Unexpectedly You

Chapter 15

The next day I had class with James.

Oh jeez how am I supposed to tell him?But who said I have to? I sat down next to him hoping he doesn't find out.

"Hey James." I said nervously.

"Hey Katy, are you alright?"

Why did you have to ask?

"Oh me?" I said in a high voice, "yeah I'm fine."

He gave me a look. "You're such a terrible liar. What are you hiding? C'mon tell me?" He begged.

"I'm not hiding anything, why would you think that, who told you what, and and when?" I stuttered, aw man!

"I know because when you lie you start to ask questions and you're voice gets high." He gave me another look like saying just tell me what you're hiding it's obvious you're hiding something. I took a deep breath.

"Ok I will tell you." I told him hoping he won't be mad at me.

"Pfftt I know that! I mean, uhhh."

"What who told you?" I bet it was Victoria!

"Nobody told me noth- ok it was Victoria." He finally admitted.

"So I figured." I sighed, "I'm sorry James, I-" he cut me off.

"Why are you sorry? You got your Prince Charming who took years to tell you he wants to be with you. Seriously don't be sorry, you obviously don't care about how I feel about you, and don't think I forgot about that little stunt you did at the park the other day acting like I only asked you out on a date as friends. You know that's not true, you know I like you, but yet you still don't care about your best friends feelings. I like you Katy, I said it, what a big deal, I find you extremely attractive, I think you're beautiful on the inside and the outside, I stay up at night playing scenes in my head if we were ever to date. I get distracted by you, Katy you're amazing, but you obviously would rather be with a guy who asked you out after he said he has liked you since 8th grade, hasn't broken up with his girlfriend, rather than someone who can't spend another night going to sleep knowing you're not with the person you love. Have fun with your new little boyfriend Katy."

The bell rang and he turned around and started the warm-up. My eyes stated to fill up with tears. I didn't know this is how James felt about me? All that he said, is it true? I feel horrible now. I asked to go to the lavatory. I splashed water on my face and redid my makeup. I tried to calm down and go back to class. I was in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I told Victoria about it. I also told my mom she sort of relaxed me, but before bed I couldn't stop crying.

A few people asked if I was ok today and I was supposedly fine. I know people will ask again tomorrow, so I was determined to know what to say. Someone asks, 'Are you ok?' I would just say, 'Yes I'm fine, thank you.' And move on through out my day. Just as I suspected, a lot of people asked if I was ok. They must have noticed my bitterness.

So did Justin, "Hey Katy, are you ok?" He actually seemed worried.

"I'm fi-you know what, I'm not fine. I seriously hurt my best friend and it's my fault." I kept playing the scene in my head where James told me he liked me.

"Don't blame yourself, if Victoria," I cut him off.

"It's James." I looked down.

"Ok, whatever James is blaming you for, it's not your fault." He tried to comfort me, but he couldn't not like James can.

"Look, I know it's my fault so I'm not going to fight it." He put his arm around me. I slipped out of his arms again like last time he put his arms around me.

"What about Jasmine? I haven't heard you have broken up with her yet?"

"I did this morning." He looked at me.

"Why didn't you do it before we went to get yogurt?" I need to question this guy see if he's lying or telling the truth.

"Well why didn't you?"

He didn't answer me.

"I thought so." I was walking away and he grabbed my shoulder and turned me around.

"It's not that easy okay? At least I did it." He slowly let go of me. I stared into his gorgeous brown eyes.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I apologized and left.
