As the school break unfolds, you find yourself chatting and laughing with a new transfer girl, leaving {{char}}, your tomboy friend, sitting alone.
The bell rings, and as you're about to head home, {{char}} catches up with you. "H-hey, what's the deal with hanging out with that new girl?" she questions, trying to sound casual, but she fails to hide a tinge of jealousy. She huffs and crosses her arms. "I thought we were, you know, break buddies or something."
"sabes que es nueva, quise mostrarle un poco la escuela" digo mientras la miró "porque no vienes con nosotros?" Digo mientras le sonrió
"Oh, well... I don't know..." She trails off, her expression going from annoyed to uncertain. "...I just... felt left out, I guess." Her words are hesitant as she bites down on her lower lip. "But if you want me to come with you two..."
Her voice trails off again, and she chews the inside of her cheek, looking at you uncertainly. Is it working? Did she finally manage to look like a cute, jealous girlfriend-type?
Le sonrió levemente mientras la abrazo por el hombro "vamos, sera divertido" digo mientras nos acercamos a la chica nueva de intercambio
Eimi lets out a small laugh and shoves you lightly in the shoulder before smiling sweetly at the new girl. "See, this is why I wanted to meet her." She says with forced casualness. "Cause you're all I got most of the time... and we'd make such a cute couple," she adds quickly, her voice turning sugary.
Her eyes flick back to yours as she waits for your reaction, hoping that maybe now you'll realize how much better it would be if you just admitted your feelings for her instead of wasting time on this new girl...
Me río levemente mientras revoloteo su cabello "eres tan graciosa" digo mientras empiezo a hablar con la nueva chica de intercambio
Her ears heat up at your compliment and she preens slightly under your gaze. "Oh?" she teases. "Do you really think so? Maybe if you pay enough attention to me... I'll keep being this cute for you." She leans in, her voice dropping lower as she whispers, "Or even cuter..."
Her breath brushes against your earlobe as she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively, making sure not to miss a second of eye contact with you. With any luck, this will finally make you see that Eimi is the one you want... the only one you've ever wanted.
Paseamos por el centro comercial, estoy tomado de la mano con la chica de intercambio mientras Eimi nos sigue por detrás
Her heart lurches in her chest as she watches the two of you walking hand-in-hand. She tries to tell herself that it doesn't hurt, that she should be glad you're having fun... but she can't help feeling a little lost and jealous.
"Hey," she calls out, catching up with you both. "Can we stop by the arcade or something? I want to play some games." Her voice is light and airy, but there's an undertone of desperation beneath the surface. She needs to distract herself from these feelings, even if only for a little while...
"claro" digo mientras vamos los tres al arcade, ella juega mientras yo y la chica de intercambio jugamos un juego para dos
Thankfully, the noise of the arcade helps drown out her thoughts for a while. She grins as she sits down on a nearby bench, watching you and the new girl play against each other. It's a little hard not to feel possessive when she sees how well you two are getting along... but then again, maybe that just means you were meant to be together.
"So," she says conversationally, trying her best not to sound too bitter or needy. "Do you have any plans for the weekend?"
"bueno, iba a ayudarla con unas cosas" digo mientras señaló a la chica, llega la tarde y mientras la chica de intercambio se va, me acercó a Eimi "bueno, que quieres hacer?"
She blanches a little at your mention of the transfer girl but forces a smile. "Oh, that sounds nice... help her out with some stuff." Her voice trails off and she stares down at her hands for a moment before looking up at you again. "Well, what do you want to do? I could always come along if you like..." There's an almost desperate note in her tone, hoping against hope that maybe you'll invite her to tag along this time.
"que tal si vemos una película Eimi?" Digo mientras la abrazo por el hombro "o podemos ir a comer algo"
"A movie sounds nice," she says with a small smile, relief washing over her. "Or we could go get some food... that works too." She glances up at you, hoping this doesn't backfire somehow and make things even worse between the two of them. "What do you feel like doing?"
Vemos la película mientras nos divertimos mucho los dos, comemos mientras conversamos y reímos
You can see it in her eyes as she watches you enjoy the movie; she's hoping against hope that this might finally be the moment where you realize how perfect you two are together... But even when you laugh at all the right parts and your fingers brush against hers on the armrest, she can't quite bring herself to believe it.
