The Boy Next door

Chapter 7: Was Amanda right?

After Amanda had talked to me I went to my last class which Taylor had switched into last 'A' day. I don't know why I'm so worried about the 'doing then dumping' situation. Taylor noticed I was worried about something because of my expression when he walked in.

-'Hey Ken. You okay?' he said really concerned.

-'Oh hey Tay. Yea I'm fine. No big deal.' I felt my voice start to get shakey.

-'Wannna talk after school? I'll drive you home if you want.'

-'Yea. Sure.'

The bell rang. Taylor walked back to his desk, sat down, flipped around and winked at me. I couldn't help but laugh at how dumb he looked doing that.

After school got let out I saw Amanda again. It was weird. She gave me a look like she was worried about me. Why? We never have talked until today. Taylor came up behind me and scared the crap out of me and kissed me on the cheek. Waoh, that was unexpected for both me and Taylor.

-'Oh god sorry Ken.' he said covering his face in embarrassment.

-'Ha. It's okay.'

After that we walked to his car. Once we got in I was hoping he forgot what he was going to ask me.

-'So Ken, why were you so shaken up last period?' he said while starting the car.

Should I tell him or keep it to myself? He knows I'm the kind of person to say what's on my mind. So I'll just tell him.

-'You know Amanda? Well today before last period she came up to me saying you do then dump every girl. She said you did it to her over the summer. Is she lying?'

Taylor's face turned so pale like he had just seen a ghost. Was she being serious? Oh my god, she was.

-'Taylor... Answer my question.'

He refused to. He started to drive the car back home without saying a word. I got mad and just sat back staring out the window till we got home. Once we got home I got out of the car and went to my house. Taylor grabbed my arm and flung me around. Our chests touching was really awkward for me. Before I knew it our lips interlocked. His were so soft and fluffy, like a feather pillow.

-'Ken. I would never do that to you. You're different. A good kind of different. Amanda and I did get together over the summer but it was nothing. She used me anyways. Don't listen to people like her. It's all drama and lies.'

I believed what he said. After that day me and Amanda made eye contact in the hallways and that was it. She still had that sorry look on her face. Weird.

A/N: Heyy!! Ohhh drama is starting to stir up!! What will Amanda do next? Just keep reading!
