Let Me Love You

Chapter 5

Thanksgiving day

It sucks that we have school on thanksgiving! The top of the school board granted access because of our "grades" but at least it's a half day.
After that big incident about a month ago with the shooting I was so scared afterwards. I would try to avoid Jason, I don't know why. Jason's a great guy, I just don't want to be caught up in a gang life. He doesn't need me, he's is starting to get popular each day since he saved half of the schools life.

At school

"Selena give me my phone back!" I was wrestling my phone away from her as she scrolled through my contacts.

She was gonna call a guy I really don't like, i don't even know why he was in my contacts?

"Give it back bitch" I laughed trying to pull the iPhone from her tight grasp. "Never" she smiled with evilness still scrolling.

"No playing in the hallways, Ms. Mitchell and Ms. Hernandez." Said one of my core teachers she glared and walked pass us.

When Selena wasn't looking I grabbed the phone from her hand making her gasp. "Ha" i laughed in her face.

She glared at me and walked to her next class, drama which definitely suits her.

I grinned and went to my next class, English, it's in my top three favorite I guess.

I went to the back of the class, my seat in mostly ever class I have, and I sat down.

"Hey" Jason walked toward me and sat in the chair next me, his eyes had a confused look in them.

"Have you been ignoring me?" He asked pulling out a notebook. "You've been getting more popular, I didn't think you need me" I shrugged.

"Just because I have new friends doesn't mean I have to get rid of the old ones" he said wisely.

"I just don't want to get caught up in danger that's all" I blurted out, catching him off guard. He made a sympathetic face and frowned.

"I see" was all he said then he turned back around in his chair. He ended the conversation just like that and he didn't talk to me for the rest of the class.

I didn't want to make him feel like this around me. That he was dangerous and he can't even talk to me.

After Class

"Don't forget class, bring in those permission slips for the field trip to Paris." My teacher reminded.

Paris. The city of love..or is it the city of lights? Either way, Paris is magical and romantic. I was definitely going, not just to learn but to eat and see the sights.

Selena, Taylor, and I are rooming together, and Taylor is definitely sleeping on the floor after the party.

"Hey girl!" It was my bestie Taylor.

"Oh I haven't had the chance to tell you I'm sorry about the shooting, so by saying I'm sorry, I'll pay for the Paris trip." She giggled jumping up and down, then stopped when she noticed I wasn't jumping with her.

"Hell no, you can't pay for me. That's over 1,000 dollars." I shouted. I knew she was sorry but she can't pay for both of us, that's way too much.

"I'm paying Miley" she walked away to the cafeteria with me trying to catch up to her. "No way! That's way to much." I said.

"Not for me, I save my money" she smiled and sat down a our usually lunch table.

I gave up and slouched down in my seat. "What's up babe" Selena and Andrew walked in and sat at the table.

"Taylor is trying to pay for my part of the field trip" Taylor looked at Selena with a very innocent face.

"That's great, anyway, guess who asked me out?" She smiled taking a sip of her pumpkin spice latte that she gets everyday at Starbucks. "Because it's totally in season Miley!"

"Who?" I asked paying more attention by the second. Who would ask her out, no offense Selena.

"Jason." She said while taking a sip of her latte nervously. "Why? What did you say?" I asked losing my voice a little bit.

"Well....." She said dragging on the sentence. "You said he was a great guy, and by the way he saved our lives. So I said yes." She said.

I actual didn't know what to say to her, "congratulations Selena?" Or something like that. "Oh that's great, he is a good guy by the way." I gave her a fake smile.

I looked over at Jason's popular table, all of them laughing away. So much different compared to ours. He gave me a brief glance and went back to his conversation.

I sighed and picked at my food which I didn't feel like eating at all. Knots formed in my stomach as I tried to eat but I couldn't.

I faked laughed and smiled throughout the whole lunch period. I didn't know why I felt like this but I did.

At home

When I got home, mom was in the kitchen making thanksgiving dinner, nothing stops her. We also have a rule no one step foot in the kitchen, unless it's mom.

The restaurant wasn't opened today so I don't have to work today, which is a blessing. "School was great dad." I said with a bit of sarcasm in my voice.

"Doesn't sound like it." He walked into the living room and sat in the chair across from me.

I sighed deeply and closed the book I was reading, Paper Towns, Margo was so rebellious in this book. I wish I was like her, leaving all my worries behind.

"You wouldn't understand." I said observing his worried look.

"Try me." He walked over and sat next to me. He still wouldn't under because it's mostly about Jason.

"Well let's just say that your best friend is now going out with a guy she didn't like before." I said.

"How is this a problem?" I knew he wouldn't get it, he is a man he doesn't understand high school things like this.

"Because.... I don't know." I got up off the couch and began to pace around.

"It sounds like something personal Miles" he got up but I gestured him to sit back down.

"My mind is racing at 100 miles per hour" I put my fingers on my temples.

He sighed and patted the spot next to me and got me to sit down. "Well I'm no expert," he laughed.

"But clearly it seems like you like him." Not too bad for a beginner dad

"How is that possible? He just got here at least month ago."

I rubbed my forehead I'm a vigorously manner.

"I don't know that's for you too answer."

He pulled me in and kissed my forehead sweetly and left making me lightly smile.

I don't like Jason. I don't think.

There is something about him that makes me go crazy but, I don't know. I mean He's a great guy, it's just something makes me attracted to him.
