Why Don't You Love Me?

Chapter 17

The rest of the day wasn't really that interesting. We just did the usual classes and we all ate lunch. It was a little strange because Aaron seemed a little occupied with his thoughts. Every time I asked him if he was alright he said that he was fine and that I shouldn't worry. 

I went home tired that day. Once the last bell rang I did the usual. Grabbed my earplugs and phone and listened to my music playlist which had all of the songs that were written by my favorite singer and some others. 

I exited the building and took out my phone. I selected the song, "Como Mirarte" by Sebastian Yatra and walked towards the path that I usually took when I walked home. I hummed along with the song and felt tears begin to fill my eyes a little bit. It was such a beautiful song and a little relatable at the moment. I cleared my throat and blinked my tears away. I decided to think about something else. I Immediately felt myself beginning to blush when the first thing that popped up was Aaron. I needed serious help.

The song ended and "Cross Your Mind" started playing.I squealed a little bit and danced on the small trail that I took on the way home. I sang along quietly and danced around. Man I loved his voice.

I walked into the house and made my way upstairs. I sighed as I plopped onto my back and laid on my bed. Once I did "Little Things" began and I listened to it as I teared up. 

'I wish someone loved me like that with my little flaws.' I thought as I listened to the beautiful song.

I arrived at school right when the bell rang for us to go to our lockers and get our books for our first class. I jogged over to my locker and saw Nicole getting her books.

"Hey!" She greeted once she saw me.

"H-hi." I managed to say as I tried to catch my breath.

"Let me guess, you ran all the way from your house because you accidentally hit dismiss instead of snooze and when you woke up you realized that it was late so you got ready as fast as you could and ran full speed here?" She asked as she closed her locker and leaned against it with her books in her hands.

I gave her a thumbs up as I panted. She knows me way to well. She chuckled and shook her head.

"Make sure to get up next time." She said. 

This was actually the first time she was being like a mother to me. I was usually the one that was know as the "mom" in our friend group. 

I laughed and nodded as I got my books for class. We gave each other a hug before we went to different classes. I walked into my history class and sat down immediately after I greeted Alan and Aaron.

"Kyle get your hands off of my locker before I hit you!" I exclaimed as I tried to hold my locker door open. 

He kept his hands on my locker and tried to close it before I could get my books for Bible. Nicole watched us fight and laughed. I mouthed the words "help me" but she just shook her head and told me that it was entertaining. I sighed and shook my head. I finally lost and Kyle shut my locker. I groaned and started to put my code in as quickly as I could. Once I did I swung it open and grabbed my books. I took my bible out and a piece of paper fell onto the floor.

Nicole and I looked at the paper on the floor and then looked at each other. She shrugged and I studied it. It had my name on it. I hand my books to Nicole and she held them for me as I reached down and picked up the paper. My name was written nicely on the outside. I looked over at Nicole and she raised an eyebrow. Before I could open it the bell rang and I quickly grabbed my books and we ran into our classes in a flash.
