Her palms turned clammy as she saw two familiar figures walk towards her. A burning anger rose within her and a tangle of feelings recoiled in her heart. Confused-angry-dejected-jealousy? She could not identify those feeling- they were melded into messy shapes.
She swallowed her dignity and faced them almost unwillingly. "Hey! You two really look good together!" She brushed away the creases of her skirt, stood up, and addressed the two with a radiant smile. Too radiant.
"Really?" The girl smiled and hung onto his arm. He met my gaze and looked away, avoiding eye contact with me. A flicker of his feelings went past his eyes. Was it remorse, guilt or annoyance?
Silence
"Hey, we better get going or we'll miss our movie! See you soon!" The girl waved a cheery goodbye, breaking the lapse in our uncomfortable conversation, pulling him along. Our eyes met and i turned away. Guilt.
"See you at school!" I waved and signaled a thumbs up sign. When they left, my upraised hand fell limply to my side, and i sat down heavily, trying to fight back the tears brimming at the corners of my eyes.
confused-angry-jealous-dejected?
