Torn

Chapter 2

*olivias pov*

Once I get home I decide to just to sit in my room until Alexis texts me back. I know it's gonna be a while sense she's at James's.

According to her, her and James are MADLY in love. I just think it's bull shit. All they ever do is fight. And if there not fighting they're looking for something to fight about. They've been dating for about a year.

I got tired of waiting for Alexis, so I tried to find something to do to pass the time.

'I could introduce myself to the new neighbors...' I thought to myself

What was I thinking, I could never get the guts to do that.

I scrolled through my contacts to find a friend to text.

I didn't have the widest group of friends but I decided to see what my friend Emma was doing.

(Text conversation)

Me: Hey Emma! How's it going?

Emma☺️: Pretty good, wbu?

Me: good. So are you doing anything today?

Emma☺️: I don't think so why?

Me: do you wanna maybe come ova and hang out today?

Emma☺️: lemme just check to see if were doing anything today.

I waited a few minutes for her to respond. I was beginning to zone out when my phone buzzed on my lap.

Emma☺️: no plans. B over in a bit 😇

Me: cya then

I put my phone down and told my parents that Emma was coming over.

I decided to get a snack while waiting for her. As I ate my granola bar I could not stop thinking about the boy down the street. I needed to know him name, like now.

I finished up my granola bar and threw the garbage in the trash. Kyle and Shayne were in the other room playing video games so I just sat at the bar in the kitchen and checked all my social media.

A few minutes later the doorbell rang and I screamed "I GOT IT!" She got here really fast.

I opened the door and suprisingly enough, it wasn't Emma. It was the guy from down the street.

He was tall, looked about my age, brown hair, and gorgeous brown eyes. We just looked at eachother for a minute.

I was just stunned but, I don't know his excuse.

"Um, hey" I finally managed to say

"Hi" he said. He looked nervous, god knows why. "Have you seen a giant black lab about" he put his hands up "this big running around? It's a black lab."

"N-no I don't think so. Sorry." Stupid, stupid, stupid! I said to myself

"Ok thanks. I better be going. Sorry for the intrusion"

"Don't worry about it" I said with a geeky smile.

He turned around and walked away, and I closed the door slowly behind him. Once the door was completelqy shut I leaned up against it and smacked myself in the forehead. Idiot, I called myself.

*Camerons pov*

'Idiot!' I called myself.

I sighed as I walked down the doorsteps. At least now I know there's some people my age living around here. But I just couldn't get her out of my mind. She was so beautiful and I screwed up the first impression. She probably thinks I'm a boy who can't talk right.

I tried to get her out of my mind by knocking on other doors looking for my black lab puppy Pepper.

It was nice, to see where I would be living. California is much different than North Carolina.

My dads job got transferred down here so we had to move. I didn't want to leave my friends, but I definitely didn't mind living in California.

After knocking on about 5 more doors I finally found Pepper in a middle aged mans back yard. I waved thanks and said sorry and began to walk home.

As I passed 'her' house (I unfortunately didn't know her name) I looked at it, briefly, and wondered if I'd be going to school with her.

'I sure hope so' I thought.

*Olivias pov*

About 15 minutes after the gorgeously hot guy left my doorstep, Emma finally got here. I invited her in and said to her

"I am such an idiot" while laughing

"What did you do this time"

After that I told her everything. First the hot guy, then the dog, and then how much of an idiot I was.

She looked at me for a second and then bursted out laughing

"Wow" she said in between laughs "that was great"

I gave her a light shove while laughing "shut up" I said "it was embarrassing!"

"Well why don't we" she said as she took my arm and stood up "go talk to him"

"OOOOH NO NO NO NO. I have already embarrassed myself enough, and I don't need to do anymore damage" I said as got out of her grip and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh come on, what if he thought you were being cute" she said with a smirk, following me into the kitchen.

"I honestly doubt that" I said while opening the cabinet, "somethin to drink? We got water, sprite, and lemonade" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Lemonade. But like seriously. I think he might've been interested in you. You said he was nervous talking to you right?" She said and took the lemonade "thanks"

"Well yes but, he was to gorgeous for me. He was tall, and skinny, and his eyes were dreamy" I started dazing off at the sound of his hot features. "But anyways," I said "like I said, he's way out of my league"

"Come on liv. Your gorgeous. I just want you to go look in the mirror and THEN come and tell me your not beautiful" she smiled at me

I looked at her and sighed and obieientaly walked into the bathroom. As I looked in the mirror I examined myself.

I was about 5'5, 110 lbs, blond hair with very few brown highlights. For the most part it was pin straight. I had big blue eyes, and pretty pale skin. My nose was freakishly small but I didn't mind it. I had curves in all the right places..

I finally stopped myself when I realize I have been in the bathroom for about five minutes.

I walk out and see Emma on her phone "Took you long enough" she said, putting her phone down "do you now see what I'm saying?" She asked me

"I guess" I shrugged, "but still"

"LETS GOO" she screamed at me and took my arm. It took her a lot to pull me out the door but I finally agreed to just go.

I saw her board on the side of the house. "You boarded all the way here?"

"Needed the exercise." She said

We decided just to walk instead of board. As we were walking we just talked about school and stuff like that.

But little did I know, that this moment was going to change my life.
