A Shot At Love

Chapter 11~ ignorance and important calls

Have you ever woke up in the morning and felt like something was out place?

You don't understand the feeling, and you can't pinpoint what it is, but you just know that's something's wrong.

It's like a tiny voice in your head telling you that the day will be eventful, but in a bad way.

Your stomach feels twisted, and you feel queasy and hesitant about leaving your house.

Well that's at least how my Monday morning is starting off. This feeling is in the pit of my stomach, and it's scaring me. I'm suppose to find out today, whether I got the internship or not. What if this is a sign that my results are negative?

I try to shake the thought from my head but I can't. It's like a magnet is stuck to brain, and it makes it no better that I'm in school right now. I haven't really been paying attention to the lesson all hour.

Luckily class is almost over, because I need to get out of here, and fast. My mind is so boggled up right now, i just seriously need a distraction.

The second the bell rings, I pack up my stuff and leave the classroom. As I'm walking down the hallway is see Trey standing with his group of friends.

I haven't talked to him since the date. I think we both wanted to give each other some space so we wouldn't seem clingy.

I decide to go talk to him, even though I'm not sure if that's a good Idea or not. We haven't discussed whether we wanted the school to know that we were sorta talking.

I mean, it's weird for the smart girl to be going out on dates with the schools basketball star, but I risk my chances and walk up to him.

"Hey Trey," I begin " can I talk to you?"

He gives his friends an odd look before responding sure, with a mono tone voice.

"Alone?" I ponder, while giving him this weird look.

"Why would you need to talk to me alone? I don't even know your name."

"What the hell are you talking about. You know damn well you know my name." I say, extremely confused.

"Oh," Trey draws out "you're the freaky smart girl I paid to do my homework. Summer right?"

"No, I never did your homework before. You took me out on a date Saturday. Why are you trying to act brand new?" I explode, trying to create some type of logical answer for this in head.

"Your sick, because I never took you out on a date before." I he says, showing no emotion.

"Ohhhh I see what this is about. You don't want your friends know that you went from having one of the finest girls in the school to dating the freaky genius. That's fine, I don't care. You just saved me from making a tremendous mistake. So drown in all your arrogant ways and enjoy the people around you while you can. Because once you're last shot goes through the net, you'll look around and see nothing but empty space." I express, letting all my emotions I'm feeling right now get the best of me. "Have a good life Trey. You'll need it."

With that, I walk off to my second hour. The event that just took place replays in my mind, and then reality sinks in, and the real question invades my mind.

Why am I never good enough?

"He seriously did that to you?" Jailen exclaims. We're sitting in my car eating lunch as we talk about what happened earlier.

"Yep. He did. So much for taking a shot at love huh?" I chuckle.

"Autumn I'm sorry. I never thought this would happen." Jailen apologizes
