Time over time
Time passes by until we become more and more unfamiliar. I saw Felix hanging out with the new girl more, and I started not to contact him. His words were said in a sarcastic manner, and I didn't know what to say to him. I feel like our friendship was ruined, so we don't even meet each other in real life that much anymore. I hate his friends for separating us from our long friendship. But it really wasn't their fault either. Maybe they were just finding someone better for their friend, or maybe they were doing this for Felix to hate me. But I seriously don't understand what's happening right now.
One day, the teacher announced that there was a debate happening. And he was literally against my team. I was so surprised to find out that he was against me because he is usually on my side. I mean, like always. But this time, I was pretty sure that we were going to lose for some reason. I knew that Felix had very good argumentative skills. Now, everything is going to be messed up once again. Me and Felix didn't even talk for days. I went to class as if everything was alright. I was peacefully sitting in my chair, waiting for the teacher to arrive. Our teacher came with a surprise today. There was a new student that came to our class. "Everyone, meet Mason, your new friend." The teacher announced Mason—I mean, that's a good name. except for the fact that it reminds me of mazes or corn. He came to sit beside me, when he finished introducing himself. I didn't have any butterflies in my stomach or feel anything about him. But at a distance, there was Felix, who was staring at us. The way he stares at me makes me want to make him feel jealous. I glanced back at Mason and smiled at him. "Hey! I'm Alice. So, you're new here?" I asked him even though it wasn't the best way to start a conversation. "Yeah, I thought you already knew that. Nice name, by the way," he replied as we held eye contact. I could feel something between us. It's not that I have fallen in love, though. It's just the feeling of making someone like you. It's legit. I started to like it when I saw stars shining in his eyes. This feeling was different, and it was kind of fun for me.
Later, on those days, we started hanging out. Mason was a flirty guy with a cute personality. He made me forget all the stuff that I was facing with Felix. I started to notice Felix was hanging out with Amy afterwards too. Therefore, this led to our friendship being destroyed. At this point, I did not really care about him anymore. But the same goes to him, I believe. Mason was a fun guy to be friends with. But slowly, I knew that he wanted to be more than friends by chance. Although he did not dare to confess to me, I just knew what was wrong with his feelings. I did not like him or even want him as a friend. It's just that I like the feeling. Maybe I am starting to like the feeling of playing over others feelings. I know that my friends tell me it's very bad, but it's really not my fault. The way I can feel their feelings is very cool. And the fact that they treat me very nicely is legit. Days later, there was the debate. In the debate, Felix somehow lost. I didn't know how, but afterwards it didn't change things a lot. Instead, it made us hate it even more. As I said, he was very competitive and did not want to lose at any cost.
A few years passed, and me and him got really close. We started dating, and it was really fun, to be honest. Felix and I got further and further, too. But did I really care about that? No, absolutely not.
