Chapter 8: Truthfully...I Can Tell You That I Love You
The next few days passed in silence, as Tokiya tried to come up with a plan, while Aurora avoided him. It was annoying him to no end that she was ignoring him like he just wasn't there.
I can't take this much longer, he thought to himself in frustration as he stared at Aurora, who was right at this moment wasn't even paying any attention to him, and he HATED it!
Yet he went through the rest of the day without anything going wrong.
Still, the silence felt good, but it was killing him to not to hear her voice. What in the heck was he thinking?
"Alright, it comes down to either I do, or I don't," he said to himself as he walked down the hall.
And now he knew that he truthfully loved her...literally. But there was just one problem: how was he going to confess to Aurora that he loved her?
He smirked as a plan formed in his mind. I'm not going to her; she's coming to me...
And that was when he put his plan into action. Leaving small clues for her around the school, but most of them were scattered around the library, which was her favorite place to be.
The latest note led her to the secluded courtyard behind the school.
He was there waiting for her, with a smile on his face.
"So I see you followed my notes," he said in fake surprise.
"Get to the point Tokiya," she answered in a cold voice.
By this time, the whole student body was watching, but Cassandra got the front row seat as she hid behind one of the trees that were planted in the courtyard.
"Why do you have to be so cold?" He asked as he walked up right in front of her.
"You should know Tokiya," she answered, but he heard the cold edge in her voice, and he finally figured it out.
"Is it because you don't want me to know how you feel?" He wondered as he made her look at him.
She didn't answer. Cassandra smiled, because she knew the truth.
"You're as cold as ice," he said as she looked away.
Tokiya just about had enough of her avoiding him. So without hesitating, he kissed her.
Aurora smiled as everything fell into place, because she realized that it was worth loving someone cold as ice.
