Night Changes [Completed]

Chapter Eighteen

I sat down surprised on what was there in front of me.

"I never imagined a jock like you to you know..." I said.

"Paint I know. Nobody does. That's why its a secret." He whispers in my ear dangerously close.

"Then why don't you tell anyone? You are excellent." I said turning around to look at him towering over me.

"Thanks. But I dont know why I don't." He said.

I sighed. "You should"

"You should too"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I said.

"You should tell people that you paint. I was surprised when I got to know that."

I smiled. "Well I don't paint anymore so it doesn't matter."

"You should paint also"

"But I swore not to"

"You should not punish yourself so much, it wasn't your fault that your parents died."

"Easier said than done. I know it was my fault." I said

"It wasn't. You were forced to believe it was your fault."

I shrugged and looked at the painting of a scenery of London. It had a red double decker bus and it was raining. Typical of London.

"This painting is lovely. You made it by memory?" I asked.

"Ya"

"You miss England don't you?"

"Kind of ya"

I smiled at him. "Its getting late I gotta go home now"

He nodded and we walked home silently this time.

We reached the door and I turned around to look at him. It somehow reminded me of a teen film scene, in which normally the guy and girl kissed in the doorway before departing.

I wondered how it would be to kiss him?

But then again, he was a player and I was just a random girl, his brother's best friend. He could be playing with me. Who knew?

Nevertheless, I rose on my toes and kissed his cheek and then walked to the door not looking back at him.

"What was that for?" Chris asked.

I smiled, "For not changing your behavior towards me."

He muttered something and then running his hands through his hair, he walked away. A smirk was playing on his face.

I walked into my room humming a tune. After I was in my pajamas I lay down on my bed. The only thought playing on my mind was of his paintings and why he never told anyone he liked it.

His perfect face came in front of my eyes and I couldn't help but admire his looks. There was something totally wrong with me. I had to stop thinking about him.

My phone buzzed, a message; I opened it.

Chris: Goodnight babe. Dream about me all you want I won't stop you ;)

I smiled at the message but didn't reply.

8th June

I woke up and went through my normal routine. Alex again dropped me and my brother to school. I guess it had become official. I don't know.

"I like that kid" Alex says suddenly.

"Who kid?" Jo asks.

"Chris" I said.

"Oooh so lily is in love with him" Jo said.

"No I'm not. If you say that again your sorry little ass will be in trouble." I snapped.

Jo and Alex both started laughing.

I got down and went towards my locker. Since two days Chris hadn't come to school. Weird. Was he ill? I'll ask Connor.

Ariana was coming towards me after betraying me yesterday. I frowned at her.

"I'm so sorry Lil that I didn't come yesterday. I was with Percy."

"Oh so you were bunking school with Percy? No wonder I didn't see him yesterday." Connor said appearing from nowhere.

"Ya he didnt come to school yesterday." I said.

And then we both were teasing Ariana while she blushed like crazy.

"Um Connor? Where is Chris for the past two days?" I asked suddenly remembering my doubt.

"Ask him I don't know he says he had work to do. He has come today." Connor replied.

I smiled at him and spotted Chris coming towards us.

"Hey why didn't you come for two days?" I asked him.

"Hey babe, you're missing me so much? Awww good to know." he said.

"You still did not answer my question." I replied bluntly.

"I had some work to complete" Chris said. "Have you spoken to Meg?"

I shook my head, "No she didn't pick up her phone. That idiot"

"Meg? As in lily's best friend in India?" Ariana asked.

I nodded. We went to our classes.
During lunch I was crossing the field when this guy came up to me. I guess I've seen him somewhere before I dont know.

"Erinnerst du dich an mich?" he says. His voice is also similar. Who is he?

"What? I'm sorry I don't understand german." I say.

"If you don't understand German why are you living here? I asked do you remember me?" He says annoyed.

God he was rude! "No I don't remember you. What would I do remembering about jerks like you?"

"I saved you in the party where Summer pushed you in the pool darling" he says.

Oh now I remember! He offered me drinks. But I didn't know his name. Had he told me his name?

"What's your name?" I ask him.

"Jesse Adams and aren't you Lily?" he asked.

He knew my name. Wow!

I nodded. He held my arm and pulled me towards the corner.

"What are you doing?" I hiss.

He doesn't say anything but comes real close. I didn't like it. I tried to push him away but he bends down to kiss me neck. Eww! I tried to push him again.

"Stop that darling, I'm not gonna kill you" he says softly.

"Stop Jesse, get away from me" I said shoving him back harshly.

He retreats surprised. "Well didn't you get an ego going around with that popular junior?"

"I am a junior. And ya I go out with him any problem?" I snap.

"But I'm a senior and I'm stronger than him" he says coming close to me again.

God help me. I hate this. This is what the guy wanted that day?

Then suddenly someone pulls him back and punches him on the face. I sigh in relief and look at who it is...

*****

Haha! Guess who it might be???
