Nobody's p.o.v
It was Wednesday morning and Mike and Owen were at their lockers "So Mike when are you
Gonna work up the guts to ask Amanda out again". Owen asked turning to Mike with his
Signature smirk on his face, Mike Groaned." I told you Owen Amanda is..." Mike sighed.
"You know I loved Amanda since fifth grade, and I still do but...she just got back Together
with Cameron and I doubt she'll ever love me anyway". Mike Said more to himself than
Owen, it Owen decided to stay quiet then Mikes face saddened even more and Owen noticed
this." What's up Fukanaga , why are you all sad or Sadder". Owen asked worried about His
friend, Mike just sighed again and pointed to the entrance of the school. There was Amanda
and Cameron with Cameron's arm slung around her shoulder. " I'm sorry Mike but I have a
plan If your willing to.." Owen started but then stopped when He saw the annoyed look Mike
gave Him." Ok fine be that way Mike, but Don't come crying to me when you Can't get a
date to the dance this Friday". Owen said as he and Mike turned back to Their lockers.
"We'll I won't, but what about you? you don't have a date". Mike said to Owen , as Owen
put on his signature smirk Again " Actually I do have a date this Year". Owen bragged,
popping his collar." WHAT! WHO!". Mike yelled Surprised and angry, he won't have anyone
to cry with at home the night of the dance, Owen just chuckled "Kelly". Owen said his face
brightening at her name." Kelly, as in Amanda's best friend?". Mike asked In disbelief and
astonishment, I mean I guess no one can blame him she's Turned him down higher than
Einstein can count. Owen simply Nodded his head smiling." Ugh! I am such a loser, even
you have a date This year , no offense". Mike said Slamming his locker, and banging his
Head continuously on his Math Textbook. Owen just gave his best friend a sympathetic look,
suddenly Mike stopped, Owen gave him a questioning look "Amanda's Coming". Mike simply
said, but when Owen looked around he didn't see any sign of her."I think you've finally lost
it". Owen said patting Mike on the shoulder and walking away. Then someone tapped Mike
on the shoulder." Hey Amanda". Mike said in a unenthusiastic tone of voice, turning around
but not looking up. Amanda just gave him a confusing stare" How'd you know it was me and
what's wrong with you?". Amanda asked worried but not at all angry from his rudeness and
slightly harsh greeting. " Nothing is wrong and I knew it was you because...Instincts , I
guess". Mike said as he finally looked up but when he did he soon regretted it, standing
there was not only Amanda but Cameron, but he was keeping himself busy texting on his
phone." Ok...". Amanda said she wasn't the slightest bit convinced and Mike knew it. He
began to walk away when someone put their hand on his shoulder to stop him." Wait
Fukanaga, I have to ask you a question". The person said and Mike immediately recognized
the voice, Cameron. Mike growled and rolled his eyes" My name is Mike, and I'm not doing
any favors for you". Mike said harshly to Cameron, turning back around " Whoa dude what
is your problem?". Cameron said backing up from Mike, wrapping his arm around Amanda's
shoulder in the process, now Mikes anger turned into rage." Do you really wanna know
What my problem is, my problem is YOU and what your doing me, it hurt so much that if I
shoot you right now and kill you , it still wouldn't compare to all the hurt and pain I have".
Mike spat at Cameron, Amanda sat there her mouth slightly a gape." That's what I thought
Mike chuckled darkly and started walking away again. That's when Amanda came out of her
shocked state and ran after Mike leaving Cameron alone. "Mike! Mike!". Amanda yelled
reaching out and grabbing Mikes arm and turning him around. " What is wrong with you,
you had no right to snap at Cameron like that". Amanda said to Mike angrily, Mike stayed
silent. "Mike...Mike...Mike...MIKE IM TALKING TO YOU!". Amanda shouted, Mike looked up
at her with tears running down his face, Amanda gasps in surprise as Mike pulled her into
one of his bone crushing hugs. " Can't...breath". Amanda managed to gasps Out, Mike
loosened his grip but didn't let go." I'm so sorry Amanda, I'm so
so so sorry". Mike whispered in her ear." It's ok Mike, and I'm sorry for shouting at you like
that". Amanda said to him as he let go of her andwiped the tears from his eyes, then he
tried giving her an assurance smile but failed miserably. Amanda sighed "Mike just tell me
what's wrong with you, you can't just keep this inside of you, it's not good for your health".
Amanda said worried about him. Mike just shook his head." Ok at least give me some hints,
just three...please". Mike looked up at her pleading eyes and eventually got lost in her eyes.
" Fine...ok..". Mike said as Amanda jumped up and down in excitement." Ok..Ok..Ok...tell
me". Amanda said as Mike sighed." Ok...well...Amanda, I-I care a-about you, I Hate C-
Cameron, and-and I..." Mike cleared his voice to stop stuttering."And the thing or person
that is hurting me I love but if that thing got taken away from me I would have nothing to
live for, that thing since fifth grade is why I wake up in the morning, why I bother going to
school, and why I'm always all smiles." Mike said smiling at the way she makes him feel.
Amanda stayed quite, Mike figured she was trying to figure his problem out." Well...I'll meet
you at the Dojo after school". Mike said but Amanda stayed silent, and Mike walked off.
