Just Best Friends?

Chapter 2

"Hun, wake up," I heard my mom say in my sleep. Oh wait, she was talking to me in real life. I opened my eyes.

"Yeah, mom?" I asked her in my sleepy voice.

"I woke you up just 5 minutes before you're alarm rang because I wanted to tell you that I have to leave to work right now and have to stay late, okay? Breakfast is ready in the kitchen, just microwave it if it's too cold."

I nodded and with that she left. Guess I'll just get ready now. I disactivated my alarm since I didn't want it to blast my head off. Once I got changed, I went downstairs for breakfast. Mom had made a good ass omelet that I shoved down my throat. I then heard a car horn outside my house. It was probably Chris. I grabbed my bag and ran out the door. I got into the passenger's seat and greeted him.

"Hey," he said, "you will never guess how many subscribers I reached since I uploaded the video yesterday."

I lifted my eyebrows. "How many?"

"Almost 60K," he said grinning. (A/N: The amount of subscribers he has in the story may not be the same as he has in real life.)

"Wow! That's great! I'm so proud of you,"

"It wasn't me, it was my looks. They did all the work," he grinned cheekily. Wow. So much ego for a 16-year-old.

When we arrived, we walked to my locker. He was telling me about all the comments we got on the video while I was unlocking it, when someone suddenly spun me arround and kissed me. HE KISSED ME. I pulled out of the kiss and looked up to see Jai. JAI FLIPPING BROOKS JUST KISSED ME WUT. I looked at Chris for help when I saw his face. Wait, why would he kiss me? I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY TALKED TO HIM BEFORE. My life is getting screwed up by the second. Chris had hurt written all over his face and his eyes were glossy like they were on Friday. Then, turned around and walked away as fast as he could. What the hell? He just saw that I did it unvoluntarily! I tried going after him, but Jai pulled me back.

"Hey, so you're coming to the dance with me, right?"

"I'm sorry, Jai, but I can't," I said trying to walk past him again, but he stopped me once more.

"But you have to!" He blurted out.

I looked at him like he was crazy and walked away. Until he came and started walking next to me.

"Please, go with me. I promise you'll have a great time."

I looked up at him. "I'll talk to you later" I said, my heart melting.

He nodded and smiled. I blushed.

"See ya later, Gina," he said and walked away.

I looked everywhere for Chris, even asked someone to check the boys' bathroom, but I couldn't find him. It was an accident! I didn't think he would say anything since he was right there when it happened all. Then I got a message. I looked at it.

From Christian <3

I quickly opened it. Maybe he would finally tell me where he was.

You promised me that you weren't going to the dance with that stupid kid. You promised. You said that he wasn't worth it yourself.

I texted him back.

To Christian <3

Chris! I never agreed to go to the dance with him! Please, you have to understand that I had nothing to do with that kiss. He just came up to me! You were there!

I waited for five minutes and he didn't answer. K, now I'm pissed. Stupid Chris. If he's just giving up on our friendship like that, then I guess I can, too. And I also guess that means that he won't be affected by me going to the dance with Jai.

"I AIN'T GONNA DISAPPEAR, YEAH,

HOLDIN' UP MY SHEILD,

NO MORE PRETENDING HERE,

IM FIGHTING BEST, BEST, BEST,

GONNA PUT MY SWAGGER ON,

YEAH, HEADED TO THE TOP,

GONNA BE THE BEST, THE BEST,

THE BEST FOR ME"

I groaned as Chris's song blared through my phone. I checked the time. Yep, time to wake up. I chucked my phone at the wall for even thinking that it would be okay to have his song as my alarm. Stupid phone. God, he follows me everywhere.

As I was yanking my jeans on and pulling my shirt on, someone knocked on my door.

"Come in," I called.

She opened the door and stuck her head in and said, "Someone's hear to see you."

Before I could ask her who it was, she had already left. I did my hair quickly and went downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed one of the waffles on the table and started eating it as I walked out the door. Then, I saw him. Chris. He was leaning agianst his hummer waiting for me. HAHA good one. How about no. WHATTHEHELLWASHEDOINGHERE. I scoffed and walked past him fast. He ran to the drivers seat and started the car. Before he could catch up to me, though, I jumped into the public bus and it left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once I got to school, I walked to my locker. I wonder if Bri is also mad at me. Probably not, considering she was fangirling about the text, too. But why would Chris overreact, though? Ugh, he's so.... I don't know. Overprotective, I guess. WHY. He's NEVER let me go near another guy except for my dad, and he's not even my brother. I've known Chris since the 4th grade. He's the reason why I've never had any boyfriends. I tried dating a guy behind his back in 8th grade, but when he found out, he blasted me all the way to China. I promised my self I wouldn't do it again. So ever since, I had only two choices: Not date any guys and not date any guys.

I opened my locker and took out my binders. When I closed it, I saw Jai coming. I waved and smiled at him, and he did too. He wrapped me in a hug and kissed my cheek.

"Hey, so you coming to the dance?" he asked me. Gosh, he's so persistent.

"Yeah, I am." I said.

"Good, I'll come pick you up at 7:00." he said as he left to class. Funny how he never acted like a gentleman. Well at least that's how guys do it in movies.

I closed my locker and started walking to class when I saw Bri.

"Bri!" I said waving so she would see me.

She finally saw me and came over.

"Hey, do you know what's wrong with Chris? I saw him slumped down next to a tree near the front." she asked me.

"He got pissed because Jai kissed me after I had said that I wasn't going to the dance with him. Note how I said 'Jai kissed me' and not 'we kissed'. He seems to not understand that part."

"DUDE. Chris loves you."

"DUDE. I KNOW HE DOES. I LOVE HIM, AND I LOVE YOU, OKAY."

"Why do I even try... some people are just so stupid I want to kill myself."
