When We're Older | Chris Collins

Chapter 5

"Hey!" Bailey came up to me. "Hey." I said with the biggest smile on my face possible. "How was your night?" She asked. "Perfect. What about yours?" She smiled. "Mine was amazing." She said. "What did you do?"

"Well, first off, me and Crawford went to get something to eat, and then he took me bowling. It was so much fun. I fell down when I was going to throw the ball and he caught me and we just stood there staring at each other. And then afterwards he brought me home and then he kissed my cheek and went home." She talked so fast I could barely understand her. "Wow, that sounds amazing. Me and Chris went to eat and he took me to a drive in movie." I told her. "They still make those?" She asked and I nodded. "And he took me home and then he kissed my cheek and left." I smiled. "I know." She said.

"What do you know?"

"That he kissed your cheek. I got home shortly before you did and I watched." She giggled. "Stalker much?" I laughed. "Hey, speaking of the boys. Where are they?" I asked her. "Oh, I'm not sure." She said. The bell rang meaning it was time for my first class, algebra.

I walked to class and I was not late, thank the Lord. Everyone was still stumbling in the classroom. I walked to my seat and sat down. "Hey babe." Ricky said stumbling by my seat. "Who gave you permission to call me that?" I said. "What an idiot." He said. I turned around and seen him talking to Brianna. Wow, I do feel like an idiot. Who in their right mind would call me babe? Ricky went and sat down. "That's right, me and Ricky are dating now." Brianna said. "Like I care."

"Oh you will." She said. I rolled my eyes. "Alright everyone, take your seats!" Mr. Howard said. I looked around the room trying to see if Chris was here. I didn't see him anywhere. Just then, he walked through the door. "Sorry I'm late." He said. "Take a seat in the back Mr. Collins." Mr. Howard told him. He did as he was told.

After class was dismissed, everyone flooded into the halls. I tried to catch up to Chris but I couldn't. When I finally did, he looked in a bad mood. "Hey, you okay?" I asked. "Oh, uh, yeah." He said. "I don't believe you. Why were you late?" I asked him. "I just overslept that's all. Now leave me alone." He walked away while I just stood there.

At lunch me Bailey, and Crawford were sitting at our normal spot. "Where's Chris now?" I asked Crawford. "I have no idea." I looked down at my food. I couldn't even eat. Why was he in such a bad mood. "Guys, I'm gonna go look for him okay?" They nodded and I got up and left.

I walked by the bathrooms and I heard crying. I peaked into the boys bathroom and then I entered. "Chris?"

"What?" He wiped the tears from his eyes and then walked over to me. "I came to look for you."

"Why? Shouldn't you be with Lucas Hempting or whatever his name is?" He said angrily. "What are you talking about?" I asked. Okay he is really confusing me. "Brianna told me that after our date you went to his house." I suddenly got really angry. "What! No! I don't even know the kid hardly. And plus why on Gods green earth would I do that?!" He looked up at me. "Wait, so you didn't?" I looked at him. "Of course not! I like you!" I said. "Well, that's good." He wiped his face off with his jacket.

"Yeah."

"Because, I like you too. A lot." He said. My stomach was about to explode with butterflies. "Now let's get out of here before someone comes in here and sees you." He said which made me giggle.

We walked out side the bathroom and went to sit back down at lunch. "Where were you bro?" Crawford asked. "Oh, I had to do something."

"Oh."

"Do you guys wanna do something after school?" Chris asked. "Sure." We all said in unison. "Okay, well we have a pool and we could go swimming." He said. "Chris, are you that stupid?" Crawford said. "What?" Chris said."Its the middle of September!" Chris face palmed. "Oh yeah. Well, we could go to the mall." He suggested. We all looked at each other and agreed.

After school Chris drove us to the mall. I sat in the front with him and Crawford and Bailey sat in the back. "No funny business back there, you two." Chris said to them. Bailey giggled and Crawford just rolled his eyes, but managed to smile.

Once we got there we split up. Me and Chris went to American Eagle while Crawford and Bailey went to rue21.

Bailey's P.O.V

"So, how has life been?" I asked Crawford. "Good. I'm so glad we moved here." He said. "Yeah me too."

"This girl named Brianna, came up to me and said her boyfriend was having a party this weekend. Do you wanna come with me?" He asked me. "Sure." I smiled. Montana is going to hate me for that but she'll get over it.

Montana's P.O.V.

"So you are from Canada?" I asked Chris. "Yep." We were roaming around a bunch of different stores. "You don't sound it." I giggled. "I don't?" He smiled at me his flashy white teeth. "Nope." "Well, maybe I'll have to start talking like it then. Yeah?" I laughed at him. "Here we go." I said. "Don't you like it, yeah?" I shook my head and we both started laughing.

After we got home from the mall, I did my homework and got a shower and went to bed.
