Forbidden Love (Tristan Evans Fanfic)

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

My head felt crammed with thoughts as I restlessly tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

I sat up abruptly, the cover falling away to expose my night time attire - my ACDC shirt and pyjama shorts.

I picked my phone up off my bed side table and squinted when the light blinded me for a second.

00:38

I groaned and lay back down, annoyed that I knew I was going to be dead in the morning when the alarm clock rang for school.

I grew confused when I noticed that someone had text me without me knowing and saw an unknown number appear on the screen.

'hey hey hey, forgot to text you before, but it's ethan, hopefully see u at school tomorrow?:)'

I smiled at the screen.

He was so sweet.

I typed my reply quickly despite fearing that I might wake him.

'hey:) and sure, sleep well, see u tomorrow x'

I was surprised when he replied almost instantly with a smiley face emoji.

I guess I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.

I mulled over the past 12 hours and sighed heavily.

Why did everything have to be so complicated?

I had Connor being confusing as hell, Grace being weird at lunch, pathetic stupid school bitches hovering over my shoulder, that Ellesse girl giving me grief.

The list just never ended.

And then of course there was Tristan.

Tristan - the one who never left my mind.

One of the main reasons why I was currently sat wide awake, my thoughts running a marathon.

Why was he so confusing? One minute he tells me he likes me, then kisses me and says it shouldn't have happened? Then he confuses me even more by sending secretive smirks my way and then revealing his whole life story. Oh and then to top it all off nearly kisses me again and jumps away because he doesn't want to be seen with me.

How can one person make me want to punch myself in the throat all the time?

But then make me want to kiss him.

God it was going to be a long night.

--

I groaned loudly into the pillow when I faintly heard my alarm tone ringing.

I knew this was going to happen.

I threw my cover off in a huff, shivering heavily when I became exposed to my cold bedroom.

I didn't even feel like I'd slept.

I took a quick shower and dressed in my uniform, throwing my hair up into a pony tail.

I wasn't in the mood for dressing up.

I ran down the stairs when I noticed the time and found Connor stood in the kitchen.

I smiled warmly at him.

"Mia, you're up" he stated the obvious, his round eyes obviously shocked, "Do you want some breakfast?" I was already shaking my head as I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl.

"No time, come on, let's go" I hurried him out of the kitchen towards his car and shrugged my bag and blazer onto the floor of his front seat.

"How are you this morning?" he asked with concern lacing his words as he backed the car off the drive way.
