A Love Square

Chapter 3 Part 2!

Lulu's POV:

True and I stared out the door after the two boys insisted on leaving. We were both confused about what just happened… We tore our eyes away from the door, and at each other. We stared back at the door; the people passing, looking in the direction that we were to see what was worth staring at. We looked back at each other and True was the first one to shatter the confusing silence. "I guess I'll have to go and find out where Jimmy went, and you go find Ryan. Or do you want to switch?" I had the strangest feeling that she knew how I felt about Ryan. But who could've told her. The only people who knew were me myself and I.

I quickly made up what I was going to say to her. "No it's okay, we can switch if you want." I just saved my guts with that one little sentence. Her face was covered with a sudden shock that quickly faded back to her normal perky, confident smile.

"No, I just thought that that's what you wanted to do. And you know that I like Jimmy so I'll go get him." I knew that she liked Jimmy; she was right and True is the type of person that would go see her crush once she got the chance. She got that chance a lot. We did our special handshake 'baby-whoop' really fast. It was a long-time inside-joke of ours. On the snap we started off to Oscar's desk; slowly. I couldn't move too fast or my head would start hurting again.

Oscar looked at my forehead quickly and then at True. He took a double-take back at my head and looked at it in confusion. True took the honors of explaining it to him; emphasizing the fact that Ryan pulled me off. No, I'm not exaggerating. She accelerated her voice and tilted her head looking into Oscars eyes and actually emphasizing that Ryan pulled me off the cart; hitting my head. I barely payed attention, so I didn't know exactly what she said. Hey! I do often pay attention, but I already knew the story of it so there was no need to pay attention. I noticed her giggle, though I'm not so sure what for, and the way she exaggerated Ryan's name.

Oscar didn't know how I hit my head because he was dancing in the break room eating lemon-squares. "Anyways, Ryan's in the break room and Jimmy's in the mail room." Wow shocker. Why would Jimmy be in the mail room? I thought as I made my way to the break room. I halted mid-step as I asked myself mentally: What am I going to say to him…? Just ask Lulu, Just ask.

I looked around the support beam while keeping a safe distance away from it. I had to be careful around these things because of my head injury. The break room was empty besides Ryan and Amanda getting hazelnut coffee with extra foam. She swiftly walked out; not bothering to notice Ryan or me. Ryan was facing away from me, leaning on the table. His body was huddled over something- though I'm not sure what.

I slowly crept in… not wanting to startle him. He tends to get startled an awful lot more than any given person should. "Hey… Ryan…" I walked towards the seat next to him; gesturing to it as if I was silently asking to sit there.

Ryan looked up from what looked like a note card. He seemed shocked; then disappointed. He doesn't want me here… I thought as I swiftly stood up from the table. My face was sure to flush a deep shade of red and my eyes were getting wet. I turned back as something caught my arm. Ryan steered me back to my seat and I sat back down. I looked up at his sorry eyes .They were sorry that he was disappointed. "I want you here. I need to ask you something." I looked back down at the note card. It was gone, probably crumpled up in his right hand; a pencil in the other.

I looked at him, into his deep brown eyes. All I could feel were Oscar's eyes boring into the back of my head so I shifted. Behind the support beam for privacy.

"Listen I need your opinion on something and I need it to be serious. You can't tell anyone until I do… okay?" I nodded in recognition. Before he could speak up, a voice was heard in urgency over the loud-speaker.

"True to the mean lobby… Now please!" Something was going on with True and I was caught between two stories that I needed to figure out.

"Well I have a question first…" Ryan waited. "Why did you run out so quickly? And does it have anything to do with that note in your hand?" He rolled his eyes at my first question as if it was burden to tell the story. Or perhaps that was the question that he was going to answer for me anyways. Though, at the second question he looked up into my eyes. I melted to the ground when he did.

"Well… yes it has everything to do with this note in my hand." His hand unfolded to reveal a crumpled up paper. "Well I wrote this note-"He was interrupted again by a sound we heard all the time.

"What's up Oscar?"

"I just need to give you these papers." We stopped listening to their conversation about papers. At first I think that we both believed that Oscar called True down to spy; but that would be cruel.

"What?" I was unclear of what Ryan was doing with the paper.

He looked at me with weary eyes. He looked uncomfortable with the situation that was going on. He looked around and sat down. He leaned closer and closer to me; about to whisper something in my ear. He gave me the note and I looked down to read it. 'I love you, - Ryan.' The note said. He's giving me a love note! He whispered in my ear something that broke my heart. It wasn't for me after all…

"I'm going to give it to True." My eyes started to water. No, don't give it to True. Give it to ME! I turned around and wiped my eyes so Ryan wouldn't see. When I turned back he was oblivious to my shattered heart. He wanted my opinion. "So, do you think I should do it?" I put on a fake smile and answered the answer I never wanted to.

"Uh… yeah, I-yeah you should. One sec I have to go to the bathroom." I turned away quickly out of the break room. I ran into True who was probably just finishing talking to Oscar.

"Lulu, what's wrong, what happened?" I didn't want to explain. It hurt to think about it. Like she didn't know, either. She probably knew that I liked him and only tricked me into thinking that we could one day be together just to watch me fall.

"Uh… why don't you as-ask R-ry- -Ryan…" I turned and walked off. Passed the receptionist desk; Oscar gave me a lemon square to cheer me up. I walked through the doors of the elevator hearing the last bit of conversation. The one I really didn't need to hear again.

"What kind of letter?" As if she already didn't know.

"The love kind…" My heart collapsed again.

"For who?" Oh stop pretending True

"For… for you." Ryan looked up at True as I dropped to the elevator floor. I huddled to the corner when I saw a glimpse of True's eyes. All left of my heart was the bit that belonged not to me, but to the one out there that actually would love me. Somewhere, I loved him back.

True's POV:

"For me?" I was in complete shock. I looked into the direction of the elevator that closed after seeing a glimpse of Lulu's eyes. She saw me too, but she hated me. I don't know how, but I know why. It was all my fault. I pushed her and Ryan together; Ryan pushed her away and I was the trap. I couldn't blame her. But she needed me.

"Yes for you." Ryan handed me the note he had showed Lulu. There was a tear stain not quite dry on the word 'love'. I almost left when something caught my arm. "True, you don't have to like me back. I understand that but why are you running away?"

"For Lulu. She really really really likes you Ryan. Why can't you see that? I love you too. But like a brother. I have to go see her." I went to Oscar. He- as shocked as I was- read my mind. He handed me what was left of his lemon squares and a tissue box. I smiled at him. "Tell Ryan the whole story, will you?" He looked at Ryan, then me and smiled and nodded.

I walked into the elevator and thought to myself quietly: Boys are stupid.
