Iris's POV:
Monday came and that means another day of school. Ugh!! I swear i'm so tired of studying, my life cycle is i wake up early in the morning to prepare for school, go to school, go home, do homework, sleep, and repeat.

Ugh!! I'm tired. But i have no choice so i get up from my bed and took a shower and picked an outfit

I also styled my hair in a simple pony tail and applied make up then headed down stairs to eat breakfast like usual.
When i arrived at school nothing much really happened. I just had a simple conversation with my friends and first lesson came by.

Weird...Xian isn't here yet. Is he late or is he absent? Meh..i don't really care what ever he do. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Miss said. "Sorry ma'am i was late, i overslept" Xian said while scratching his head a little bit because of embarrassment. "Xian, your 30 min late but since this is your first time being late it's fine. Go take your seat" Miss replied to him then he took his seat.

"Why we're you late?" I asked him "I couldn't sleep, i was thinking about our date last saturday and i was thinking about you" he winked at me,i rolled my eyes "Geez. If i knew you'll be this over exaggerated i would've not attended our date" "Hehe sorry" he apologized.

Last night...i still feel confused of what happened. I still don't know what answer i'll give him. I'm still confused about my feelings for him but i don't want him to get hurt just because of me. He's a good friend of mine and i wouldn't risk on hurting his feelings.

Lunch time and i came with my friends. And since Xian and his friends became friends with us too, we all shared the same table and ate together. I sat in between Cloe and Alex. "So tell me what happened" Cloe said "Cloe, why? Nothing special really happen. We just had a walk in the park ate ice cream and do normal things in dates" i rolled my eyes.

"Geez, Iris why are you so moody today? Is it the first time of the month or something? Your not normally this moody" Cloe pouted. "I'm sorry Cloe, i'm just not feeling well today" "It's fine, just rest if you have time today. Don't overwork or stress yourself too much" she replied worriedly.

Xian's POV:
I think it's my fault that she's like this..last night..i should've never asked her so early. I should've waited for her to feel the same way. I think i should talk to her later.

Lunch time ended and we all head back to our classrooms and have a free time for about two hours before class starts. Maybe i have a chance to talk to her now.

"Hey..umm..Iris are you okay? Are you not feeling well?" I asked her "Hmm? no no i'm fine i'm just..." She started "Just what?" I asked her again "I don't know..i honestly don't know what i'm feeling right now, i'm so confused about my feelings and...i just don't know anymore" she explained while few tears run down her cheeks

I hugged her and paths her head "This is my fault, if i never asked you out on a date, this would've never happened" i wiped the tears off her cheeks "No, it's fine. I actually had a great time with you and because of that..*sigh* i don't know how i feel about you anymore" tears fall down her cheeks again

I pity my princess if i never have done this, she wouldn't be confused like this "Don't cry Iris, i know you're confused right now but i believe in you that you can figure out you're feelings towards me and whatever it is, i'll gladly accept it " i smiled at her

"Thank you" she smiled while wiping her own tears.

Flashback of last night

Iris's POV:
Tomorrow is monday and i have to sleep early because i take ages to get ready. I don't know why but that's just how girls do. It takes them 1 hour each to find and outfit and get dresses, style their hair and apply make up.

Girls take times but i still look ugly. Why life? Why would you make me like this. Suddenly my phone vibrated and i checked it. Xian texted me?

Xian 😎:
Hey umm i have to tell you
something

Me:
What is it? :3
Xian 😎:
Promise me you wouldn't be mad?

Me:
Okay? 🤨
Xian 😎:
I like you 😅
Me:
Is this a prank?
Xian 😎:
No...i'm serious Iris
Me:
Why?
Xian 😎:
Like i said before, you're
different from other girls

Me:
😐😐😐

Xian 😎:
Are you...okay?
Me:
I'm fine 😅 i was
just surprised
Xian 😎:
It's okay if you don't answer now

Me:
Thanks for understanding
Xian 😎:
NP ;P
Me:
Hehe ok good night :*
Xian 😎:
Good night princess ;*

Okay..that's weird. I never though someone would actually like me. ME.. haha weird. But what if he's actually serious about it like what he said? I don't know what my answer will be yet..

Maybe i should just sleep it off and think about it in the morning. Ugh!! "I'm so exhausted" then i head for bed and after 10 min i fell asleep.

Xian's POV:
I finally told her. Wow! I feel relieved, it's like their a big load of things that's been lifted from my chest. I feel happy that i get to be true to her and tell her how i feel.

I just hope that she doesn't feel weird around me whenever we hangout tomorrow because of my confession. I don't want her to be stressed over just because of my confession and push herself to think about an answer to me tomorrow. I'm worried that might happen.

It's getting late. I should sleep now, i still have school tomorrow and i have to get ready early because i don't want to be late. I glanced over my alarm clock "It's 11:00 pm now? Sh*t i'm gonna be late tomorrow ugh!!" I said annoyed at myself. I should hurry to sleep now.

After i feel like hours of not be able to fall asleep, i finally did fell asleep. Hopefully i'm not late tomorrow.

End of flashback

Iris's POV:
I feel thankful that Xian is very understanding but it doesn't help me realize my feeling for him. Ugh why is this so hard to think about it? But Xian said whatever my answer is, he'll accept it fully. I don't want to reject him but at the same time i don't know yet if i like him or not...

Hopefully i figure this out. The sooner the better...right? What should i do?
😣😖😟
