Confusing Love

Hunter Daniels

When I walk into the cafeteria I spot a table that all of my friends were sitting at, I walk over to them ''Hey guys'' I sit down, placing my lunch tray on the table. I look up to see Ryan staring at me awkwardly, I look at him and smile. ''So...I heard Hunter talked to you In English?'' Ryan mumbles, looking tired, and sad. ''Uh yeah, no big deal, just asked if my name was Emily, it wasn't a big deal so I don't understand why the girls told you...'' I look down at my sandwich, and don't feel so hungry anymore. ''I thought they should know!'' Elle protests.

I shrug and look at Ryan, who looked like he was about to punch someone. ''Are you alright?'' I whisper to Ryan, touching his hand lightly, but that looked like it just made it worse, because he draws back his hand like I had diseases. I stare at him, shocked. ''Um, okay then'' I mumble. I turn my head to see Hunter talking to his friends, laughing and joking around. The other guys were poking and teasing Hunter and looking over at our table. I must have imagined they were looking at our table. I turn my head back around to see Ryan looking at me, his cheeks red, and his eyes watery, and then he looked back down at his custard that he was eating.

''The day felt like it would never end'' I groan to Sabrina and Elle, as the bell goes for home time. ''Thank god it's Friday'' Elle mumbles. Sabrina turns to look at us ''let's go, my mum is waiting guys, and she looks like she's about to explode'' She grabs our hands and starts to run and we run with her. The wind is whipping my hair around like crazy, but I feel happy.

As soon as we're in Adrianna's room, we sit down on the comfy bean bags, and I sigh. But the talk about Hunter wasn't over, because as soon as we sit down, Adrianna starts talking about my crush with Hunter. ''So, when did Hunter move to our school?'' She asks, her eyebrow raising curiously. I look at her ''Year 6'' I mumble. Her eyebrows shoot up, and then she looks down and smiles. ''What's your problem'' I mumble under my breath. Hoping she didn't hear me. She didn't.

''Is it wrong that I don't like Adrianna that much'' I whisper to Elle when we're outside on the swings, while Sabrina is dipping her feet in the pool, and Adrianna is getting snacks. She shrugs ''I don't blame you for not liking her that much, but give her a chance before giving her the red card, okay?'' She says. I nod ''Okay'' I whisper, wiping sweat off my head.''Wow, its so hot out here want to go swimming?'' I ask loudly, making sure everyone hears. ''Yes, let's go swimming, did everyone bring their bikinis?'' Adrianna asks.

We all say yes, and go get dressed. Me and Elle walk out in our matching black and white bikinis that we went shopping for a few days ago. Sabrina walks out in blue and black shorts, and a black bikini. Then Adrianna walks out in a skimpy pink bikini. ''Let's go swimming!'' Adrianna yells, jumping into the pool. I smile at Elle and Sabrina, grab their hands and we do a run up and jump in altogether. If Adrianna was feeling left out from our jump in together, it didn't show on her face, and I didn't expect her to feel left out considering she didn't grab our hands before she jumped in, she jumped in by herself. An enormous smile was on Elle's face as she comes up for air.
