Connecting stars

Couple

"Makoto"
"Makoto"
The name got struck in my mind & started to make me crazy maniac
I was a bit afraid. I never wanted to  involve in a love triangle. I hated them. I used to see love triangles in movies & daily shows. That's why i decided not to tell her that i like Makoto ever in my life.
Just because i was her friend i didnt want to give up on him
so i continued this friendship not that i like her
in reality i have always despised her
She was popular, she got all the love, i felt bad.
I made a plan
I try to become close to her, more & more, then i get closer to Makoto as she frequently talks to him
I thought i would have a great profit of this so called friend - relationship between us

She gave me a message next day
"Hey wanna come to a secret part tommorow. We'll have fun"
i replied

"What do u guys do in these parties"
"Play games, chit chat, Have fun..."
"sounds cool ;) im in. Btw i have never been to any party bfore"
"what?? srsly??"
"yea"
"thats not good. I promise you'll have fun ;);)"
We sent Emojis to each other

Next day I saw something teriific on the school board
it had one big M and another M ina big heart
and under that it was written
"MakoMichi"
darkly
I didnt know how to react. my blood was boiling. i have put on a fake smile & started teasing Michiko as she entered the classroom

She was giving  a "i am so fed up" look but i knew deep inside she was very happy

Makoto came into the room a bit late & Looked at the board

He started blushing and shouted
"who wrote this nonsense"
"i know right? being paired with you, loser. " she muttered
they were staring at eachother and in a few seconds looked away.

"Look at them" one of the classmate cheered
"Such a sweet couple" another teased

I beared all of the things and  rushed to the washroom
I gulped down the pain in my throat . stood near the sink, washed my face, and trying to put on a smile on my face

"these kind of things happen. doesnt mean they'll end up in a relationship"
i convinced myself
