She's just not that into you

Chapter 7: Ass

*RILEY'S POV*

I knock on Adele's door.

I'm in such a good mood.

Last night when she came to my game AND wore my jersey. I almost died.

She's so beautiful and i think she's warming up to me.

I knew she would.

I knock again.

No response.

I ring the doorbell and i lean down to look into the little camera.

Adele's voice echos through, "I've already left, Riley."

I turn around and see her car is gone. I didn't even notice.

Why would she leave? I thought we were making progress?

I wonder over to my pre-heated car and climb into it.

Why would she do this?

Tears form in my eyes and i try to push them away.

I shouldn't be this sensitive.

I know she doesn't like me. I know she isn't interested.

I wish we could be friends.

A tear drops down my cheek but i quickly wipe it. I take a deep breath and get the tears out my eyes.

I walk into school and i look around for Adele. She's at her locker leaning against it.

She looks at me and i smile but she just scowls and turns around opening her locker.

Oh.

I take a deep breathe and continue walking to my locker where my friends are.

"Hey." Alex nods.

"Hi." I say and open my locker.

"Did Adele not come with you this morning?" Scott asks.

I shake my head.

"Oh." All of them say synchronised.

"It's fine." I shrug.

"Are you sure? I mean you two were kind of getting closer."

It the hits me.

I turn around to them a smile spreading my lips.

"She's avoiding me because we were getting to close."

They nod.

"So there has to be reason for that, but it's easy. I just need to make her want to get close to me."

"How will you do that?" Corey frowns.

I smile, "Being myself."

"Oh god." They all sigh.
