You saw your 4 month friend and your fresh crush Hazel in the hallway of the dormitory.
"Hey." You called her as you were walking towards her.
She had a blank expression on her face and it seemed abnormal. She looked like she was mentally somewhere else.
"Haze, are you alright?" You came closer to her.
"Don't come close. I know what you did." She had a disgusted expression on her face and her voice came out hateful which you never once heard from her.
You realized she knew. You could have deny it or do or say anything else but you felt your tears filling your eyes as you watched her leave and disappear in the hallway.
You heard the sound of the your phone's alarm.
You relaxed once you realized it was a nightmare.
You once had a curious straight friend who was actually bisexual and she wanted to try making out.
You had a thing for her back then and you made out. It was nice.
You and she were in the same major and had common classes. She usually asked for your help. You always helped her but even you had limits for your crushes. You didn't cheat and help anyone with cheating. She wanted that. You told her you didn't want to do this. She didn't talk to you for weeks then you saw people looking and laughing to you. You were confused and felt awkward. You learned later from someone that she told everyone a rumor. That you forced her to make out. Even proffesors were looking at you differently. Some believed in her lie, some didn't.
You became friends with a girl called Isabelle and she believed in you after you told her what happened. Then you became friends with her friends. It was nice to have people who believed in you.
Common classes with your ex-friend was a total agony. You sat far as much as possible from her and tried to ignore mean comments and disgusted look to your direction.
You hated the idea one day Hazel might believe in her. That's what happened in your nightmare. You talked with PJ and Josie before her. The discussion never opened around her. If she hear from your ex-friend first, you were afraid that she might believe in her but you were also afraid to tell her yourself.
She hugged you two times and didn't seemed disgusted. 'What happens after she learns that? ' you thought to yourself.
Her opinion was important cause you wanted more with her. You wanted to go out with her, share the same bed, spend quality time(more than you do) and laugh with her. You wanted to offer her your heart without knowing she will offer hers because as much as you know she was beautiful. Inside and out. You wanted her to know that. You weren't going to tell her that, tho.
You didn't have the guts. Maybe If you go nuts.
"Hey."
You looked from your bed to your doorstep, only to see a smiling Hazel.
"Hey. What's up? "
"Nothing. You? "
"Same." You both nodded to each other.
She sat on your bed next to you.
"Actually... I want to ask you something. I know it hasn't been that long but I wonder maybe, you want to go out with me some time? " She looked at you with an insecure face.
You froze.
"I'm sorry. Did I ruined it?" She asked with a tiny voice.
Your mouth moved but no words came out.
"Fuck. I'm sorry. I'm leaving." she told you as she was getting up.
You held her arm quickly.
'Was this really happening? ' you thought to yourself. You saw a nightmare then this was a living dream. It was like rainbow after rain.
She turned to you with a shocked expression.
"Of course I would love to go out with you." You managed to say.
She chuckles and wiped her forming tears at the corner of her eyes.
She came next to you and placed her hands on your cheeks.
"Can I ki-
" You should know something about me. " You gulped.
She looked at you curiously.
But before you managed to say anything she asked "Is this about your friends fake rumor she spread around the whole campus? "
You froze again. She knew.
"PJ told me." She chuckled.
You didn't know you were crying.
She wiped your tears with her thumbs.
"It's okay."
"You believe me? "
"You can't harm or force anyone willingly. That much I know."
More tears came out.
"She wanted to do it. I didn't force her. " You managed to tell her.
"You don't need to explain yourself. We can talk about it later If you want. " She sighed with a soft smile.
You held her hands and she squeezed them.
It felt incredibly nice.
"Thank you. For understanding."
"Of course. " She tucked the hair which was covering half of your face.
"You can kiss me now. "
She smiled widely before you had the softest kiss ever.
"Wait... what about my reputation? Everyone knows me as-
" Fuck reputation. " She said as she kissed you again and you both smiled and giggled in the kiss.
