High Hopes (Chris Motionless)

Unbelieveable

"Evie I can't believe I kissed him, I mean, it just happened, and I....I don't regret it." I say as we walk out of Starbucks.

"Does he regret it? He'd be a total idiot if he did. Captain of the swim team, now you're on varsity volleyball ." she beamed. We hoped in my car and drove to school. It was a beautiful morning I might add. We made small talk and I parked in my everyday spot.

"Hey, Bella!"

"Hey, Anna!" I shouted back from afar.

"So are you gonna talk to him?"

"Of course I am. I can't just ignore him like that." she nodded and I kept quiet. "Ok don't talk here he comes."

"Seeya"

"No wait!" I cried and she left. I huffed and folded my arms in annoyance.

"Hey Bels,"

I smiled.

Is...is everything okay?" He asks. No! Everything isn't okay! OKAY!?

"Yeah" I hesitated. I lied. I lied to myself. I don't like him, so why did I kiss him? What am I thinking I am in love with him! Well, not that love, the love where I'm in love with the crush I have on him. That love.

"You're lying,"

"We..we should walk to class." I say beginning to walk, Chris following close behind. Why am I freaking out!

"Is this about the kiss?" He grabs my wrist and pulls me in front of him.

I shake my head.

"Hey, Bella!" says an unknown name.

I throw on a fake smile and say hello back. "Then what is this about."

"What is what about?" I ask. I completely knew what he was talking about, I was playing dumb.

"Okay fine whatever. I'll see you around Arabella." No wait, come back! That's what I should've said. I couldn't though. I could feel that he didn't regret that kiss. So why was I hurting him like this?

----------------------------------------------

"Bye, guys. See you Monday! Come on Dev!"

"Bye Devin!" my friends shouted in unison. He said his goodbyes to them and we drove to my house to hang. He was the new kid this week, the same day Chris and I stopped talking. He's his replacement so he usual keeps my mind off of him. He's becoming really popular around the school, because of my friends and I.

We enter my house and hang our coats up in the closet near the door.

"Hey, Mom, hey Dad," I greet them and we go up to my room after Devin makes small talk with them after a while.

"I'm gonna buy you a guinea pig. I don't care if you'll like it or not."

"Why? Why won't you buy it for yourself?" I smile combing my hair in my vanity seat.

"Cause if it's over here, I get to be here more often. But only because of your awesome house."

"Okay so you're just using me for my house?" I laugh.

"No! I just...value our friendship, even though we just met on Monday. You're...special,"

"Well thank you Dev. Our friendship means the world to me....already." he laughs making me laugh. His teeth are amazing.

We watch movies for a while and notice he's sleeping and....and snoring. I slap him and laugh loudly.

"God fucking dammit Bels!" he yells holding his face. "That hurt."

I pout with him and lead him to my balcony. "Look at the moon. It's so pretty, that's why I woke you up."

"Ooh it's so pretty!" he says sarcastically. "Can I go back to sleep now?"

"Fine,"

He strips down into his briefs and I huff. I kinda miss Chris. I don't expect Devin to keep my mind off of him any longer. I bury my head with my arms on my vanity and plug my earbuds into my ears.

"You okay over there?"

"MmmMmm" I mumble, like a big baby persay.

"You need a hug?"

"MmmHmm" he comes over to me and lift me bringing me into a hug. His arms around my waist tightly, my arms around his neck. He squeezes a little tighter and sways us.

"Better?" he asks running his fingers through my hair. I nod and sit back down at my vanity to remove my makeup. Devin sleeps while I stay awake a bit longer.

Chris POV

I miss her. I miss her. She's the only thing running through my head right now.
