He Loves Me.......He Loves Me Not

CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER 4:

A/N: HEY GUYS!SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED THIS IN AWHILE, BUT I WAS BUSY... SO ANYWAY HERE'S ANOTHER CHAPTER. HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

AFTER SCHOOL: Well I'd like to say my day got better after first period. I'd be lying. Somehow, Jake had managed to be in EVERY single one of my classes except Art. Which was a good thing, since Art is my favorite class, and I really didn't want him ruining it.

I knew Taylor felt bad for me because she kept looking at me sympathetically which actually,didn't help. At all. At least I didn't have to sit next to Jake in any other class except for English, which was suddenly turning into my least favorite class. My other classes were pretty good though, so I guess Im just gonna have to deal with Jake.

So, anyway, I was supposed to go to Taylor's house after school today and we were just walking to the bus stop when I heard someone call our name. i turned to see Ethan sitting in his car, waving at us.

We walked over to him and he grinned.

"Hey guys. Need a ride?"

We got into the backseat of his car and he started driving.I was kinda wondering why he was being so nice. After a few minutes, Taylor said,"you don't have to drop scarlet off at her house. She's coming to our house."

"OK cool."he replied. "So girls, how was your day girls?"he asked.

"Um..."I trailed off.

Taylor quickly looked at me. "It was fine." she answered. I shot her a grateful look and she smiled back."How was yours?"she said quickly changing the subject.

We reached their house in 5 minutes. Ethan opened the door and walked out of the car, with me and Taylor following behind. Ethan put his key in the fancy lock and turned it, opening the door. We walked into the beautiful dining room, complete with a chandelier and walked into the living room.

Taylor and I flopped on the plush, red couch and sighed.

"Want some lemonade?"Ethan asked, leaning over the kitchen counter.

"Um, sure." Taylor and I both agreed. Yup he was definitely being nicer.What was up with that? Ethan had never been really... mean, but he was never THIS nice, like ever.

"Hey if I didn't know any better....Id say you were actually being...nice." Taylor teased.

"Oh shut up. I just had a good day at school." Ethan said

Taylor smirked and grabbed the T.V remote,

I grinned to myself. Ethan was being awfully nice. I turned my eyes back to the T.V. screen. We were watching some old romance movie. The two people on the screen were kissing. I groaned. It seems everyone is acting lovey-dovey except me.

Taylor quickly changed the channel. Ethan came up with his three glasses of lemonade.

"Thanks,"we both said, taking the cup. He sat down on the couch next to me.

Taylor and I both looked at each other. Awkward.

"Uh...are you gonna stay here?" asked Taylor.

"Well that's rude, considering I live here,"Ethan scoffed.

Taylor rolled her eyes ah him.

"Whatever."she said.

We both sank down on the couch and continued to watch the movie.

1 HOUR LATER: My phone rang loudly, interrupting our talking. It was my mom.

"Hey mom," I said.

"Ask her if you can stay here for dinner,"Taylor whispered.

"Mom, can I stay at Taylor's house for dinner?"

"Well, I am going to a dinner party and wont be back till later so I guess it would be OK. As long as someone can drop you back home."She said.

I covered the phone with my hand. "Can your mom drop me at home?"

"Uh... "

"I can." Ethan said.

"Really?"

"Sure."he agreed.

"OK mom.Ethan can."I told her.

"OK,"she hung up.

A while later, Taylor and Ethan's mom called us for dinner. It was meatloaf. Dinner was mostly quiet, except for some talking between me and Taylor.

After dinner Taylor and I walked back into the living room. A few minutes later Ethan came. He waved his keys at me and I followed him out of the room, saying bye to Taylor and her mom on the way.

We walked to Ethans car. I rememver how much money hed saved up to get it. It was a blue mustang and it was a pretty good car.Ethan unlocked the car door and we both got in.

Our houses are only about 10 minutes apart, so it was a short drive.

We were both quiet for a while until I said,"so how come you're being so nice to us?"

Ethan gave me a cute half-smile. "I told you. I had a good day."

I kinda smiled. "Any particular reason?"

"Not really."

We stopped at a red light and I glanced at him. Under the light, Ethan's eyes aqua blue eyes looked sparkling.

For a moment, we both just sat there, gazing at each other. Sounds corny, I know.

Then the light turned green and we both looked away quickly. I blushed, A few minutes later, we reached my house. All the lights were off.

I got out of the warm heated car and into the chilly November air. I shivered. It wasn't usually this cold.

"Here, "Ethan pulled off his blue jacket and handed it to me. I raised an eyebrow. He shrugged, like he would have done it for anybody.

"Its OK. Its only like 5 steps away," I said.

"Yeah but you'll probably forget your jacket tomorrow too,"he teased. I rolled my eyes and put it on

I shook my head and walked inside, turning on the lights.

"Bye, thanks for the ride." I said.

"Your welcome,see ya later." Ethan closed the door and I could hear him driving away.

I walked upstairs to my room and glanced at my phone. 8:43. I still had time before I had to go to sleep. I grabbed my laptop and watched a movie.

2 HOURS LATER: I was brushing my teeth and getting ready to go to bed when I realized I still had on Ethan's jacket. I grinned to myself. He was being so sweet.  I took it off and put it on my dresser. I'd give it to him tomorrow.
