Chapter Four - Chemistry

Life has been shit. Not one day passes when I always see him ignoring my stares or snickering behind me. I try not to let my disappointment show, but my limits are about to burst.

After a month of Clapton ignoring me, he finally decided to confront me after school. I looked down at my cast, unwilling to show my burst of emotions - love, anger and confusion. It wasn't until he cleared his throat, that I looked up.

"Uh...Hi," his husky voice spoke.

"Hi," I squeaked.

"So. I was wondering if you needed a lift home?"

"I thought you were still playing house pet with your girlfriend," I grimaced. Clapton let out an annoyed sigh before turning around and walking back into the school.

"Forget it. I never should have asked," walking away clutching his fists. I couldn't help it. I wobbled as fast as I could towards him, arms waving around like a crazy person.

"Clapton! Wait!" In an instant he paused. I stopped, catching my breath before I spoke again.

"I'm sorry!" I say breathlessly. He slowly began to smile and walked towards me. He enveloped me into a hug and I smiled. I closed my eyes, welcoming the warmth and comfort he brought, but soon he pulled away. The moment was gone.

"So... Are you still up for a free ride?" he asked. I grinned happily before stepping on the front of the skateboard.

It was just like before, when Clapton would tease and pull my hair while skating down my street. I smiled in contempt, happy that he was still the same Clapton. I closed my eyes, feeling the wind in my hair. His arms slowly wrapped around my waist, making me lose my breath for a while. He pressed his body against me, his mouth close to my ear.

"We're here," he whispered. I slowly opened my eyes, lightly touching his arms. Immediately he pulled his hands away before stepping away from me. I frowned, before anger replaced me.

There goes the moment.

"Great. Thanks," I mutter before waddling towards my house.

I slammed the door before walking into my room and throwing myself on my bed. I couldn't be bothered to cry for the loss of my best friend and crush, I was too tired. There were too many times when I cried over him, hoping he would come bursting into my room and ask to be my boyfriend. I'll admit that I still love him, but for now I think I need to stop dreaming and starting living in reality. I need to live my life, even if it is at the cost of my Clapton.

Slowly waddling to school I began to think about the weekend. What was I going to do? Clapton and I always went to the movies on Saturday, but I guess that won't be happening.

I kept thinking about my depressing life, when a voice stopped me. I looked up to see Brandon, a total dickhead and a waste of space.

"What do you want Brandon?" I asked annoyed.

"Give me your money!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes, but he soon reached into his backpack and pulled out a knife. Shit.

"Fine!" I yell out, grabbing my money and throwing it at his face. "I haven't got time for this!" I muttered, before stalking past the school gates and towards my locker. I opened it, grabbing my chemistry book before I heard a group of girls talking loud enough for me.

"The new guy is here today," A blonde haired chick spoke.

"Yes! Apparently he is really hot..." The others agreed at the comment before walking off to their first class. I blinked in surprise. I didn't know a new guy was going to be coming to our school and better yet, who would even want to come to our school?
