Alluring. That was the perfect word to describe Miles. I sat upon my bed, not even making an effort to get ready for school. My gaze fixed on the beautiful boy through my window. He was just walking around his room shirtless getting ready for school.

I really should get up. I said to myself. I let out a sigh and stood up. Ever since I stopped talking to Miles he's been on my mind more often, consuming all of my thoughts.

I hated it. I didn't want to think about him. I walked to bathroom when a small black thing on my floor caught my attention. I looked down and saw the largest spider ever crawling to my feet. I started hoping away from it but then it followed me. I let out a scream as I fell. My face right beside the beast. I let out another scream as the multiple red eyes stared into my soul.

I quickly got up and ran to my window opening it up and climbing onto the tree. I quickly and recklessly clambered into miles room falling on the floor. I laid down on my back with my eyes closed for a second and when I opened them Miles looked at me weirdly.

"Oh, there was a spider, sorry." I said quietly and got up. I started to climb out of the window when Miles grabbed my arm gently.

"Kat.." He started his eyes looked sad and I couldn't help but relax at the sound of his voice. "What happened? Between us?"

"I- I, um, I just can't Miles." I looked away and Miles abruptly let go of my arm. I looked up at him to see anger spread across his features.

"You can't? You can't!? That's all I get! One day we were happy and having fun then suddenly you just can't. Without any reason you cast me out of your life and pretended we never had anything." He yelled at me. I glared at him.

"Because we didn't have anything!" I shouted and I could see he was taken back by my harsh words. "Okay yes we kissed and yes I liked it, but Miles you were having sex with girls after we hung out and after we would kiss, so don't point fingers at me and tell me I was the one to ruin us."

I finished my breath deeper and my heart beating faster. He just looked down from me then back up through his lashes.

"Why?" He yelled out.

"Because Stacey said-" I stopped what I was saying, I really messed up. His hard voice and sad eyes made me loose my train of thought.

"Stacey said what?" Miles growled taking at step closer.

"Nothing, nothing I didn't mean to say that." I tried to cover up but obviously failed. Before he could say anything I went out the window and onto the tree.

"Please don't speak to Stacey, please let me deal with it." I pleaded and slowly Miles nodded his head.

"Oh and can you come kill a spider for me?" I smiled a bit embarrassed.

After school was over I had the dreaded kid for a couple of hours. And I needed to grocery shop for tonight.

Milo was sitting in the cart whining that he couldn't get anything. I was so close to ditching the cart and running but I couldn't, my snacks were in there and I snatched up the last pack of skittles.
