Chapter 14
I waited and waited and waited for him, just like every other morning but he didn't come. Alex didn't come. Ever since we'd kissed, he'd avoided me. I missed him. So that Monday morning, I walked alone to school for the first time.
I felt the sudden urge to throw up as I walked in through the front doors of school. You know that feeling when you know, or think, everyone is talking about you? Yeah, that's how I felt. And I wanted it to stop. Then again, maybe I was just being paranoid again. "She's such a slut..." I heard a girl to my right whisper as I strolled past her. I looked at her and I didn't recognize her. I'd never met her before. Ever. If she doesn't know me, how does she know what happened? Oh, right, gossip in high school spreads faster then any sickness.
During my short trip to my locker, I'd heard myself being called a slut, whore, bitch, and so on by people I had never talked to once in my life. I felt myself becoming weaker and weaker every second and the worst part is, I had no one to go to.
I walked quickly to class, keeping my head down in order to avoid everyone's menacing glances. I walked into my classroom and everyone became quiet. I rolled my eyes before heading to my seat in the back of the classroom. I looked around at the familiar faces that would usually be smiling at me or making conversation. Today, they weren't. I looked to my right and noticed the empty seat. Robert always sat there. I looked up and noticed him on the other side of the room in the front row. That stung.
"Alright, class settle now," My teacher demanded, gracing into the classroom while setting her books in her desk. "Today, we'll be doing group work so I'll be pairing you off into groups of two," She said. Everyone looked to their best friend, hoping they'd be lucky enough to be in their group. Usually Robert and I would look at each other and he would flash me one of his famous smiles. Not today.
As she read names off her list, I zoned out. The only class I wouldn't mind going to today would be fourth period because that was my one class with Austin.
*Flashback*
"I'm really sorry that happened to you," Austin muttered as I kept my head rested on his car window. I pursed my lips, as if I wanted to say something but then closed them, knowing I had nothing to say. I knew something was going to happen if I put myself in that situation. "Why'd you do it?" He spoke up again.
"Do what?" I asked, sitting up looking out the front window of his truck. I knew exactly what he talking about but I wanted to stall so maybe we would get back to my house before I had to explain myself.
"You know what I'm talking about. I thought you really liked Robert," He said, his grip tightening on his steering wheel.
"I do. I have for a while now," I informed him.
"The why did you, you know, say those things to Tucker?" He asked.
"Because I like both of them. Can't a girl like more than one guy?"
"Not when you're in a relationship with one of them," He stated, almost chuckling. I rolled my eyes and groaned. "Sorry," Austin muttered. A few seconds later, I heard the radio come on.
"That should be me feeling your kiss. That should be me buying you gifts. This is so wrong. I can't go on until you believe that that should be me," Justin Bieber's perfect voice sang through the stereo.
"Oh my gosh!" I shouted, an automatic smile forming on my lips.
"Oh God. Please don't tell me you're one of those Believers or whatever," Austin groaned, rolling his eyes.
"It's Beliebers and yes, I am!" I stated proudly. Austin chuckled. "That should be me feeling your kiss! That should be me buying you gifts!" I sang loudly.
Austin laughed. "This is so wrong," Austin sang. I looked over at him, marveling at his perfect features. He looked back at me, his brown eyes gleaming perfectly in the moonlight that shone through the car windows. "I can't go on until you believe that that should be me," He finished, looking at me straight in the eyes.
*End of flashback.*
I smiled slightly to myself until I heard my name. "Alison Jones," my teacher said sternly, "and Robert Villanueva." I gulped.
Robert groaned loudly and stood up out of his seat and slowly moved his way over to the open desk next to me. "Hey," I stated, forcing a smile.
"Hi," He shot back, taking his seat and opening his textbook. I missed him. His smile, his smell, his lips, his hugs, his warmth.
"Can we talk?" I muttered, part of me hoping he wouldn't hear me in fear of rejection.
"There's nothing to talk about," He snapped back, keeping his perfect eyes locked on the book. I knew this was killing him.
"Yes, there is. Please, Robe-"
"Ali, stop!" He spoke, maybe a little bit too loudly because a few heads turned around. Robert turned to face me. His features weren't alive like they usually are. He looked dead & he had bags under his eyes. "You messed up, I didn't. There's nothing for us to talk about! Haven't you done enough?"
I bit my lip. "I miss you," I mumbled.
"Yeah, well, that sucks, doesn't it? Let's just do the work, please," He whispered, directing his attention back to his book.
I sighed. He's impossible.

My expectations were higher as I walked into my fourth period class. I could finally see Austin. I sat down in my chair, trying to fight the huge smile that wanted to occupy my face.
"Alright, let's quiet down," The teacher demanded. I looked around. Austin wasn't here.
Maybe he's just late...
I waited longer.
Maybe he got detention...
I waited longer and soon enough, the bell rang, indicating me that it was time for lunch.
Austin hadn't come to class that day.
