Superman

sidelines

I didn't talk to anyone after that. I didn't tell my mother and my cousin about that.

I think it's amazing how a smile can mask everything you feel inside.

Can you blame me for giving everyone in that incident the cold shoulder?

I was hurt, sad and confused by Lance. But most of all, I felt betrayed. The people I trusted the most, other than my family, lied to me.

The rest of the day in school went by smoothly. I was finally talking to people and tried not to mope. That's because I already made my mind up because of something.

It wasn't until dismissal that the day went from normal to serious.

Anna suddenly said, "You know, we would've helped you confess to him if you just told us."

"It's fine, guys. I'm over it." Lie.

Gabby asked, "Are you sure?"

I smiled half-heartedly at them and lied again, "Yeah, I'm sure. I'm over him."

I saw that they already placed their bags down on the floor and started to do the same when Anna asked, "How long have you loved him?"

They sat down and gestured to me to sit. I was curious about why they were so interested in my one-sided love life. I didn't think that it was that interesting.

Finally, after a few minutes of silence from me, I answered, "Since the day he told me I was his Lois Lane and he was my Superman."

Anna let out an 'Aww' while Bea just looked at me with this thoughtful expression on her face. She was thinking about something.

Then she asked, "Regardless of what he did, the Zoe I know, wouldn't get over her crush and still chase the poor guy."

After she said that, I heard my name being called on the intercom and I stood up, flinging my backpack over my shoulders.

"You want the truth? Fine. I'm still not over my crush on him. I'll never be. But I'm perfectly fine being on the sidelines."

I looked at her and said, "I don't want to love a person who probably won't love me as much as I love him. And I don't want to chase after someone that won't be mine."

so that's the sad truth, guys.

anyways, any suggestions to what Zoe should do to confess to Lance?
