Are you mad at me too?

Chapter Fifteen: Are you Mad at me Too? (edited)

Ali has been ignoring me all week. And I don't know how much more I can take. I am just doing a friendly gesture to someone and she has changed this week. She no longer is with her wannabee group of friends, and she has found two real friends. Conner and me. The rest of our group is still skeptical about her especially Ali. But her and Olivia have stopped sitting with us since Isabella has joined. And every time I try to 'speak' to her she just gives me the silent treatment.

Everyone has been distant these last few weeks now that I think about it. "Hey Lunar" I hear the one person that calls me that whisper into my ear. I turn around and give him a smile.

Hey. He looks at me and I guess suspects something is wrong.

"What's wrong with you? Your still not your usual happy self." He asked. I looked at the ground.

Nothing, I'm fine I looked up at him and I knew he didn't buy it.

"That's for 'Everything's wrong, and I don't know what to do.' So, you are completely and utterly not fine." How can he read me so easily? "So, come on spill." I looked at him in his eyes.

I guess, its just because Ali is mad at me. And I think I know why but when I ask, she just ignores me...

"If it makes you feel any better, she isn't talking to any of us."

Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I am the reason. He gave me a hug and I hugged him back. Hugging each other was usual for us now.

"Okay lets get to class, I am going to come over to your house later okay." I nodded my head and we walked to our classes.

~+~

Its the end of the day and Conner is driving me to my house, and he is going to watch Netflix with me and eat ice cream. Once we got there, I grabbed my bag and unlocked the front door. Mom is at work and Ali is hanging out with Olivia.

He shuts the door behind him, and we walk to the kitchen to fix ice cream and popcorn. "So, how was the rest of your day?" I shrugged.

It was okay. But boring. He nodded we made small talk till the food was ready then we marched upstairs. We sat on my bed and I opened my laptop. What movie do you want to watch?

He shrugged, "I don't know. Just surprise me." I nodded my head and clicked on one of my favorite movies, Insidious.

"This movie is the best, good choice." He slightly laughed and we turned our attention to the computer.

I forgot how many jumps scared there is in this movie, but nothing that is extreme. "That was awesome as always." He shut the laptop and looked at me.

Conner are you mad at me like everyone else is, for giving Isabella a place to stay?

He shook his head, "Of course not, Isabella is short tempered and rude a lot but once you take the time to know her personally, she is actually tolerable to be around." I nodded.

We laid there and just talked, about life, and what we want to do when we get out of high school.

"Well, when high school is over, I want to go to college in New York. And I know its far away from here but, its somewhere I have always wanted to go to, and I think college would be a good time to." I nodded my head.

I either want to go to UCLA or a college in New York too. But when I do get out of high school, I want to be a dancer. And both colleges have great programs. But if dancing isn't an option then I would love to be a fashion designer or something. He nodded he had a smile on his face as he turned to me.

What? he shook his head nothing.

"Its nothing, your just really beautiful." I felt my cheeks get hot and I turned away. He gently faced me back to him. He looked at me and he started leaning in, I found myself leaning in to. Right before our lips touched, he backed away. "Um, I am sorry. I didn't mean too. Sorry I need to go." he started standing up and I stood with him.

I turn him back towards me and without thinking crash my lips onto his. He doesn't do anything for a minute and as I am about to stop from embarrassment, he starts kissing me back. Our lips moved in sync. We walked back to my bed not breaking the kiss.

A minute or two later we heard someone clear their throat and Conner jumped to my side. "Sorry, I came to talk to you. But I see your busy." Ali said starting to walk away.

"Wait Ali, I was just leaving." Conner said. I squeezed his hand as a thank you. Once Conner left Ali walked into my room.

"So, you and Conner finally kissed eh?" I blushed and looked away. "I knew it, you like him!" She laughed at my face.

Okay, what you want to talk to me about? She calmed down and faced me.

"I am sorry. I know I was upset about you helping Isabella, with what she is going through. I was being selfish and only thinking about what she has done to me and wanting to return it all to her. Instead of being a bigger person and forgive her." Ali said with a sad face.

Ali, one doesnt say sorry. I am sorry because I should have asked you before I told her what mom said. I know what she did was horrible. And I just wanted to help her and show her that instead of being cruel it could change the way she acted towards others. She hugged me.

"I know I can forgive her, but it doesn't mean it will be forgotten and if I can earn her trust then I will give her a chance to earn mine too." I hugged her a little tighter. Ali can hold a grudge for a few days, but this is the longest she has gone without speaking to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sister.
