I Accidentally Kissed My Bestfriends Brother

22. Single and Flowers

As soon as I walked into school it was a mad house.

I was immediately surrounded by boys from every stereotype, from the chess club to the Quarterbacks.

They all kept asking The the same questions which consisted of...

"Amelia, now that you're single, do you want to go to prom with me?"

"Would you like to go on a date with me?"

"Who are you going to prom with because it should be me"

While others just kept handing me flowers and boxes of chocolates.

Easton broke up with me yesterday at the end of school where only the cheerleading team and football team were present but most likely in the locker rooms.

When I finally manage to get through the crowd of boys, I sprint towards my locker only to accidentally run into someone.

I feel all the gifts fall out of my grasp as I prepare myself to fall to the ground but it never came.

I slowly peek open my eye only to see a brown pair of eyes looking down at me with amusement

"Are you okay?" He asks when I can stand on my two feet again

"Yeah, Sorry, I was in a rush and I guess I didn't see where I was going" I say with an apologetic tone before I kneel down and start picking up all the gifts

"I see you're pretty popular with the boys" he says with a humor filled laugh as he starts to help me pick up the mess I made

"What makes you say that?" I ask as I continue to pick up the boxes and letters

"All of these love confessions," he says as he hands me his pile that he collected which makes me blush as I take them from him "Plus there's a crowd of boys behind you" he says as he points behind me which makes me groan in annoyance

No one has had the balls to ask me out in my years of living until now.

"Can you please help me out with them. I need to get to class in five minutes but they're blocking my route" I say with a pleading expression

"Okay, follow my lead" he says before he gently grabs my hand and helps me up

He places his arm around me which makes me tense as I lean in and try to look like this dude and I are in a relationship of some sort.

As soon as the group of boys see his arm placed around me, they glare at him before walking away which allows me to finally make my way towards my classroom

"Wow look at this," I hear Emma say from behind me "It seems like the Virgin Mary has moved on already" she says which causes me to turn around and glare at her

"I don't see why that's any of your business but no I have not" I say with a calm tone since I don't want to cause a scene

"Oh yeah? Then why was his arm around you?" She questions making me roll my eyes

Who is she? Nancy Drew?

"He was just escorting me to class" I say

"That's what they all say then next thing you know they're escorting you to bed" she says with a smirk

"Did that happen to you?" I ask with mock confusion since I'm done with her bullshit

"I'm nothing like you, I won't let a guy take advantage of me for his own gain" I say which causes her to turn red as the smirk she previously had falls into a scowl

She glares at me before she struts off down the hall.

What is with everyone today?

Did I come to the right school or am I in a alternate universe?

"I know this probably isn't the right time to ask this," the dude says which causes me to turn around towards him

"Do you maybe want to catch a movie with me?" He asks as his cheeks turn pink

Aww, he's blushing.

"Yes, Of course, it's the least I could do for all the help you've given me" I say with a sweet smile which makes him smile back at me.

"Meet me at the west side movie theater at seven" he says which makes me smile as I nod.

As soon as I walk into homeroom and sit in my seat, I'm immediately tackled into an embrace by Stella

"I saw you talking to a guy outside. You move on quick" she says with discomfort and confusion when we pull away from each other

"I don't have any feelings towards him but he did help me earlier so I agreed to go to the movies with him" I say

"Amelia" Stella says with a warning tone

"We're just two strangers going to watch a movie together. You and I both know I'm not over Easton, especially not this quickly" I say to her

"Okay" She says with hesitation in her tone before the teacher walks in and begins teaching us

-

School was torturous.

Emma felt the need to comment on everything that I did.

Random boys kept giving me gifts then tried to stay near me which resulted in Stella having to yell at them to go away.

The mysterious boy that I ran into this morning is, according to Stella, also a senior plus he's on the football team.

I found it weird how I haven't noticed him till now.

I haven't seen Easton at all today but when I came over after school, because Stella wanted to help me get ready for my movie hang out, he wasn't there.

"What movie are you guys going to watch?" Stella asks as she looks through her closet and starts to throw random clothes that are in her way

"I don't know. He never said" I say with a shrug which causes her to scoff

"It was a two second conversation" I say, trying to defend my point

She ignores me and instead hands me a dark blue dress that stops a little below my mid thigh area, a black leather jacket, and black combat boots.

"Thank you" I say with an appreciative tone before I start to change right there since I'm too lazy to walk all the way towards her bathroom.

When I'm done changing I turn towards Stella and see her looking at the wall with a blush on her face

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" I say which causes her to turn her head towards me

"No, you're fine, a warning would've been nice though" she says before she hands me a brush

"I'll remember that for next time" I say jokingly before I accept the brush and brush my hair so that it's wavy instead of curly.

"What time is it anyway?" I ask since she took a long time to pick out an outfit

I asked her if she wanted my help when she was looking for an outfit but she refused to accept my invitation so I just nodded and let her do her thing.

"It's six fifty-five" she says with a shrug that makes me instantly stare at her in shock

"The movie theater is twenty minutes away and our original meeting time is in five minutes" I say as I grab a small black crossbody purse and fill it with my essentials before I stumble out of her room

"Tell me how it goes" I hear Stella yell out as I run down the stairs

"I will" I yell back before I run out her door and get into my car before I slightly speed towards the location.

I hope I'm doing the right thing.
