The New Boy

Chapter 3

     So his name is Toby. Sydney finally knew something to call him other then 'New Boy.' At the same time she wanted him to say nameless. His name didn't even deserve to come out of her mouth.

     But then there was that other side of her thinking she was overreacting and to listen to everyone else. But she couldn't. She felt like she was the only one thinking about Jackson.

     During lunch she'd been sitting with people she never thought she'd be sitting with. Alice Crued and her crew. Alice Crued tried to steal Jack from her in 9th grade. She thought she would never ever forgive her, but there she was sitting and eating lunch with her when her whole world seemed to do a belly-flop into the water and flip upside down.

     While she was eating her Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich Toby walked over to her.

     "You're seat is vacant if you want to claim it." He scratched the back of his head as everyone stared at him.

     She slowly stood up and walked over to her old seat. She took a deep breath, "Sup."

     Everything was not just back to normal. She needed some time to think things over. She walked out to the parking lot at the end of the day and saw Adi waiting for her acting like everything was back to normal because she got her seat back in lunch.

     At the same moment Toby pulled up in his truck and they all looked at each other. Sydney made a daring move and hopped into Toby's truck.

     Toby smiled and said, "Why did you pick me? Why not get a ride from Adison?"

     "I probably should have picked Adison," Sydney said. "But, she wasn't being controlled by you. She was my best friend and ditched me. If only I knew why." Sydney stopped there almost talking to herself, and questioning.

     "Hey, do you wanna go somewhere with me tomorrow? Like the movies or something? I can pay." Toby asked Sydney.

     And after all the things Toby said and did, she said yes.

      SYDNEY'S P.O.V

     I really have no idea why I said yes. Maybe I thought some friends would be coming too or he didn't have anything to do on his first Friday night in this town.

     Or maybe you like him. My annoying side said. Yeah right! Me! Like Toby! Please.

     Yes. I am you. I know your deepest feelings and deep down, you want him. No matter what this thing inside me, well me, says I know what my brain is saying. No. I am your heart. Go by your heart not your brain. Now that's just bad advice.

     Am I talking to myself?

     I didn't even realize Toby was honking the horn. Once I got into the car and saw no one else there I really realized what was going on.

    I'm on a date with New Boy Toby.

    NARRATOR P.O.V

     Sydney was never one to just go out with guys. She let they work for her. It's how she knew they were good guys. She felt different with Jack. She liked him for so long she kind of just, dated him. It was a little weird when she felt the same feelings towards Toby. Again, after all he did she still liked him.

     Once they got to the movies they decided to get something to eat before the movie. Sydney was planning on paying for herself. Why would he pay for her?

     After he paid for her against her will she said, "You know, I could have paid for myself. Usually you only pay if we're on a date."

     "If you didn't think we were on a date you would have tried harder to pay for your stuff. Now come on they're seating in our movie." Toby said and Sydney listened to him.

     Maybe he was right? Wouldn't she have tried harder the she actually did? Maybe she wanted to be on a date with him. Maybe.

     SYDNEY'S P.O.V

     I got home around 10:00 which is pretty good. We didn't go anywhere afterward I'm pretty sure Toby hates me forever, though.

     Ever since Jackson died I never wanted any guy to touch me in any way, not even my dad. Jack and I had been in a certain relationship which he did the things he did because his mom did them to him. I never blamed him for what he did to me. For the pain he put me through.

     Jackson never showed it to anyone except for our close friends. They knew about the beating. Jack would get very jealous. I couldn't even talk to another guy without Jackson being there, right over my shoulder.

     When Toby tried to kiss me after the movies in his car I flipped and elbowed him in the face. I felt terrible but I was afraid he was going to be another Jackson and as much and I loved and still love Jackson I can't take more of that.

     Toby didn't deserve that at all. I lead him on in all ways possible and I just pushed him away.

     Just when things were going good I ruined it all.

     I always ruin it all.

     Wait so I do like him? My feelings confuse the heck out of me. God.
