(Book 1) High School Crush: Not Meant To Be

Love is.. (23)

I cried on my bed and the tears were endless. Do I know if I made the right choice? Was it the wrong one? Whatever it was, I still couldn't shake it off.

"What have I done!" I cried out in my mother's arms.

"Shhh, it's okay. He was no good anyway. Flirting with everyone isn't someone you want to have close. It comes with baggage,"

"But I can't shake the feeling that I'm losing everyone! I hate this school! I want to start over!"

"You know you can't do that." I wiped my face and looked up at her.

"Can we move again?"

"Amanda,"

"This move was the benefit of you and dad, but this time, do it for the benefit of me. Give me another chance, just one more,"

"Amanda I don't know if-,"

"Please mom,"

"Here's what I want you to do. I want you to relax and get some sleep. You'll have your head on straight for tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow? I don't want to go to school tomorrow,"

"Homecoming is coming up soon. Use that as a distraction. Find a friend to go shopping with, and I'll drop you off, deal? Some retail therapy,"

I nodded my head and she gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Sweet dreams sweetheart." And with that she left the room.

Sweetheart..

"Why'd she call me your man? Have you been talking about me?" He asked putting his arm around me. "I knew it, you like me,"

"Shut up,"

"You didn't deny it!"

"You are way too excited,"

He coughed. "Nah I'm cool, I'm cool," he was silent, his arm still around me, looking at his phone. He opened his messages and me being nosey had to try and look over to see what he has me as in his phone.

My Sweetheart 😊❤️

"Hey!" We both looked back but I didn't look back fast enough because Cassie turned me right back around and started to walk faster. "Who was it?"

Suddenly we were grabbed by our back packs and stopped. "Aw, are you really running away from me? Did I make a bad first impression sweetheart?"

Sweetheart.

Ever since that day I couldn't get him out of my head. How could I? It's like a part of my life was taken out of me. I didn't realize how much he was around until he wasn't around as much.

I want to say it bothers him too, but I wouldn't know. He went on with his day like we never met. Like it was the first day.

My phone buzzed and it was a notification from Twitter.

I_Know_It_All101: Looks like some sparks were made without me. Just made my job a whole lot easier.

And under it was a picture of an empty table with "New Girl?" above where I would be sitting and "Zac?" above where he would be next to me. I guess people are starting to notice. Especially since she called it to attention.

"I'm guessing the conversation with Zac didn't end so well?" Kiakimé asked.

"No, I think I might've messed up a little," I answered.
