Afraid To Love Again

Chapter 10 - First lesson

After school, Amelia and I went over to her place to hang out in her room. But today was just ordinary and boring. She was on her phone the entire time.
I peeked to see what the fuss was about.
Guess Max also asked for her number.

Gosh.

"Are you just going to be texting him the entire time?", I asked with annoyance evident on my face

"I guess so"

"Then why did you ask me to hang out, you should have asked him instead. I'm leaving". I dramatically hoped off the bed where I was sitting

Amelia pulled my hand as I was about to walk away making me sit back down on her bed. She didn't take her eyes off the phone until after a minute she turned off her phone and put it on her bed facing downwards.

"Fine, I'll text him later. I'm still mad at you, you know that right?"

"What did I do?" I sounded as if I was being accused of a serious offense

"I had to find out from Kendricks that you two were dating?"

"Listen_"

"I mean how?When did this happen? Who made the first move? Oh my gosh. Have you had your first k_"

"It's not real, Amelia!"

"What do you mean it's not real?" She asked in a confused manner

"It was all Kendrick's idea, to make Chloe jealous"

"I'm confused. What happened?"

I told her the whole thing, and I had never seen her pay attention to me this much before.

"And that's how I'm in this situation", I said wrapping up the story.

"Hot tea"

"Don't you dare tell anyone else about this. I wasn't actually supposed to tell anyone but_"

"It's okay, I won't tell a soul"

"What?You really won't? Are you sure?"

"I said I won't tell anyone. Don't you trust me?"

"I don't know, I mean I do. I do trust you" I said as I looked at the door behind Amelia.

"Are you okay?" She asked me with concern but I could also sense she was a little confused about my behavior all of a sudden

"Yes. I just had a glimpse of the past, I guess", I said wiping off the tear that managed to flow down my face.

Amelia is good at keeping secrets. She still knows and kept all the secrets that I told her and probably the ones I forgot about.

"Don't worry. My lips are sealed", she said sealing her lips with an imaginary zipper.

"Okay"

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you. Max and I are going shopping for our prom outfits tomorrow after school. You and Kendricks can come along too"

"I don't know_"
My phone started ringing.

"Who is it? Answer it", Amelia said.

I disconnected the call and looked at Amelia.

"It's just Kendricks, he just wants to annoy me again"

"What if it's important?"

"I'm sure it is not that imp_ Gosh he's calling again"

I gave in and answered the call.

Mr Stalker
Calling...
