Challenging 5 || Ollie Lynch

Of course that happened.

*Ami's pov*

Straightening my back I sigh. "Well I don't know what to do, any advice Mr Know-it-all."
"Hmmm." I sit there waiting whilst he gathered his thoughts. "Try surround yourself with more positive people even if it is just one or two."
"Easy said that done." I grimace.
"Yes, but right now you already have two." I scrunch my face, "What do you mean?"
"Maeve," He counts on his finger and then points himself.
"And me." I whisper to him, voicing his thoughts. ""And I' Actually." He corrects me. I shake my head laughing, "Whatever neek." Suddenly, I felt hands tickling my stomach. "N-n-no.. I can't.. I'm too ticklish!" I laugh hysterically. "Should have thought about that before calling me a neek!" He laughs back. "But y-you are... one!" He gasps staggering back and for a moment I think I messed it up. But then he jumps at me tickling me even more, "I know but it doesn't mean you have to tell me!"

We laugh around for a bit, pushing and teasing each other again and again. After 3 minutes we stop. I retake my spot in his arms and stare at the floor. Why would he do this if he didn’t like me? Staying after school for how long just to comfort me? Strange thing to do if he thought of me just as a friend, unless.. A thought popped into my head and a voice encouraged it. Listening to that uncontrolled voice, I raised my head up. Slowly turning round to meet my new friend's stare, I gulp. So this is it, one chance Ami, one chance. I blink through my eyelashes, scrape my lips with my teeth and mentally prepare myself for what I was about to do.

Leaning in, I close my eyes, just as how I've seen my brother do it. "Hey, hey." Ollie says leaning back so he didn't accept the kiss. "You okay? What you doing?" Fuck my actual life and the people living in it. This isn't happening, it fucking can't. What am I going to do? Think Ami, think. We need to reply with something, open up you gosh damn mouth and say something. Remember how to talk? "Er, um, haha." Was all that came out. Fuck. Me. "I know you are in a bad mental state right now-"
"Mental state?" I cut him off by saying. "Bad mental state? I ain't a mentally ill person you know!" I shout. He flinches and tries to reason but I wasn't hearing any of it. "No, no, that came out wrong. I meant after crying people can do things they-"
"Shut up Ollie! Rejecting me and then calling me mentally ill?"
"Ami, wait. Just listen to me." He tries to grab my arm. "Get off me!" I shrug him away. "I knew it was too good to be true, you are just like the others." I scream. He hastily grabs my bag. "Give that back." I snatch my school bag back. "And go run off and tell the others how 'blindness bitch' tried to kiss you." Tears stung my eyes. "Carter!" He yells trying to run after me. "Leave me Ollie, just please." No matter how fast I tried to run, he immediately caught up with me and grabbed my shoulders. "Ami, that's not what I meant, please believe me."
"Yeah, whatever Ollie." My eye twitched. "Please, are you okay?" He studies my face, searching for something. "As okay as I'll ever be!" I nervously laugh, working my way out of his clasp and running in the opposite direction. I swear I'll never recover from this. "See you tomorrow at school?" Little Lynchy said yelling out after me. "Sure!" I continue laughing. Yeah right, I'm going into hibernation after that and never coming back out, I mean unless it's for a crossiant... then I'll reconsider.
