High School Crush

Chapter Fourteen

I'm dedicating this to @Ellabella_ because she is one of my bestest friends and I hope that when we start our new schools we won't drift apart especially as we're going different schools now. I'll miss her lots but I hope we'll stay in contact and get to do what we planned to do when we're older. She has been an amazing friend and I beg to God that I won't lose her. Luvoo Ella x

I'm going to attempt doing Ty's POV (Point Of View) so sorry if this fails :)

Ty's POV:

I woke up with half an hour to get ready before school. I didn't panic or rush around my room for my uniform I just casually got ready. It was pretty much just another school day for me except that today I felt queasy and strange. My heart ached and I had a sore head but I decided to ignore it and continue to get ready for school. I jogged down the stairs and entered my kitchen. I grabbed myself a bowl of Shreddies and a glass of orange juice. I scoffed my breakfast and glugged the juice down before hugging my mum goodbye and walking out of my house, slamming the front door shut behind me.

As I walked past the hospital my mum worked in, I glanced in thinking of Nikki. My heart ached again and got this strange sick feeling inside of me, like butterflies in my stomach but not the good kind you get when your on a rollercoaster, the bad kind when your sick with worry or dread. I'd arranged a date with Nikki but not gone. I'd blamed it on watching TV but that was a lie. the truth was, my adopted brother was round and I was trying to get him to stay living with me and my familyand I forgot about mine and Nikki's date. I was actually excited about it despite my previous history of dating. I hated being the school player and when I saw Nikki for the first time I wanted to change but I didn't know how to. I thought she liked Nathan. I mean, come on, Nathan's good looking and a kind guy, he doesn't have a history of playing with girls hearts.

I kept my distance because I knew Nathan liked Nikki back, he'd said so himself. I tried to move on from liking Nikki by flirting with some other girls but it didn't work. Then when Nikki told me about her life and we spent some time together alone I knew I liked her. A lot. When she told me she didn't like Nathan my heart skipped a beat. I had to try my hardest to play cool and ask her out like it was no biggy. When she said yes I went home smiling so wide I thought my face might actually split in half but that smile soon faded when my mum told me my adopted 14 year old brother was coming back to talk to us about things the next day. My mind went blank and I forgot completely about mine and Nikki's arrangements until later that evening when I was on my phone and saw I had her number. I texted her about our date and just hoped I'd be able to make it.

When my brother came everything went awkward. Me, my family and him sat on the sofa in silence but that soon changed. World War III happened right inside my living room and I couldn't do anything. I tried to call Nikki when our date was meant to happen but it went straight to answer phone. Maybe she had tried calling me at the same time? She called again a bit later on but I couldn't answer. My parents were shouting at me to keep my phone on silent in a situation like this but Nikki carried on calling. it wasn't her fault, she didn't know, but I couldn't do anything. Then she called again and I was told just to answer my damn phone, so they kept the noise down whilst I answered. I was stressed so I snapped at her. She said she'd been waiting for ages and as my family was in the same room as me, sat on the same couch as me, I couldn't tell her the truth so I lied. I said I was busy watching TV because I didn't know what else to say. Then when she came off the phone I felt like a complete douche. I knew my chances with her were over especially as she was so close with my ex, Jenna, who I had played twice.

I reached the school doors and pushed them open, swaggering over to my locker. I saw Nikki at her locker with Nathan and Jenna talking to her. I shoved my bag into my locker and slowly walked over to her.
