His New Resolve
Virgil didn't feel like going out that morning let alone go to
school and meet with Anna, he had zero options other than go
because he wouldn't want to anger his mom that early in the day
so he just forced it in and got into the shower, put his uniform on
and headed out.
He got to school having put this thought at the
back of his mind, not to avoid her just because of what happened
as that wouldn't be mature on his part or look good in public.
They met up in school the first time but he walked past her
class without looking in to see if she was around, not like he did it
intentionally but he felt ashamed to look for her, he still felt bad
about what happened thinking he did something and so it was,
through that day he avoided her through the whole day.
That day was over... The next day, the same thing but as
fate would have it Virgil never stayed in class at any free period
that came his way, he would always spend it outside the class
either the spot where Anna left him or the school's geography
laboratory unknownst to him that Anna always came looking for
him. A time where he was about to leave class again when his
best friend came up to him and told him he had heard what
happened between them.
Virgil didn't wanna talk about it and just walked away
leaving the class, she didn't come back until the day was done. At
the end of school she wanted to try to get hold of him…again.
Immediately stepping out of class she notices him at the
other stairway, moving quickly to catch him before he
mysteriously vanishes Anna calls out to him he turns to identify
the voice that called to him only to see her. They exchange
pleasantries as she comes up wasting no time she gets to her
point.
"What's wrong, Virgil?" he stands a little confused she then
explains that he has been ignoring her since that day but he on
the other hand tries to explain to her that whatever he did hedidn't mean to do. Looking a little worried with feeling of slight
guilt in her eyes she proceeded to ask him if she was his first.
Virgil doesn't respond openly but she could tell that was a
yes and she didn't look too remorseful getting that response from
him thinking it was some kind of joke, but soon after he didn't
respond anymore or look at her face she knew he was actually
serious she drew closer and apologized to him, she didn't mean to
hurt him the way she did.
She draws closer trying to reach to touch him slowly
drawing back her hand and reeling it forward, at an impasse
whether or not touching him in that moment was going to help
this situation. Virgil was doing his best to stay strong but he badly
wanted to know what he did wrong and not to break down into
tears.
He sat down on the staircase area to think through, she had
refused to give him her reasons for letting him off in such a way,
he always thought things like this that was shared between
people was always about communication and trust. He had high
hopes for them both since she was the first girl he has ever
really had feelings for.
Virgil had never really looked at any girl with any sort of
special affection or paid serious attention to them before, he
could always see a girl and think to himself "oh she's pretty" and
that would be the end else whatever he felt would leave him in
the span of a week. Given he had kept feelings for this girl for a
whole session he thought it had to be something special.
Then again he also thought "what's done is done, I should
just live with it and try not let it show so it doesn't affect her or
make her feel awkward or guilty even"
Having steeled his resolve a little Virgil steps up and walks
down to the school courtyard to join his bus home, bidding Anna
farewell with a little smile.
