Not so friendly anymore

That day.. Ruined everything. High school sophomore year. I knew Elijah liked me. Everyone did. But he was my best friend. I couldn't start a new relationship. It was terrifying for me, knowing I wouldn't be good enough for anyone. I knew that day he was going to confess, now don't get me wrong, I liked him too. I just couldn't admit it to myself. So I acted cold toward him during the day.

"Evelyn! What's wrong with you today?!" Elijah asked me as me grabbed my arm in the hallways. His hazel eyes sparkled. I could've looked into them all day.

"Nothing. Let go of me." I shook my arm free of his gentle grasp.

"Then why are you ignoring me?!" He shouted back, nervously sweeping his dark, curly hair out of his eyes.

"I'm not, i'm just not in the mood. Move out of my way, were blocking other people." I weakly said while trying to push past his tall, tanned figure.

"I don't care, they can go around. I know it's more than 'not in the mood', just tell me!" He shifted in front of me so I couldn't go anywhere.

"Nothing! Just leave me alone! I have to get to class." Once again, I tried to push him away with no success.

"Fine. If you wanna be that way, go ahead. Since your ignoring me now, don't bother talking to me later." He said while walking away.

That was the last words we've spoken to each other. Every day after that, we've been ignoring each other. Even when we had every single class together. Even when we used to be partners for everything. It just stopped. Just like that. How could I be so stupid?! Until 3 months later, but I should have known it wouldn't be the same as it was..
