The substitute

Chapter 20

I get up and walk away from Harry the last thing I need is another rude comment from Harry. I hear footsteps behind me making me walk faster why is he following me he was just so mean to me.

"Zoey" he calls I ignore him and this time I start running.

I keep running and honestly I'm not really sure where I'm going I ran the opposite direction from where my house is, so now I just want to get away from him. I hear footsteps behind me I try to run faster, but I'm so out of breath and It's like eighty degrees out he grabs my hand making me flinch I try to pull my hand away, but he just tightens his grip on my hand.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"I just um... What happened up there?" he decides to ask.

"You're asking me what happened up there? What happened to you?"  I harshly ask.

"You exploded" he tells me.

"The only reason I exploded was becasue of you, you were so mean and annoying I just blew up" I confess.

"You were so nice the other day what happened?" I ask him.

"I don't know" he shrugs.

"You don't know?" I say.

"That's what I said" he snaps.

"I wanted to have a mature conversation with you until you went all bezerk" I tell him waving my hands at Harry.

"I know I'm an idiot" he says.

"You're not an idiot " I tell him.

"I'm sorry" he blurts out.

"you're sorry for what?" I tease him it seems like he hates saying sorry so why not play with that.

"Are you really making me do this?" he asks shaking his head.

"Yup" I say popping the P.

"I'm sorry for kissing you, it meant nothing at all I was just drinking and I got a rush it came out of no where I swear" he says.

I did want him to apologize, but I wanted him to apologize about being mean to me in the class room not for kissing me. I know the kiss was on accident, but I hate hearing that the kiss had no meaning, or it was nothing. I'd like to believe that there was another reason for the kiss not just that he was drinking I'd like to think there was another reason for kissing me, but he just Isn't telling me.

"You're sorry about the kiss?" I ask him.

"Hundred percent" he confirms.

"So you regret it?" I ask one more time tears forming in my eyes.

"Um Zoe are you okay?" he asks.

"Yup I'm fine" I say and walk away, I'm thankful he doesn't follow me.

My dad was supposed to be here by now he probably got lost again. I was stupid to think that the kiss had any meaning It's Harry who kissed me I wasn't thinking logically. I guess I thought the kiss meant something because of how he kissed me it was just so fierce and and I felt so much emotion I guess he didn't feel the same.

I'm to naive I instantly thought that once he was nice to me he would always be nice to me. What was I thinking? I laugh at my stupitidy.

"There you are" My father says.

"Hey ya sorry about that" I apologize.

"What happened?" he asks.

"It's a long story" I huff

"So Zoe I'm finally home and I barely talk to you" he says.

"Well maybe It's because you're always asleep on the couch" I say.
