A strange feeling

5 years ago, 

 

"Why do you keep coming back here, Odeta? You know he won't show," Cedric said, concern etching his features as he approached the bridge. The 17-year-old Odeta stood there, lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the shimmering water below. Cedric had noticed she had vanished again, and he had come searching for her. Seeing her there and knowing his guess was right, he felt a mix of frustration and worry swirl within him. 

It hurt to witness her sadness and longing for someone else, who was unattainable when he had always been right there with her. No matter how hard he tries, it feels as though she remains completely unaware of his presence. 

"How do you know? Maybe something happened, so he couldn't come today, but I'm sure he'll come by the next fortnight," Odeta said, trying to convince herself more than him.
