The new girl

The Apology

I tried my best to ignore Dylan the rest of the day. I thought about what I wrote, and what was I planning on saying. I forgive him but... 

When the school ended I went out side and started walking. "Beatrice!" someone yelled.

It was Dylan. I was surprised he called me by my full name. Although it wasn't such a surprise. He thinks I hate him...

"Beatrice, wait up!" he yelled as he ran up to me. I stopped.

"Okay, look. I know you probably hate me and don't want to talk to me but-" he said slightly out of breath.  

"I don't hate you.." I cut him off. He looked up at me a bit confused but then continued.

"Please let me talk. Okay.... " he paused for a bit. "Yeah.  I know you probably hate me and don't want to talk to me but you have to hear me out. I'm sorry. I truly am. I was drunk...You might think that I drank just because I was partying, but actualy.. I drank because I needed courage... I know I'm stupid" he let out a little nervous laugh. " I needed courage because I was going to...." he looks at the ground embarrassed.

I raise my eyebrows saying "Continue..?."

"I was going to ask you out..." he mumbled while scratching the back of his neck.

WHAT? He was going to ask me out. To be honest, I thought he only kissed me because he thought I was some other girl... The girl he actually liked. And that was the real reason I was so mad at him.

"And in my drunken mind I might of taken things a little to far and.... I'm sorry. Connor told me everything about that night , and I'm truly sorry of all that I said and did... And most importantly for hurting you." he finishes looking up.

"Dylan, Did you prepare this speech?" I chuckle a little.

"Well.. Yeah..." He says embarrassed.

"I forgive you!" I say genuinely and give him a big hug. 

"Thank you. I've missed you." he quietly mumbles in my ear. I can feel his muscles relax.

"I've missed you to. And now, how about you give me a ride home." I chuckle.

"Come." he says with his arm around my shoulders.

It feels quite nice to be friends again with him. Wait... friends..? Wasn't he about to ask me out at the party? Does that mean he likes me? "No..." 

"Bea!" I snap back to reality "I'm pretty sure this is your house." He grins.

"What?" I say confused.

"I said It's your house and you said NO..." he laughs.

Oh no, I was thinking out loud again. "Wait, how much did I say out loud?" I laugh nervously.

"Nothing.. just the NO . What were you thinking about?"

"Umm. nothing " I say as I get out of the car.  I start walking to my house when I see that Dylan is coming with me.

"What are you doing?" I laugh.

"Wow, you really were zoned out for some time. I asked if you wanted to study together latter and you agreed, you silly." He playfully pushes me.

"Oh.. Soryy." I blush.

We head into the house and the first thing I hear is Alex running down the stairs "Triiiiiis, make me some foooood-" she stops as soon as she realizes Dylan is standing besides me.

"Oh.. You could of warned me that we were having a guest.. And a cute one." Alex says coming down the stairs.

"Alex!" I scold her. And Dylan just laughs.

"Hi, I'm Dylan. Bea's..." he stutters for a bit "Friend" he says looking at me.

"Ooooh, Dylan! You're the boy Tris always talks about" 

"Alex!" I yell at her. But she just laughs.

I look back at Dylan who has a big grin on his face. 

"Sorry" I mumble blushing.He just gives me a huge grin.

"Ok,"Alex brakes the awkward silence "I'm going out, so you two will have the house to yourselves" she smirks.

I give her a WTF face and she just laughs.

"Ok, byee!" she smiles going out the door.

When Dylan's turns away she mouths the words : He's hot!

"Bye Alex!" I shout looking at her angrily and slam the door behind her.

"Soo, you talked about me?" Dylan says with a cheeky smile on his face

"Oh shut up!" I smack him and go up the stairs.

I look back and see him standing there pouting with crossed arms.

"Oh come on!" I laugh and hug him tightly.

He squeezes me and throws me over his shoulder.

"Dyl!" I shout.

"To your room!" he announces and runs up the stairs.

He opens the first door and sees a huge, messy bedroom with 5SOS and 1D posters on the walls. He looks up at me with a questioning face.

"This is Alexs' room. Mine's the next one" I laugh.

He runs up to the next room and finally places me on the ground.

"Why Thank you!" I laugh bowing down.

We enter my room. Thank god I left it somewhat tidy, I think to myself.

"You have a nice room" he says looking around.

"Thanks." I say blushing.

"You look so cute when you blush." He says placing his hand on my cheek.

My face turns bright red as he looks into my eyes.He starts to lean in..

WAIT! No no no! Not yet.  I can't kiss him that soon. It would bring up those memories...

As he goes in for the kiss I quickly turn my head so the kiss lands on my cheek. Before he realises what just happened I run to my bookshelf. "Soo, what do you want to do first?"I ask him like it was nothing.

I look up to see him standing in the same spot looking at me confused.

"So.. What do you want to study first?" I ask him again trying to sound as casual as possible.

"What?" he shakes his head "Oh.. umm Math, I gues" I can see the hurt in his eyes.

"I'm sorry.. Just.. Not yet" I mumble quietly.

"It's ok, I get it" he sighs and walks up to me.

"So what's 4+4 ? Huh? " I ask trying to make it less awkward..

"10" he laughs.

"It's 6, you dork. " I punch him laughing.

"We are the next Einsteins" he laughs.

This is going to be a fun night.
