What is Love?

Chapter 7

"So, what are we going to do for the art project?" I heard Jason asking Melissa. What in the world were they doing for the past three weeks. It's one day to the presentation and honestly, I haven't prepared the poem yet, Dylan still has my notepad and his excuse is he "forgets" it everyday.

"please ask me when we are at school, my mind works better there" Melissa replied as she took a slice of pizza and taking a bite.

"you guys know that we are handing the projects out tomorrow" I laughed. Here I am, in Melissa's room, eating pizza simply because Jason didn't have enough courage to come here by himself and yet it turned out fun.

"Yeah we do, but come on, no one has finished the project since they are all busy with the party Jake is having"

"Wait, I thought he wasn't going to have one this year" Jason looked at me.

"What? I didn't know he was going to have one this year, am guessing this one was just delayed." Every year Jake hosts the most craziest huge party, where for some reason people make a really big deal out of them, girls even shop for dresses and have their make up done.

"Anyway, i think we should go do some shopping" Melissa suggested and if I was going to go to that party, Miranda had to know. I declined the offer, I'll go shopping with Miranda.

"Guys, I have to go home, mom keeps blowing my phone" I lied to get out of there. I don't know why Melissa is being nice to me, she is never this nice. I left Melissa's place, it wasn't far from home, mostly like a 10 minute walk.

********************************************************

So, today was Friday, the day we hand out out projects. None of us had finished the projects. The teacher was understanding though, He gave us another two weeks which frankly was really lucky for us, may the universe bless us with teachers like this.

"Dylan can I have my notepad please?"

"NO"

"Why? We both agreed that you'll give it to me after the date and you didn't you potato head"

"Really? potato head? that's all you got" he laughed while shaking his head. He opened his locker and God! he is so hot. What?!.

"Here" he handed me my notepad.

"thank you" i turned to walk away as he stopped me. "Not so fast..."

"What is it now?" I glared at him.

"I told your brother am taking you home today so, wait for me"

"oh! no no no no no no no"

"Do you hate me?" He asked

"no"

"Then wait"

Fifteen minutes had passed and he is nowhere to be seen. I walk to his locker and there he was, again, making out with Melissa. He stopped right after he saw me and started walking towards me. I stood there, my legs were numb and shaking. I couldn't gather enough courage to walk away but yet who was I in his life, a memory that was forgotten, I was no one to him and it seems that he had something going on with Melissa.

"It's not what it looks like" He came up to me.

"uhh okay" I smile, turning away and walking towards his car. I didn't want to show him that I care, in fact, I couldn't care less about him.

"You aren't bugged by it?"

"Why would I be? I don't own you Dylan" Those words hurt as they came out of me. I wanted to be Melissa now. She had Dylan wrapped up in her finger and I was just the forgotten one. I like Dylan, yes I admit it, but he likes Melissa. He looked at me, he knew I was broken but I didn't want to let him know.

"I don't like her Elena, she kissed me, I didn't kiss her"

"Okay, can we go now?"

"Will you stop pretending like you don't care?"

"I really don't care whether she kissed you or you kissed her, I just want to go home"

"Why? So you can go write poems?"

"Did you open my notepad?"

"Poems don't fix things Elena"

"What is wrong with you, leave me and my poems alone" I stormed off and decided I'd catch a bus home,My life is full of drama and I don't want to add more. I started walking away from Dylan, he is such a freaking mess, How dare he open my notepad?.

"Elena wait" he held my hand to stop me.

"What?"

"Am sorry, I shouldn't have made you wait and am sorry about Melissa......."

"You know what your problem is?" I cut him off "You think that I care about what you do, I don't care if you lick Melissa's throat, just don't do it in front of me."

"Am sorry"

"Forget it, am going home" I turned back and he pulled me back stopping me, He cupped my cheeks and leaned in to kiss me. I was shocked at first, my eyes widened then slowly my eyes closed and I kissed him back. He broke the kiss and looked at me.

"Let's go home" He smiled.
