Zory’s Point of view-----(If you see a mistake point it out! It helps!)

“Will you go out with me?!” a girl with long brown hair said in a nervous tone.

“aaaa sorry I’m not looking for a girlfriend right now” I said while rubbing the back of my head. The girl down casted her gaze. 

Awkward...

Usually at these types of things the girl would just leave, but this ones just standing here playing with the dirt.

“Ahh excuse me Zlyphia, are you ok?” I said while leaning a bit closer. She slower looked up.

“Ahh Zory, will you go out with me?”

“Didn’t I just say---”

“Don’t finish!” she quickly took a step in and embraced me with all her might.  I let out a small sigh, while patting her head.

“I’m sorry, maybe some other time.” She looked up and shook her head.  

I looked into her tear filled eyes. I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.

“I’m sorry please understand” I said while running away.

-------

For a week Zlyphia, didn’t come to class.

-----In the Cafeteria---------

“Another girl turned down Zory?”

“Yea,” I said with my voice trailing off.

“Why is it that you’re always the one who looks rejected?” my friend said in a worried tone.

“It’s just that … I don’t like to disappoint people. I don’t like to make people sad.”

“Then stop being sad yourself!” an unknown voice said from behind.

*Whack* something hard just slammed the back of my head. I turned around.

“Zlyphia!”

“If you don’t straighten yourself up, your fan club will keep looking sad as well.”

Zlyphia said with two hands on her waist with a smug look. Her hair was also cut shorter. (To her shoulders) She sat down next to me, and pulled out a sandwich.

“Listen Zory, you shouldn’t be such a wimp, you’re a man right! So what you rejected me, or other girls, just move on. As the reason why you won’t accept a girlfriend is beyond me. Except… Wait are you gay?!”

“No way! I’m just little scared about getting a girlfriend…..”

“I just never had one before” I mumbled.  Zlyphia’s face started to distort in laughter till she suddenly bursted with hahas.  My face started to become a nice shade of red.

“Jeez to think I feel for someone like you.” Zlyphia said whipping away a tear.

“Well this is different, even though you rejected her, she’s still here talking friendly with you.” My friend said in a surprised tone.

I put my chin to the table and hid my head in my arm fortress. Fort embarrassment assembled! Seeing this, Zlyphia started rubbing my back. It was warm.

“You’re like a little kid! It’s cute, how about this lets go on a date, maybe I can help with your insecurity.”

Her words stung, but I had to acknowledge that they were true.

“Won’t this feel weird for you since… you know you-”

“Don’t worry about it. I’m over you. So let’s have some fun” Zlyphia said with a smile head tilt combo. I peeked from the triangle hole that my arm created. She’s still smiling. I agreed, in a small whimper.

Date day—

Zlyphia decided it would be best to do the cliché movie date. We both met at the town’s central plaza. Zlyphia was wearing a nice red mini skirt with a black inner shirt followed off by a brown mini jacket. She’s cute. We started heading toward the theater.

While walking, there Zlyphia nonchalantly slipped her hand in mine. I tried to struggle out of it. Surprisingly her hand grip was ridiculously strong.

“What a young couple, ehh what is the guy doing, trying to do the wave?”(On lookers)

“Would you stop it, you look ridiculous.” Zlyphia said as she crunched my hand.  I stopped struggling.

“Wrap your hands around mine”

“I can’t just do---”

Zlyphia turned and gave me a sharp glare. I gulped. As of this point my hand had been open like paper. (Rock paper scissors) I slowly closed my hand around hers. Once my fingertips were neatly applying pressure she smiled. So soft.

We arrived at the movie theater. Zlyphia said normally you should pick a romance flick, but since we weren’t really a couple we watched an action flick.  Zlyphia explained during the movie that you should try and hold the girl’s hand.

When I tried during the movie, her hand instantly moved away.

“Try it with your REAL girlfriend k?”

I nodded and we continued to watch the movie. After that, we went to a local café.

“So are you feeling better about it Zory?” Zlyphia said while munching on her steak.  

I shook my head still unsure.

“Ehhhh, but you did fine today. I think next time you should try it with the real thing.”

I shook my head again

“If you never try, then you will always stay like this.”

“Perhaps we can do more of this” I said in a soft mumble. Zlyphia sighed.

“I don’t mind hanging out with you, but I don’t think we should keep doing this. It would be kinda weird if people thought we were going out after you turned me down.”

“Then what if we go out for real…”

“Nope. The person I want to go out with has to share the same feelings I do with them. I don’t want a one sided relationship.” Zlyphia exclaimed while sipping the last drops of her tea.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have lingering feelings for you. But that’s beside the point, you should try and fine someone you love and spend time with him.”

“Him!? I’m not gay”

“Yea, I know just joking!” Zlyphia laughed while holding her stomach. Ba-dump Ba –dump. Doki Doki. She’s so Cute~ . Her brown hair perfectly curved around her face. Her light brown eyes were --

“Haha, hey Zory you okay? Wait is there some food on my face.” Zlyphia said while pulling out a flip mirror.

I quickly averted my gaze.

“Ahh no you’re perfectly cute”

Zlyphia eyes grow wide.

“Wait... That’s not what I meant, I mean you----”

Zlyphia lets out a small chuckle.

“I think you’ll find a fine girlfriend.” Zlyphia said as she got up from the table. I asked where she was going. She explained she had to go. She smiled (~Cute~) and left money on the table and left.

Zlyphia’s (Point of View)-------------------

Welp I hope Zory is goona be ok.

Over time, Zory got more confidence and started harassing me more. UGH why did I help that guy? Weird thing is even though he built up the confidence to get any girl, he never did. Zory is one weird guy. I can't belive I liked him.
