Mr. Best friend and I

Chapter Eight - Awkward day

- Chapter 8 -

The day after the kiss...
'Awkward' is the only word that can explain how it has been going between Luke and I, We haven't had a long conversation since i left his house the other day. I mean like we can't even look at each other in the eyes. Luke tried to act normal but it's not normal. Well, at least i know it's not.

"Chlo!" i jumped up when the voice interrupted my thought. i turned my head to the voice owner and i saw Casper's face in my eye sight.

"Huh?" I asked, frowning. He sighed and repeat the previous sentence that i missed.

"I said Can-I-borrow-your-red-pen?" He said slowly with wide mouth. I stared blankly at his wide mouth cause him to seal his mouth into a thin line.

"Sure." I answered, handing him my red pen. he mouthed 'thank you' and took it before get back to his work.

We're in a middle of an spanish class and i have Peyton, Harris and Casper in this class. Pretty lucky. I sit next to Pey and Casper, and Casper sits next to Harris. If you understand what i'm saying. My fingers kept touching my lips without any control. The teacher is talking about the last lesson and i already know all the things from last lesson, so this is like my chill time. My brain, It won't stop thinking of that kiss.... Jeez his lips need to get out of my head already.

"Geeze Chloe! Did you hear me? what is up with you today?" Peyton asked me, snapping out of my thought.

"uh-h nothing." i said, looking anywhere but Peyton.

"uh-h you're lying." she snapped and i just rolled my eyes at her.

"so, what did you say to me earlier?" i changed the subject while twisting my hair around my fingers.

"i said, there's a party. Jake's party. This friday. Are you interested?" she stated with raised eyebrows. Jake is one of the best party thrower around here. But i usually don't go to parties. I just don't like it that much.

"i don't know, are you?" i said lazily, lying my back against the chair.

"i kind of wanna go but if you don't want to then we won't. I don't think mia will go anyway and party without my best bitches sucks." she said, giving me the pointed look that made me giggle.

"if you want to go, we will." i said back smiling. i mean i'm currently not in my best mood but i don't want to bring my friends down too. Maybe we would enjoy the party, who know? And i need to get my mind of the kiss thing.

"Really? oh my god this is going to be so fun!" she squeaked with excitement in her voice. Peyton would be doing 'the happy dance' already if she isn't sitting in class. I grinned to her adorable reaction and she returned it.

"Well, you have to find me a dress though. I have none." I said while stuffing the book into my backpack. Ready to get out of this class whenever the bell rings.

"We could go shopping today after school." She offered while packing her stuffs too. today? I have to work on the project with Luke.. but things are pretty awkward between us. i don't know. Maybe we should take a break. Yeah probably.

"Sure." I answered shortly and brought my phone out of the bag. Ok, i just need to text Luke.

....

what should i say um...

I can't do the project tonight, sorry. i'll call you later. -Chloe

-------------------------------------------------

- Luke's POV -

i was in class with Helen and she won't stop talking. It annoyed me. A lot. I rolled my eyes and put my headphones on. The song started and it got me thinking of that day. The day Chloe and I kissed. I missed it so fucking much. 'Only if i was her boyfriend' that thought is always in my head. Unfortunately, i'm not.

Isn't it funny? How i've been thinking about my girl bestfriend way more often than my girlfriend. it might sound crazy but i never liked Helen from the beginning anyway. Back then i was stupid and blind. I thought being with Helen would stop me from liking Chloe. But clearly it didn't work. And back then Chloe was with the other guy, dylan. And i wasn't happy with that, infact i hate that they were dating. So, i dated Helen hoping it would makes Chlo jealous but no. It was a mistake. And now helen is never going to let me go. I sighed again with that thought, tapping my fingers against the desk with worry.

Ding!

I looked up to my phone and the familiar name showed up on the screen. Chloe. A smile creeped onto my face on it own. i felt a little weird in my stomach but i ignored it and opened the message i received.

i can't do the project tonight, sorry. I'll call you later. -Chlo

The previous smile has gone immediately. I choked a little not expecting the message to be this way. Is she avoiding me? This is only going to be more awkward. I ran my hand through my messy hair while groaning in frustration. I missed her so damn much. Just then, a paper flew straight to my direction and crashed onto my forehead. I looked at the direction the paper was from and i saw Jake laughing his ass off. I bent myself down and pick the paper up. Suddenly, My eyes met the notes on the paper.

Dude, I'm going to throw a party. This friday 7pm, My place. Tons of hot babe there. wanna come? - J

A party? That sounds fun. I haven't went to one in a while. And i think i really need to get drunk. That's a good idea.

I sent a smirk to Jake's way and He sent a nod back. He's not in my gang but he's 'the party thrower' so this should be fun. Maybe getting drunk would make me happier than i am right now.

The bell rang, cutting me off my mind. I throw my stuff into the bag carelessly before stood up and made my way out of this class. I walked down the hall way typically. But in the sudden, My chest bumped into someone. I lost my balance a little but it's still in my control. I looked down and saw books all over the floor. Without looking who bumped into me, I bent down and collected some of the books that is laying on the floor.

"Sorry, My bad." i said while collecting the last book on the floor before gave it back to the owner. I looked up to see who is it and the familiar face appeared on my eye sight. It is her. Chloe. She smiled sheepishly before stood up from the floor. She turned her body to another way, ready to walk away. But automatically, my hand shot to her wrist and grabbed it. She stopped and turned back to face me. Her eyes are the prettiest thing ever and i know right at this moment how much i miss it.

"I need to talk to you." i said seriously while she starred at me quietly. She nodded softly before i pulled her gently to the garden outside the hallway.
