A Shot At Love

Chapter 7~Explanations

(A/N--The image above is how I picture Jailen to look.)

After about two hours of explaining to Jailen what had happened between me and Trey she finally went home.

I told her about all our conversations and how I kept snapping on him. I told her about the argument and the kiss, and how he asked me out on a date. I also told her how I might have a super small crush on him.

She was beyond excited. She was happy about the kiss and how I confessed about my small interest in him. She was euphoric that for the first time ever, I took a glance at a boy and felt feelings for him in a romantic way. Though her happyness was completely ruined when I brought up that Trey was all over Nicole today.

She told me to f.uck him. That if he didn't see what he was missing then he was delusional.

The moment she told me that I had made up my mine. I know my answer to tell Trey. Even if its not the actual one I want to give him.

●●●●●●●●●

Right now i'm sitting in 3rd hour waiting on Trey to walk in the door.

My heart is beating fast and i'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because i'm scared to reject him. Or maybe it's because i really don't want to.

But deep down I know this is the answer I have to give him. No matter how much my heart objects.

He finally walks in and my heart beats a little faster. He's wearing all black from head to toe, and d.amn does he look good.

The second Trey sits down in his chair he turns to face me"So did you think about my question?"

"Yes I did and the answers no." I tell him, a little more harsh than I meant to.

"What? Why?" He ask in confusion

"You know exactly why, so don't be idiotic." I growl.

The rest of the hour consist of sneaky glances, a whole lot of staring, and very thick tension.

At the end of the class period, I hurry up and pack my belongs before Trey can ask me why I said no to the date.

I throw my backpack over my shoulder and leave out the classroom. I'm half way to my locker when I feel a hand on my arm and i'm all of a sudden spun around.

"Please explain to me why you said no. I'm begging you." Trey pleads the moment I am turned around.

"It doesn't even matter. I said no."

"Can you just tell me why!?" Trey implores while raising his voice.

This causes people to glance our way with confused looks. Not understanding why Trey would be talking to the unknown, "freaky smart" girl.

"Your starting to make people stare."

"I don't care about people staring Autumn. I just want to know why you said no."

"Maybe it's because I don't want to be led on!" I screech, not being able to hold in my frustration any longer.

Realization cross his face, and just that quick his anger has died down. We're standing here gazing at each other like we're searching for answers in the others eyes.

It feels like the world has stopped and it's only us two here. I'm not sure if there's still people watching us or if they all went to lunch. Frankly I don't care. The only thing I care about at the moment is Trey and his explanation.

"Look yesterday, with Nicole, it was nothing. I promise." He weakly defends.

"How can you just say it was nothing? You two was all over each other yesterday. You guys were together since 9th grade. Feelings like that don't just go away, and it's obvious that they haven't. So don't use me in your sick game to make her jealous or whatever. I'm not falling for it."

"No it's not like that. Just please, one date and i'll show you that I don't have feelings for her anymore."

I take a minute and think about his offer. It says a lot that i'm even considering it. One week ago if any boy have asked me out on a date I would have said no in a heartbeat. Something about Trey is so different than any other boy though. My heart is completely overpowering my brain right now, but I can't help it.

"Ok. You have one date to prove me wrong Trey Tompkins."

A smile breaks out on his face when he process my words.

"Thank you so much. I swear you won't regret it." He promise me

"I hope not." I really hope not "So where do you plan on taking me? If you was so pressed about me saying yes you should have something good planned. Am I right? " I ask, wanting to grill as much information about the date out of him as I can.

"Can't tell you it's a surprise." He answers me with smirk on his face.

We start walking down the hallway to my locker with our steps in sync.

"Find then, i'm not telling you what kind of dates I prefer." I say somewhat as a threat.

"And that's suppose to scare me?" He mocks me while i shove my books in my locker.

"Yes, because if you choose something that i don't like then the date would go in complete shambles."

"Your right, but i'm still not telling you." He chuckles.

"Fine." I take a glance at the cafeteria doors then back at Trey. "You do realize we missed most of our lunch period right? "

"Well lets stay our here." He suggest shrugging his shoulders like it's no big deal.

"Aren't your friends looking for you?" I question

"Yeah, but so what."

"Ok let me just text Jailen and let her know I won't be attending lunch today" with that I pull out my phone and send a quick text to her informing her of what's going on.

I put my phone back into my pocket and slide down the wall to sit next to Trey.

"So is Saturday ok with you?" He asks me the instant i'm seated.

"Saturday is perfectly fine with me." And for the rest of lunch we sit there and talk and laugh about nothing until we can't anymore.
