Hailey rubbed her clammy hands against her pants. She was nervous and she had every right to be, today she was going to tell hunter her feelings. She had taken her damn time getting the courage to! She watched the doors to the band room waiting for Hunter to leave, but part of her didn't want him to. She was so scared of rejection she could hide her feelings till the end of the earth. She watched her friends walk by waving to them as they left. The one part she hated most: waiting. 'What if he doesn't feel the same? I would have ruined our friendship!' I She thought to herself 'NO! I'm not backing up not I can't!
Her thoughts were broken by a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see a Emily "Hey, good luck and don't blow it!" Emily said before patting her twice on her shoulder. Hailey gave her a confused look "How did you k-" She smiled slightly laughing "OH please i know everything, and Val told me." Emily pulled away and started to head the door. "Hey tell me everything about it once you're done!"
Hailey shook her head turning back to the band door and at the right moment to Hunter and some girl (idk who and i don't care!) leaving the band room together. Hailey bit her tongue walking up to them "Hunter...c-can we talk?" she asked her hands beginning to shake. Hunter scratched the back of his head "Um, sure!" He said smiling. The girl looked at hunter, hugged him, and left. Hailey was destroyed. Her heart seemed to jump in her throat and tear swell in her eye. Hunter tilted his head and leaned forward "Hailey are you ok?" She sniffled looking down "Y-yea I'm fine" she said her voice cracking slightly. He took a step closer making her look at him "Are you sure? You don't look ok." She pushed him away heading out the door.
He grabbed her wrist "Hailey! I know you're not fine." He pulled her back, a tear was running down her red face. Hunter took the sleeve of his shirt and wiped her tears. "Hailey...are you listening to me?" She looked at him her with her large blue eyes. "W-who is she?" she said choking on her tears. Hunter gave her a confused look "She's...a friend. Why does it matter?" She pulled away looking in the other direction. "It doesn't matter...Nothing matters anymore" Another tear rolled down her face. "Hailey...I don't understand." She looked at him now with eyes of angry. "Of course you dont! Because you're with her! I thought you cared about me like i care about you!" He opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. "She has known you since July, I've known you since your 6th grade year, and you still don't see it!" He frowned "SEE WHAT!?"
She grabbed the back of her head crying even more. "See that I love you!" The words slipped out of her mouth before she realized what she had just said. She looked up at him both of their eyes meeting, he took a step forward leaning his head in even more. "What are you doing?" she said trying to push him away. "Could you just shut up for a second?" He pressed his lips against hers kissing her softly. After a few seconds she pulled away her face somehow even redder than ever. Then after a few seconds to process what just happened, she grabs Hunter's face and returns the favor by kissing him softly back.
