Chapter 29- Routine
Paige's POV
I go through the whole entire day, moping around. Robbie and I at odds with each other about multiple different things, Carmen and I haven't been the same since her and Wyatt got together, and I'm slowly loosing my mind falling for Jake Lincoln. Even Mr. Parker's class is boring, I'm just not in the mood for anything. He even asks me if I'm still not feeling good, since he was th one who stopped by yesterday to see if I was okay or not. I tell him I'm just tired which isn't a lie. I am tired. Not sleepy tired, but just tired of all the drama that seems to be around me at the moment.
Robbie is still complaining about the kiss, even though Mrs. Oliver said it was fine. He thinks, that I'm being childish about it, maybe I am, but for me it's just weird to kiss him. He also hasn't completely gotten over me tutoring Jake, and it's making him jealous. Even though I've told him nothing is going on I'm just tutoring him. That is a total lie, but he doesn't know that for sure. I would prefer he not know anyways. I don't want anyone knowing what's happened between Jake and I until Jake and I figured it out ourselves. I personally don't want anyone knowing anything, but if Jake and I end up a couple... then people will find out. I don't want a secret relationship. I don't know what he thinks though.
"Paige? Have you heard a word I have said?" Mr. Parker asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
"No.. I'm sorry." I say, sitting up straight and looking at th board. Get with it Easton, you've got school and that is more important. I pay extra close attention the rest of class, making sure to take thorough notes. Once class is over, I grab things for Jake's session, and I go to the library. He comes in a couple minutes later, and I can see homework is the last thing he wants to be doing. Before he can launch into any long conversations that could make me cry or make me mad, I begin explaining the worksheet. He sits next to me letting out a sigh. He goes through the work, and it seems we're finished in only thirty minutes. I already have my things all put away and ready to go, that way I can make a clean and quick escape. "Alright... see you tomorrow." I say, going for the door. I don't want to have this conversation. It's gonna break my heart!
"We need to talk about this!" He says grabbing me, his eyes burning with desire and need.
"I can't keep doing this." I say, "We both know what happens now that you've gotten what you wanted.. just let it be."
"Paige, I can't just let it be." He says, pulling me in closer.
"Why not!?" I say looking up at him. "I don't know what you want from me, or if you even want anything from me! I think... we need some space... to figure things out." I finish, he lets go of my arm. I turn and leave, he has nothing to say. Sitting in my car at my dorms parking lot I decide what I should do. I don't have homework, other then drama. I ned to create the dance. Throwing my bag on the floor I change into proper dance attire, and go to the gym. Playing the song on my phone through the speakers, I listen tryingto figure out how to really make a dance for it. I have to be able to sing it while dancing too, so it can't be to difficult. I try a couple little things here and there trying to figure it out, but I come up empty handed. Megera wasn't know for her dancing, she was known for her attitude. Dancing with attitude. Hmmmm....
****
"Knock knock." I hear Mr. Parker, I stop in the middle of a practice run. "Sorry... I just thought you should eat.." He holds up a to go bag from the diner.
"How'd you know I was here?" I ask, turning down the volume.
"Well, your car has been in the parking lot for the past couple hours..." He smiles, and I nod makes since. "What are you doing here anyways?" he hands over the bag.
