Luzio

The day that everyone except yourself is looking forward to, graduation... Will you never see him again if you graduate?

While some students scribbled on their white uniforms with colored paint, you were busy looking around. When your eyes caught the person you had been looking for all this time, you smiled. There he was, with his handsome face as usual, taking pictures of his friends. His peaceful face gave you peace.

You followed Luzio's steps, when he entered the swimming pool at your school, there he was... capturing you on his camera screen. You looked nervous, but Luzio didn't notice your nervousness and smiled. You took a deep breath, preparing the words you would say to him.

"Luzio... I've something to tell you. I really like you, I've liked you for 3 years, I've done everthing I could for you to notice me. I..." you paused for a moment, your eyes filled with tears. "I've applied to dance club, been in a play, a drum major and even studied harder. But I realized that I shouldn't have been straightforward about my feelings a long time ago. I just want to tell you, that I like you..."

You forced a smile, trying to hold back your tears. You held out a flower that you had decorated from the night before. When he took it, you realized there were a lot of scribbles on his white uniform, what caught your attention was the writing 'Luzio loves Sara'. You froze, your heart aching like it was being stabbed by a thousand needles.

"Sara... and you? Since when?" without hesitation he nodded, making your heart tighten even more.

"A week ago." his answer immediately brought tears to your eyes, clearly you were having trouble controlling your emotions.

"You and Sara are together, what a perfect match! such a cute couple... i wish you both good luck." you forced a laugh, not containing any humor, but tears continued to flow down your face, you were too late. With faltering steps, you turned around and left him.

"Jaelynn..." *he called
