I heard the door creak open so I spun around. Light hit my eyes and I couldn't tell who had opened the. Squinting, I saw a small girl with black hair and green eyes. I realized it had to be Chloe.

As I was letting go of Amber, Chloe left. Walking hurriedly away. I threw on my shirt leaving a stunned Amber inside the closet and finding Thomas and Minho outside. They looked disappointed but I didn't have time for that. I looked down the hall and saw her walking towards the door.

"Chloe! Chloe wait!" I'm not sure why, but I I knew that I had to follow her and talk to her.

She walked out as I started pushing through the students.

Eventually, I made it to the door and out. Chloe was sitting under a nearby tree. I walked over quietly, sitting across from her. Her eyes distant, not looking at me.

"Chloe?"

She looked over, shocked, like she hadn't known I was over here. Chloe's eyes went from cloudy and distant and back into a ball of wateriness.

"What do you want?"

"Why are you upset about Amber?"

Her eyes flickered anger and jealousy but only for a second. "Well why would you kiss me, just to kiss her the next day?"

I chuckled. "If you don't remember our kiss, you pushed me away."

"That's because you're going to die anyways. I don't want to get attached to something that I don't really care about. Something that will be gone soon." She snapped. "Can you blame me?"

"No..." I said slowly. I knew I was going to die but did she really need to point that out? Coming from Chloe, the words hit me hard.

"And I believed that we kissed I didn't take your fucking shirt off." Chloe stood up and started to walk off but I was already on my feet. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards me.

"Stop." She whined, sounding tired, then leaned her forehead on my shoulder. "Just please stop."

"I don't get why you're so upset."

"Imagine this; you're kissing someone you really like and you think that they like you back. Then you remember that they might die soon. You get afraid that they might actually die and you might get attached. So out of being scared and sad, you push them away and walk out. You like them so much that you feel really bad so you plan on apologizing the next day. But the next day you find them making out with someone else in a closet. Then you wonder why they even kissed you in the first place, because if they're kissing another person then they probably never even liked you, right?"

I looked down at Chloe but her head was still against my shoulder. Wrapping my arms around, I pull her into a hug. She starts to pull away but seems too tired and gives up, letting me hug her. I put my face into her hair and sigh. Hearing it like that sounded horrible. And the last part made me mad at myself. Mad that I made her think that.

"I do like you." I say into her hair.

"No you don't."

"Yes I bloody do."

"No you bloody don't," Chloe says imitating me. "You don't even know me."

"Sure I do."

"You've only known me for what? Five, four days?"

A silence came over us before I spoke.

"The second I met you I just...I just...I knew...."

"You met me because I ran after you like a crazy person the hallway." She try's to giggle lightly and I smile.

"There was just something about you."

This time Chloe looked up at me. Looking into her sad, green eyes I liked her more than I ever had before. Sure, I hadn't known her long but I really did like her. Love at first sight? I don't really believe in that but maybe...

Finally, Chloe hugged me back.

"I'm still mad at you. Are you and Amber, ya know..." She tried to ask awkwardly.

"I feel bad but I'll handle her." I tucked some of her hair behind her ear.

"Why did you kiss her?" This time she asked in a whisper.

"There's really no good explanation...I suppose I was just a little mad at you." Her arms around me loosened slightly at that but non the less, she kept them there.

"Because I didn't want to kiss you?"

I nodded.

This time her arms came undone and she stepped back. "I have to go to class. See you later." Then Chloe stood as high as she could on her tip-toes (she was so tiny and short), kissed my cheek and hurried off towards the school doors.

I wish that I would have told her more. That Amber didn't mean anything. That I wished I could take back what I had done. That she meant more to me than what I let on.

And I wondered if she would ever really forgive me on the inside.
