Forever The Good Girl

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

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

My classes drug on and on. Especially french. I couldn't wait to get home. And not only because school was boring. I'm actually really worried about Eli and I. Would he still be at the school? I barely knew the kid and I was already way in over my head. This was why I screwed things up. But this time I wouldn't. Guys were not my priorities anymore and I needed to remember that.

I tried my best to as I walked towards my locker at the beginning of lunch. How was I going to find Trevor? I don't know where his locker is or where he hangs out.

I got to my locker and saw Light waiting there for me. I smiled and went up to hug her.

"Don't touch me." Her voice shook and I pulled back to see that she was holding back tears.

"Light! What's wrong?"

"Are you really going to play stupid?"

My mind flashed to Josh. Oh, great. "Look, whatever Josh said..."

"Oh, I suppose you're going to tell me that he tried to kiss you."

I felt my eyes widen. "He did, though!"

"Don't even try. I thought I could trust you."

She walked away and I didn't try and stop her. Nothing I said would change her mind and I knew it. This was exactly what I was afraid of. This stupid cliche teenage drama and mistrust. I couldn't help it, I rolled my eyes. I felt bad for Light, but she wasn't going to trust me so there wasn't anything I could do.

I didn't even start to cry.

I opened my locker, my mind full of all my issues. The last thing on my mind was Trevor, but when I closed my locker, he was standing beside me.

"Oh, hi."

"Hey," he said.

"How did you know where my locker is?"

"Because mines straight across from yours." He pointed behind him.

"Oh," I felt my cheeks going red. How had I never noticed him before now, then?

"So where do you want to go to lunch?"

"I don't know. Why do you want to go to lunch?"

"Um," he looked unsure of how to answer. "Why do you think?"

"I honestly have no idea."

"Are you like this to every guy who asks you out?"

"I'll let you know."

"What?"

"Nevermind," I smiled. "So where do you wanna go?"

"I was thinking we could grab some pizza."

"Sounds like fun."

 "Are you always this sarcastic?"

I glanced at him. "Was that sarcasm?"

"Was it not?"

"It was." I have no idea why I was being so rude, or even how. I'm the good, polite, kind girl who never forgets to say please. But I couldn't help but feel guilty. Eli was somewhere doing God-knows-what and I was here on some sort of date. Not that Eli and I had anything going on... I wouldn't even kiss him.

But that was because I've learned my lesson. Guys are jerks who only really care about your body. None of them had proven any different, and I was done trying.
