Weak love
My name is Alexia. I live in Canada and have been studying at a private school. I think that everything people do or say is meaningless, so that is why I am a very quiet girl.
As usual, I do everything alone today. I do not want to talk to anybody. However, my best friend introduces to me to one of her friends. Her friend is a boy named Alex. We are students at the same private high school. I’ve heard of him before, as he is the richest student in our whole school. I obviously have no interest in him. I brush him off and decide to go home.

While having lunch the next day, Alex comes to me with his own launch and he asks, “Want have launch with me?” I do not answer as he sits in front of me and shows me what he has brought. His launch has everything that any teenagers should like. I still eat my own food, trying to ignore him. Suddenly he gives me a fillet and smiles to me. “My Mom did it, and it tastes good,” he says. It is possibly the first time that any student at this school has given me their food to share.
Meanwhile, a pretty girl comes to us suddenly and glares at me, saying “he is mine; please do not talk to him!” I’m trying not to roll my eyes as I continue eating my food because it is not my business. Alex lets her go and apologizes to me. I just look at him blankly, saying nothing.
At night, Alex calls my cell phone and apologizes again. I still do not say anything. He says “why are you so quiet? I think I like this about you. Others are always loud and obnoxious.”
“Oh,” I reply.

“So, want to be my girlfriend?” he suggests.
“What?” Now I’m surprised. He’s so straightforward.
He insists, “I’m serious. I have no girl friend”.
“No” I try to turn him down because I know that we will break up anyway at the end because I am too quiet.
But he doesn’t give up. “Don’t answer me so quickly. I will ask you tomorrow”.
I do not want to do anything with somebody because I do not believe in anyone. Everyone has two faces and no one can be trusted. I decided to refuse him tomorrow.
On the third day, Alex really does as he said over the phone. He comes to my class and waits for me. Just as I’m about to refuse him, he states, “Do not reject me. I will do my best to be your boyfriend”. I do not know what I should do as I look at sincerity written on his face. My best friend is beside me, saying to him “Yes” and glancing at me with a smile. Alex then turns away and says “I will get you tomorrow, see you”. Just as I get my voice back to refuse him, he leaves.
Although my best friend responds to his invitation, I still do not want to be his girlfriend. After breakfast when I am walking out of my house, a voice whispers into my ear, “Hello beautiful, good morning”.
“Alex! Why are you here?” I want to be angry but I’m too confused.
Alex says, “I told you that I will get you today”.
I am even more puzzled, “But I do not promise you anything.” He looks like that he does not care about my refusal.
“You are my girlfriend. Don’t forget it. Come with me.” He flashes his smile as he pulls me to walk into his car. I’m still very quiet.

These days, Alex does everything with me and lets everyone know that we are dating. I still do not think that he is my boyfriend. However I gradually find myself talking more than before because he tries absolutely everything to make me happy: such as giving me flowers, telling me stories and so on.
After one week, he still keeps doing what he has done. For example, picking me up everyday before school, and having dinner and going home together. Finally, we go out to watch movie and buy something. I realize I have never felt this feeling before. As days pass by our relationship grows and I want to see him everyday. I am afraid that he will leave me one day. During these days, I have changed much from before. Even my best friend says “you are so different after you fall in love. Smile more than before.” It is true; I have changed thanks to him.
One day, I ask him, “Will you leave me one day?”
He looks at me “No, I love you. Why do you worry?”
I reply, “I do not want to be alone anymore.”
He assures me, “I promise you. I won’t leave you alone.” I am so happy. I do not think that the world is meaningless because I am in love.
Day after day, the end of semester is coming soon, which means that we have to graduate. I asked him before where he goes. But he does not answer me. And he does not look very good these days. I am wondering if something has happened to him. I do not ask him because he does not want to talk about it. This change frightens me.
Tonight, he calls my cell phone, “Alexia, I have to tell you something. But promise me, after you know the truth, do not be sad”.
“Ok”, I promise. Since he sounds so sad, how can I be sad as well? I want to cheer him up even though I feel from his voice that there might be something wrong.

He says, “Alexia, I have to leave here after graduation to another country with my family”. I do not say anything and wait for him to keep going.

He continues, “I have tried everything I can. But they didn’t allow me to stay here.” “That is a good thing. Why are you sad?” I tried to keep calm although my eyes have been filled with tears.
“You know, if I leave here, it means…I leave you.” Alex choked with sobs.
“Yeah, but the future is more important than me, right?” I feel that my heart break at my own words.
“I am sorry.”
I pretend to be alright. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” I turn off the cell phone because I do not believe that I can control myself from crying out if I keep talking. The world is cruel. I have just started to feel happiness, and it suddenly is taken away from me.
Later, when I meet him at school, I act normally. But he has changed; he does not talk with me. He just passes me by like the first time we met. I pretend to be happy in front of him. I think that he does not want to talk to me because he has to leave.
When the last day of the school comes, I find him and invite him out for dinner. I say “Thank you.” He does not look at me. “Because you let me know what happiness is. You made me see that the world is not meaningless. Thank you, and that’s all I want to say.” With these words, I have to leave here because I do not want to see his face anymore.
“Alexia, I am sorry.” He chokes. That is the end of us. At the beginning, I knew it would end. Why did I start this meaningless relationship? I feel alone in the world. It is clearer than before. I cry, and nobody sees me. They just pass me by.
I know that my love is fragile. A lot of things can break it. I should have been very careful. Or I should not have been accepted it at all. But there is no next time for me.
