Lillian Grey heard Giselle confessing her love . It took her back leaving in shock . It is the first time for Lillian . Although she's in her high school, Lillian Grey never cared for 'falling in love . ' The reason behind it was because she hasn't met anyone who made her feel that way .
However, the least she could expect it to be a guy who'd propose her .
But, the reality is quite the opposite .
It is a girl who's in love with her .
"Is this a joke or a prank you're trying on me?" Lillian charged in anger .
According to Lillian, she can only imagine all this to be an act for others to play on her . She couldn't believe or trust Giselle's confession at first .
"What?" Giselle got worried .
Of course, this was an impromptu decision to confess her love . But, it made Lillian angry, Giselle felt the need to clear the misunderstanding . The last thing she wants is for Lillian to hate her . So, Giselle decided to clarify her feelings completely .
"It's not a prank . "
"You might think it is, but it's not . "
Lillian Grey noticed Giselle's firm face . She could feel the impact on her voice .
'She isn't lying . ' - Lillian thought .
"I know it's sudden, but this is no prank for me to play with you . "
"I'm in Love with you, Lillian Grey . "
"Love?" "As in?" Lillian asked dubiously .
Giselle bit her lips shyly . Her fingers still interlocked with each other .
She took a deep breath before speaking .
"Love, as in, I'm IN LOVE with YOU, romantically . " Giselle's eyes faced down on the floor .
"ROMANTICALLY!!!" Lilliam exclaimed .
Giselle's words pierced into her heart . She felt all of her strength losing hearing to every single word coming out of this girl's mouth . It is the first time Lillian's ever felt this way . However, she couldn't see herself returning this girl's feelings . The only solution is to let her go without any heartbreak .
"Giselle, right?" Lillian exhaled loudly .
Giselle looked at Lillian . Her blue eyes met with the hazel brown ones, waiting impatiently .
"yes," Giselle gasped .
Her heart raced every second . Giselle knew whatever the result is going to be that she would accept it . But, in the corner of her heart, she ached for Lillian to reciprocate her feelings .
"I'm sorry if I ever gave you that impression . " Lillian started speaking .
"But-"
Before she could say another word, Giselle's eyes welled up in tears . Lillian noticed . With a heavy heart, Lillian Grey spoke .
"I don't know you, but I'm sure that you must have seen me in the past and had fallen for me . I get it, your feelings . However, I can't return them . " Lillian explained .
"Is it because I'm a girl?" Giselle's tears piled up .
"Being a lesbian has got nothing to do with it . It's just that I don't feel that way with you . "
"I'm grateful, but also, I'm sorry . " Lillian declared .
Giselle controlled herself from crying . She nodded quietly and then walked away .
"Giselle?" Lillian called .
Giselle stopped . She didn't turn to face Lillian .
"You are the first person ever to love me in this way . I don't hate you, but I also don't-" Lillian's words interrupted .
"It's alright . " Giselle's voice reached Lillian, who's standing behind her .
"You should like someone who can be with you . Don't waste your time on me . I'm not interested in having a relationship . " Lillian advised .
"That's not for you to tell me what to do . My feeling for you will never change . " Giselle shouted .
It surprised Lillian but what's interesting was what's coming next from Giselle .
"You are the first person I loved too . I was prepared to get turned down . But I never knew getting rejected would be this painful as I've held feelings for you a long time . I'm sorry . "
"It is stupid of me to do this . I thought I'm going to explode if I don't do it . And that's why I wanted to convey to you my true feelings . You don't have to stress out . I'll be fine . "
Lillian felt a throbbing pain on her chest as she saw Giselle's face turned towards her while she said those words .
'I'll be fine . ' - Giselle's words echoed in her mind .
Soon, Giselle went away leaving Lillian in silence . She walked back home that day with a heavy heart and an unstable mind . All she could think was this random girl who had disturbed her peaceful high school life .
