Confused?¿
Derek's POV:
So been about a month since we got back from Christmas break and I guess things have been going well. Well kinda.
Me and Natalie have been talking a lot and I like her a lot. She's really sweet and she has a genuine personality. She's so funny and I like her.
But there's a problem.
I'm not over Christina.
I know, totally a jerk move. But I don't know what to do. I thought Christina was the one for me the moment I saw her, and I still do....but now there's Natalie. And she's beautiful and everything you could want and I like her. I just don't know who I like more.
You see my issue?
I first started flirting with Natalie to get 'revenge' on Christina, but now I don't know if it's still like that.
But there's something else on my mind too..Christina told me she was jealous. And I don't know why.
I guess you can say I'm kinda in a predicament here. Oh gosh.
Well anyway, it's Saturday and we all planned to hang out at the Mall, Mike included this time, so I'm here and I'm waiting by the fountain.
I see Christina and Mike first so I get up and walk over to them.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I ask. I'm not gonna lie, there's a lot of tension between me and Mike and it sucks because he's a chill kid. I guess things just aren't so great between us. Plus I still get jealous so that doesn't help either.
"Hey! Where's Natalie? Wasn't she coming with you?" Christina asks with a smile that's not her usual one. This is her 'jealous' smile I guess you would call it. She normally doesn't show it but I can read her better than she can read herself. Something is definitely bothering her.
"Oh yeah, she's coming. She just had to wait for her mom to get home from the doctor because she had to watch her little brother." I explain and Rey nod their heads. Just in time, Kiara and Shane walk into the mall. Elysa and Pat aren't coming.
"Hola!" Kiara waves and Shane smiles at us.
"Hey!" Me and Christina say at the same time. We look at each other awkwardly and then turn away. This shouldn't be this weird, she's my best friend.
"Okay so we're just waiting for Natalie now, right?" Mike asks and we all nod.
"Yeah she just texted me. She's on the elevator now, she should be here soon." I tell them and they nod again. Just as I finish talking she walks in through the doors. She's so pretty. I really need to make up my mind here.
"Hi!" Natalie says and she makes her way over to us. "You must be Mike, nice to meet you! Christina has told me a lot about you!" Natalie says as she shakes Mike's hand.
"It's nice to meet you too, Christina talks about you a lot too. All good things." Mike replies and wraps his arm around Christina. I can't help but feel a pan of jealousy. I really need to get over her. We tried and it didn't work out. She's my bestest friend and that's all it's gonna be. I need to accept this and focus on Natalie.
"So lets go eat!" Shane says with a fist pump and we all laugh. We all split into groups so we can go to different places and meet back at a table with our foods. I go with Christina, only because we both like Wendy's. Mike goes with Shane and Kiara goes with Natalie.
"So..." Christina says as we wait on a long, long, long line for our food. Just great.
"So...." I say and we kinda just stand there awkwardly for a few seconds.
