Chapter 15

The weekend had been spent in deep thought and various sessions of connecting the dots. I really tried to come up with a conclusion for the big mess going on, but there was always a dead end. My feelings for him were scrabbled in different directions. I've never been good with decisions that take forever to be made, so it was frustrating the fuck out of me.

It was Monday morning, and I had been thinking about the semi conclusion I made. I'll admit I did in fact think Vic was attractive and whatnot, but when I really thought about wanting to be romantically involved with him, my mind went blank. Maybe it was because I didn't know what to think, or maybe it's because I didn't want Vic like that.

At the same time, I do question myself for actually kissing him. It's not like I had wanted that, but it felt right. Maybe it was in the heat of the moment.

Right now, I have decided to try to distance myself from him. I still need to sort this out before anything else happens. Now for the distance thing, I know it won't be easy since it will be inevitable to not see him. I'll just try my best not to communicate with him.

I texted Mike earlier and made a dumb excuse so I could get out of carpooling with them. I wonder what Vic will think about this, but I hope he understands.

As I walked to the bus stop, I felt paranoid that any moment Vic could pop up. His car was still in the driveway when I left which had me over the edge.

Every time I thought about Vic liking me, I had the biggest urge to just snicker at him. It just doesn't make sense unless he gives me an explanation, which will probably never happen. I honestly just want to settle this and get it over with.

When I got to school, I sneaked a quick glance of my group of friends at their usual spot. Mike was there, but Vic wasn't there which meant he could be anywhere. Nonetheless, I avoided them and walked to the small cafe the school had. I was lacking energy so I decided to buy myself an ice coffee.

My first class had been boring but at least I had Jenna for entertainment. I talked to her for most of the class but I hoped Mike didn't think I was ignoring him. It's not like I wanted to ignore him, but it just felt awkward. The most I could get out was a simple 'hello'.

What made this day even better was the fact that Jenna invited me over for lunch. I don't know why exactly, but if it got me out of seeing Vic I would surely do it. Even if I did sit with her, Vic was still just a few feet away. I could see him clearly from the group's table, and every once in a while I would catch his eyes. They would linger on me for a while before I would turn away.

Trying to ignore someone is impossible obviously, so I was bummed when it was time to go to french. I tried to act as casual as I could but in the inside, I was freaking out. He sat down beside me like nothing but I pretended to pay attention to the teacher.

"Today you will do a small activity with your partner. There are some flash cards on the desk and you will quiz each other on the name of colors in French. Then you will need to fill out the worksheet in front of you."

I mentally cursed at his words but picked up the pathetic flash cards anyway. There wasn't that many which meant we would get done with the activity quick, or at least I hope.

After the teacher was done talking, I turned to Vic without meeting his eyes and showed him the red flash card.

"Okay, what is the name of this one-"

"Why didn't you ride with us this morning?" Vic quickly cut me off mid sentence.

"Well I'm sorry, I didn't know I was obliged to ride with you every morning. My dear apologies." The sarcasm rolled off my tongue too fast for me to catch it.
