Between The Two

Chapter 21

Paige POV

Robert still likes me? He never gave up on me? He waited for me this long? How can i not see that all this while? Yes, we rarely talk. That is because i don't really know him. No one dares to do whatever Robert did to me. Let out his feelings towards me. I should really salute him for having the balls to do that. And that is what i call gentleman.

He doesn't forced me to date him. That's good. He is so sincere when he gave his little speech. I can't deny that i actually could fall for him. Such a loving guy. But the thing is, i only start to know him when i find out he likes me last year. That's all. I didn't look at him the way he look at me. I have no feelings towards him. Just friends. No more than that. He should understand that.

I mean, if you were in my situation, would you accept him to be your date even though you don't really know him? I bet no right? Or maybe you would give them a chance. I have my own ideal guy. Tall, charming, sweet, caring... I instantly think of Dylan. Why would i think of him? I shook my head vigorously hoping that his face would go away. No, Paige. He has a girlfriend, remember?

The following day(Monday)

My classmates came out with this idea of organizing a chalet near a beach. Motive for this chalet is to enjoy our time before finals start. Everyone literally agreed to this idea. I couldn't say no to them right? So, i just go with the flow. It will be this coming Saturday and Sunday. Of course, teachers were not invited! Hahaha

The sad thing is Shay and Scarlete will not be joining my class cause they're from other class. That means, i will be alone. I don't really get along with my new classmates. Dylan is an exception. Well, cause he is my partner. Besides Dylan, the only people i know is Robert. That's all. Yeah, you can call me anti-social. I get that a lot.

This week has been such a hell. Even though mid year exams are over, teachers never fail to give us homeworks. Don't forget, math homeworks too. Shay is my only hope to help me do my math. Without her, surely detention is the only answer.

After going out for a movie and dinner with Robert, i realized he kept his distance away from me. We would talk whenever we came across each other and that's that. He should get over it right?

Besides Robert, ever since i found out Dylan has a girlfriend, Kate, i always sees them everywhere i go. The cafeteria, the lockers, the library, the toilet area, anywhere, you name it(except in class cause she is from other class). I really hate Kate. She is so bossy, queenbee wannabe, oh witch please. I can't stand being alone with her for a second! I wonder how her friends keep up with her boss ass attitude. I wonder what Dylan sees in her.

Like i already said, this week sucks. I can't wait for this week to end. I want to know my biology results! Oh wait, i still have a chalet to attend! I have to inform Mary that i won't be working for this weekend, i guess. Hais, this is so awesome.

The next thing i know is, friday has already been fried. Get the joke? No? Just ignore. I was actually kind of excited to go for this chalet. Probably it's my first time ever. Just as i reached home, i packed my things for the next two days.

Just as i settle everything down, i flopped down on my bed and start googling the place that i will be staying overnight. Damn, it is so far away. Half an hour ride? The best thing is, how am i supposed to get there? By public bus? Oh no way. It will take half a day! I was so annoyed and start tweeting.

I don't think i should go.

As you already guess, Dylan replied.

Talking about our class chalet?

How does he knows?

Yeah. I might not come.

Just then, he personal message me through twitter.

Why not? Come on, it will be fun. Every year we did this. It's our class thing. You should come,Paige.

The thing is, i don't know how to get there. I don't own a car, i don't want to take cab cause it will cost me a lot, i can't take public bus cause i...i never take public bus before.

Are you serious? Alright, don't worry. I have a bike. You can have a ride with me, if that's okay with you.

How about Kate? She will kill me if she find out i ride with her boyfriend.

Oh don't worry about her. She won't find out ;)

Wait, you don't mind? I mean, it's considered you're not a loyal boyfriend towards her.

You don't know anything about us, Paige. So, are you coming with me?

I bite my bottom lip. I don't know anything about them? Do i want to know? Don't care about them, Paige. Think of free ride. Come on. Free ride with Dylan.

Erm... Yeah, I'll go with you.

After sending him my home address, he told me he will pick me up at 8 in the morning. Woah, thats too early to wake up on a Saturday!

Thank you so much Dylan. See you tmr.

That night, i couldn't sleep well. I kept thinking about Dylan. I can't describe how i feel when Dylan offered a lift. I think, i might have a tiny, little bit, just an inch, not more than that... Alright, alright. I think, i have a crush on Dylan. Surprise?
