Chapter 15

"Throw one more popcorn and see what happens." I state through gritted teeth. I hear Nick chuckling at Tyler's actions.

Chase also laughs, making my lips curl up in a small smile. "Feisty mami." Says Chase in a spanish accent making me almost faint at how sexy it was. I feel my face turn crimson as I quickly turn away.

Here I was sitting in my living room, with all of the guys bugging the heck out of me. I then hear a sound of a phone and look to see Tyler groan in frustration. His eyebrows arch down as he speedily types in his phone, "look, i gotta go. Twas fun." He says. His eyes were still engulfed in his phone as he slammed the door on the way out.

I give the guys a what was that about look. They seem to all have to same looks as well indicitating they knew as much as me.

Chase clears his throat from the awkward silence that grew. "Should we play a game or something?" He offers.

Joey and Nick decline for whatever reason. "Sorry, I have to clean my house for guests coming." Says Nick standing up and walking out. Joey follows after, "babysitting." He says as he pulls out his phone and leaves. Why did they come here to just leave?

Chase scoots closerc to me and I give him a curious glance. "What?" He states. I shake my head and turn my face away. I then see in the corner of my eye that he was still looking at me. "What are you doing?" I ask. He tilts his head a little, "nothing." He then turns away quickly.

Silence engulfs us awkwardly. Chase clears his throat and I turn to look at him. "Is there something on my face?" I state annoyed. He quickly shakes his head, "its just...um... Y-You-" he is then cut off by my mom who walks in the room. Chase then is quiet and my mind grows curious of what he was going to say.

"Hey you two, you guys want cookies? I mind as well get rid of them before they get old." My mom offers. I nod my head excitely and Chase shrugs. Mom smiles and scurries off to the kitchen.

"What was you going to say?" I ask Chase still curious. He bites his lip, then shakes his head.

I wonder what it was. Did I have something on my face?

Chase

I look at Mel as her curious eyes get bigger.

"What was you going to say?" She askes.

You are my weakness, my sunshine, my world.

But then something in my mind doesn't want to say what my mind thinks. Its like for the first time, I actually get nervous around a girl. My confident vibe is gone, and I feel like that shy 6 year old asking to borrow a crayon from a girl.

Im actually scared to get rejected by this girl.

What happened to being able to talk to girls so easily?

"Nothing." I finally respond. I watch as her curious eyes still remain.

I'm so scared of rejection, I can't say what I want. What if she doesn't feel the same way? What if she finds me a creep and doesn't want to be friends?

What if?

Its so scary, its hurts. This short time with this one girl has gotten me going crazy. I love this girl's quirky attitude. I love how her smile brightens her eyes. I love everything about her. I feel so close but then I feel so far.

If you only knew Mel.

Melody

Chase is acting different ever since yesterday. Like hes more quiet than usual, Its really depressing actually.

I see him walking in front of me and I run to catch up to him. I poke his arm and he raises his head and half smiles. I sigh, should I ask what's wrong? I glance up at him and his face was stern and emotionless.

"What's wrong Chase?" I ask poking him a little. He doesn't make any sort of eye contact but replies, "nothing."

I feel my heart drop dissappointed by the lack of emotion Chase had. I bite my lip and stare straight ahead in silence.

I then notice Tyler walking the opposite way of us with headphones jammed in his ear as he had a grumpy look on his face. Is every guy on their period or something? I wave at Tyler and he smiles and continues walking.

I once again glance up at Chase and I watch him quickly look away. What was he looking at?

I make a turn for my class and my mind is scattered. What is with everyone today?

"What's wrong Mel?" Joey askes me.

"Chase is acting weird." I reply and i shift my eyes to Joey's. He looks nervously at me. "I mean mr player is actually acting non-cofinident for once." I state. Joey frowns and places his hand on mine. "Im sure he will come around." He says giving my hand a squeeze. I smile at his kindness. Atleast he isnt acting like hes on his period.

I stare at Joey for a second and clear my throat. "I need to tell you something, but promise me you won't tell anyone." I say. Joey tilts his head before slowly noddin. "Promise."

My heart pounds in my ears making me nervous to say anything. Its about time to admit it to someone.

"I like Chase." I spit out almost too quickly. Self reminder, tell Gabby as well (even though she will do her 'im right' dance).

Joey looks at me and bites his lip slowly. "Wow, I kind of already knew that." He says nonchalantly. He then mumbles under his breath, "dang it, I owe Tyler 20$."

I do a double take, "what? How!" I say. Joey rolls his eyes dramatically. "Its obvious, trust me." He says. That then makes me self conscience if Chase noticed it. "Your'e the first person I told since your'e one of his close friends." I admit. Joey smiles, "of course."

"Well, I figure it would help me with advice."

"Hm." Joey says in thought. "Well im really not sure why he's acting the way he is but, I think I know a way to cheer him up."
