I'm Still Into You

Chapter One

|Chapter One: The Three Words I've Been Waiting For|

Jessica

Summer ended fast than I was expecting. I was kinda excited for school because all summer all I did was clean, eat, sleep, read, and serve my aunt and uncle. My bestfriend is nowhere in sight, he had to leave for the summer to travel around the world while I was stuck here in Los Angeles.

Here I am, all dressed up wearing my denim shorts, a printed t-shirt, and my galaxy Vans, my brown curly lucks was tied into a messy ponytail and for the finishing touch, I wore my huge eyeglasses. I was ready to go to the mall and buy my school supplies, but my nice, I mean my cruel aunt was calling my name.

"Jessica!!! Go run to the nearest pharmacy and buy your uncle his medicine, will you?" Aunt Lily asked rudely.

As I was asked, I ran to the nearest pharmacy. I bought my uncle his meds and went out of the store 10 minutes flat.

I shivered... I feel like someone is watching me from afar.

I walked as a cold breeze past by me. Again with the shivers. Why do I feel so light-headed all of a sudden?

My surroundings was darkening as I began to fall. I felt warm hand that caught me from behind.

Someone did follow me! But, I can't identify if wether it's a guy or a girl. But I remembered his/her scent, smells like vanilla.

Then everything went dark.

"Jess are you okay? Jess? I better take you to a hospital."

- - - - - - - - -

I opened my eyes and scanned the room. This doesn't look like the hospital, this bedroom looks like -

"Jessica! Your awake," His crystal blue eyes is the first thing I noticed. The eyes which I always gaze upon. And it's my bestfriend's eyes.

"Nathan!!! I missed you!" I hugged him tightly, and I remembered his scent which I liked. I then remembered this scent, he was the one following me earlier, the smell of vanilla.

"Wait! Wait...." I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"I hate you!" I screamed.

"What did I do?" He asked again.

"Oh, Nate, don't act like you don't know," As I'm getting angrier and angrier.

"Don't know what?"

"I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE SOMEONE CREEPING ME OUT!"

"Oh.... That," He faked a smile, "I can explain."

I raised my eyebrow, "Okay, maybe I can't," He said. "I'm really sorry for that, and I didn't expect you to pass out."

I glimpsed at the clock, and it's already 9:34 a.m. SHIZ!!! My uncle's meds.

I tried to get out of his bed, but he stopped me. "I already brought it to your uncle," Whoa, how did he know I was-

"I knew you would try to get out of bed and give the medicine to your uncle so I went there and brought it to him," He explained. Was he trying to read my mind?

I shall test him, I stared at his eyes and started thinking about unicorns. Let's see if he would guess what I'm thinking.

"Now, what are you trying to do?" He questioned.
