I'm stunned. Did that just happen? Was it a dream? Nope, it was real. I stare blankly into his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes. He smiles at me. "I like you, Eliza. I love you!" I wrap my arms around him and bury my head into his shoulder. "I love you too." I feel so safe in his arms, it's unbelievable. Everything is going perfect until...
"CHANDLER!" I hear a girl scream and I look up. She is blonde, and has tears pouring down her face. I don't recognize her until Chandler gets a look of terror and says "Rachel..."
I completely forgot. I stood there helplessly while I watched him run over to her while she screams curse words, insults, and threats at me. I have no idea what to do. She wipes her tears away and starts yelling at me. I've never been good at comebacks, and I know whatever I say, she will continue to disagree. Only after 10 seconds of it, Chandler pulls Rachel away and just whispers to her. I can't understand what they're saying to each other, but I don't care. I run away to my Jeep and drive home as fast as I can. It's 9:30 and my parents are out. My older sister Alaina is the only one home. I'm not really sure why, but after I plop down on the couch, I bury my face in my hands and start crying. Alaina comes out from the music room and sits beside me asking what's wrong. I have to explain everything to her, from seeing him for the first time to the kiss to Rachel. She's surprised. After all, she didn't even know that Josh & I even broke up! Her advice to me was to just wait until they either make up or break up and take it from there. Of course I want them to break up, but I have a gut feeling that Rachel won't let that happen.At school the next day, we all 3 wore our matching outfits. People compliment us all throughout the day, but I notice that 2 people aren't at school. Chandler and Rachel. I have no clue what may have happened after I left, they probably got back together or something...
The only people I tell about the kiss yet is my sister and Caroline. Even though she knows I wouldn't lie to her, she still pretends to not believe me. She's super excited, and says that she can't wait until he asks me out. Yeah right.
The school day dreads on and on, lasting for centuries. When the last bell finally rings, I'm eager to leave and walk home. When I turn around the corner into a hallway, a boy grabs my arm and pulls me aside. At first I think it's Chandler, but it's not. It's a boy that I've seen around school a lot. He strokes my hair and says "You're beautiful." I have no words, I love Chandler, not this boy. "Who are you?" I say. "Shawn." he replies.
