High School Crush

Chapter Eleven

When the sea gets rough, just know that it'll settle <3

I was really dreading going to school on Monday. Ty was so sweet to me but as I washed my hair I remembered how everyone called him the player. Was he playing with my heart? Was he going to ignore me today? Was it going to be awkward? I was so confused, I didn't know what to do, how to think. I really fancied him, he was so good looking and I found him so funny and kind but surely if everyone thinks he's a player that means something? Or maybe Jenna was jealous and so was Nathan and Logan? No, they're my friends and they wouldn't lie to me about that. They're just trying to protect me and save me from heartbreak but I like him so much... Then again, Ty admitted himself he was a player. Could I change that? If we ever dated I could change him. We would never date though, he would never ask me out...

'Bye Curt!' I shouted before walking out of the house. I didn't bother waiting for him because he always made me late.

I walked to school, my mind hurting, my stomach in knots. As I walked through the hallways to my locker I felt sick. I saw Ty and almost fainted. He was with Nathan at his locker. I kept my head down and ran towards my locker.

'Oh My God, Nikki, do you like this lipsick?' Jenna pouted at me.

'Beaut.' I grinned.

'Aha, so how you feeling?'

I gulped, 'Um, I need to talk to you about something... Break time?'

Jenna narrowed her eyes, 'Okay...;

'Thanks.' I gave her a weak smile and we walked to our class.

I managed to survive sitting next Nathan and his questions. Ty had obviously told him about us meeting up and now he wouldn't shut the hell up.

'Nikki, what the hell are you doing meeting up with Ty?' Nathan hissed.

'It wasn't arranged, you douche.' I hissed back.

'Oh, I'm the douche? Says the girl letting the school player play her.'

I folded my arms across my chest and grunted, quietly, 'I'm not letting him play me, Nathan. I just hung out with him for a while.' I turned to face him, 'he was there for me in my moment of need. I don't remember you being there so he's obviously a better person than you. Who's the douche now?'

'Your moment of need? What moment of need?' Nathan's eyes softened.

'My point exactly.'

'I didn't realise you were upset or in need of a friend....'

'Again, my point exactly. You not realising doesn't help make you a better person, if anything it makes you even worse.'

'Woah, woah, woah. You never told me anything. I bet you told Ty things therefore he was there for you. That's an unfair play, Nikki.' Nathan whispered.

I rolled my eyes, 'Just drop it.'

'No because I don't want to see you have to suffer from Ty's games.'

'You're not a very nice friend. I thought Ty was your best friend?'

'Oh My God, I'm TRYING to look out for YOU! But you just keep pushing me away, how am I meant to be there for you if you don't open up to me?'

'I don't open up to anyone, don't take it personally. It's not just you.'

'Why? Why can't you tell me what's wrong?'

'Because we're in the middle of a lesson.'

'Break?'

'I'm talking to Jenna.'
