I'm not gonna bother you anymore after this

CHAPTER 4

"You've been stressing lately, haven't you?" He asked, after the waiter picked up our plates. I sigh, "A little bit." I chuckled. "Why, don't you?" I asked. He shook his head.

"You liar."

"Why would I lie about that, huh?"

"Because. No one is not stressed at all. It's impossible. You get stressed at something somehow."

"Uh, I get stress about you. How you don't like me at all. Not even one bit." He explained.

It crossed my mind like a speed of light. Why do I hate him? Is it the fact that he's been a jerk to almost every girl in school? He hasn't been a jerk to me. Ever. So why hate him? He never did anything to me, not one bit. And here I am, showing him that he's been the biggest bastard on earth when in fact there are others who have done things more than he ever did to most of the girls in our campus. I remained silent when he came closer.

"Sid, I don't get it. Why do you hate me so much?" He asked, looking at me with the most amazing eyes I've ever seen. I just can't hold it in. I like him now and I can't stop this feeling. He never did look away, he continued to look deeper until he could get the truth out of me.

"Riley, I better go. I'm sorry." I handed him my money, then I walked away, not noticing he came after me.

"Sid, please. I really like you." He held my hand.

"You think you could fool me, huh, Riley Manson?!"

He stared at me because obviously, he didn't have a clue. "What are you saying?" He questioned me. He questioned me. The one thing I couldn't stand. He acts as if he doesn't know anything going on. He acts as if he's unaware of girls going gaga over him. He acts like as if he knows nothing!

"Let me at least drive you home safely" He asked.

"No!" I shouted.

"Please, Sid! I'm not gonna bother you anymore after this..." He begged.

"Okay"

When his car stopped just in front of my house, I opened the car door, and tried to move out. "Sid, what's going on?" He asked as he grabbed my arm, trying to stop me from leaving.

"Let go!"

"No"

"I said, let go!"

"I don't understand what's wrong, Sid!"

"Let. Go." He did. I walked and went to my house, trying to forget about what happened today. I tried to forget his face when he saw me walking down the stairs. I tried to forget my face when I knew he called just so he can talk to me and see me. I tried to forget about him. Everything about him.

I went inside and shut the door behind me. "Looks like someone's been bitten by the love bug" Lyss teased. "Shut up. I don't like him"

"But you don't hate him"

"Shut up, Lyss!"

"You're in love!" She exclaimed.

Am I? Am I in love? No! I can't be. I hated him, remember? And I still do, don't I? But why am I feeling this way? That's it! I'm done! Time to end this.

I went outside but all I saw was an empty street. No one was there anymore. No one.

"You'd have to wait for Monday to see him, you know" Lyss said, leaning on the front door, getting her nails in shape while still having those panda eyes she had earlier.
