Chapter 7

I part of me just wants to stay in bed forever, just lay there with my IPod playing anything I want and not have a care in the world. But then reality sets in and I have to get up and go to University. Great, I sigh just when I avoided both Spencer and Jake all weekend I just still don’t want to face them Monday morning. And if you ask my sister I am so not a morning person, hmm she learnt that the hard way. I decide to get up and go have a shower and get ready. I glance at the clock and it reads 8:30AM and it feels like its freaking 5:00AM.

I arrive at Uni at 9:30AM and just wait in my car and see if Spencer or Jake is around, thankfully there not here and have I half an hour to my lecture. I just wanted to get here early, because no gets here that early for is Mr Anderson’s lectures. I make one last look around and head for the lecture room just when I thought I was alone I hear a voice and footsteps behind me.

“You always get here early when you want to be alone.” He says in a soft voice and immediately I know who it is. I turn around and I’m face to face with Spencer looking down at me with a small smile playing on his lips.

“Yeah… that’s kind of the point Spencer. What are you doing here anyway?” I asked angry to see him here when he was the last person I wanted to see.

“I know, I needed to see you after you didn’t pick up my phone calls all weekend I figured you would ignore me. So this was the only way I could talk to you.” He said frustrated.

“Talk then.” I said a bit too quickly, I haven’t seen this side of myself before, I never usually get this angry at Spencer, he notices it too.

He looks me in the eyes and moves closer. “Look Peyton, I know you’re angry at me and I’m so sorry I never wanted it to be like this-“

I cut him off before he could finish his sentence. “Then why did you do it then? To prove a point to Jake that you could only have me? Or to just get even because he kissed me first, tell me Spencer.” I said shouting at him furiously, running my hands through my long brown hair.

He let out a huge sigh and looked at his shoes before returning to me. “Peyton it wasn’t like that I have liked you ever since high school and I do not want to lose you to some guy who you just met. I don’t want to see you get hurt and I want to be here for you but I can’t do that when you’re with him.” He finished and looked at me with hopeful eyes.

“Spencer I like you to ok, but you’re my best friend you have been sticking by me forever and I can’t thankyou enough for that. But I only see you as a friend, and I don’t want to lose you if we become something more and never be the same again.” I said looking into his big brown eyes hoping he can understand where I’m coming from.

He stayed silent for a minute still lost in thought. “Ok, I get it, and I just want us to be friends again, only if you still want me as a friend.” He said in a small voice and gave me a small smile.

I looked at him and bit my lip thinking. “Spence, of course we can still be friends you are my bestie after all.” I said with a smile while walking closer to wrap my arms around him, he did the same with his strong arms that held my small figure tight.

He sighed and said smiled into my hair, and breathed “Thankyou Peyton, You will always be my bestie as well.” He chuckled.

JAKE’S POV

“What the hell’s up with you, you look like a sad loner.” I heard a voice coming from the kitchen and turned to see it was my older sister Shay.

“Wow… coming from the loneliest girl I know.” I said with a cocky attitude which I knew she hated she turned to look at me and poked her tongue out at me. “Childish much?” I asked her she just laughed.

“Haha funny, so what has this girl done to make you feel this way aye? That’s right I know things, now start talking.” She said with a serious voice and I knew it was either soon or later she was going to start asking questions.

“Whatever Shay, there is no girl.” I said confidently trying to show my poker face hoping she would buy it.

“Don’t bullshit me Jake, I know that face. Now spit it out what did you do now?” she said crossing her arms in front of her chest glaring at me. Wow she’s good, she knows me to well and she’s only 22.

“Fine, I sighed “yes there’s a girl but how do you know I was the one to screw up?” I asked confident but I knew she would catch on, even if I tried.

“Because guys are usually the ones doing the screwing up.” She stated matter of factly. Shit, she is like my councillor right now, think Jake think.

 “Ahhhh, don’t worry sis I gotta run late for Uni catch ya.” I said really fast and heading for the door way and grabbed my keys and satchel and headed for my bike. Ok I know I sounded like a girl but that was the only way I could get rid of her she is so demanding.

“Jake Will Andrews!! You come back here right now!” she yelled on the top of her lungs. I cut her voice off with the slam of the front door and run towards my bike and shoved my things in my satchel and drove as fast as I could. ‘Know you have pissed her off even more Jake, well done.’ The voice inside my head said to me. Now I have to face Peyton, oh boy.

PEYTON’S POV

After Spencer and I made up we began walking together to the Lecture Hall towards our lecture room it was almost 10am. I sighed as I sat next to Spencer towards the back of the lecture room. Mr Anderson began writing notes on the white board. Just when the room was filling up a familiar face walked in as confident as ever glancing at me in the corner of his eye. He looked like he was not affected by all the girls that was swooning over him as he walked past them, still maintained my gaze. He was walking towards me and Spencer and ended up sitting exactly behind me.

“I know you hate me right now, but can we talk later?” he whispered in my ear in a soft voice while Mr Anderson had his back turned. It was tempting but I wasn’t sure, I did still need to talk to him.

“Meet me behind the back of the Lecture Hall.” I turned back and whispered he gave me a smirk and nodded while I was thinking how that conversation would go Spencer was giving Jake the evil eye, and had a look of obvious jealousy written across his face. I sighed and pretended I didn’t notice and had a small smile playing on my lips as Mr Anderson was boring the crap out of me. I was wandering what Jake was going to say to me, thinking if we could finally be together.
