Fiction: Excerpt from "My Unlucky One," by Kira L

I’d received texts and voice messages from Hui a few hours ago. He'd been begging me for help, he had been attacked by a gang. I was running down the hallways of school, I had to help Hui. If only I didn’t spend so much time worrying about silly things, I would’ve seen his texts and calls earlier. Once I got out the school building, my stupid heels clicked and clacked down the concrete sidewalk. My long hair had never whipped behind me so fast, and once I reached the location where Hui had told me the gang had ambushed him, I couldn’t help but want to cry. There was Hui. Yes, I was happy he was safe but... There was someone else there with him. Yan, one of my best friends. Nobody else in the dark alleyway, just them, lip on lip, with the bright light from the street lamps shining down on them. I felt my heart pounding. I could feel my nails digging into my hands, and briefly looking down at them, I saw a drip of blood. Tears slowly developed in my eyes and began to roll down my cheeks. I didn't know what this feeling was. My lips were numb. What was this feeling?! Watching Yan and Hui pull away from their passionate kiss, I quickly turned around the corner. At this moment I realized two things.
One: I was jealous of Yan and Hui.


Two: I Juniper, loved Hui with all of my heart.
