Chapter 6- Gray: My Pain

I went past the hallway looking for Claire. Where'd she go? Was she absent? I miss her.

I headed straight to the classroom, as I sat down, her blonde straight hair flipped across my eyes, She was the most beautiful person I've ever seen.

"Claire, where'd you go?" I asked her, still worried.

"I was just here the whole time…" she said, relieving my pain, "Waiting for you."

Waiting for me? Why? She… Was waiting for me?

"Oh… Heh, I didn't know that…" I replied, weirdly though.

"Did you study for the test last night?" she replied.

"Yeah, Grandpa helped me though." I inquired, "Did you ask for any help?"

"Yeah." She told me.

"From who?" I asked, "Celia?"

"No. From Cliff." She replied.

"Wha-Why Cliff? I was available at night." I protested.

"No. I—Besides, you were busy." She protested too.

"Y—yeah." I replied, I didn't want to argue with her.

"Morning, Claire." Cliff said as he went in the classroom.

"Oh. Hello, Cliff." She replied as she blushed.

Did something come up? They're acting like a couple. They love each other?! Did something come up while they were studying?!, I thought.

Our first period ended, We had recess.

I saw them both together.

No way!, I thought, again.

It was Friday… they're going out tomorrow.

I heard rumors spreading across the class.

"Hey, Gray, Did you know that Cliff and Claire are going out?" one of my classmates, Marlin said.

"Really? They are?" I asked, pretending that I actually care, really pouring in madness through my vains.

"Yeah. Did you hear, they

kissed!" he replied.

"Oh… Did they?" I asked, seemingly depressed.

It's a rumor anyway, that couldn't be true! I felt curious and wanting to ask Marlin more of the rumors that are spreading.

"Um, is this true?" I asked, relieving my gloom into anger.

Anyway, I was thinking of telling Claire the way I feel. I'll just tell her that when we have our date. Besides, it is later.

"RIIIING!" alarmed the school bell.

Second period's just starting. We all headed up to class. I feel so tired.

My chest was pounding like wildfire that it couldn't slow down. My pulse was getting slower and slower.

Am I going to die?

Suddenly, everything turned…black.

The next thing I knew was that I was lying on a bed in the school Clinic.

"Gray… are you okay?" Claire said, depressed.

"C—Claire!" I said, shaking with nervousness.

"Gray, it's okay. School's finished. Our last period ended," She replied, "I was worried."

"Wh—Why?" I asked, my heart pounding wildly.

"You fainted. You stayed her for almost 4 periods. I missed you." She said, gently through my ear.

I could hear the solemn wind; it was flowing through the open window.

She missed me?! I thought.

"Ah—No need to worry about those stuff. But," I replied to her wondering smile, "Thank you. You actually got worried for me. I couldn't think that anyone could actually care."

"Gray…anything for a best friend." She told me.

My heart began to beat wildly again, like wildfire. I couldn't breathe or do any sudden movements. It's like…something activated through me.

I leaned closer to her, hoping to get a kiss. Instead, she just pushed me back.

"Gray, you might fall from your bed." She joked.

I thought that she didn't want me to kiss her. But, instead, she cared about me even more.

I tried once more to steal a kiss from her, hoping to try not to fall. She started to get closer to me, I… couldn't say a word.

I closed my eyes relieving me from my pain; it soared through my veins, making my pulse pound faster and faster unlike a while ago.

That kiss was one like I've never felt before, one that came…from the right person.

The kiss lasted long and unspeakable, I couldn't imagine us doing that again… it was too amazing.

I closed my eyes for a moment… she was still there.
