Choosing Mr Right

Chapter 9

Why did I even go out with Liam?

I asked myself the same question over and over again.

I should have known better

It was sunday and what Alex had told me was still fresh in my mind.

How does Tracy get to have every boy i like or have the potential to like?

I got up from my bed and looked in the mirror. i saw the reflection of a girl with white flawless skin, green eyes and blonde hair.

Maybe i am not pretty enough..

Before today i have never had this thought but today i was feeling insecure and inferior. I picked up my cellphone and called the only person who could help me get through this.

Iris picked it up. "Hey Amy!"

"Hi Iris meet me at the mall in 30 minutes" I told her

"On my way" She told me and hung up.

I quickly changed into a sleveless white shirt and put on my blue jeans. I put on some eye liner and headed out.

After 10 minutes i reached there. I could see Iris standing in a shop looking at some clothes. She was dressed in a blue colourfull t-shirt with shorts. I loved Iris and her fashion sense.

After an hour of looking around for clothes and makeup we both finally went to Dunkin Donuts to eat. After we sat down, Iris said. " So who am i supposed to kill?"

I choked on the coffee i was drinking. "Wha..whaat?"

Iris rolled her eyes "Come on girl I've known you for a long time now and i know that look when you get upset. You're wearing it right now."

My hand went up to my face "No i'm not Iris"

"Are you gonna keep secrets from me now girl?" Iris looked at me hurt.

"Allright! Where do i even begin?" I said.

"From the start" She told me.

I took a deep breath and told her everything about Liam and Alex by the end Iris was looking pretty concerned.

"Well i think you should just follow your heart Amy. No one can know what will happen. But you have to move on from Alex" Iris told me as if i already didn't know this.

"Allright Iris i need time. let me figure this out" I told her.

After that we talked and chatted on about other stuff at school. After an hour or so i was feeling loads better so we left the mall and i came home.

There was still some daylight outside so i decided to go for a stroll. I was walking by Alex's house when i saw someone coming towards me. I recognized her.

It was Tracy.

"Amy! Hey how are you doing?" She said as she pulled me into a hug.

I felt so bad at that moment. I had all these thoughts about stealing her boyfriend and here she was hugging me like we had been friends for over a decade.

"I'm fine."I told her.

"So where are you off to?" She asked me.

"I was just taking a stroll." I hesitated before asking as if dreading the answer. "You going to meet Alex?"

"Yeah he told me he wanted to see me but i don't know why" She said giggling.

"Well i'd hate to keep you guys waiting" I told her managing a smile. Dealing with feelings of Alex was not what i had expected to happen so suddenly. I knew i just had to get away from her.

"Hey you should come along!" She said suddenly.

"No..no it's your thing i'd rather not" I said holding my hands up.

"Oh shutup you are coming with me" She grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her.

"Seriously i am just invading your privacy i should go." I said as she rang the bell.

The door opened and Alex walked out. As soon as he appeared, my heart fluttered.

"Tracy!" He said as he kissed her.I looked away, the feeling of running away was even stronger than before now but i didn't want to make it obvious to them so i just stood there untill it was all over.

"Amy! what are you doing here?" He said as he pulled me into a hug.

"I ran into her. She was walking all alone outside so i decided to bring her along if that's okay with you honey" She explained.

"Ofcourse it is come on in Amy" He pulled me in.

"I really don't want to ruin you guys' date" I said casually.

"We are just going to watch a movie. Come watch with us" Alex said.

So we all sat on the big sofa in the lounge. Alex already had the snacks laid out. I picked up the dvd we were supposed to be watching.

"The Notebook?" I raised an eyebrow at Alex.

"Tracy said its a great movie" Alex told me.

I put it back and after we all settled down the movie started. I was sitting next to Alex and next to him was Tracy.

I could feel the tension build up inside me. I saw Tracy scoot closer to Alex.

Damnit! I want to be like that.

I saw Alex put an arm around her. I saw Tracy give him a kiss on the cheek. It wasn't like they were not including me in the conversation.

Infact we made jokes of the movie, kicked Alex off the sofa and laughed like hell but now the romantic scenes were coming on and i didn't know if i could take it anymore. When atlast Tracy gave Alex a peck on the lips, my patience gave away.

I stood up.

My voice cracked.

"Sorry Alex i..i just remembered i have to go somewhere. I uh i'll see you guys later. Bye Tracy"

I ran out of the room towards the main door

"Wait up Amy!" Alex shouted after me.

I didnt stop running untill i was in my room and i fell face down on my pillow. Tears flowed from my eyes. I couldn't believe it. I was actually crying over Alex! I was getting weak and i didn't like it one bit.

This is enough! I am getting over him!

I made up my mind to talk to Liam again and this time i wouldn't let him go.
