I Hate my Crush

Chapter twenty three: So Heartless. I Love It.

{EDITED}

I sneak into Gonzalo's room and make sure that he isn't there. He's probably at his friends house. He won't be back until one or something.

I turn on the waffle maker and mix the batter. I sprinkle little chocolate chips on to them and close the waffle maker. There was a total of six waffles and I had enough batter to make four more. I grab the syrup and drown my waffles in the sticky goodness.

"Oh, waffles!" Gonzalo yells walking into the kitchen with the guys.

"No, no, no. Mine." I pull the plate away from their grasp.

"I'm hurt." Gonzalo playfully puts his hand over his heart.

"And I'm hungry." I shovel more food into my mouth.

"So am I. Coach had us practicing so hard. I think I broke something." He boys all nod. I find Daniel sitting on the couch.

"There's seven-" I get cut off by the gushing wind. It's like The Walking Dead all over again. I see a hand grab the last bite of my waffle.

"Thanks." Daniel licks the syrup off his fingers.

"Why'd he get some of yours?" Gonzalo whines.

"Cause I'm her favorite." He winks at me and I roll my eyes.

"Actually I hate you the most. Goodnight." I wrap myself in my blanket and saunter over to the stairs.

I grab my buzzing phone and answer it.

"What?" I whine into the phone.

"It's almost prom and we need to go shopping." Xavier says in a 'duh'

"I don't have a date I was supposed to go with someone but he got a boyfriend."

"Oops. So I'm sure someone will ask you."

"I know, but the guys I want to ask me won't." I roll over to my stomach.

"Screw him." He yells

"I wish I could." I mumble into the phone.

"You slut. I'm coming in an hour be ready." He hangs up. I groan/yell into my pillow.

I grab my black jeans and white T-shirt. I put on my black Tims and grab my phone. I takes me forever to find my shoes. One was under my bed and the other was in the bathroom.

"Gonzo you have a twenty?!" I yell running downstairs.

"On my dresser." He yells back.

"Why didn't you tell me to stay upstairs." I grumble opening the door. Daniel is laying shirtless on his bed.

"What happened to you? You look like you got hit by a truck." I laugh grabbing the fifty out of Gonzalo's wallet.

That's what he gets for making me run down the stairs.

"I think I did." He jokes. He winces sitting up. I notice the bruises all over his arm and some that color his torso.

"No lay back down." I walk to his side laying him down.

Holy shit. His toned. Washboard abs. I wonder if he could move his pecs.

"I thought you didn't care." He chuckles laying back down.

"If you died how else would I hate." I grab him a water bottle and walk out.

"I hope that the guy you like asks you to prom." He whispers before I close the door.

I grab a water from the fridge and get in Xavier's car. I look in the back seat and no one is there.

"What no lover boy?" I smirk buckling my seatbelt.

"No he's going with Daniel and Gonzalo."

"Who's Gonzalo asking?" I look over to him and he shrugs.

"He's been talking to the new girl."

"And Daniel going with Vanessa huh?" The words that come out if his mouth makes me cry.

"Nah, they broke up." He replies nonchalantly.

"Really? Haha. That bitch can suck it!" I get out of the car.

"Wow, so heartless. I love it." He laughs and we walk into the mall.

We went through at least twenty stores, three food courts and eleven arcades.

"Can we leave now." I whine carrying mist of the bags.

"No we need to find you a prom dress." Xavier searches for the store.

"We have dresses in the bags." I shuffle into the next store and rest on the one of the seats.

"Yeah, but not a prom dress." He searches through another one of the racks.

"So what." I look around then I find it. It's beautiful the prettiest thing ever.

We finally get the dress and walk to another food court. We get stopped by this guy. He goes to our school. His name is Brian. I sit behind him in third.

"Alexis, would you like to accompany to prom?" He asks.

"Um, I." I am at a loss of words. "My fish is drowning I'm sorry. I have to go."

"Ugh, what is wrong with me." He slumps down on a chair with his head on his hands.

"What do you mean?" I sit next to him.

"I was stupid enough to let my friends talk me into this, and that you'd ever say yes." My heart broke for him.

"Brian. You're an amazing guy. Any girl, and I mean any, would go with you."

"But you can't. So it really doesn't matter." I stand up and walk in front of him.

"How about I save you a dance?"

"Really you'd do that for me?"

"Yeah, if I can, all those girls, I'll probably break a nail trying to get to you." He laughs. I lean in and kiss his cheek.

"You're special. Just find that person, who's just as special." I ruffle his hair and walk away.

"And you thought no one would ask you." Xavier nudges my shoulder with his.

"Yeah, that was weird. Why though?" I shrug putting the bags in the trunk.

Before we go to my house we get some McDonalds and Chinese. Don't judge after a whole day of shopping we need this.

The shower was running and Gonzalo was no where to be found so I put two and two together.

I set up a movie downstairs and grab my snacks from my hiding place. I walk out the door and immediately close it.

Daniel is only in a towel. And he's wet. Okay chill. Just walk out and pretend that you don't have a crush on him. Yeah. You want to crush him.

You know that moment when you know you fucked up but you won't admit it. Yeah, when I closed the door I was already outside so I blocked an exit. And now I'm just staring at Daniel.

"See something you like?" He smirks.

Yeah.

"I'd rather poke my eyeball out with a pencil."

"Whatever you say." He hums shrugging.

"Put on a shirt." I grumble walk in past him.

"What happened?" Xavier asks.

"Daniel was born."
