Someone Better

Chapter 18

Alex's pov

I found out yesterday Mark and Lisa are together. I think they are so cute but I also remember I do like Mark but he deserves to be happy. I kind of feel like a third wheel ever since I started talk to them more but life is what it is.

I have run into Colton a lot. To my displeasure we have every class together. Colton and Mark have even become friends which means I'm around him more than what I would like.Every where I go he is there. I personally think he thinks he is cocky and he thinks every girl at this school is into him. I mean I would be lying if I said I didn't think he was nice looking. He has dark blonde/ brown hair and dark blue eyes. Am I really starting to like this guy? No I can't, I can't like someone like him.

Right now it is currently lunch break. I was walking with Lisa until she realized she was supposed to meet Mark. I have no idea where they are going and I honestly don't want to know.

"Hey Alexia. What's going on?" I heard a voice that has become so familiar.

"Hey Colton. Nothing is going on." I said faking a smile. Why do I let him get to me so much?

"Can I eat lunch with you?" He asked sweetly. How could I say 'no'?

"Sure. I don't care. Mark and Lisa went somewhere so it will just be the two of us." A smile spread across his face.

Why is that smile getting to me? I haven't felt like this since I was starting to like John. No! I think I really do have a crush. I can't have a crush, it is too soon.

We make our way through the long line. We are sitting at our regular table. Colton is sitting across from me. I feel his gaze is on me.

"Alexia? Are you alright?" Thankfully he interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm alright. I'm sorry." I said while fixing my eyes to the table we are sitting at.

"There is no need to be sorry. If you aren't alright just tell me and I will help you as much as I can." Once again with a smile that melts my heart every time he does it.

"Thank you." I say with a smile.

"So how long have you known Lisa and Mark?"

"We met when we were in second grade. Ever since then we have always been best friends."

"Wow. That's a long time. I thought you weren't really friends with the two of them when I first came here."

"Why would you think that?" I said in a defensive tone. 

"I don't know, you seemed kind of distant from them." He sounded like he didn't want to offend me.

"I just have had somethings going on." I remember John. I haven't thought of him all week and here I am thinking of him.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"No you are fine." I am mad at myself that I still let John enter my thoughts. Colton has been here for two weeks now he thinks he knows everything.

"Do you maybe want to movie on Saturday?" I'm really taken back by him asking. What do I say?

"Sure." The word left my mouth before I could stop it.

"Great! I will pick you up at six. I just don't know where you live though."

"I'll text you my address." Why am I doing this? This is too soon but, John has already moved on.

I'm over John for the most part just sometimes I'm reminded of him.

*Fast forward to Saturday*
