What has happened to my life? Part 7

Chapter 7 Unpacking

I tryed to look like I thought about it for a second, but I knew my answer. I looked over at Nathan and saw something in his eyes. Something that made my insides feel fuzzy. There was also something else. I couldn't quite place my finger on it, but it looked like hope. I wanted to say yes soooo bad, but I saw Kristina. She was mouthing say no!! I mouthed back why?" Nathan around to see what I was looking at, but Kristina pulled the curtains closed before he could. I let out a deep breath. Since Nathan had looked away I looked at Kristina for help and hoped she had pulled the curtain open again and thank goodness she did!! I mouthed to her why?? She mouthed to play with him a little!! He will probably ask you again!! I shrugged at her. Why not? If she was right then he would just ask me again later and I would say yes. Now it's my turn to play! A part of me though wondered if he wouldn't. I didn't not want to have that warm fuzzy feeling I had when I looked into his eyes. I didn't know if he would ask again for sure, but I trusted Kristina.

"Sorry, but no."

Nathan's face fell in an instant. I almost said yes in a second. I wanted to say that I do want to go out with him. I would have to ask Kristina why she wanted me to say no for sure. Why was I even listening to her??

"Why?"

"I don't know if you deserve that answer."

"Please can I just have it? I know I don't deserve it, but can I still have it?"

"Why do you really want to know?"

"I want to know why you broke my heart?"

I almost said I'm changing my mind, but Joey walked by and peeked in.

"How's it going?"

He whispered this to Nathan and it wasn't ment for me to hear so I just pretended to not hear it. I looked straight forward and pulled out my book.

"Not good."

"Well good luck anyway..."

"Thanks?? Now go back to Kristina."

"Well why did you?"

"You're the one that broke mine. When you kissed me then kicked me out."

He didn't say anything so I assumed the conversation was over. Did a hour and a half already pass? The plane started landing, but my ears popped and I winced. Nathan winced too, but I don't think it was about his ears popping. I reached over about to hug Nathan, but thought better about it. If he noticed he didn't say anything. Nathan started getting out of the plane right when it landed. I was a little hurt that he didn't try harder. If he asked again I would've said yes. Even though the plane landed I didn't get up. I just propped my elbow up on the arm rest and put my hand on my cheek. When I pulled away it felt wet. I wiped away my tears and hoped my nose wasn't red. I got out and took my bag with me. The others were still getting their stuff out.

"I'm just going to head out."

"Ok honey. Do you know where Nathan went?"

This brought on another round of tears. He probably hates me now. I won't ever have another chance with him now.

"I think he already left."

"Ok well we will catch up with you later!"

I rushed out of the plane and through everything else. I saw Nathan standing in the middle of a big group of girls. This didn't help... At all. I started crying even more. My vision blurry. I hurried to the bathroom. Before I went in though I saw his face. It looked suprised. I didn't really care anymore though. If he moved on then so did I. When I calmed myself down and made it look like I haven't been crying I walked out of the bathroom feeling more confident. When I got out everyone was already there. Mom and dad were looking at maps and trying to figure out how to get to our house while Joey suprisingly was looking at other girls. I felt really mad because he was with Kristina! I want to beat the crap out of him now and the whole plane ride fueled that anger. I finally looked over at Kristina who has a confused look on her face. She must've saw that I was crying before I made my escape. I didn't say anything to anyone. When we got in the car I was forced to sit next to Nathan again. I pushed myself against the car door as much as I could without falling out. I wanted to talk to him, but I knew he didn't want to talk to me. When we pulled up to the driveway I saw the house. It was white and seemed to have a million windows. There was a five car garage. This didn't really impress me because I was too angry and upset. When we got everything out of the car we went in the house. The living room had a circular couch that could fit 15. It faced a huge fire place. Above the fire place hung a huge 50 inch plasma tv. In the middle of the couch was a huge coffee table.

"Ok kids go find your rooms!"

"I think I'm going to look around first."

"That's fine with us!!"

I ventured to the kitchen. It had black marble tiles and a big island in the middle. The counters were all black marble. The fridge was ginormous. The shiny silver was already filled up with pictures of us. Inside it was stocked with tons of food. I went in the backyard and saw the really big inground blue. At one end of the pool was a big waterfall. In one of the corners of the pool was a larger than normal hot tub that could fit 20. Still unimpressed I went to find a room. I chose one of the bigger rooms. Inside there was a tv, computer, walkin closet, bathroom, and two bookshelves. I walked in dragging in all of my suitcases. I started unpacking. It took me only an hour to unpack all of the clothes. I brought out the other 2 big suitcases for my books. To put them all in order took an hour and a half. By then I was hot and sticky so I went into the bathroom. The bathroom had a little jacuzzi and a shower. I started the jacuzzi and peeled off my clothes. I threw in half a bottle of bubble bath. When I was totally relaxed and hidden under a big pile of bubbles Kristina came in.

"Ivy? Are you here?"

"In the bathtub."

"Oh having fun in there?"

"Tons. Could I join you? There's a lot we need to talk about."

"Yeah there is."

I turned away while Kristina took off her clothes and jumped in.

"Hehe!! This is fun!"

"I guess. So why did you make me say no to Nathan?"

"So that you could tease him a little before he asked you again."

"What makes you think he's going to ask me out again?"

"I just know!!"

"Well he isn't."

"How do you know?"

"Well he ignored me for most of the plane ride and when we were at the airport before I went in the bathroom he was surrounded by girls!"

"Hmmm." Kristina seemed to consider this.

"He will ask you out again trust me."

I felt anger for her even giving me the idea of saying no and I felt angry at myself for listening to her. I also felt regret. Why did I listen? If I did say yes then I could be with Nathan in the pool having fun. Pain flashed through me. No no what am I talking about? He already got over me so I need to over him. I closed my eyes and rested my head against the side of the jacuzzi. Kristina and I didn't talk for a long time, but I heard her get up and out.
