Loving You

Chapter Four

CHASE'S POV

I spent the whole of Saturday thinking about that girl, the one from the party. I didn't even know her name but she apparently knew mine and she only hung with Courtney once. I must be the biggest joke of the school. It wasn't a secret that Courtney dumped me but it also isn't a secret that am not over her yet. I hate myself for still loving her even when it's obvious that she enjoys my misery and loves to brag about it to anyone with ears. But something happened at that party on friday, I forgot everything that was Courtney, in those few minutes we spent talking about Courtney I wasn't thinking of her, I was thinking of the girl in front of trying to figure her out. Who is she? Why doesn't she like Courtney? Where did she come from? How come I didn't notice her before? Who is she? I needed to find out. What's intriguing is the fact that she seems to want stand up to Courtney, it's interesting I need to talk to her first thing on Monday morning but I need to find out who she is.
"Someone's at the door" my sister Stephanie told me still typing on her phone. I rolled my eyes at her and went to open the door. It was Nick, my best friend. Steph has had the biggest crush on him since she knew how to spell boys. Nick had a lot of girlfriends and I don't want him anywhere near my little sister. She devious and an annoying little devil but she still my sister and I love her besides Nick sees her as a little sister too so am not really bothered. Nick knows a lot hot girls in our school so he'll be too occupied to notice Steph. Wait, that's it. Nick knows a lot of people (girls), he might know her too.
"Aren't you gonna let me in" Nick asked, I had been too lost in my thoughts that I just opened the door and stood there
"Uh....... sorry, come on in" I said
"Dude are you ok?" He asked
"Uh yeah, sure, I wanna ask you something"
"What?" He asked
"Not here" I gestured towards my sister who was pretending to concentrate on phone, the screen light wasn't even on anymore "in my room" we both knew that whenever Nick walk in, out goes Steph's sanity. She's tried everything to try and get his attention and now she's taking her friend's advice and trying the idontcareanymore, it's supposed to make him realise he loves her. I shut the door when we entered
"So what is it?" I gestured for to be quiet as I put some music on. Wait wait wait I know what you are thinking but it isn't that. It's just extra precaution so Steph doesn't 'accidentally' overhear my discussion.
"Dude, what's with the music?" Nick asks sounding a bit alarmed
"Relax, its just so Steph doesn't overhear our conversation"
"So, whats this about?" Nick asks
"Oh nothing really" trying to play it off as causual "it's about a girl" I caught him rolling his eyes "its not Courtney" he looked liked he didn't believe me "I swear. I don't know her name but I need to talk to her. I just know she has honey blonde hair and bluish gray eyes and I met her at the party on Friday"
"Ok, should I even ask why you "need" to talk to her?" I shook my head "I know her, saw you talking to her the. Her name is Taylor, she just transferred to our school. If you're not going to me know why you need to talk to her at least answer me this, do you like her? He asked
"No" I said
"So you don't mind if I. ........ you know ask her out?" For some reason it bothered me.
"You never asks girls out plus she's really not your type" I said
"Dude, 'girl' is my type" Nick said
"Yeah, slutty girls. She's not slutty" I said
"Maybe she'll change me. She special, I just know it"
"You are not her type either" I said
"How would you know?" He asked
"I just do ok? Can we just stop arguing" he studied me for second and just gave up the argument
"So, does this mean you're over Courtney?" I was surprised at the sudden change of subject. He's been on my case to get over Courtney, he's even tried to help in his own way. He keeps trying to get me to hook up with some random girls, thanks for the offer but no.
"I haven't thought about her in a while so yeah I guess I'm over her" I said this to him too often, its so obvious it's a rehearsed line, you know incase anyone asks me how I feel about Courtney. I didn't want people to see me as a loser but Courtney obviously made it her job.
"Ok" Nick said.
Taylor, I thought to myself, I know her name now, the rest shouldn't be hard.
           *************
Later that night I thought about what I was going to say to her, rehearsed it too. I came up with a plan to help me get over Courtney but I'll need her help. She's probably the only girl willing to stand up to Courtney plus I didn't think of Courtney when we were talking at the party or even when I watched her dance with her friends. I seem to enjoy watching her and I can't wait to see her tomorrow. Nick promised to find out her class schedule so I'll know she'll be free, I already plan on talking to her before classes tomorrow and by the time she free she would have had time to think about it. That way I get my answer same day. Genius right? If she agrees to my plan it'll gimme time to try and figure her out. I have been curious about her since I met her, she makes me............ I don't know, want to forget about Courtney. I sighed and checked the time I was surprised to find that only a few minutes had passed. I sighed again wishing it was morning already. It's gonna a long night and am not if I can sleep through it.
