E-Knee-Meanie-My-Knee-Mo

Chapter 5

My legs vibrate as Zach's golf cart shakes up and down. We sit in silence.

"Sooooo" zach says trying to start a conversation. "How was your day?" He asks. "Ehh, could've been better" I say. "What about you?" I add. "Same as you" he says.

We sit in silence once again. Weird. Me and zach are never this awkward around each other.

In what feels like forever, we finally get to Justin's place.

Zach turns off the engine. I spot Christi walking in with Rachel, Renee, and Amanda. When did they become friends.

Rachel, Amanda, Renee and Grace were always 'popular' or whatever you want to call it. Apparently, Christi is now apart of the group.

"LENA! HEY WHATS UP!" Renee calls. Me and Renee were close but not close enough to hangout outside of school.

I smile. "Hey Renee!" I yell. I turn around to tell zach that I was going to say hi, but he was gone. His golfcart was still there. Weird.

"Hey Lena" It's Christi. "Oh hey" I say not making eye contact with her.

We all walk into the party. There are plastic hearts everywhere. Justin lives in a mansion so it's pretty roomy.

I quickly spot Grace and Justin. Grace has her legs folded around him and Justin is holding her up by her butt. Grace is up against the wall and their lips are mushed together.

This is gonna be a long night.

"Hey Lena!" It's Leslie. "Oh hey!" I say. "I thought you said you were dressing casual" she says with a laugh. "Girl for me this is casual" I say laughing.

30 minutes later me and Leslie sit on the couch watching a boring football game. Leslie really likes football so she's really into it, but I hate football.

"Umm I'm gonna go get some more punch" I say trying to get away from the crowded couch.

I walk over to the punch bowl, but some guy is standing right in front of it. "Excuse me" I say quietly.

I guess he didn't hear me because the guy doesn't budge. "Could you please move??" I ask impatiently. The guy turns around and I realize it's Seth.

"What if I don't want to" he says playfully. I smile and I can feel my face redden. I laugh.

"Okay fine I'll move" he says with a smirk. I fill up my cup and turn around.

"Mind if I have a sip?" He asks. Umm the cups are literally right there...

"Yea sure" I say handing him the cup. He takes a sip and hands me the cup back. "Thanks" he says. I smile. He's so adorable.

"You look cold" he says. I wasn't really that cold, but know that he mentioned it, it was getting kind of chilly.

"Yea I am" I tell him. "Do you want my jacket?" He asks. I actually brought my jacket I just left it on the couch. "Yea sure" I say grinning from cheek to cheek.

He takes off his jacket and puts it on me. It smells like cologne. His jacket is huge on me and goes almost all the way down to my knees.

"How do I look?" I ask spinning around in a circle. He laughs "Beautiful as always" he says grabbing my hand. Oh my gosh he's never been this way around me. He pulls me into his arms, then hugs me.

"Umm excuse me?" It's Rachel. Her and Seth were dating for like two months, but Seth broke it off because he said she was to rude. Which was actually kind of true.

"Oh sorry, maybe me and Lena should go into room. It's a lot more private in there anyway" Seth tells her with a smirk on his face. Rachel looks betrayed. Seth leads me to a bedroom before I can get the chance to respond.

He closes the door behind us and locks it. Of course... It's the master bedroom. He sits on the bed and signals for me to sit down next to him.

I walk over to the bed and sit down next to him. "I need to talk to you about something" he tells me politely.

"Okay" I say trying to keep a straight face. He smiles and says, "I can't stop thinking about you" I've imagined this scenario in my head a million times and it doesn't feel as good as I thought it would.

"I can't stop thinking about you either" I say quietly. "Your so beautiful" he tells me. Geez what's up with everybody calling me beautiful!?

"Thanks" I say looking down at my shoes. "I've liked you ever since sixth grade I've just never had the guts to say it" he tells me grabbing my hand.

"But you had the guts to ask Rachel out and go out with her for 2 months" I mutter under my breathe.

"That was a mistake, really it was. I thought you didn't like me so, I wanted a distraction" he told me grabbing my other hand.

"You dated her for a distraction? How should I know your not just liking me for a distraction??" I ask him.

"No no no, that's not what I meant. I did like her, I just liked you more. I started to like her a lot but she started to be really rude to me and my friends while we were dating, so I broke it off." He says.

"Okay yea, yea, your right. I'm sorry." I say squeezing his hands. He smiles. "Lena. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks me.

A rush of thoughts go through my head. Does he still like Rachel? Is it worth it? Does he actually like me? Do I actually like him? Omg it's finally happening. I'm going to say yes!

And then the scariest thought came across my mind.

But I like Zach.

Who do you like better? Zach or Seth? ;)
