13 Flowers

Eddy thought the whole night about what Max said. He isn’t that bad as he made him look.

He needs to take things slow. So that’s what he is going to do.

He woke up early in the morning, left for school. Now he just needs to wait for Evy and Hailey to arrive and open their lockers.

Within half an hour, both of them arrived along with Max. Eddy had a big smile on his face, which made Max suspicious of him. He just shrugged it off and indicated him to carry on with Evy and Hailey.

When both of them open their lockers, both of their eyes soften and glance at Eddy. Evy looked at him, crushed the flower, threw it in the dustbin, and left for the class. Whereas Hailey was concerned, she looked at him with sad eyes, kept the lily in her locker, and followed Evy.

Eddy sighs when he feels someone’s hand touching his shoulder.

“Dude, it will take time for them to come around,” Max said.

“Yeah... My whole life.”
