Anaxiphilia

Chapter Ten

My mind got frozen. I was shocked. Me? Dylan has a crush on me?

<Isla? You there?

>um..uh..yeah yeah. Since when did you start 'liking' me?

<Its been a while, but I didn't know how to tell you. That was why I asked callum for your number

>Does anyone know about this?

<Not really

>Not even Heather or Callum?

<No

>Ok...how did it start?

<One time at school, Callum and your cousin Samuel were talking and then your name came into the conversation, and I just became interested

>Dylan that's not true

<It is. For real

>No. How on earth do you hear someone's name for the first time and then start crushing?

<Because I found your name to be cute. So when I got your picture from someone, I liked you even more

>You got my picture!? From who?! Frome where?!

<I can't tell you that. But someone secretly took a picture of you and sent it to me

>Oh my goodness

<I couldn't tell Samuel because I knew he wouldn't agree and Callum wouldn't care. So I just took your number and decided to tell you myself

>This is just unbelievable

<So...I was hoping that maybe, we could be a couple..?

>Ok hold it right there mister. We just started talking not long ago, I don't even know if I can call us friends, and you're thinking about a relationship?

<You're right. I'm sorry

>You know what? It's late, and this conversation is most likely to let me have nightmares. So we'll talk tomorrow. Goodnight

<Um..sure. goodnight Isla.

     I left his chat and went straight to Samuel's. I took a screenshot of my texts  with Dylan and sent it to him. He took time before replying. I'm sure he was asleep. He replied after 30 minutes and boy was he pissed. He called me and we spoke about the issue, asking me what I was going to do, but I didnt know.

       He told me he had a feeling Dylan was lying to me and to not believe him at all. Even though they were friends..well kind of friends, but he didn't trust him at all. "Just get some sleep and we'll talk about this tomorrow ok? Dont stress over it" he told me. I said ok, ended the call and slept.

      The next day, I woke up to see texts from Dylan and Raphael. I felt like I was in a movie or some kind of novel where the main character was caught in a love triangle. First Raphael and now Dylan. Honestly, if I were to choose, I would choose Raphael. I don't know why, but I just had a feeling Dylan would just not be the one for me. Even though Raphael and I haven't known each other for that long, at least he wasted a playboy...I hoped.

      Dylan's texts were just him saying good morning and Raphael's was almost the same. Just romantic. I reluctantly replied Dylan's and replied Raphael's as well. Speaking of those two, I needed to tell Tristan about Dylan. I asked whether he was home and he said yes so I went to his house.

    "...........Dylan said what?!" Yep. I knew everyone was going to be shocked. "How? Why? When? What??". So I had to explain everything to him and he was just as confused as I was. "So what did you tell him?" "He asked me to be in a relationship with him and I told him no and then slept" "oh ok. What about Samuel? Have you told him?" "Yes. He was pissed, but then he said we'll talk about it today" "anyone else?"

     "No. But I'm thinking of telling Callum since they're almost best friends" "ok that's ok". We spent the rest of the time together but I did notice that he was a bit off. Whenever I asked, he would say it's nothing so I just let him be. It was 5pm and I decided to go home. On the way home, Raphael called me to saying he was just checking up on  me and all that.

       For some reason, I just felt sick. Everything was stressing me out. It was giving me a whole lot of headache. And I felt dizzy. I managed to get home and I just did my night routine, and switched off my phone because I didn't want anybody to disturb me. Then I slept.
