One Night (Austin Mahone Fanfic)

Chapter Four - "Don't start this"

I hated him, hated. I stormed away from his house and went home. I could feel my blood pulsing. Half of me wanted to punch him in the face the next time I saw him. But no, that would probably satisfy him more than anything. It would imply some sort of feelings toward him. I wouldn’t give that to him. It’s better for me to move on and just ignore him as much as I possibly could.

Ignoring him became easier than I thought. The next few days he didn’t even bother speaking to me. We both went about our business; the only time we spoke was when we had to work with our table partners in class. It got to the point where it started to irritate me. 

As much as I wanted him out of my head he consumed all my thoughts. During school we would pass each other and I would always find myself gazing in his direction. Brielle broke it off with him but he moved on. From what I heard he had things with at least four girls and he had only been in our school for a week. He was such a scumbag. I needed to get my mind off him and I was determined to find a way to this weekend.

Friday night finally came and so did an opportunity to distract me from Austin. Not long after I got home I heard the ding of my phone alerting me that I had a text message. I looked at my phone to see it was from Colton. I hesitated for a minute, took a deep breath, and then opened it.

Colton: Hey Skye, what are you doing tonight? ;)

I sighed. Colton has always had a crush on me ever since we met freshman year. He’s dated other girls since but his feelings for me have never gone away. He was a sweet guy, good-looking, varsity baseball player, overall there was nothing wrong with him. Most girls would see him as the ideal boyfriend. I just never felt anything for him and I had told him this numerous times. I’ve only seen him as a best friend. I feel horrible about it but I refuse to commit myself to someone who I don’t have feelings for. It isn’t fair to him or me. But I didn’t have plans and I did enjoy hanging out with him still so I replied, 

Nothing, what do you wanna do?

Colton: If you didn’t eat yet we could go out for dinner

Sure, works for me.

Ok. Pick you up at 7?

See you then (:

Looks like I’m going out to eat, it was six o’clock now, so I had some time to get ready. I didn’t have to get too dressed up to go out with Colton, but the sweatshirt and sweatpants I had changed into afterschool wouldn’t do. I went over to my closet and pulled out something to wear. It wasn’t anything too fancy, just a pair of dark-wash jeans and a fuchsia cardigan with a white cami underneath. 

I peered out the window in my room that was at the front of the house and saw Colton’s car pulling into my driveway. I slid my phone into my purse and walked downstairs and out the door, while yelling to my mom that I was going to dinner and would be back soon. 

Colton got out of his car and smiled at me. He was about 6 foot, with blue eyes and blonde hair. 

“Hi faggot” I called out to him as I walked over to his car.

Colton chuckled, “Hi gorgeous.”

“Don’t try and make me feel bad, you know it won’t work.”

“Shut up and get in the car.”

I got in and Colton started the engine. I will admit I did get a little flirty with him, but that’s just how I am. It wasn’t intentional at all. I would never play around with his emotions on purpose.

“So where are we going to eat?” I asked as I changed the radio station

“Why don’t we go to our favorite?”
