Kiss Me

Chapter 8

"Ummm" a thousand thoughts were racing through my mind during those short seconds, as i was desperately trying to think of a way to get out of this situation. "Ummmm, well...I don't know..." i said akwardly to Mark. I watched helplessly as his face fell, and i felt sorry for him. "Actually, yes. I will go out with you." I had no idea why i said that, i didn't even like him! I only liked him as a good friend. Or did I?

I wasn't sure exactly why i said yes, only that i felt sorry for him. But when i saw his face light up, and his big smile, i knew that i had made a huge mistake. I barely knew him! And, everyone was wary of him, and, well, Aaron thinks that I'm HIS GIRL. Then Aaron  appeared. He looked at me and said "So...i guess you're going out with Mark now." I tried so hard to avoid his eyes, but i snuck one look at him, and he was looking right at me, with so much hurt and sadness in his eyes. I was crushed.

Aaron walked away with me feeling aful. I had hurt him, and he walked away. " lets go Seqouia." Mark said. "No. I don't want to be with you. I have no idea why i said yes, i don't even like you!!! So...I'm sorry. I just...no, i won't go out with you." I looked at Mark, and i watched his face fall, and his smile fade. "Oh. Okay." He said in a sad voice, then he hung his head and walked away.

After that day, i tried to talk to Aaron, but he just avoided me, and when he would see me, he walked away. And when i tried to talk to Mark, he would do the same. I felt defeated and weary. But then i got a chance to talk to Mark after school, we were waiting for our rides, and i decided to talk to him. "Hey, ummm, I'm sorry. About saying all of that the other day. I just...i don't know. I guess that i'm not ready, or something." I said in a tentative voice."I understand. You don't like me, you only like me as a friend. Yeah. I know." Mark wasn't looking at me while he said that. He then mumbled "I have to go. My ride is here. Bye" he then left. I felt even more down and angry at myself.

It continued like that for the rest of the week untill Friday after school. I was waiting for my ride, and then Aaron came into the foyer with me. I opened my mouth to say something to him, but he held up his hand to cut me off. "I know what you're going to say, but you don't have to say it. I know. Just...please, give me time. I need time to...think. okay?" He said in a stern voice. But i knew better. His eyes gave it away. He's still hurt and sad. "Okay" i said in a quiet voice. We didn't say anything after that. He left 10 minutes later.

I was shattered and crushed and mad at the same time. The guy who i only liked as a friend, hated me, and Aaron, who i have a HUGE crush on, needed time. I felt lost in the world of agony and anguish. Will they EVER talk to me again?
