I pushed the heavy door of the coffee shop open and felt the instant warmth hit me.
I looked over to the counter to see dan messing with the coffee machine. He turned round as the door opened with a huge grin on his face.
"Hey sorry I'm late, I got sort of held up"I mumbled walking over to the counter.
"Did it have something to do with your shirt?"dan asked raising his eyebrows at me. I looked down to see I hadn't exactly buttoned it up right.
"No"I said quickly sounding really defensive.
"So you've been at school all day with your shirt like that?"he asked suspiciously.
"Not exactly"I mumbled, I should have just agreed.
"Then why is it like that then"he almost growled at me.
"Jesus it doesn't even matter okay"I retorted. Unbuttoning my shirt, again. "Been busy today?"I asked changing the subject. Dan didn't reply. "Hello??"I said looking up at Dan who was staring right back at me biting his bottom lip.
"Sorry ermm no"dan stuttered scratching the back of his head. I just gave him an unamused look before he disappeared off towards the kitchen.
10 minutes later I was leaning against the counter doodling in my notepad. Stopping every once in a while to look over at dan who was cleaning the floor. The door swung open and I turned to see Katie and Calum walk in.
"Heyyyyy"Calum chirped walking up to the counter.
"Oh hi! How are you guys? Glad you remember who I am!" I mocked sarcastically. Already starting to make their normal orders I didn't even bother to ask. "Where have you been?"I asked.
"Sorry! I was with mark and Calum slept in"Katie smiled taking the one of the coffees I'd just made. We all walked over to the sofas and sat down.
"Although we could say the same for you?" Calum said raising his eyebrows.
"What have I missed?"dan asked sitting down next to Katie.
"We want to know where Mel disappeared to on Saturday night at the party"Katie said giving me an odd glance I wasn't quite sure what she was trying to convey.
"Nothing, you guys ditched me so I left" I lied through gritted teeth.
"Really"Calum asked raising his eyebrows at me. Did him and Katie know? They couldn't! Why would they ask me if they already knew?
Before I had the chance to defend myself again the coffee shop door swung open. So I quickly excused myself and walked off towards the counter.
Dan's P.O.V
I watched her as she stood there with a beaming smile. Taking to the two boys. She had described Luke as a jerk which to me was as bad as 'him'. I sat with Katie and Calum not paying attention to whatever they were talking about. I watched her intently as she giggled at whatever they were saying. Why was she flirting with those jerks. She just can't come down from her cloud in the sky and realise that they will only use and hurt her as 'he' had. She couldn't see that I was the one who understands her, I've been here all the time and she can't see that I want her. The soft, bouncy hair fell on Mel's back as she flipped it around. The black painted finger nails just peeped out through the brown mop.
"Dan mate you should stop staring you look creepy as fuck"Calum laughed as I blinked out of my daze
"What's the deal with Mel and Luke?"I asked still watching them out of the corner of my eye.
"Well, they left the party together and I saw Luke leave her house the next day. He looked fucking rough." Cal said. As we all glanced over at the three of them. Why did Mel always fall for the jerks?
My hands rolled into balls of rage. Was he using her, as 'he' had?
"I think she's head over heels for him, just like she was with Ash." Katie mumbled.
Then she did the unthinkable. She literally wrote her number on Luke's coffee cup! Along with a note above it. What the fuck did 'I like different' mean?
I slammed my hands onto the table, which seemed to make everybody look at me, except Mel of course. Cal and Katie looked at me sympathetically. I rubbed my hands on my face.
"I know you like her, everybody does....except her. Tell her. Please. You may just be able to catch her before she falls."Katie said still giving me a sympathetic look as my mind filled up with some very interesting thoughts.
Mels P.O.V
"You're really fucking cute"Luke mumbled as he smirked at the coffee cup I'd just given him.
"I'm not even going to ask"Michael laughed as he glanced between the two of us. I liked Michael he had funny coloured hair that changed a lot and he was nice, maybe I'd underestimated Luke and his friends.
I was about to open my mouth to reply to Luke but dan appeared at My side and grabbed on to my wrist tight, which shocked me slightly.
"Can I speak to you"dan whispered into my ear. His lips tickling my ear making me giggle. I turned to face him a gestured for him to talk. "In privet, please"he added still whispering. He tightened the grip around wrist. I didn't even have time to answer before he pulled me away towards the kitchen.
"What do you want?"I asked after he'd let go of my wrist as we stepped into the kitchen.
"I think you're making a mistake,with him"dan mumbled staring almost right through me.
"Really?"I asked. I couldn't quite believe that Dan had just said that.
"Yes really, I think you're making another mistake"he said moving closer.
"FUCKING HELL I MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND NOW I CANT EVEN SPEAK TO ANOTHER GUY!"I screamed letting my anger take over me.
"Please just hear me out"he said calmly but I was in no mood to be calm. I was sick of people trying to control me.
"NO I WILL NOT HEAR YOU OUT! I DONT SEE WHY YOU CARE SO FUCKING MUCH"I continued to scream I didn't care if people could hear me.
"Because I love you okay I really fucking love you!"he said frustrated. I froze, I mean people had always said that dan and I would be good together but I'd never believed them. Dan was my friend nothing more.
"Mel please say something"dan pleaded. He reached out to touch my arm I flinched and moved away.
"I think I should go"I whispered my voice barely audible. I backed towards the door and picked my bag up and walked straight through the coffee shop and out the door not giving a second glance to the people staring at me,
A/N FRIENDZONEDDDD!!! I actually feel bad for dan :( on another note I realised that I've use the F word in this chapter ALOT oppsiess :)
