Unconditionally novel Chapter 3

Juliana's p.o.v

I looked at myself in the school bathroom mirror and tried to smile but stopped when it became creepy, I slowly looked at my bag pack and sighed softly.

Today was the day I was going to confess my love to my long time crush Leo, I knew that she thought I was a freak, I didn't care because to me she was my savior and love of my life.

Back then I was always stubborn to listen to my parents warning or advice, I came from a very rich family but I refused to attend a private school or walk around with a bodyguard because I wanted to experience normal school life, but I regretted it In middle school when I was on my way to school and some men attacked me from nowhere, that's when I met Leo, she came to my rescue kicking the bad guys up in just a few minutes, she then went on to pat my head gently, I stood in admiration as she walked away in her flared skirt.

I went home and asked my guard to find out about her when he did I was relieved, I knew everything there was to know about her.

For years I worked hard to enroll in the same school as her, I even refused my parents' help, when I made it I was so happy, I didn't want to draw much attention to myself so I wore baggy clothes and fake glasses.

when I met her for the second time, she was all grown up and looked different, she looked manly and handsome like a prince, even the men's uniform she wore made her look hotter, her hair was cut, she was like my dream girl who looked like a man, I was crazy over her but sadly she couldn't remember me in any way, I decided to keep my mouth shut and wait patiently for her to one day remember me.

"Today is the day you confess," I said to myself then went out of the bathroom.

I walked to the school ground stumbling a bit because of the fake glasses I usually wore, many people pointed out how beautiful my eyes were and I hated that a lot, those were the words I was dying to hear from Leo not them, I looked ahead and saw her sitting at her usual place with Jena resting her head on her laps,

I stood still for a second and took in a deep breath.

Jena was the only lady Leo could see in the entire school, yes she was beautiful, but not the most beautiful girl I had ever set my eyes on, but to Leo she was.

Most people said that Jena was Leo's best friend since middle school who she liked, but they didn't see what I saw, Leo loved everything about her not as a friend but as a lover.

Jena had what most girls longed for, rich blond hair, pink small lips, tiny waist, large breasts, short height with dark brown eyes.

My gaze Shifted on Leo, I swallowed hard in admiration, Leo wasn't beautiful at all, as crazy as it would sound she was handsome and her body was well built due to working out, her hair was thick and amazingly black, her smile was suffocating in a good way and she was strong too, many students talked behind her back but never in her face, they couldn't dare call her names or abused her in any way because of the fear they held for her, she was in the karate and kung-fu club, to top it up she came out as number one in those clubs, she wasn't the captain of the club but she received the same respect a captain would, and the girls really adored her despite her gender.

I walked slowly to them debating with myself whether to call out Leo's name or not, when Jena looked at me she said something that made Leo look back.

Her facial expression instantly turned cold, I knew that I was forcing myself on her and that it was annoying for her but I couldn't stop, I was in love with her, every time I went out and saw accessories that would look good on her I bought them without a second thought, every food I thought that she would like I made it for her even when my fingers were mostly cut and burned, her receiving my gifts meant everything to me, she accepted them but never ate or wore any, I was a little sad but I could never give up, at times she ignored me completely but I stayed with her, I took joy in watching her practice and smile while I cheered her on.

I moved closer and sat down a few inches away from her with my gaze fixed on the ground, I couldn't look her in the eye, she was too good looking and a little scary to look at.
