that to happen” when she looked up, her make up was smudged and her hair was untidy but she was still as beautiful as ever.
“For what to happen? Making out with Misty or for making me fall for you”
“I swear she came onto me. I would never hurt you”
“If you had told me that an hour ago I would’ve believed you, but now all I can hear is the voice of a jerk”
“How do I show you that I’m sorry?”
“Jump off a cliff and then I’ll consider forgiving you”
“Done” Maybe if I acted like I was actually going to do it, she might consider changing her mind.
“Okay. Bye” And with that she stood up and left with Daniel, hand in hand.
I was obviously wrong.
