Some Serious Chemistry

Chapter 12

Kylie's POV

I couldn't believe this guy. Wasn't he practically announcing his love for me in Mandarin earlier? Why was he around all those girls now? I should know better than to believe his lies...I was probably just a girl he decided to hit on for fun. That really hurt for some reason...

I glared at his back and fumed. "Jerk."

Trish looked at me pointedly. "You can't blame him, you know. I mean, the guy's hot and you just rejected him. What's he supposed to do? Act depressed?"

Yes! I wanted to scream. He was! I know it was selfish of me since I rejected him and all but still. I didn't want to seem easy. I bet all the girls before me fell for him at first glance. I wasn't going to be one of them. I wanted something more than a fling...though a fling with him didn't sound that bad. Was it that much to wish for something more though?

I huffed. "Shouldn't you be with Brandon?" Trish sighed dramatically. "If only I was with him...he's busy interviewing Sam Jenkins for the newspaper. For that championship he won in swim." She pouted. "Like that is so important..." I smiled. They were just so cute. "I bet he's really missing you right now."

Trish sighed again. "I'm sure he is too."

I poked her. "Wow, someone's thinking highly of herself."

"Well, excuse me. Who's the one who thinks a certain guy should be moping around?" She teased.

I glared at her. "I thought we were over this. Can we please talk about something else. I don't want to talk about that guy anymore."

"Uh-huh." But she did stop talking about him. We spent the rest of lunch talking about inane stuff like how we would be going to shopping next weekend. But not talking about Kevin didn't mean I wasn't thinking about him. Or glaring at him from across the lunch room...

It was such a relief when the bell rang. Trish and I started to walk to AP Chemistry. I was sick of seeing all those girls surrounding Kevin, watching his every movement in rapt attention. I mean he's hot and all but don't they have any self respect?

"Like you're any better. Aren't you ogling him too? The only difference is that you're further away." That voice crept into my mind again.

Ugh. I huffed again. Trish caught my less than happy expression and laughed as if she knew why I was upset. "Chill, Kylie. I bet he's just trying to make you jealous. Guys tend to do that. I mean, judging from his actions earlier, I would say he's pretty crazy about you."

"Sure he is. Guys like him are just players." I replied. But her words made me feel so much better. Was he trying to make me jealous just 'cause I didn't eat lunch with him? That made so much sense...not. That was such a childish thing to do! I smiled as I pictured the puppy dog look he did earlier. He could be so childish. But that just made him more attractive...

Was I falling for him? Already? No way.

"Just admit it." Stupid voice.

That was so fast though...I only knew him for not even one day. And that first impression wasn't very good. He almost ran me over and sped off. First impressions are the most important thing! But admit I was forgetting about that incident already. He could've been really shocked or something. Shock can make people act weird...why am I making excuses for him anyways?

"I wonder what we're learning in Chem today?" Trish pondered aloud.

I shrugged. 'Ms. Osaka is pretty predictable. I think it's elements today. I mean we were just talking about the periodic table yesterday.'
