My champion

Well the regret faded with days passing but my affection towards him began to increase. He was so cute. His face gave me peace. Whenever he looked at me those eyes, I felt so safe, so comfortable, so calm. But I was scared. Scared of the world. Scared that if I confessed, he will reject me and hate me for this because at that time love was meant to be a disgrace in society. I was in 3rd grade, so I didn't have enough knowledge about how to know that someone is in love, and I wasn't able to deduct it, so I kept feelings to myself.

There were just two days left for my exam. Keeping feelings inside me, I decided to focus on my exams.

"I want to tell you something Treesa" I said out of blue when we both were working silently. "You have a crush on him." Treesa spoke with confidence. "Yes! I love him! I fell in love with him... Please don't tell this to anyone" I insisted Treesa. "Don't worry Margot your secret is safe with me." Treesa added. I felt a relief and went back to work not knowing Bella had listened everything from back.

Those 2 days passed in no time, and we were having our exams. Everything was okay, but I had a fear in my mind about love.

Trying to forget everything, I gave my exams and yes they didn't go that well. On the last exam day, when I and Treesa were normally discussing our exam. Bella came and kept her arm on my shoulder. "The exams were tough though" she proclaimed. "The exams weren't tough, you didn't study." I replied. "Well at least the reason for not doing good in exams is not that I am in love." Bella said and moved to her seat. Her words hit me and I lost in thoughts "What! What does she mean by this. What is she trying to say.? Did she find out that I am in love with Mateo.? Did…Did Treesa told her? No this is not possible. I trust Treesa, and she won't do this to me." I was having all these thoughts while looking at Treesa. "Hey are you okay? Margot?" She asked waving her hand in front of my face. My chain of thoughts broke down, and I just wanted to forget what Bella said. "Never mind" I said.

Days gone by and finally the day which I feared the most came. The result day! I didn't want to know the result because of a fear of losing. A parent teacher meeting was held, and we were sitting in our classes. I was praying for my result when I was interrupted by "Margot your parents are here" Bella spoke with delight. My heart felt a plane fear as I walked towards the doorway where my teacher and parents were sitting. My teacher handed my parents the re…lt and spoke "Congratulations she got…

Second position in class"

"Second position!? Alex topped!? No, this isn't true. I felt like a failure. The dreams of having a trophy seemed to fade away. I had a look at my dad's face. As expected he wasn't happy to see my result. This made me more ashamed of myself. I was there standing like a statue with my head facing down. My parents went back, and I got back to my seat. "How did it go?" Georgia who sat with Bella and was a good friend of mine asked. Treesa and bella were waiting for my answer too. "Did Alex won?" Bella asked. "Stop it bella. No one can beat our Margot." Treesa interrupted bella and asked me again. "Second position..." I spoke in a lower voice. Everyone went silent. That silence was attacking my ears. "That's nice too. It's okay don't be sad." Treesa broke the silence. "Hmm" I spoke accepting my defeat.

...Mateo's POV...

"The sad expression on her face..It is hard for me to watch her like this." I said to my friend Oliver.

Oliver : That Alex is the reason of her sadness. Do you want me to beat the shit out of him?

Me : We are not old enough for all this Oliver

Oliver : But you are old enough to love someone

Me : Love has no age. It can't be gone if it came once

Oliver : You really changed a lot

Our conversation ended and Oliver went back to his seat

"But Margot's sad face was looking like a bad dream. I just wanted to go to her. Hold her hands and say that she is a champion. My champion!"

...Margot's POV...

That day, I cried a lot. I know exams were not a big deal in 3rd grade. But it was a big deal for me. I cried silently. My heart hurted. I wanted to go back in time and set everything okay. But all I was left with was unexpected result and feelings of failure.

---------

Everything went okay after some days. Those sad feelings were now gone and I just wanted to start again, but the unsolved feelings about Mateo were still alive in my heart.
