Don't wanna be torn

Chapter 14

"I don't understand this!" I yell at Daniel and throw my pencil down on my pre-calculus notes.

"Come on it's not that hard if you put in enough effort." He says, trying to calm me down because I'm getting frustrated.

    "You know what. Let's just take a little break and we'll just come back to that problem." He states, while closing the textbook.

"Okay, that's fine."
  
          "Do you want anything to drink, eat or whatever?" He asks nicely.

"Nope, I'm fine." I reply simply.

      "So...how are you and Lucas going to work out?" Daniel asks, catching me by surprise.

"What do you mean?"

       "Don't go all Justin Bieber on me. You know what I mean."

"No seriously. I really don't."

     "Do you like him? Are you going to give him a shot ya know? You two should go out like on a date or something or at least get to know each other more." 

"Don't you think I should be asking you this stuff." I say, leaning back comfortably waiting for what he has to say next.

       "True.I already know how he feels about you but I'm not going to speak on too much." He says with a smirk.

"You're horrible if you don't tell me how he feels towards me."

       "I guess I'm just going to be horrible then." He says while shrugging his shoulders. I then throw my pencil at him.

I don't even try to argue with him to find out because I have a feeling he isn't going to tell me. I kind of have an idea anyway. I feel whatever happens, happens between Lucas and I and that's just our business.

      I haven't even spoken to him all day today. Matter of fact I don't even think I have seen him today. It's not like I was too interested into seeing him after what Rebeca did to me. The most embarrassing thing ever.

I'm surprised that Daniel didn't mention it. Maybe he just hasn't seen the pictures yet. Or maybe he just doesn't want to bring it up to hurt my feelings and ruin the moment.

    I hear Daniel cell phone chime. He rushes over quickly and looks at his message. He looks up at me with a huge smile.

"Tutoring is over with! We need to go." He says, while scrambling to find a brown back pack out of his closet and throw some of his clothes inside. He then grabs my arm to leave along with him.

      "What?! What are you doing?! Where are we going?" I ask really confused.

"We are going for a swim!"

     "What?! Now! Where?!"

"At school. I'm real cool with a person from the swim team and he snuck into the coach's office got the key and hid it for me so I could get in."

     "If you want to swim or even like to, why don't you just join the swim team?"

"Because i didn't want to obviously."

We are out the door and now running to get in his black truck by now. He lives closer to the school than me and Hillary. We take less then 10 minutes to get there.

     It's really dark but luckily Daniel brought a flashlight. We get out of the car and sneakily run across the parking lot to a big building. I see Daniel dig in the dirt and get a key from under it behind a metal pole.

He unlocks the door and the door makes a loud screeching noise. When I walk in I see a huge pool with bright lights shining from under it. The water movements are really pretty and the reflection and sound is echoing throughout the building.
