Short Story

            Hi! My another short story.

“Love Letter And Car Accident”

            Brianna is busy studying her notes in Physics when she heard someone comes inside the room. It was Ashe, the high school heartthrob/baseball player/woman hater. He has a looks to kill for. He has fair complexion that matches his brown dreamy eyes, long lashes, thick eye brows, chiseled cheekbones, reddish lip, muscular body because of his favorite sports, and a height that makes him eye catcher.

            She’s been in love with him for almost three years. Apparently, she’s on a one sided love story. Well, maybe because of the way she looks. She has a fair complexion with brown roundy eyes that is always accompanied by thick glasses, long black wavy hair, thin lips and a petite body. She really hates it being a geek because almost all of her classmates friended her just for her brains but she endures it just to help them.

            

            “Hey Ashe.” She greeted but sadly, he didn’t answer even if a small nod.

            She felt a bit of hurt because even if small greeting, he doesn’t want to answer because for all she knew, he hates girls.

            It started when his first love broke up with him just because of another boy. He was depressed for a few weeks but later, moved on and promises not to fall in love again.

            She hates it. She hates why he became a woman hater but she can’t blame him.

            Ashe saw the sad face of Brianna when he didn’t respond to her greeting. For all he knew, she is in love with him. But she can’t entertain it. He’s afraid to fall in love again. He just walks straight to his chair and seated then started studying.

            Even if he’s studying, he wants to tell Brianna that he was sorry. He is attracted to her because she has the most beautiful set of eyes. For almost three years, he’d been stalking her for unknown reason.

            He just closes his book and stared at her secretly. Gladly, they’re the only one inside of the classroom. So, he just wishes that all of his classmates will be late but someone entered the room. In anger, he drops his book and stops looking at Brianna.

            Brianna stares blankly at the clouds. She’s planning how to make Ashe be her friend. She can’t stand that she’ll be graduating in college without making him as her friend. She has a lot of ways but hard to do.

            She can ask her friends but she’s pretty sure that they will tell their other classmates and later on, they would tease her that the geek of the class is in love with a woman hater.

            She hates it. She hates why she can’t find a solution with a simple problem. Maybe, she’ll just graduate without friending him.

            Brianna is eating her lunch when her best friend, Leslie, seated beside her. She’s also a geek like her that’s why they’re close. She has pale complexion with small chinky eyes matching with black contacts, high nose, thin lips, brown pixie cut hair, and petite figure.

            “What?” she asked.

            “Nothing. I’m just happy.” She answered.

            “Happy of what?”

            “Well, Josh asked me out and of course, I said yes”

            “I’m happy for you but why? Why did he ask you? Are you two are friends?” She asked confusedly.

            “Well, at first, no. But I started living some love letters on his locker and later, he caught me and asked me out.” She explained.

            “Because of that? Unbelievable! I mean, maybe because he’s already in love with you.”

            “I dunno. Maybe. Maybe no. The important thing is, we have a date.”

            Brianna can’t sleep later that night. She’s thinking on what Leslie did. Maybe if she’ll make a love letter, Ashe would ask her out too. It’s easy but hard thing to do. Maybe someone would caught her and read the letter. There are a lot of possibilities.

            She just gets her notebook and writes a love letter and put it on an envelope. She’ll try to do it no matter what.

            So, she just returned to her bed and prays that it would turn well tomorrow.

            Brianna keeps on fidgeting. She’s so nervous on what will happen.

            Even if that there’s no one around, she’s still nervous but in the end, she drop the letter at Ashe’s locker and suddenly, someone shouted at her. It was Ashe.

            “Crap.” She tried to run but Ashe reaches her.

            “What did you dropped?” He asked.

            “No-nothing.”

            “Nothing, huh,” He said as he opened his locker and read the letter. “So a love letter is nothing?”

            “Well, I just like you. I can’t help myself that we’re graduating without knowing each other. And I lo-love you.” She answered shyly.

            “You know, there nothing you can do. I don’t like you and most of all, I don’t love you. You’re just one of the girls who’ll be in love with a boy and later, you’ll get tired of him and  dump him on the end.” He said angrily.

            “No! I wouldn’t do—“ She didn’t finish what she is saying because Ashe interrupted her.

            “Oh, please. You will in the end. You just haven’t figured it out. All of you girls are the same. You are heartless—“ She didn’t let him finish because she slaps him and run away.

            She hates him now. She also hates herself for loving that bastard. And suddenly, she heard a noise from a car and her vision went black.

            Ashe heard the news that Brianna was hit by a car. It’s his entire fault that she was hit by a car and he even hurt her emotionally.

            He decided to visit her in the hospital and say that he was sorry and tell her that he loves her and explain that he’s just afraid to have a relationship again.

            Brianna is sleeping when someone touch her. And when she wakes up, it was Ashe.

            “What are you doing here?” She asked.

            “I’m here to say sorry.” He answered.

            “You don’t have to. It’s my fa—“

            “No. It’s my fault. It’s my fault for not saying I love you too. I’m just scared to have a relationship again.”

            She stared at him wide eyes. She can’t believe that all along, he is in love with her. “Why you didn’t tell me?”

            “Like I said, I’m afraid and also, I’m shy to tell you but please forgive me.”

            “Of course, I’ll forgive you.  So?”

            “So starting today, you’ll be my girlfriend” He said as he reaches her lips.
