It Will Only Be You [Paused]

It Will Only Be You-chapter 5

     I walked into class. My confidence going down a level every step she took. Why the heck was I going to say to Liam? Hopefully he would ubderstand. I mean what would I say? I'm not going to be all like 'so I'm not going on a date with you cause I just hooked up with Zach, the really hot popular guy'. Even to me that sounded mean. I quickly took a seat beside Michael as Liam walked in. Oh no. Liam walked to the back of the class, sitting down right beside me. Like that made anything better.  

"So...have you made your decision?" Let the games begin. I decided to take the easiest route possible. 

"Yeah sure I'd love to go out, but just as friends. Liam don't get me wrong I love you, but in the best friends kind of way. And I just got together with Zach..." a wave of sadness and anger crossed his face quickly replaced by a smile. 

"Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing." I smiled relieved.  

"I'm glad you think the same thing. Your like my best friend and I'd hate to lose you in that sense."  

"Me too." he said with a very flat tone.

LIAM'S POINT OF VIEW

    Finally I could get out of that hell hole. It was torture sitting beside Charlotte trying my best to hide how angry I was. She got together with Zach! Freaking Zach! I guess she would never know the way I actually feel for her. I loved her. Not in the creepy stalkerish way, but in more of I could be myself around her way. Yeah, we were best friends but I wanted more. I ran my hand through my dark brown hair in frustration. How could she not see that she belonged with me? Not that stuck up jerk Zach. When I thought about it though, Zach wasn't stuck up at all, he was actually nice. Pretty nice. What am I saying? I have no chance with her. Now charlottes with Zach. He better treat her right or I will kick his ass. No joke.

As I walked out the door of the school to get some fresh air during free period I saw what I was avoiding most. Zach.  

"Hey Liam!" Markus called as he walked out. Zach and Markus were just chillin' by the wall talking. 

"Oh hi." 

"You okay?" Zach asked a bit concerned. 

"Yeah, just tired." 

"Oh. So did you hear about me and Charlotte?"  he grinned.

"Yeah she told me today." 

"She is so perfect! Not to mention hot." he said a smirk forming on his face. 

"Just don't hurt her feelings. She is too nice of a girl to get her heart crushed." Zach looked at me somewhat confused and hurt. 

"I wouldn't do that to her. Ever." 

"Good." I walked away not wanting to talk to Zach any longer. I went and sat on a bench where I could see a view of the whole school. I sighed laying my head in my hands.  

"Hey. What's wrong?" I turned around to see Anna. Hey eyes were filled with concern. 

"Oh hey Anna. I'm just thinking." she took a seat beside me on the bench. 

"Thinking about what?"  

"Stuff."  

"What stuff?" she giggled. 

"Well... I really like Charlotte but she only wants me as a friend." 

"Oh I know all about this. She called me about it this morning. Charlotte was all stressed out." 

"Really?" 

"Yeah. But Liam you guys are like best friends. You're like a brother to her." I smiled at her. 

"Yeah I guess. You know what do you want to get a ice cream. To get my mind off things." Her teeth showed as she smiled. 

"Id love to. Lets go."

We walked to the ice cream truck and bought our ice cream with the 20 bucks I had in my back pocket for lunch. I had gotten a sundae with strawberry sauce and Anna bought a ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. We laughed chatting away as we walked slowly around school property. I'm starting to really like Anna. Maybe even more than I liked Charlotte.

The bell rang indicating that it was the end of free period. Anna took out a piece of paper and pencil from her back pocket scribbling something on it. She handed it to me smiling. 

"Here. Just in case you get bored." she walked away leaving me alone to read the note. I read it silently.

'932 777 8924 Text me sometime:) Maybe we could get some more ice cream. 

Anna<3'

I smiled after finishing reading the note, stuffing it in my pocket.

A/N sorry to interrupt but I just had to say this a random number that I am not sure even exsists so don't try calling it!:)

BACK TO CHARLOTTE'S POINT OF VIEW

     I am so glad that went well. I ran down the hall trying to find Chloe and Sam and hopefully find Zach on the way. I had some how lost Zach and Chloe in the crowd and had no clue were Sam might be. As I trotted down the hall slowing down into a strut, I bumped into Vanessa. 

"Oh hey! Have you seen Sam?" 

"Oh yeah, she's down the hall talking to Ryan." That made sense. You could not split those two apart! By the way Ryan was Sam's boyfrined, he was tall, blonde, blue eyed and totally cute. I gave Vanessa a quick hug and jogged down the hall.

"Hey guys!'" they both just smiled at me. I turned towards Ryan. "Ryan Do you you think i could borrow Sam for a sec?" Luckily Ryan has gotten used to me. Now we were like buds  in a my-best-friend-is-dating-you-and-we-sorta-have-to-get-along kind of way. Groaning he agreed. I grabbed Sam and tugged her away.

        After telling Sam everything I walked off to my next class. Math. I hate math.  I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone, falling to the ground. Ready to swear my ass off, I looked up. My eyes locked with his big light brown ones. I was stuck in a trance until he broke the silence.

"Oh sorry." he bent down offering me his hand. I took it automaticly. It was Steven. Steven was like a  tall, nice, shy guy who was really good looking. Sparks surged through my body as a grabbed his hand... unlike I felt with Zach. This just got real.
