I wake up at 2am and turn on my phone. I guess I turned it off at some point yesterday. Oswald is still online. I wanna text him bad. There are so many messages from him but he's better off without me.

I sigh and turn the phone off after replying to other messages then I stare at my purple coloured wall and cry. I cry till I can't no more. When I check the time it's 3 am. I learn a bit then get ready for school.

Life at school had been boring. Nic- Oswald still sits at our table and sneaks glances at me but I still act like he doesn't exist. It's hard and it's killing me but I know I have to do it for us. I don' t even know what we were so why is this such a big deal?

I explained everything to B the next day. She thinks I'm wrong not telling him but still respects my decision.

It's been 2 weeks since we stopped talking to each other and I'm getting more depressed with each passing day. He doesn't look too good either.

School is over and I'm dropping my books of in my locker when I hear someone call oh my name. It's Oswald.

I ignore him to see I he'd go away but he doesn't.

He sighs and speaks up. "I know my dad asked you to stay away from me"

"How did you-" I ask but he cuts me off

"Doesn't matter how. The important thing is my mom set him straight and he's letting me off the hook. So we can spend time together now " he announces looking quite happy but his smile falls when he sees the look on my face.

"No. We can't" I say

"Why?"

"Because as much as I hate to admit it, your father is right. I may be a good girl but I'm being a bad influence on you. You'd be better of without me so please forget you ever met me." I say and he looks shattered.

I walk out of there as quickly a possible. My legs take me to the community park. I sit on the swing and let the tears out. I know. I'm a crybaby.

Someone hands me a tissue. I look up to see Levi. I take it from him and mutter a thanks.

"It's probably none of my business but why are you crying" he asks, looking concerned

"Why do you care?"

"I don't. I was just asking. No need to be a bitch about it. I'm trying to be nice to you. Just once, if you appreciate my efforts I'd be glad" he says and gets up to leave.

"Wait. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just, I'm going through a lot. And your efforts have been noticed. But really, why try so hard?"

He sighs and rubs the back of his neck. He looks nervous. "Because I like you"

Okay. Hold up. Who else likes me. Please tell me now because it seems everyone else is doing it. The bad boy also likes me? This has got to be my lucky year and it just started.

"I never say that so it's kinda hard for me. I broke up with Esther because things weren't working out between us. I wanted someone like you but I just couldn't see it in her. If you'd give me the chance, I'd like to know you and make you the happiest girl ever" I hesitate a bit.

He seems sincere and things don't seem like they'd get any better between Oswald and I. After all, we were never really a thing.

So instead I say, "I'd love to get to know you too so I'm giving you this opportunity" and smile

He smiles back and suddenly, his lips are on mine. Wow. That was fast.

He pulls away quickly and mutters a sorry. I just blush.
