A/N: Short Gwen x Cody fanfiction. Based off the song "AMa no Jaku," by the Japanese pop group S/Mileage. Gwen's thoughts. Any typos are due to the fact I'm on the family laptop and my baby sister likes to rip off the keys. XD
Thanks for looking!
The other day I heard that Cody kid was moving away, to some place like Utah or whatever.
I've never been so realized in my life! That creepy kid who kept on hitting on me in front of Duncan is going to be gone in just a matter of days!
I'm sooo glad he's leaving.
Yeah…
I mean, he notices everything about me. Even though I don't notice anything about him. It's not like I noticed his new bike; the one he told me he worked hours at the comic shop for. It's not like I notice the dimples in his cheeks when he smiles.
But he notices everything about me.
Like when I got a new hairstyle. Trent or Duncan didn't notice, but Cody managed to notice the change in color and styling. And Cody's not even my friend!
But he thinks I'm interested. He just doesn't understand.
I'm absolutely, absolutely not interested!
When we don't talk, I'm not sad or anything. I'm not. His compliments don't make my skin tingle like Duncan's do, or my heart flutter like Trent's do.
(I swear.)
He's nothing special. Even though he's so kind.
I'm not interested in the least.
Even when he invited me to go to the amusement park, I only said yes because we were going to be on student council together.
(Not because I'm interested.)
I mean, he's super kind to me, sure. He always says that he likes my smile and hair, okay. And he teaches me how to study—like for finals—but that's only because Duncan says studying doesn't lead anywhere, and Trent is always too busy. He protects me, but that is just because he's Cody, and that's how he is!
So I'm absolutely, absolutely not interested.
(I don't even remember his face or that gap-toothed grin.)
Being far away from him doesn't bother me in the least—it is a relief-
-kind of like when I see his smile—
He's moving soon anyway.
I wish he wasn't so kind to me.
Because now I'll have to pretend to cry for him when he leaves.
