My Triplet Lovers

What Now? (Troy's POV)

Well, the food didn't help I couldn't even chew or taste the food properly because of how Maya has been on my mind all week. I mean, how is that even connected? I just sat there and looked around, no one's here aside from me. I'm just all alone in this corner. The same spot where Maya and I used to eat together.

I don't usually take the same seat anywhere, but I somehow unconsciously keep choosing this spot.

I didn't leave yet even if I was already done eating lunch a few minutes ago just to sit there and think about my actions lately.

The silence soon bothered me because we usually were loud at this time breaking the silence of those around us with her loud hysterical laugh even if there's nothing funny in what I said.

As I soon recalled these memories, I stared sadly at the empty chair in front of me. Where she sat before...

I missed her more than I ever did before...

I looked at the other tables in front of me thinking to switch seats with the other vacant seats in front of where I'm at thinking it would make me think less of her. I stood up as soon as possible trying every seat as fast as possible but it didn't change anything...

no matter where I sat, no matter how many angles I look at it,

it didn't change the fact that I still miss her so badly...

I couldn't take it, it just reminded me more of her.

I guess I should just go back to our classroom, surely we didn't have that many "moments" or memories that seem too good to forget. I think we even acted professionally in there without that much feelings involved with every move or word we spoke there, I guess that's the safe spot for me.

As soon as I thought of it, I stood up quickly to get out of this place and get back.

- 12 pm -

I got in and I was lucky enough to be the first one there, I just really don't feel like talking to anyone today.

It was starting to get boring again because the silence was getting louder the more people from the other classrooms left or just stayed silent.

I thought I'd be safe from the thought of her but I was completely wrong.

I stared at the door for a while not knowing why it reminded me of her. I mean, it's just a door.

Then I soon recollect the past events that happened not so long ago. Like I don't know, Three days ago? doesn't really seem that long. And makes sense why I'd still remember it.

In front of the door is where I first kissed her hand, I soon reminisce on our short but happy past.

I just wished I could stay longer, but timing really was never on our side...

I know I say this a lot but I mean it,

I want her back...

but not now...

A few minutes later, I hear footsteps getting closer as if it was coming into the classroom... but I couldn't care any less as I continued zoning out unconsciously staring blankly at the wall.

Someone came in, I didn't bother looking at whoever was behind that door, I just continued to stay in my mind zoning out.

I went too far and it looked like I literally escaped into my own world.

"Cool, so this is what it feels like," I told myself.

There I thought of trying to talk to her again and told myself that if I ever had a chance to talk to her again, I won't let it go to waste.

I was too far out in the zone that nothing bothered me like noise from the outside world. After enjoying a few moments there, I finally snapped out of it. I soon realized that I actually spent a whole hour just thinking and eventually I noticed that Maya was right in front of me close to my face looking disappointed.

Wait- did she try talking to me? Did she say anything???

I look at her once more. She really looks disappointed, it didn't last long that she started to notice our classmates arriving and she went back to her seat which was right beside me.

It was around 1 pm that I soon observed her from the corner of my eye, she was staring at me again.

She gazed upon me as if she was in a trance but not long after the stress and hopelessness showed itself out of this happy look she gave me. Her frown slowly grew then looked away and she just went on looking at the floor.

She then shook her head then started writing quickly and now actually looking mad while trying to write down everything that was written on the board and whatever our teacher said. Then a sudden change again as if she lost her energy.

After our lesson, she looked bored, and probably because of this boredom that she started looking or even observing me again the whole time but for some reason, I wasn't even bothered by it.

I liked it... I miss the way she looked at me like that...

- 3:30 pm -

Well around this time, Our teacher couldn't make it so I just started to draw on the spare time we had. I noticed that Maya was in a hurry then left.

I wonder where she's going, is she the one ignoring me this time that she'd rather not stay close to me anymore?

I just brushed off the thought then continued drawing.

Not too long after, my friends came to me to tell me something that was "important"

"Hey bro, some girl wants to talk to you downstairs in the cafeteria right now and she said it's urgent"

One of my friends said.

"Who is this girl exactly?" I said while smirking at them to hide how nervous I really am because if it was Maya, I still don't think this is the right time to talk to her, 'cause I really don't have anything to say to her right now.

"It's some girl from another section. Probably about a club you're in or something, go man. She said it's urgent" The other one responded.

Although I didn't want to talk to Maya yet, I was kinda disappointed that it wasn't her who wanted to see me.

"Ok, I'll go" I say to both of them as I soon stood up from where I was sitting really uninterested to no matter how "urgent" this girl says this is.

I just want to get this over with 'cause I'm really not in the mood.

I hurriedly went downstairs to go to the cafeteria, it's kinda hard to know who it'll be because they never said a name so I hope there won't be a lot of people down there.

As I arrived, I observed that no one else was in the cafeteria except for this girl who was facing the other direction which meant I couldn't see who it was, so I was the one who first spoke because I think she doesn't know that I'm already here.

I started with...

"Hi, miss? Were you the one who wanted to see me?" I told her trying to sound half as interested to at least not sound rude.

She then started to talk.

"*Ehem* Please take a seat as this is something serious that we need to talk about urgently." she said in a voice that kinda sounds familiar but not so familiar that I'd think it was someone I know.

I sat down immediately after that and just decided to follow and listen to whatever she has to say because like what I said before, I'm not in the mood.

She then started to clear her voice and it started to sound like Maya, if it was her, I don't know why I didn't even notice that it was her in the first place even if she was looking away from me. But I'm not so sure yet so I continued to focus and listen to what she had to say.

"I have a question for you..."

she told me while she slowly tilted her head and turned her body facing towards me then before I knew it, she already grabbed me by the hand, it was so quick that I just soon realized that it was Maya!

My hands were starting to shake from the excitement of finding out it was actually her who wanted to see me and the fear rising up inside my head because I've got nothing to say to her and I don't really want to disappoint her again but at this rate, I got no choice but to think of something to say.

But I just stared at her and said nothing.

" ...Why did you ignore me all of the sudden? Is there something wrong? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me because I'm so confused right now." She cried out to me while her tears quickly fell along the side of her face while the grip she had on my hands got tighter as if she was telling me not to leave.

I felt bad for her but all the shock from what's happening just left me to freeze at the spot because of not knowing what to do next.

"I just stared at you and said nothing,

Believe me, I wanted to tell you everything"
