Why Don't You Love Me?

Chapter 9

I woke up earlier today so I took my sweet time to get ready. I looked at myself in the mirror. My short dark brown hair was a mess. I took the brush and brushed it. It still didn't look brushed. I sighed and put my hair into a pony tail.

"Perfect." I said, smiling at myself in the mirror.

I grabbed my bag and went to school. It was 7:30 a.m. I walked through the doors and walked over to the table in the cafeteria where Nicole, Kyle, Alan, and Manny were sitting. I slid into my seat and greeted my friends.

"So how was the date with Aaron?" Kyle asked as he wiggled his eyebrows like a dork.

"Yeah how was it?" Nicole asked. I smiled and sighed.

"It was fun." I said.

They smirked and wiggled their eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and saw Alan look annoyed at the corner of my eye.

"Are you okay, Alan?" I asked him.

He looked at me and nodded. He smiled but I could tell that it was fake. I frowned a little bit and then, without thinking, I wrapped my arms around him and embraced him. He stiffened and waited for me to let him go.

"If you need anything I'm here. You know that right?" I said as I looked into his eyes.

He swallowed and then nodded. I smiled at him and then turned to Nicole and Kyle. They smirked and I rolled my eyes. The bell finally rang and we went to class.

Aaron smiled at me and greeted me with a kiss on my hand. My eyes widened and I could feel my face turn a little red. I was a little shocked. I just stared at him, confused.

Alan walked past me and grabbed my wrist, pulling me away from Aaron. His grip was really tight around my wrist which really hurt.

"H-hey!" I said. He ignored me and then let go of my wrist.

"What was that for?" I asked him.

"Nothing I just wanted to tell you something." He said. He looked a little annoyed for some reason. Was he jealous?

"You could've just asked to speak with me." I said as I rubbed my wrist. He realized that my wrist was in pain and he apologized with a straight face.

"So what did you want to tell me?" I asked him. He sighed and scratched the back of his neck. Cute!

"Please don't get mad at me." He said. I raised and eyebrow.

"Alright...?" I said.

"Elizabeth and I are friends." He said. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.

"What?!" I exclaimed. He sighed and I could sense people watching us.

"Keep it down, jeez." He said. I felt like crying.

"Why would you be friends with her?" I asked. He scratched the back of his neck and looked away.

"She's actually a pretty cool person to hang out with." He said. My jaw dropped.

"Have you seen the way she has treated me?!" I exclaimed. He sighed and shook his head. I clenched my fists and bit my lip, trying not to cry.

"I know how she treated you but she's gotten better." He said. I couldn't believe it! Was he seriously going to be friends with that...girl?! I wanted to punch him. I wanted to hit him and yell at him.

Before I could say or do anything Elizabeth came in. 

"Alan!" She called out as she gave him a big hug. I clenched my fists even tighter and stiffened with anger.

"Oh, h-hey Liz." He said as he stiffened a little bit. She then stopped hugging him and looked over at me.

"Hey Angel!" She exclaimed.

"Angelina." I corrected her. She narrowed her eyes for a second and then smiled. I glared at her and smirked.

"I just wanted to apologize for the way that I have treated you. I know what I did was horrible." She said, pouting. I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes.

"Angel she said she was sorry." Alan said. He seemed a little annoyed by my reaction to Elizabeth's "apology". 

"Yeah I know." I said, still looking at her. 

"I really am sorry." She said. 

I stayed silent for a little bit and then the bell rang.

"I have to go to class." She said. She then walked past me and I watched as she walked away. Right before she left the classroom she turned to me and smirked. She mouthed the words "not sorry" and left. My eyes widened and I could feel my body heat up from anger. 

"What's wrong princess?" Aaron asked as he grabbed my arm gently. 

"Nothing." I mumbled as I walked over to my desk. Aaron gave me a worried look and then sat down at his desk. I looked over and saw Alan looking at me with a frown on his face. I put my head on my desk and closed my eyes, trying to process the fact that Alan was friends with her.
