Layla's story

Ch18

When we finished with nurses office we walked to 6th hour. We were in the same class. It was quiet as we walked down the hall.
"Layla can I ask you something."
I stopped and looked at him.
"You can ask me anything Chris."
"Are you sure. I don't wanna invade your personal space." I giggled.
"Go ahead I'm listening."
I stood there and waited.
"How do you feel about me". I looked away. I could not tell him because I didn't know myself.
"I don't know Chris. I can't even tell myself."
"If you could would you be with me?"
I still didn't look at him. I did not have the courage to look him. I did not know if I loved him or I just liked him as a friend. I did not wanna take a chance to know yet.
"I can't tell you that just yet because I don't know myself. I have to figure it out before I tell you."
"Let me try something, maybe it will help you a little bit."
He got closer to me. I felt a unknown feeling rush through me. As he got closer I back up. I could not handle the feeling I got when I was closer to him. He had backed me into a wall. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe. I could feel his lips touch mine. Then I realized he was kissing me. My body felt a rush of heat. I got so nervous that my mind just froze. I did the first thing that came to mind. I pushed him away and ran. I got to the class room and explained why I was late she understood. I tried to see if Chris was in class but he was nowhere to be seen. I felt my heart crush into tiny pieces. I could not tell why I felt this way. I walked into the hall trying to figure it out. As I walked I heard someone trying to get my attention. I stopped and saw Rose standing in front of me.
"Where's Chris, Is he ok?"
She looked upset.
"Chris doesn't wanna talk to you right now."
I felt like I knew why but I couldn't figure it out.
"You broke his heart Layla".
"What do you mean." She shook her head.
"Do you get it, Chris likes you."
I felt the crush of my heart again. I understood completely know. He was trying to ask me if I liked him too.
"Rose I need to talk to him."
"Layla I can't."
"Rose please". She shook  her and head and looked away.
"He's at home, here's his address." She handed me a paper. I looked at it and put it in my pocket. She smiled at me and gave me a hug.
"Thank you Layla you helped him."
She ran to class. I did not know what she ment. I to my car and got in. I put the address in my phone and headed to Chris's house.
