LOVE IS STRANGE
(A TIGERS CURSE FANFICTION)
ANIK
I lean against the mailbox outside my house and wait for Emma, who has been my best friend for nearly my entire life. I scuff my shoe on the pavement, glancing up every minute to see if she was coming. I glance at my watch. We are going to be late for school if you don't hurry up, I think just as I see her fling open her front door and hastily run down the street to where I was waiting.
'Sorry I'm late,' she mutters, pushing her dark brown hair out of her eyes.
'Your late everyday,' I reply, smirking as we start walking quickly down the street towards the school.
'I know. But I love sleep too much.'
And I love you, I think to myself, because although we have been best friends for fifteen years, I have been in love with her for most of them. She just didn't know it.
Kelsey Hayes Rajaram pushed the curtains apart and watched as her son and Emma walk down the overgrown pathway hand in hand. She smiled when Emma laughed at something Anik says and leaned her head on his shoulder. They are so young; so innocent. Anik gazed down at Emma, an expression on his face Kelsey couldn't place. Happiness, content, pain and regret.
'What do think is going to happen?' she asks her husband as he joined her on the front porch, smiling proudly after his son. Ren glanced down at her, his blue eyes so different from Anik's golden ones. He shrugged, knowing exactly what she meant.
'Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.' Kelsey nodded, thinking back to when she had fallen in love. How wonderful, incredible, exhilarating, confusing and terrifying it had been. Smiling to herself, she knew Anik would experience it someday, maybe more that once. The battle is hard at first, but it is always worth it. Every time. Kelsey looks at Ren and knew she still loved him as much as she did all those years ago, if not more. Love is strange, she thought.
