Vera shook her head anxiously, longing to say yes. “I— I can’t today.”

Tay cupped Vera's chin in his hands, "Why not? I have something I want to ask you."

Vera’s heart hammered violently in her chest, destroying her resolve. She took a desperate step back, shaking her head again. “I—I have to go.”

Tay stepped back a little hurt, "I guess you can't be my girlfriend? Is it because I'm shorter than you?"

Vera’s brain short-circuited. “No— I— Pleas don’t—-“ She took another step back, almost in tears. Please don’t Do this to yourself, Tay! “I— I just got a call— I have to go— my sister—- I—“ Lying to him hurt her, tore through her heart like a bullet.

Bridge smiled.

(This tension is killing me omg)

“I have to go.”, she repeated, turning around quickly. I’m sorry.

(Gtg arg)

Tay stepped closer, "I'm sorry." he frowned, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." he could still feel the rejection ripping through him. I didn't think it would be this hard. Tay smiled at Vera, "Since you refused, can you still be my friend?"

(I’m back!)

It pained Vera to see how much this was hurting him. “Of course! I— I just-“ Her voice quivered, and a thought occurred to her. “I’m in a foster home now, Tay. I’ll be gone soon, adopted. I— I don’t want to hurt you.”, she said, voice dropping to a whisper.

"We can still keep in touch." Tay smiled, "I'll visit you wherever you go."

Vera was oddly touched, but she pushed it down, heart hammering wildly. She nodded. “Th-Thanks Tay, I need to go—my sister—“ She gestured helplessly towards her phone, glad that her desperation made it seem like she actually had to call.

Tay nodded and smiled, "You're welcome." nearby, Bridge glared and picked at her fingernails.

(Yay you’re back!)

Vera nodded and whirled around, running from the room, out the school, into the street, around the corner, until she reached the only place she felt safe: the cemetery. Slipping between closely packed graves, she clutched her sketchbook tightly and slowed to a walk, making her way to a small cluster of trees.

Kamè held onto Tay's shoulder, "Hey man, don't sweat it. True love always makes it through."
Felix sighed, "I dunno Kamè, Marya will never forgive me."
"Give her time, maybe two years?" Kamè laughed, "She'll come around."
Tay smiled at them and sat back down at the table. "Thanks guys."

(Ah, I see :P)

Vera wove through the trees, fists clenched as she recalled the devasted look on Tay’s face. She blinked back tears. I’m sorry. Kneeling down, she sat herself down next to a handmade wooden cross with an inscription on it. Her mother had been buried back in Chicago, but This was the little grave Vera had made for her here. She took her cross necklace from under her shirt, and began to pray.

Tay ate his food in silence and wondered again if it was because he was shorter than Vera.

(Poor Tay!)

Vera finished her prayer and leaned back against a sturdy oak tree, trying hard not to cry. I’m sorry Tay, it’s for your own good, I promise., she thought sadly, determined not to ruin his future, the one he’d worked so hard for.

Tay touched the bruise on his shoulder and sighed, I guess it's not just my shoulder that was bruised by someone I love today.

(Whoah!!)

Vera leaned her forehead on her knees, tears spilling from her soft green eyes. Her heart throbbed, wanting Tay so much it hurt. She knew she could never had him.

Kamè reached over and tapped Tay's forehead, "Hello? Earth to Tay?"

Vera began brewing a plan on her head, a plan that would hurt her as much is it would help Tay, although he didn’t know it. I should skip 4th period, that’s when I have a class with Tay, and then I should be fine the rest of the day. I’ll take the long way around to all my classes..

Tay's head snapped up, "Yeah, yeah, I'm here." the bell rang and Tay picked up his backpack, praying, hoping, dreaming of 4th period, when he would see Vera again.
