26: Last Friday Night

CHAPTER 26

 *Amy*

That week passed by in a blur like every other week and surprisingly I found myself to be the center of attention once again.

Well - Eric and I actually.

I don’t how but when we arrived at school together on Monday morning everyone seemed to already know about us. And actually – as ridiculous as it sounds- they called us the new ‘it’ couple. Brook wasn’t so happy about that.

Speaking of her, even though she wasn’t happy about me and Eric being the new ‘it’ couple she seemed to be happy about me going out with him. I don’t even know how was that possible and to be honest I don’t really care. 

The only thing I cared about right now was to spend as much time as I could with Eric. Far from anything. Far from anyone. And when I say anyone I mean one specific person.

Blake.

He and I never talked about the kiss. Well, actually he and I never talked in general. Even though we had the same classes and we were at the same table –along with Eric’s friends- we still hadn’t shared a word. We didn’t even look at each other.

I wasn’t mad at him which was really weird. And then again it wasn’t, I guess I was as guilty as he was. Maybe Blake kissed me but I didn’t do the slightest thing to stop him. And now we were both guilty and felt awful! Blake was Eric’s best friend and I was his girlfriend it was completely wrong what we had done. We couldn’t just let that go so easily.

Even though I tried to forget about it. Forget about Blake. Forget about anything and anyone. I had already started a new life with Eric by my side. And I wasn’t going to mess things up for Blake.

“So why can’t we go out tomorrow?” Eric asked me as we stopped by my locker to grab my things like every other morning.

Everything was absolutely perfect between us and I hoped they would stay that way.

I gave him a guilty smile and opened my locker. “Brook and the other girls want to go for shopping and I kind of promised them. I’m sorry.”

“Can’t you just cancel it?” he begged leaning his head to the next locker and giving me a puppy face.  

I gave him a flat look and scoffed. “Cancel it? Like you don’t know your sister! She will kill me if I don’t come.” I said and then raised an eyebrow. “And you don’t want that do you?”

He laughed. “No of course not.” Then he sighed.  “Fine then I guess we will go out next Saturday?” he asked full of hope.

Aww he was so sweet!

I closed my locker and looked up at him with a big smile “Absolutely.”

“Great!” he murmured bending down to give me a small kiss on the lips.

Like every other time I felt nothing! Absolutely nothing! No fireworks, no butterflies…like…like with Blake.

Ugh stop it Amy! You are over Blake. You have to be!

“I’ll see you later then.” Eric said pulling away and smiling down at me, showing his pearly white teeth

“Bye.” I said with a smile too even though I don’t know how real that smile was.

I watched him as he walked down the hallway, sharing ‘hey’s’ and ‘good mornings’ to everyone who greeted him. I realize then once again how wrong my choices were.
