Only With You

She said

        “Fuck you Isabella!” Hannah shouted at me before yet another hard slap connected with my cheek. My head turned to the side with the force of her hit and my hand reached to cover my face almost as an instinct. She glared at me before storming out of the bathroom.  That one was in fact the fifth slap I earned that week; having one of the girls slapping me twice.

           

         It was now Monday and a week has passed since I talked to Aria. It was one crazy week, that’s for sure. By now, I have kissed four out of the five girls in the list. It was almost unrealistic, knowing that there’s one just one girl there and she was in fact the love of my life. I had found her, but my brain didn’t seem to process the fact that I did, because all I could do was robotically get out of the bathroom to find April outside of it.

           

        She had her little notepad in her hand and a pen in the other, looking at me with a curious yet expecting look. “So? What happened?” she asked.

           

        I just shook my head and dropped my hand from my cheek before walking past her to the stairs. This past week was a total chaos, and though I had practically found the ‘love of my life’, I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that from now on things would get either pretty easy or really hard. From this moment on everything was going to change forever. I guess I should have realized it way before this moment, but reality didn’t hit me until now; and it was hitting me really hard. I wasn’t ready for this.

           

        “Izzy?” April put her hand on my shoulder, stopping me. “Are you okay? What happened?”

           

         I shook my head again and continued walking ahead, reaching the door that leads to the school’s roof and getting out the door to look at the sky. “She wasn’t the one,” I mumbled to April.

           

        “So that means-”

           

        I cut her off, nodding as I finally looked at her. “Yeah, it means we already know who the one is.”

Flashback:

        It was Thursday afternoon and I was sitting in a table at the school library, waiting for Chelsea to come at any minute. Normally, I wouldn’t step into the creepy school’s library, but this was the only way I seemed to get to talk with Chelsea at all. She was what you could call a ‘nerd’; a really hot nerd at that. So, back to my point, she agreed to be tutoring me for a week to help me with a ‘math test’ –that didn’t really exist- and I was taking advantage of that time to get closer to her and maybe steal a kiss. Seeing as tomorrow is Friday, and the last day of the tutoring time, I decided to make a move today.

        Chelsea walked to the table and put the pile of books that was on her arms on the table. She looked at me and gave me a little smile while adjusting her glasses. “Hey Izzy, how are you?” she asked politely and took a seat by my side. 

        It was certainly cute the way she would be so shy and polite all the time. Chelsea will be, without any doubt, a great role model for her own kids- if she ever wants to have kids, that’s it- and she will make it really far.
