Chapter 2 – Love Starts Somewhere

Miriallia walked down the street. The bus stop was just ahead. Yeah, it was the first day of school. She wasn't only bummed because it was school, but also because it meant there were only two weeks before Tolle left.

Yeah, but for the last few days she hadn't talked to him at all. Why? Because he was leaving. Yes, it was stupid, but that's how she was.

Miriallia sighed as the bus rolled in. She climbed up, and was going to her usual spot in the back when she spotted Dearka. He waved to her, and she walked over.

"Hey." She greeted him as she neared. She sat down beside him, and he grinned.

"Hey. You don't look too happy." He commented.

Miriallia sighed again. "Yeah. I only have a couple of weeks before Tolle leaves."

Dearka smiled grimly. "Why are you even dating him?"

Miriallia looked up, shocked. "Because… Because, I … He can't leave because I…"

Dearka glared. "What, love him?"

Miriallia nodded, ashamed. Why couldn't she even say that word herself?

Dearka shook his head, obviously annoyed. "If you really loved him, you'd let him go."

Miriallia was shocked. Then her surprise turned into anger. "What right do you have to tell me this?"

Dearka glared back. "Aren't I your friend? Or do you not keep promises?"

Flashback

Miriallia had just finished showing Dearka the school. They were walking down the halls to the exit when Dearka turned to Miri. "Hey. Can I have your e-mail?"

Miri looked surprised, but quickly recovered. "Um, sure. I mean, we're friends, right?"

Dearka nodded. "Yeah." He stuck out his hand. "And we'll always be friends."

Miriallia smiled at how old-fashioned he seemed, but shook his hand. "I promise."

End Flashback

Miriallia looked at Dearka in annoyance. "I don't need this right now. Please, you're bugging me. I'm not in a particularly good mood right now."

Dearka shrugged. "Okay, whatever you want… Your Highness." He added mockingly.

Miriallia smiled a little.

"What's that I see? A smile? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" Dearka joked.

Miriallia blushed. "Shut up." She told him.

Dearka pretended to be shocked. "That is so hurtful. I'm going to have to crawl into my corner and cry now." Dearka made a crying motion as Miriallia laughed.

Dearka grinned. Hearing her laugh felt so… nice. He was about to say something else when a boy intervened.

"Hello Mir." The voice said.

Miriallia turned at the voice. Her smiled faded. Tolle.

"What were you laughing about?" he asked.

Dearka frowned. Somehow he didn't like the fact this guy was butting into his and Miriallia's conversation. He hoped Miriallia wouldn't tell him they were talking about making her happy because Tolle was making her sad.

"Nothing important. How are you?" Miriallia asked warmly. Even though she looked sad Dearka could still see her eyes were warm with love for Tolle. Love. Ugh.

Wait a minute. Wait a freaking damned minute. Nothing important? Okay, so what they were saying wasn't that important, but… she didn't have to say it to him. Ugh.

Tolle nodded at Dearka as he took his girlfriend's arm in his own. He pulled her close to him and whispered gently, but loud enough so Dearka could hear (oh, he so did that on purpose!)

"Let's go somewhere…private. Just us two."

Miriallia blushed and Tolle grinned. Dearka glared as the two of them left. Man, that guy was rude. And Miriallia didn't even say goodbye to me. She just left with him.

Dearka walked down the hall heatedly. What is that guy's problem? I mean, he's moving. Yeah… he's moving. That means I can have Mirial… Wait, what am I thinking?

Dearka groaned as the bell rang. Why is that guy so… ugh. I can't wait until he leaves. The Mir… I don't like Miriallia, do I? Dearka frowned. Maybe he did.

Author's Notes

Okay, I am so sorry for such a short and horrible chapter. I have not updated this story in a while, and I thought I should. I may edit this chapter later, adding to it, or maybe I'll just get on with the next chapter. Sorry for the horribly long delay, and for such a horrible chapter… But, Please Review. Thank you!
