Flipped 2

Flipped

Juli Baker's POV:

After Bryce and I finished the Sycamore tree, I invited him in for some lemonade.

As we started to drink, he continued to smile at me behind his glass.

I started to feel uncomfortable so I asked him,"Who gave you the idea to plant the Sycamore tree? Was is Chet?"

"Well to be completely honest, Yes it was Chet. But I was the one who bought the tree and went to the library to read a book about how to plant a tree." He began to look nervous and started fidgeting with his hands, hoping that I would still accept his idea.

"Haha, I guess it's the thought that counts."

He grinned and we sat there for a little just staring at each other when he blurted out,"Juli, I'm really sorry! I don't know what got into me. I know it was wrong of me to try and kiss you and then I completely ruined your date with Eddie but I think I've completely fallen for you!"

Bryce? Sorry? I feel like when you make a sentence out of those 2 words they just don't work. I didn't know what to believe. Just last week he was making fun of my uncle and not even a month ago he didn't take my side about the Sycamore tree. Now he's telling me that he's fallen for me! Oh please. The old Juli Baker would've died to be in this situation and would be all over Bryce. But this is now. I didn't feel any sparks when he told me. Nothing.

"Bryce I know you're sorry about what you did. But I don't know if I have the same feelings about you as I did before. You once were the first thought I thought about in the morning and the last thought I thought about at night. But now you're just a regular person to me."

"Please give me another chance Juli! I promise I won't screw up this time."

Why doesn't he understand that I don't like him anymore! "Friends, let's start out as friends. Is that okay?", I say shyly.

"Okay, but Juli I'm letting you know that I'm never going to stop fighting for you."

I didn't know what to think about this whole situation. "Bryce, I'm not worth your time." "But you are worth more than the worl-" "Juli come set the table up for me will you?", My mother asked me.

"Yes mom!"

"Sorry Bryce, Duty calls." I chuckled. "See you at school?"

"Yeah...see you." He smiled at me nervously.

As Bryce walked to his house, I realized that these next couple of years are going to be a roller coaster for me.
