"Come on it would be fun." Chaddick tried to convince his friend.
"If you know me you would know I hate parties." Tedros replied.
Chaddick was about to give up then he got an idea. "Agatha would be there." He smirked.
Tedros blushed a light shade of red. He may or may not have a crush on her.
Tedros is the most popular guy at school. A lot of girls like him for his looks. He hated all of them, execpt for one. Agatha Woods was the girl that he had fallen in love with.
She was the school's introvert. Tedros and Agatha met a year ago.
Tedros was having a hard time. His mother left for another man and his father screamed at him and started hitting him "This is all your fault!" Tedros blamed himself.
News spread fast. His classmates told him "It's fine" but he knew they were faking. No one cared about him in this school. The only person he could trust was Chaddick.
A few weeks after that he saw his mother with a man and a young girl. She looked happy. Tedros realized that she had a daughter with that man. I guess no one does care about me. He thought to himself.
That day after all of his classes he went to the old bridge that was in the forest near the school.
The bridge was over a river that was very deep. There were sharp rocks in the water.
He sat in the edge. His father's words were in his head. He stood up, his right foot left the edge, he was about to jump when someone grabbed his arm and stopped him.
He turned and saw a girl. Short black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. Tedros focused on her eyes, it was filled with fear then she whispered "Don't do it..."
The girl stared at Tedros' blue eyes.
Tedros stood back from the edge and faced her. Tears started forming in his eyes. "H-How did you find me?"
"I followed you. I noticed you were acting strange. I heard about what happened and I...wanted to tell you it wasn't your fault. I was going to tell you after class but when I saw you on the bridge I got scared." She replied.
"Why did you stop me?"
She sighed. "You don't deserve it. Think about your friend, your future. Do you want to die early?"
Tedros shook his head. "What was I thinking?" He stared at the girl and smiled "Thanks." She smiled back.
"I'm Agatha."
"My name's Tedros."
The two started talking and became friends. They would meet at that bridge. Each time they would talk, Tedros started to have feelings for her.
"So are you going?"
Tedros turned to Chaddick. "Agatha hates parties and almost everyone know that."
"I heard she is going to be there." Chaddick said. Tedros sighed. "Fine. If I go will you stop annoying me?"
Chaddick grinned. "Sure."
Tedros walked to the park. On the way he bumped into Agatha. "I-I'm so sorry." Tedros apologized. "It's fine." She replied casually.
Tedros felt his cheeks turning red. "What are you doing here?" Agatha asked.
"Fresh air." He answered sheepishly. "What about you?"
"It's peaceful here and it helps me think." She answered. "Think about what?" Tedros was curious.
Tedros and Agatha sat on the grass near the lake that was in the middle of the park.
"Well...there's this boy that I like and I don't know how to tell him the way I feel." Agatha said her cheeks turning pink.
She already likes someone else.
"Maybe you should face your fear and tell him." Tedros looked a bit sad.
"Hey...you okay?"
Tedros decided to tell her.
"Eversince we met I started to fall in love with you." Tedros finally said it.
Agatha was shocked. "Y-You do?"
Tedros nodded. "I should get going." He was about to leave when.
"I love you too."
Tedros stared at her unable to move. "But you said you li--"
"I was talking about you." Agatha interrupted.
The two just stared at each other in silence.
Agatha stared at Tedros' clear blue eyes. then she leaned in, Tedros did too. Their lips were inches apart-- then they heard someone clapping.
They both pulled away. Tedros turned and saw Chaddick beside a tree, grinning. "Knew it."
