Can't Hide My Love

Chapter 13

*Monday at School*
Demi: *putting her books into her locker and getting out her Math book*
Joe: *comes up to her* Hello beautiful.
Demi: Hey Joe... JOE! *hugs him* Oh my gosh what happened? I thought you were suspended.
Joe: The principal lifted the suspension because they need me for the game next Saturday.
Demi: Oh my gosh yeah that's awesome. *kisses him*
Joe: So where's your partner in crime?
Demi: She said she needed some time alone. Is Nick still upset at her?
Joe: I don't know, probably. He won't talk to anyone. Not even our mom.
Demi: Poor Nick. I hope they work it out somehow.
Joe: Me too. I hate seeing both of them like this.
Demi: Well if I know Sel, she'll find a way.

*With Selena*
*Selena's POV*

I really screwed up big time with Nick. I mean he's like a brother to me. I can't stand losing him. I can't believe he just leave like that. We made a pact that once Taylor left for college he'll protect me like the sister he never had. He was suppose to be happy for me not just drop me like I'm the school's meatloaf.

*Selena hears footsteps*
Selena: Hey Justin.
Justin: How did you know it was me?
Selena: You're the only other person I know that knows about this place.
Justin: Dang it and I was planning I  scaring you.
Selena: *fake gasps* Meanie. *pouts*
Justin: Well I'm your meanie. *kisses her*
Selena: *giggles* You're so weird.
Justin: *puts his hand over his heart* You hurt my feelings.
Selena: Aww too bad. *sticks out her tongue*
Justin: So how are you feeling?
Selena: Not good. If he would just talk to me, maybe we can find a compromise or something.
Justin: Sel he wants you to be his girlfriend, he's not going to look for a compromise.
Selena: Ughh why does my life have to be so hard. *puts her head on her lap*
Justin: *rubs her back* Well one certain person once told me 'That's life what are you going to do about it.' *smiles*
Selena: *lifts up her head* Let me guess that person was me right.
Justin: *nods* Yup. Ms. Optimistic.
Selena: How do you do it?
Justin: Do what?
Selena: You make it seem like nothing is wrong. You make everything better.
Justin: I don't know, maybe it's my personality. *smiles*
Selena: Well never change. *smiles*
Justin: I wouldn't dream of it. *winks*
Selena: *giggles, about to kiss him when*

*The bell rings*
Selena: *turns towards the school* Aww school is starting. *turns back to Justin* We should...
Justin: *kisses her and pulls away after a minute* The bell doesn't mean anything.
Selena: *giggles and puts her arms around him and kisses him*

*At Lunch*

*Justlena walking in the cafeteria holding hands*
Justin: Wow it's been so long since I've been in this lunchroom.
Selena: *giggles* I think you spend too much time in the woods. Don't turn into Tarzan on me now.
Justin: Tarzan lives in a jungle. *laughs*
Selena: Oh whatever. *laughs but stops when she sees Nick.*
Justin: What's wrong babe?
Selena: Uhh it's nothing. *looks down*
Justin: If you want to talk to him just go.
Selena: Really?
Justin: Yes. *kisses her forehead* Good luck.
Selena: *goes to Nick* Nick!
Nick: *gets upset and starts to leave*
Selena: *grabs his arm* Nick please. Can we just talk?
Nick: ...
