Just Friends

Chapter 6 {IDC}

I ran down the hall and burst open the door, tears steaming down my face uncontrollably.

I sat on the empty bench in the front of the school alone,crying my eyes out.
Why am I the only one?
The only one who can't be loved like everyone else?

I thought to myself.

Suddenly my phone vibrated

I expected it to be Roxy, saying she was on her way with Brooklyn and the others but I checked it anyways just in case

But it wasn't Roxanne

It was an Unknown Number

I shivered in the cold breeze and decided it would be safe to get up and go back inside but a part of me resisted so I stayed outside.

I opened the text

Why do you care so much? Why can't you except that its not your time to be in love yet? You're in the 8th grade Gabriella! You will find your prince one day just not today! Stop letting other people control your emotions so much!

I looked around knowing I wouldn't see anyone

My phone vibrated again
Now get back inside and have fun for a change, it's cold out there.-N

Out there

He said out there

Which means he's not outside
He's inside the school

I could have passed him a million times or mabye even talked to him and have no idea he may be stalking me

I shivered again

I wiped my eyes and turned around

But ended up running straight into Nathan
"Whoa why do you keep crashing into me like this?" He said in his deep voice

"H- how did you k-know I was out h-here?" I stuttered

"I didn't, its hot and crowded inside the gym, and everyone is sweaty now" he responded

"Where is Sky?" I questioned

"Inside with Lexi and Taylor dancing"

"Oh"

"Hey are you crying?" He asked, actually sounding a bit concerned

"Uh no I just..wanted to get away from the hot and crowded gym and I was sweaty too"

"Then it looks like your sweating from your eyes" he joked

"Whatever" I grinned

"But seriously why are you crying so much" he asked, leaning against the brick wall
