The one that almost got away

Chapter 4 kendall

The whole night, I try to avoid him. I had told him off, and I didn't really want to be alone with him. Just in case some one has some anger issues.

I spare a Quick glance at Lincoln, luckily he seems to have recovered from the "traumatizing" argument. He is talking to Liam, probably about the next girl he wants to try and seduce.

His eyes flit towards me.

crap!

I look away, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. i fan myself, as the building suddenly becomes very hot. Lincoln had just caught me staring at him, how stupid could I be?

I wait until I calm down, to look back towards my friends. Only to look away again, when I see Lincoln still looking at me.

I sigh, and check the time on my phone.

9:30 pm.

I needed to get home, " kam, I think it's time for me to go home" all at once, Ryan, Noah, and kamron groan.

" you can't stay for another hour?" Asks kamron, sipping on his Pepsi.

I think for a moment, my gaze flitting towards Lincoln. I didn't want to stay another hour, I could because in all honesty I really didn't have any homework to do. But I don't think that I could stay and let Lincoln watch me for another hour.

I shake my head, and look at Ryan with pleading eyes. She must have got the hint, because she clapped her hands together and turned towards the boys.

" I, um actually need to get back, I have some.. things to do"

I grind my teeth, Ryan was a horrible liar, but she tried her best. And in the end, her best was all we needed.

" okay.." Noah sighs, threading his hands through his hair. he slaps his thighs, then gets to his feet. offering each of us a hand. I take it, and let his strength pull me to my feet.

" we are gonna finish this last game.. so we will meet you out there okay?" karmon asks hopefully.

the three of us nod. He gives us a thumbs up, and turns back to the game. I turn, and lead my two best friends out of the bowling ally.

I sigh in relief once outside, the cool air welcomes me. I look back inside to where the other three boys were playing the bowling game.

Lincoln is sitting with his back towards the door, I feel like I can breathe again. The way he had been watching me all night, gave me the creeps.

He wasn't bad looking, like it said he is the hottest boy in school. But he is also the heart throb. So that means I wouldn't be caught doing anything with him, even if he was the last guy on earth.

...

" hi honey how was your night out?" My mom asks, she looks up from her book.

I shrug, and sigh. " it was fine.." I hang my jacket on the coat rack. And then make my way upstairs to my bedroom.

I push open my bedroom door, and flop onto my bed. My night would have been better if Lincoln wasn't there.

I strip off my clothes until I'm down to my undergarments. Then I crawl under my sheets, enjoying the cool cloth against my skin.

My gaze travels to the ceiling, and in think back through this night. It was okay I guess, and maybe.. Just maybe I was a little too hard on Lincoln, I could have let him down easier.

Noooope.. What am I thinking? He needed to be fed his own Medicine once in a while, he had taken advantage of too many girls, and I wasn't going to be one of them. In fact I refuse.

...

The next day at school, I'm basically a walking zombie. It didn't help, when Ryan told me about the party on Friday night, she was forcing my to go...

I shuffle down the hall way towards my locker, I unlock the lock and start to rummage through for my science notes. I was screwed if I didn't find them by today. I rub my face with my palm, trying to wake myself up.

It felt like something was forcing my eyes closed, and any minute I was going to fall asleep standing up. So I quickly find my note book, and slam my locker shut.

As I turn to leave, I slam into someone. My papers going flying, and I sprawl onto the ground. I growl in frustration, looking up at who knocked my down.

My mood darkens even more, when I realize the person is Lincoln. He looks down at me with an amused bright blue gaze. Man did I hate that, bright, piercing, blue gaze. And how it looked at me in a daze. And..

No! Stop it!

I frown at Lincoln, when his hand stretches out to help me up. I refuse and start to gather my papers. Lincoln bends down, and starts to help me.

" no, stop I got it" I say trying to brush him away, but he ignores me and keeps gathering papers. I grind my teeth, trying not to lash out.

We both get to our feet, and he hands me the papers. I rip them from his grip, eyeing him warily. " what do you think you are doing?" I ask accusingly.

His eyes widen, " what? Me, just helping someone out" he smiles, but then it disappears. " I mean, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.. Um.. Are you okay?"

I narrow my eyes, hoping that me shooting daggers will scare him off. " yes.. I'm fine" I say, before pushing past him. I walk quickly down the hall, all the while I can feel his gaze burning into my back.

 This was definitely not how I planned to be, I wanted to be able to ignore Lincoln with out any problems. But now, I was starting to get lost in his eyes..

Quickly I turn into my last period of the day, Biology. YAY.

Ryan sits next to her lab partner, busy looking into her notes. The test was today, which meant we also had to turn in our notes. Luckily, I had done them before hand and I was pretty confident on my knowledge.

But for some reason, Lincoln's face keeps entering into my mind. I growl in Frustration as I sit into my spot, next to Noah.  I shove any thoughts that aren't about the test, to the back of my mind. and  ignore Noah's teasing pokes, turning  towards the front of the room.

This was going to be the worst class period of the day.
