Flying High

CHAPTER 11

 I went home and I lied on my bed, she really did get drunk because of me I should tell her, though, that I actually did care for her and I still do. Britt is something to help me take my mind of her because if I kept thinking about her smile, the way she kissed me that summer or even our first time, I would have gone mad long ago.

I was lying down until I got a call from T-Pose so I went out to meet him and ask for advice.

CAROLINE'S P.O.V

Before I even realized it it was Monday and I had to write the test. I was thankful for the fact that I studied all day long on Sunday. I was in a class alone since it was already 3 pm but I didn't care I needed to complete this test and get a normal life.

I wrote the test and I was sure that I got every answer right and I walked outside while looking down since I hate the sun during may until August. I saw Marc there and I waved at him even thought we talked about hooking up we are pretty much buddies now even though both of us know that when he graduates we'll stop talking.

" Hey what are you doing here?" he asked and I told him about how I had to write a test and everything so he nodded.

" I'm going out tonight for dinner with my parents and it's going to be awkward because Marry can't come with me, do you maybe want to tag along?" I asked and he nodded so I smiled.

" Good I'll pick you up at 9 dress formally" I said and left because taking a shower, shaving my legs, getting my nails done and deciding what to wear, they take time.

After getting all those things done I was left with two options a long skirt and a shirt or a dress. I went with the dress eventually. As I zipped it, took my clutch and I made sure my earrings would stay there for the entire night.

" Sorry couldn't help myself and I arrived early" he said since it was like 8:59 but I just shook my head and got in my car as I drove off.

" Hi, so this is Marc" I said trying to find an excuse on how we met.

" We met because our school has this project where seniors help her class so we were partners for a little while" He said with his British accent and my parents seemed to believe him.

" So you're studying architecture just like Caroline huh?" my dad asked and he nodded with a smile my mum told me she needed help with something so I went in the kitchen with her.

" He's too British for you" she said and I laughed so hard that I had to sit down.

" You really thought I was dating him? I don't plus I want someone else but he doesn't see it for now" I said obviously referring to Dylan but I was thankful my mum didn't quite get it.

Dinner was pure hell but it was over quickly so I just got in my car and drove to school it was a painfully silent drive until Marc broke the silence.

" So, um, this Dylan guy he's an actor isn't he?" he started and I nodded keeping my eyes on the road.

" And you've known him since you were 12" I nodded again.

" Is he the guy that you told me about the other day?" he asked and I nodded with a sigh.

" He is, unfortunately, and I wish he wasn't or that I would get over him because the way I shiver when he touches me is unimaginable and he has an effect on me that any guy wished to have on girls" I said sighing again, I looked at him with the corner of my eye he was nodding to himself as if he knew something I didn't.

" I have seen his girl they don't look in love, at least he doesn't I found a picture of them where they kiss and Dylan just looks as if he's not really there" he said and I frowned but kept my eyes on the road.

" I used to have a friend like that it didn't end well because now she's married with a rich guy and she denies to have kids just yet. But whenever her husband is out of town she called me and it would be crazy, but my point is that he likes you but he won't admit it to himself so find another guy because you'll end up being his secret lover that no one knows about" he said and he seemed to know many things but I just stayed silent.

" So I think this is where you live, goodnight" I smiled and he did to getting out.

" Oh, can I tell you something?" I asked when he got out so he leaned in and watched me closely.

" My parents thought we were dating" I said we laughed at how silly that sounded. I drove off when I got a text from Marry telling me to not come to the dorm for at least 2 hours so I just kept driving around.

I stopped at some sort of hill where you could see the entire campus so I just stayed there looking at the lights slowly go off from every sorority and dorm. I set an alarm clock in order to wake around 5 am and get back to my bed, until then I let my mind wander.

" Baby girl" I heard a whisper and I didn't want to open my eyes but I smiled.

" Get up" he said and I realized it was Dylan so I smiled opening my eyes slowly getting up, I realized I didn't have any clothes on so I kept the covers on my body. I looked around we were in a cozy looking room with a window open so there was a slight breeze, enough to give you chills. We were on a bed with white sheets that obviously haven't been used before and I smiled to myself.

As I got up I payed attention to my fingers, then I noticed it I was wearing some sort of ring it wasn't golden more like an engagement ring with a precious stone, it felt weird on my fingers, so weird that I began questioning the fact that I was awake.

" Do you like it? That's why I woke you up to see it" Dylan said wrapping his hands around me.

I gasped when I heard the song from my phone and after I closed it I looked at my fingers they didn't have a ring on confirming it was just a dream. After I was calm enough I drove to my dorm and as I drove I saw the sky it was still a dark blue but towards the horizon it was some sort of light blue and lilac and I loved it.

I got in a quietly as possible but when I saw Marry and George cuddle I got out, it was so cute it made me sick but I was happy for her she found someone who likes her for what she is and she doesn't have to pretend to be someone else.

I was sitting on a bench and I kept thinking about what Marc told me. That I'll end up being his secret lover the one that no one is aware of, but that can't be Dylan he is nice he doesn't look like a guy who would cheat on his girlfriend with his friend a.k.a Caroline Abernathy, the girl who no one knows because she's not famous the girl who has spent 3 years of her life single, why? Because she fell for her friend.

" What are you doing here?" I heard Marc, no not him not now.

" I was having an existence crisis until you showed up" I answered and he smiled sitting down next to me.

" Fine Marry was sleeping with her boyfriend and it was painfully cute, to the point where I thought I would get sick" I answered laughing and he smiled again.

" Well I slept" he said but I looked at him frowning why was he awake?

" I wake up at 5:30 and go running, I usually run about half a mile" he said and I nodded understanding what he was doing up.

Before I knew it I was walking to my first class groaning since it was still Tuesday. I sat at my desk and the teacher gave us our tests back I got 98% which is more than I had expected so another reason to be happy. Around lunch break I found Marry and announced that he will go shopping with me after school.
