"Why Can't I"

It was finally Friday and I was dreading it. I'd been completely avoiding Henry since he pulled that stunt in the man cave. I haven't gone to work and I haven't sat and had lunch with my friends. I actually found Chris and sat with him and his friends. Today I might be on my own because during lunch the basketball players are supposed to be having a lunch in the teachers lounge and that includes Chris and all his friends.

Oddly enough, ignoring Henry was easy until I saw him yesterday making out with Bianca by his locker. I actually scoffed. After that anytime I saw them I just got this sick feeling in my stomach but I got over it very quickly.

"Charlotte!" Chris called snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at him then I looked straight.

"Boy, it's a green light go!" I yelled at him and he smiled, then continued driving to school.

"What had you so distracted?" He asks.

"Still thinking about Henry." I mutter and he sighs.

"Why don't you just talk to him then you big baby?" Chris teases.

"I will have you know, I am not a baby and he is the one who has to make the first move. I don't care if he's in my life or not." I declare.

"Yeah that tough girl shit don't work on me. He was your best friend and I think you like him but don't want to admit it." Chris says and I start laughing. This boy has no idea how wrong he is. I actually like Chris but I'm not going to tell him that.

"Oh he's not who I like. Anyways yeah you bring out a good point, was my best friend." I point out.

"I misspoke, he still is your best friend. Don't ruin your life like that nor his for the matter. Matter of fact, you guys have to do that project today, talk then." Chris says and suddenly I regret telling him so much but he was so easy to talk to and he told me so much about him in exchange. I glare at him as he pulls into the school parking lot.

"I feel you trying to burn my skin off. Oh before I forget, the team is allowed to invite 4 people to lunch, me and the guys will vouch for you if you want to come." Chris throws at me.

"Yes please, I did not want to see Henry." I say happy I've got an excuse.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." I swear Chris whispers but when I look at him he's looking around for a parking spot. He finally finds one and pulls into it. We get out the car and walk inside.

"I'm gonna talk to him. Thanks Chris." I say once we're at my locker.

"Anytime short stuff." He says and I punch him. He groans.

"Now I gotta go to the nurse. Anyways when the lunch bell rings meet me at my locker." He says and I nod. He smiles then walks off. The kid is a huge sweetheart and that smile, that damn smile is just so amazing. I shake my head and open my locker, I get out my books then lock my locker. I head to class early which is what I've been doing all week. I get there and I see Henry and Bianca inside completely absorbed in each other. She's on his lap and they're making out.

Of course, they're so disgusting. I just stand outside the room and wait for the bell to ring.

"Henry, we have to go past this. Don't you want to feel my lips elsewhere?" I hear Bianca fail at saying seductively.

"B, I'm fine with making out-"

"Don't want you want to be better than fine ?"

"When I want you, I'll tell you." Henry says and he sounds annoyed.

"No get off, I'm not in the mood now." I hear Henry say.

"You always do this!" I hear Bianca say, raising her voice a bit.
