The Love Story That Never Happened

Chapter 17

The next day was Friday and I was so excited for the weekend. I planned that I was no longer going to let my curse control me and I was going to figure out who cursed me. I have bullied many people in the past and I'm sure that I can pay all of them a visit. I really quickly walked through the halls of the school in an attempt to avoid Daniel, Alex, Jack and anyone who saw what happened the other day. Avoiding people is all I have been doing lately and I'm getting tired of it. I walk to my reading class and I see Steven standing right in front of me. I stop walking, it's been a long time since I have seen him. "Cara, going to reading I see," he says and I remember his challenge of trying to figure out what classes I'm taking. I make a disgusted face at him as a joke and he walks around me. I was about to continue to walk but I notice Alex in front of me so I stop. Alex saw my encounter with Steven and he was laughing at the way I was looking at him. I smiled at him and I wanted to continue walking but when I walked past him he stopped me. 

"Hey Cara" he begins and my heart begins to beat faster. Yesterday night, the entities warned me to stay away because they said I was falling in love with him or something like that. I couldn't help but think that it was true, but that was not the thing bothering me. "Were you with Daniel yesterday?" he asked, and it takes me a while to snap back into the world and realize what he asked me. I stared into his eyes a little and I finally responded with a nod. I notice he leans in closer to me. "Is he the one who tried to follow you home?" he asked, and I shake my head. "Man I thought I got it!" he yelled and I couldn't help but smile pathetically. When he saw me with Daniel the other day he thought of the guy who tried to follow me. I wondered what he felt when he saw it. " One-day I'm going to figure it out," he says, "No you won't," I say with a smile. I don't want to get you involved with me.
