The Devastatingly Hot Unattainable New Guy

Chapter Eight

"Why! Why didn't you say something to me, Cali?" The sound of my angry voice echoed off of the walls of the Princess Theatre bathroom. It had been a long time since I had been to the movies and I wasn't surprised to find that the old theater was still as dull and dingy as the last time I was there.

The bathroom was out-dated with different colored tiles on the walls, floors, and ceiling. The mirrors encased in gold frames would have looked beautiful if they weren't falling apart and chipped everywhere. Out of the five bathroom stalls, only two of them still had working locks on them; One didn't even have a door. The actual toilets were bright pink and the toilet paper was too thin. Despite how outdated the bathrooms were, at least they were extremely clean. Everything sparkled and smelled of lemon cleaner. I'm not sure how a place like this exists in a town like Selesity.

"I promise you Delanie I didn't know until we were already on our way here. I'm so sorry." I could tell by the look on Cali's face that she was being sincere.

"It just really fucking sucks that he is here and Josh isn't. Lisa and Bridget better get here soon." I sighed and started digging through my purse for lip gloss. Ever since I rolled out of bed, nothing has really gone right for me.

A group of us all had plans to come see a movie over the weekend and at first it thrilled me. Alex Fret, Amanda's crush of the month, was coming as her date and Cali was obviously going with Jason. Josh was supposed to come but ended up having a basketball tournament in the next town over. So instead of going as a fifth wheel, I invited Bridget and Lisa from my gym class so I wouldn't look like such a loser. Thank God I did otherwise I would have been fifth wheeling it with Jayden.

My phone started vibrating, and I anxiously dug around in my purse for it. I quickly answered it and had a brief conversation with Bridget that left my heart racing. Apparently on their way to the theater they witnessed a horrible accident and had to stick around to tell the police what happened. I acted concerned for them, asking if they were hurt blah blah blah, but in reality I was cursing them for leaving me in this situation. It looked like Jayden and I would be fifth wheeling it together. Great.

I wanted to scream so loudly that I burst the eardrums of every single person's in a ten-mile radius. Why do I have to be so unlucky? Maybe this was fate trying to tell me that no matter what I do, I can never escape Jayden and his good looks. Well, guess what I have to say to you 'fate' Jayden and I will never get along, as long as he is so self centered and full of himself I will never consider him a friend.

"They aren't coming." I said holding back the scream that I so desperately wanted to release. "Let's get this over with." I mumbled to Cali who was still looking apologetic.

Ten minutes later, we were all seated in the old theater waiting for the movie to start. Somehow I ended up sitting between Amanda and Jayden, seriously why do I have such horrible luck. My immediate reaction was to put up a wall to my right and shut him out completely. Considering Cali and Jason were on the other side of Jayden I had to look at him when I turned to talk to them while the previews were running.

I leaned over to laugh with Cali about something and I caught the scent of Jayden's cologne. I hated myself for doing it but I took another deep breath of it, damn it smelt good. My brain put a name to the scent, and I realized that he was wearing Versaci. I loved Versaci. It took all of my willpower not to snatch at his black t-shirt and breath in the sweet scent. Why did I have to sit next to him?

While he was looking over in Cali and Jason's direction I was staring at him thinking about, why. Why did he have to be so good looking? With those emerald green eyes that cut through to your heart like a knife. Why did he have to have his hair sticking up in that way that just made you want to run your hands through it? Why did he have to be wearing the best smelling cologne of all time? Why did he have to be a player? Why do I keep staring at him? Why am I smiling as I'm thinking about how cute he is? Why is he looking at me like that with that totally sexy smirk on his face? Why am I not looking away? Delanie look away! Look away, don't let him see how much you just let your guard down!
