Chapter 1- Rejection
~Leon~
I walked down the street toward the love of my life's house. It was 5 pm. At this point, she should be practicing her music at about this time. My heart hammered in my chest. I carried my shoulder bag and a huge box of candies I knew she would like.
I tapped on the door slowly but firmly, so anyone inside could hear my knocking. The door swung open slowly.
"Leon? Why are you here?" she asked. Her pink hair swung around in a long braid. I watched every bit of it, like it was choreographed perfectly.
"Uh! Well these are for you!" I stammered and blushed way too much, as I handed her the candies. I felt my cheeks catch on fire. Dang it! They always did that around her! She looked at me and a small laugh escaped her body like perfect music. She took the candies and made a sad face.
"Leon, I don't really like you that way, but thanks! These are my favorite!" she smiled and picked a piece out and turned, bumping the door closed with her hip.
My heart plunged into my stomach. I felt it crumble into a thousand tiny pieces in my chest. I turned on my heel and shuffled away quickly so I could be upset in the privacy of my bedroom.
"Leon! How did the candies work? You look a little green! What's wrong?" SeeU came up beside me and giggled.
"She doesn't like me" I replied in a cranky voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Well I love you so it doesn't matter!" she said, hugging me from the side.
My heart did a cartwheel and I blushed. A new love? Maybe!
