Complicated

Chapter 1

   "Riiiiinnngg!" It was finally the end of school and finally time for dance class. I always got excited to go to dance class just for only one reason to be honest. Everyday during class I get to see the guy of my dreams. His name is Josh, Josh Peterson. He's my 23 year old dance instructor. I've had a crush on him since my freshman year. It's just, now, it's not even a crush anymore. I like him a lot. He has everything I want in a guy, good sense of humor, good looks, nice hair, good sense of style, and of course, a little bit of sass.

   I've always kinda assumed he liked me back just because he texted me almost everyday and he even winked at me one time. I do know, though, that he kinda can't date me till after high school. It's just not really legal sadly, and because of this, he likes to ignore me during class. The only time he ever talks to me is when he teases me.

   As soon as I got in class, that's exactly what he did, tease me. My dumb self tripped over my shoe laces and he just starts laughing.

   "Maddy again? You're so clumsy haha!"

   "Why do you like to tease me? I don't get it." I ask as I laugh. He just keeps laughing and shrugs. He then starts teaching the class our new dance routine for our competition coming up.

   After dance class, which usually goes on for two hours, I go outside and wait for my mom to pick me up.

   "hey maddy!" I hear someone say from behind me. I turn around to see Pablo walking towards me. Uugghh why?! I thought to myself. Pablo has liked me since freshman year. We're seniors now and he still can't get the hint that I don't want to date him. The reason is because he's so touchy and it bothers the heck out of me! I've tried telling him to stop, but he never listened. I never really say anything anymore because I'm just so tired of wasting my breathe. I just don't understand how someone can be so clueless.

   "hey Pablo." I say as I roll my eyes.

   "damn what's your problem?" he asks with attitude.

   No matter how hard I try to tell him that I don't want to talk to him, it just doesn't come out. I'll feel bad because I know how much he likes me.

   "nothing. I'm just in a mood today." I lie. He just shrugs it off and starts grabbing my waste, like always.

   I try to pull away but he just keeps holding on to me. "love me!" he says jokingly. I just roll my eyes and try to break free again.

   "why can't you just let me hug you?" he asks.

   "because you never let go when I want you to." I reply. He finally lets go. My mom thankfully comes and I get in the car without saying a word to him.

   "hey sweetie pie! How was dance class?" My mom asks.

   "it was good."

   "did you talk to Josh?" My mom asks. I roll my eyes and smiled. Yes my mom knows about it, and yes she's okay with it. My mom has always wanted me to have a boyfriend. I really don't know why, but it's quite annoying when she brings up my crushes. She's done this since freshman year. I don't really care when she brings up Josh, though, because I like him that much. Everytime she brings him up I start to giggle. That's how bad this is.

   "Yes I did but all he did was tease me again." I told my mom. My mom just laughs.

As soon as I got home I see my friend jazzy in my house. Jazzy lives across the street and apparently it's okay for her to go in my house whenever she pleases. I mean I really don't mind at all to be honest, but I know very darn well my mom does.

"what is she doing in our house?" My mom asks while trying not to get mad. I shrug, trying to hold my giggles in.

"hey mads!" jazzy yells as I walk through my front door. Mads is a nickname she gave me in middle school. We've been friends for that long. That's how you know it's real.

"hey jazzy! What are you doing in here by the way?" I ask while laughing. Turned out, she just wanted a sandwich.

"typical" I say, laughing. She then starts to laugh as my mom rolls her eyes at her. This is one of the reasons why my mom hates her here, she always "steals" our food. I always laugh only because I do the same thing to her.

Me and jazzy just start to hang out in my room for about 3 hours until dinner is ready. This is just a typical day for us. We hang out 24/7 just talking about boys, AKA Josh, and just talking about life overall. Jazzy is also the only friend I told about Josh.

"alright ima go now. My food is ready at home." jazzy says after 4 hours of talking. I just say okay and walk her out the house.

Right after Jazzy leaves I get a Snapchat from Josh. I started to freak out like I always do when he texts me. I opened it. It said "stop being so clumsy". I start to form a huge smile on my face. Even if he sends me a random picture, I still smile. I guess I just love the fact that he's actually talking to me.

I reply back saying "sorry sheesh lol". Yea I'm not really good at texting, but at least he's texting me right? The only thing that bothers me about that, though, is that sometimes he just reads my messages. I know he's always busy but I always feel like I'm annoying him when I'm trying to start a conversation.

I go on snap just to see if he read it and of course, he did. He read it 1 minute ago and that's how I know he's not going to reply. Once a minute goes by, its just more waiting until I realize that he's not going to text back. This happens every time. At least he texted me first right? Yea who knows. Who knows if he even likes me. Hopefully he does. I mean he did wink at me once. I always wonder, though, if he knows that I like him. I've always wondered.

Sorry for the kinda short chapter, but omg I've been wanting to make a new story but I never got around to it! I hope you guys like it! This story is going to be great. I already know it😏😉
