Hate That I Love You

Chapter Two.

Looking at my watch I notice class is nearly over, so I pack my things up and place the bag strap on my shoulder. Waiting for the bell to ring I glance around the room, the only thing I notice is that his eyes are on me once again, smiling at me I smile back, and look to the front of the class again, just as the bell rings.

Leaving class as soon as I can, I walk towards the car park and just as I’m about to unlock my car I feel a hand on my shoulder, making me jump slightly.

"Do you want to run out of class any quicker?" I turn around to see Justin "What the fuck, you scared me" I say, placing a hand to my heart, feeling it beating rapidly.

"Sorry, didn't mean to. I just wanted to ask you something" he tells me, putting his hands in his pockets. Folding my arms across my chest and adjusting my bag on my shoulder "Go on" I say.

"Me and a few friends are having a party tonight, do you want to come?" Justin asks. Taken aback by the question I unfold my arms and cough, as if the words were stuck in my throat "Erm yeah sure, maybe" I stutter awkwardly. Justin smiles and looks at the ground, looking back up his eyes meet mine "Pass me your phone" He says, holding his hand out to me.

I take my phone out of my back pocket and hand it to him "We've got each others numbers, I'll text you my address later, be there around nine ok?" Handing my phone back to me, I put it back in my pocket "Sure, sounds good" I reply, turning around and unlocking my car.

"Holy shit this is your ride?" He asks, placing a hand on top of the car admiring it "Are you loaded or something?" he continues.

Smiling to myself knowing the real reason I have a Bugatti, dream car for all guys right?

"Not quite" I answer, throwing my bag in the car "See you tonight?" I say getting into my car and undoing the window whilst starting the engine "Yeah you will" Justin says looking down into the window, smiling to him as my reply. When he takes a few steps back, I reverse out of the car parking space and drive out of college, putting my music on and lighting a cigarette.

Pulling up outside my house. I chuck my cigarette out the window and switch the engine off. Sighing loudly and leaning my head back against the headrest.

Don't be a fucking idiot Pia.

He's just a guy...with his voice, his hair, his eyes and oh god that smile.

Shaking my head and snapping myself out of it. I grab my things and step out of my car, walking up the steps and letting myself in "Jason?!" I shout, wondering if anyone's home. No answer. So I run to my room, throw my hair in a messy bun and get changed to go to the gym.

-

I walk out of the gym, singing along to my music and walking towards my car when I notice someone standing against it. Turning my music off I walk over "Mind getting the fuck off my car?" I ask.

Realising who it is, my stomach drops "Still a feisty one then" he says. His name is Joe, someone my brother and I used to know.

"What do you want?" I ask, standing a good two metres away from him "I want to know where your brother is" he replies, standing up straight so he's no longer leaning against my car, but instead taking a step closer to me.

"Well I haven't seen him since yesterday morning so I don't know" I tell him, taking a step away from him to further the distance between us once again "Did you not understand the first time when he told you to stay away from me?" I continue, trying to not show how afraid I am and stand my ground. Obviously not well enough as Joe sniggers, stepping in front of me so were toe to toe, his nose almost touching mine as he leans down I feel his breath on me, sending an unwanted shiver down my spine "Just tell him I'm looking for him" he says in a low voice that makes me want to run, run so far away I'm nowhere near him. I take a deep breath and mutter a reply "Whatever"
