Haunted, huh?
Part 2

Where is (Yn)?

And then,

"Boo."

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!"

A shrill scream of fright filled the hallway, echoing around to other rooms.

Laughter soon followed.

Adora uncovered her face, slowly looking up to see Glimmer and Bow clutching their stomachs as they cackled at the girl's scream.

Tears quickly reached the two 16 year olds' eyes as they had a hard time breathing. Adora's eyes turned cold as she glared. "Oh, ha ha. Very funny. I hate you guys so much."

Note the sarcasm.

The laughter slowly let up as the teens were able to gain back some air into their deprived lungs. "Ahahaha.... Sorry Adora. We saw a chance and took it."

Bow nodded with Glimmer's statement. "Why are you in this hallway anyway? I thought you were to busy crushing on your tutor to face your fears?"

The blonde's face rose in temperature as something private like that was mentioned in an abandoned hallway. "W-w-wha-What?!! I don't have a crush on my tutor!"

The archer and principle's daughter looked at each other with a knowing look, before giving that look to the athlete. The yellow baby hairs stood up on the nape of her neck as blood rushes faster around her body. "I don't know what you mean! I don't even like her! I won't ever like her! I only talk to her because I'm being forced to! I would never like a smart-ass like her!"

"......."

"......."

A sniffle sounded behind the blonde as the pinkette and brunette in front of her stood frozen and wide eyed. She quickly tensed up as she heard the soft and comforting voice she knew and loved sounding so harsh and heartbroken.

"...So I'm a smart-ass?...huh.... good to know..... Good bye Ms. Gibson.....I hope you pass your exams without me."

Light yet rushed footsteps rung out behind her.

Adora was frozen.

She didn't actually mean it.

She didn't mean any of it.

She loved the girl.

She thought (Yn) was amazing.

(Yn) was very talented.....

And beautiful.....

And strong.....

And so so gifted in everything she does.

She needed to fix this.

Adora needed to find her.

Adora needed to find the love of her life.

Adora needed to find (Yn).

(Yn)'s POV (before she ran off)

I wanted to scare the tall blonde. For fun of course. I ended up seeing my close friends at the end of the hall. Bow Book, who's fathers work in the library and at the museum in town, but is captain of the archer club on campus. And Glimmer Moon, the only daughter of principle Angella, and is a proud member of my self-defense club. (Last names????)

I quickly told them my plan.

"Adora is down the haunted hall. You two go scare her first, then I'll jump up behind her and tackle her and scare her again. Got it?"

They nodded and headed off.

I slowly snuck up behind her. The sound waves of their conversation banged onto my eardrums.

"I thought you were to busy crushing on your tutor to face your fears?"

My face exploded red, eyes wide as I stood up straight and lean closer to hear better.

"W-w-wha-What?!! I don't have a crush on my tutor!"

The stutter made it obvious. Maybe Adora actually like me.

This was new.

No one ever had a crush on me before.

I never had a crush on any one before.

But Adora, actually cared and was very easy to handle.

Plus getting to talk for so many hours together after school, really added to the flutter of butterflies in her stomach.

Especially when the blonde leaned up closer to see her explanations better, her warm breath against her ear and her chin hovering above her shoulder.

But...

"I don't know what you mean! I don't even like her! I won't ever like her! I only talk to her because I'm being forced to! I would never like a smart-ass like her!"

Her heart...

Just stopped beating.

It was hard to breath.

It was like a panic attack, but not.

It was worse.

Way worse.

Her chocked on her breath as she walked into the light behind the traitor.

The two teens facing her held their breath as tears raced down her (skin color) cheeks, eyes turning red and puffy.

Her voice wavered as she tried to hold back whimpers.

"... So I'm a smart-ass? ......... huh ......... good to know .............. Good bye Ms. Gibson .......... I hope you pass your exams without me."

I shuffled away.

As fast as my legs could, but my tears ran faster.

My footsteps were loud, but my sobbing and heartbeat were louder.

I still couldn't breath, triggering a headache and very uneven pants as I tried to take in oxygen.

"(YN)!!"

I didn't stop.

——————

Adora failed her next test. And the rest after that.

Every teacher she had grew worried and confused. She was doing perfectly fine. The coaches even took her out of the games/matches until she got her grades back up.

They didn't.

She was constantly lost in space. The only time she wasn't, was when she was staring longingly at her ex-tutor.

(Yn) never looked at the athlete. She was too busy reading/re-reading something to take a glance at the poor girl. But what the blonde didn't see was the heart broken look the the (hc)'s face. She felt terribly guilty for just walking away. Actually, whenever Adora wasn't looking the her, she would stare longingly at Adora. But the two never actually made contact.

Adora and her parents meet back up with the principal after missing two weeks worth of practice for her teams. They were scared of the blank look in her eyes, and offered counseling for the teen, but was declined.

Angella asked the parents to step outside while she called up a student. Adora was looking off into space, trying to come up with ways to apologize to her crush.

The door opened to reveal Glimmer.

"Yes mom?"

"Do you happen to know what happened between Adora and (Yn)?"

Adora wasn't paying any attention to the conversation happening around her.

"They had a fight. Adora got flustered because me and Bow were teasing her about crushing on (Yn), causing her to say some harsh words she didn't mean about (Yn). She heard and left."

"Hmm. I have an idea."

Adora finally tuned in.

——————

Two days later, Adora was sitting on a dirt covered floor in the haunted hall way. Her blonde hair, high waisted jeans, and bright red jersey jacket were now dirty from the dust and grime on the walls. She was clearly waiting for someone. But in this gross place, it had to be someone brave.

Her hands were fidgeting against each other (👉🏻👈🏻) as she sat, nervous. She really didn't want to mess this up. Her body was full with regret and became tense as she heard light footsteps.

Coming out from the darkness and under the only lightbulb in the whole hall, was (Yn). Her reading glasses clear and clean, perched on her smooth and soft, (hair length) (food that closely resembles hair, like chocolate for brown) hair. The light seemed to reflect Adora off the (ec) eyes.  The smaller teen wore a light (random color) cardigan with dark (favorite color that is not the random color) crop top that showed off her collarbone and toned stomach.  She wore (Either a pair of light blue jeans or a skirt that matches the color of the cardigan).

Her face was flushed. Maybe because of her own outfit, but either way she was beautiful.

Adora rushed to stand up and move to the strong yet small teen. The blonde panted slightly after losing her breath to hot cute reader is. Awww!

"Hey, (Yn). Um, I just wanted to say-" "Don't. Say. Anything. I already know what you are going to say."

"Hmm? You do?"

"Yeah. And I accept the apology. But at the same time, I want to apologize to you." Adora's steel eyes widen, not understanding what she needs to apologize for.

"W-what do you mean? What do you need to apologize for?"

"I was trying to scare you. I ended up running into Glimmer and Bow and sent them to scare you first. I wanted to be the final blow but then you said those things that were meant to be said behind my back. I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation."

Now the blonde was super confused.

"Huh? I should be sorry for saying those-" "No it's fine. I hear stuff like that all the time."

Now that shook the tall teen to her core. People talk negatively about her, while she's around? She clenched her fists and grabbed onto (Yn)'s shoulders.

"People shouldn't be talking about you like that! I shouldn't be talking about you like that! I didn't mean what I said. I think you are great and fun to be around. I'm grateful to even have met you. You are very beautiful and funny and I love how smart you are. And it's not just because you're my tutor. You light up my whole world. And I-I have a crush on you, (Yn)!"

Oh wow.

Uhhh

"Shit! Wait-uh! I meant-!" "I have a crush on you too, Adora."

Huh?
