I Wish You Would

*Chapter 12*

Enjoy. :)

A note to all those who over analyse my character XD. Nathan and Jonathan have no relation to each other. The names don't. XD

******************************************************************

I stared at him, my mouth open in shock. "Wait what?" I asked him, still looking at him, my eyes wide open. "But we just met each other." I simply said, stating the obvious.

Jonathan simply ran his hands through his hair ad grinned sheepishly. "Okay, I admit. I suck at conversation. My words came out to quickly. What I actually meant is, wanna come out for a cup of coffee? You know, just get to know each other since we will be stuck around with each other for the next month." He stuck out his tongue in the most adorable way. But a wwhirlwind of emotions was going through my mind.

The hurt of Nathan having a girlfriend still stung, though that wasn't any fault of his. I just managed to fall for the wrong people every damn time. My heart felt as if it was being pulled in two parts. One half wanting to stay with Nathan, clinging on to the hope that I might have my chance, the other half wanting to get over him and go out with this cute guy. I decided to go with the evidently happier option.

"Coffee is fine. And don't freak me out like that. I know a Starbucks which is around a fifteen minute walk from here. We could go there."

"That's a good idea. Let's go tomorrow if you are free." He extended his hand. "Oh chuck the formality. Tomorrow it is. We can go together after I come home from school." I leant over and gave him a one shoulder squeeze.

That night, I went to bed, with a dull ache in my heart. I was confused. Couldn't know what to do. I loved Nathan, but he had a good steady relationship and I did not want to break that. But it also meant I had no chance with him. On the other hand, Jonathan was really sweet, cute, single and was turning out to be a good friend. But I did not want to come across as fickle minded. I decided to just bury my emotions and simply buried my head into my pillow and fell asleep.

"Kaylen! Get up! You are going to get late missy." I woke up groggily and stared at my alarm clock and nearly fell out of bed. It was 8 in the morning and I had to be in school by eight thirty. I rushed into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and had a bath. Just as I jumped out of the tub, I slipped on something and hit my head hard on the edge. I clutched my head groaning. That would give a nasty bump. I rushed out and pulled on a black t-shirt and jeans, tied my head into a messy bun and ran out of the house.

I reached my first class with seconds to spare, out of breath. My head was throbbing too much and I could see spots in front of my eyes. I ignored them. It was science and Nathan was staring at me with a weird expression.

"Are you sure you are okay Kaylen? You look pale." He asked, concerned. "its okay, Im fine. Just sleepy. Didn't sleep much at night." I dismissed his concerns with a brush of my hand and began to set up my microscope. It was true. I han't really had the best of sleep. I kept thinking of the day's event. I ended up finally falling asleep at four in the morning. Nathan shrugged and went to collect the slides the teacher was passing out.

The slides were those of pollen grains. We had to focus on them and draw the structures. I was focusing the microscope with a throbbing pain in my head. My vision was blurry and my hand kept shaking. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jerked up and found Nathan still looking at me.
