More Than Friends
...(Min's point of view)...
Her right hand is on the wall behind me and fingers lingering under my chin, speaking to me in a low voice she said, "So, say... Are you going to move from here or not?...".
I went away from the door making a face of an innocent victim. "Come on! I was just teasing you. No need to be all that serious.
Can't help it, you looked quite serious (smiles)."
The person standing tall in front of me with silvery hair is Pearl. She's my friend.... I didn't expected we would become friends in the first place. She is quite and reserved type of girl unlike me.
We've been friends for almost one year.
''Hey Min! Are you daydreaming!??.... It's almost time for our biology class. Miss rose is going to kill us if we're any late, let's go!!!"
"Gosh!!"
Ohh, I might have forgotten about my introduction. My name is Min. As I've told y'all I'm pearl's friend. And, to be honest, I'm not an A grader for sure.
...(In class)...
Min was looking out of the window seemingly lost in her own world that she didn't hear the professor calling out to her. Pearl was her bench partner. She nudged her. That seemed to get her attention. But it was too late, the professor was giving min a death glare and told her to stand out of the class for not being attentive.
...(after class was over)...
Pearl goes up to min. ''Min, what's up with you? You're zoning out frequently today.
Pearl, I want to tell you something. I'm finally in a relationship!''
Oh....''
Pearl's face goes down for a second, but she's quick to recover and smiles.
''What? Aren't you happy for me? Say something don't be silent.
Is that why you were so distract today? (murmurs) Thinking of him all day? Huh...
WAT dit you say? I couldn't hear it.
Ohh, nothing. I just said that IS THAT WHY YOU WERE SO DISTRACT TODAY!? IS IT LOUD ENOUGH!???
Yeah, loud enough for my ears to bleed.''
(laughs together)
''what's your boyfriend's name? (asks gloomily)
His name is Sam. A senior older than me by one year.
Ohh same age as me...
Yeah and he...... ''
Min tells pearl more about her boyfriend. When they met, how they met and more. Without interrupting her she listens attentively. But she knows deep down, the more she hears, the more she feels hurt. Yet she makes her face an unreadable mask of emotion. She's self-aware of her feelings. No one had ever paid her as much attention as min does.
...(Pearl's point of view)...
(Night time at her home)
Min finally got a boyfriend... Does that mean I've to be alone again?.... I'll be back to my alone and lonely life without any friends. But... She looked kind of happy talking about him. I had a heartache when she told me she has a boyfriend.
''She has a boyfriend.....''
clutch her chest tight and cry. ''it hurts!''
She's really kind, cheerful looking and cute. But I know, from inside she's depressed. I don't want to see her getting hurt. I am also jealous because of her boyfriend!! Having these kinds of feelings towards a friend is normal, right? I've never known what true friendship is...
