Falling for Him

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

I'm still not over the kiss yet. It's been making me go crazy and be curious all weekend long. Does that mean we're dating? Does that mean he likes me? No, it was just a kiss. People kiss and they don't date. Right?

"Ally let's go! The bus is coming any minute!" I snap back into reality when my mom yells from downstairs.

"Coming!" I yell back, grabbing my stuff.

Speaking of my mom, she grounded me for a month. Aaron's kiss made it all worth it though. Ugh the kiss, I have to get that out of my mind. Somehow.

[I'm outside your house. Come out! The bus will be here any minute.-Audrey.]

I hurry downstairs, say bye to my mom, and run outside to meet up with Audrey.

"Why are you so happy on this very morning?" I ask, nudging her while smiling mischievously.

Her grin gets even wider than it was before, and she squeals as she says, 

"I met this boy at Gage's party. His name is Blaine and he's really tall. Hes got this really sexy short brown hair, brown eyes and he's really handsome. I have 3 classes with him, but we started talking at Gage's party and he asked me out. We went to the movies yesterday!"

"Oh my gosh Audrey! Congratulations!" I say giving her a tight hug. "I have to tell you something too."

Before another word leaves my mouth, the bus comes. We get on and take our seats, and I tell her everything that had happened beginning from Gage's party, until the magical kiss.

Throughout the explanation, she has expressions of shock, happiness, and sadness on her face. Shock because of what I did at Gage's party. Happy because of the kiss and my hangout with Aaron at the park. And sad because of what happened to Justin and I.

"Soooo are you guys officially dating now? We should double date sometime." She says enthusiasticly.

"He didn't ask me out..." I say blandly.

"He definitely likes you though, he's just waiting for the right moment! The only reason he asked me out before, was to to make you jealous, you know that right?"

My eyes widen when she says that. Aaron Carter asked my best friend out to make ME jealous? He sure succeeded. I smile to myself at the thought. I've never had a boy do anything for me, let alone make me jealous, and kiss me. For the whole way, Audrey talked about Blaine while I laid back, sprawled on the seat, and daydreamed about Aaron.

As we get off the bus, we meet up with Julia,Hayley, Farrah, Natalie and Elizabeth who are all giggling and talking with each other. Why was everyone so jumpy and happy today?

Turns out ALL of them got a boyfriend at Gage's party. Gage is like some charm worker to get everyone in the same place and change their status from 'single' to 'in a relationship'. I wish that happened to me.

Now I feel like a loner without a boyfriend. I decide not to join their crowd of happiness, so I go over to Sasha instead. Also because we will be heading to first period together, so might as well talk with her now.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey. How was your weekend?"

"Good..." I was about to tell her about my kiss with Aaron, but he walks by us and Sasha says, "Hi Aaron!" but he just walks right by us. No eye contact what so ever.

"What was that all about? He never ignores us." Sasha says sadly.

"I don't know..." I say honestly.

The bell rings and everyone scurries to first period.

Today is the first day I see Justin after our break up. I was about to enter the classroom, but Justin was too. Two people can't fit into the tiny door of the school at the same time, so we stand awkwardly there staring at each other, until he breaks the silence and says, "Go ahead."

I give him a small smile and walk to my seat. A minute later, Aaron walks in and still didn't give me eye contact. Why was he ignoring me? Was I that bad of a kisser? He would usually walk in, look at me and give me his seducing smile.

First period was over and I have to go to math next. Usually I wait for Aaron to get his stuff put away, so we can both go to math together. But today, once the bell rings, he rapidly gets out of his chair and speed walks towards the door. My heart sinks.

I walk into math and look at the seats that belong to Aaron and I. He isn't there. The late bell rings and I sit all alone in math today. Whatever he's doing, he's making me sad.

After math, I go to lunch.  

"Hey what's with the glum look?" I turn around to see Noelle looking worried.

"It's nothing..." I say.

"You have the same look you had when I saw you at the park, crying. What's wrong? Did Aaron ask out another girl again?" She asks.

"No... It's just..." Before I can finish telling her, someone bumps into me and makes them drop their lunch.

It's Aaron. His food gets all over his football jersey. (There is a football game at school today and they're require to wear their jersey)

"What is wrong with you? Do you know I have a game today, and now I got this shit all over me" He says meanly.

My eyes widen and I feel l just got stabbed in the heart.

"Hey back off you dick. It was an accident." Noelle says rudely, but calmly to him.

"You expect me to calm down? The coach will kill me now! That clumsy bitch just ruins my jersey." He says and is about to leave.

Before he has a chance to leave, I walk right up to him and slap him across his face as hard as I can.

"Mosquito! Bitch." I say as I storm out of the cafeteria. I don't even bother looking back at him or everyone else who's staring at me. I don't even care what people are saying about me. He called me a clumsy bitch in front of everyone in lunch and that's not ok with me. He can rot in hell.

Aaron's POV

I was frozen at the spot after Ally had slapped me. I guess I deserved it. But she didn't have to do that in front of everyone in lunch. Everyone was looking at me with glares. Noelle gives me a disapproving look before she goes and runs after Ally.

When she slapped me, it actually hurt. It hurt both my cheek and my heart. I didn't expect her to do that. Before you guys think I'm a dick, I'll tell you why I was ignoring her and being rude.

After our first kiss, I keep thinking she doesn't like me, and that she didn't want me to kiss her. So I decide to keep away from her as much as possible. I want to see if its meant to be like the term, "If you like someone set them free, and if they come back, it's meant to be." I decide to take on that quote so that's what I'm doing. I also don't deserve her. She can do so much better than me, I'm an asshole.

But what I just did to her in the cafeteria was way out of hand. I did deserve her slap. I am such a dick. She DOES deserve better than me. I don't know what I was thinking to yell at her and be extremely rude. But not that rude... Now it's definitely not meant to be. She hates me now.
