You Complete Me- Dylan O'Brien

Chapter 16

When I woke up on Sunday, my head was spinning. I was extremely hung over and my thoughts about last night weren't making me feel better. I remembered that Krista and Nicole fought, and Amber of course sided with the popular girls rather than defending me. 

Just when I thought she had changed she showed me again that I couldn't trust her, but I don't know why I expected something different. 

Most of my thoughts though, were about Dylan. Last night I had almost kissed him but even though he had a date. It didn't make sense to me why he wanted to be with me since he asked her out. 

Part of me wanted to talk to him but another part was telling me no. It was always the guys like him that caused the most problems. The ones that had the horrible reputation, but had a sad story to go with it then acted all sweet toward you. They were the ones that drew you in and made you catch feelings only to break you. Then, once they had you completely broken, they find a way to pull you back in again.

However since I never made my feelings clear and we were just friends he was not really at fault in the end. 

One thing that did make me mad though was how he was back and forth with everything and that is one thing Marina Cole won't stand for. He didn't look happy with his date, but it bothered me that he thought he could just come crawling back to me and get me to dance with him.

He can't just use me to get himself out of bad situations he created for himself. 

"It's time for Sunday relaxation" I say to myself rolling my eyes. I set up a bath and a few hours later after drying off, having pizza for dinner, and scrolling on my phone, it's midnight. I set my alarm, put my phone down and am off to bed. That night, I decided I was going to make Dylan come back to me rather than just giving in and going back to talking to him. Was it petty? Absolutely. Did I care? Not one bit.

I wake up a little bit earlier the next morning to dress up. Part of my plan was to make myself look hot all week. I did usually dress well, but I was going to put in a bit more effort. And you may think, why all this for a guy? Well to be honest most of it was for me. I wanted a little confidence boost. 

I put on a white tennis skirt, a cropped long sleeve brown sweater with a turtle neck, and black Doc Marten shoes. I put on a few layered necklaces to complete the look. I put on Mascara and a red lip gloss and let my hair fall in its natural waves. 

I walked downstairs and found Amber sitting there. Fuck. 

"You look good" she said eyeing me

"Thanks... well see ya" I said grabbing a banana and running out the door. I was not in the mood to listen to her.

I hop in my car and drive to school blasting my music. I rolled the windows down and let the fall air flood my car. I absolutely love this season and can't wait for halloween since it's this Saturday. 

I park my car in the school lot and as I get out, there are immediately eyes on me. Looks like the gossip about everything that happened at Homecoming got around. At least I looked bomb af right now. 

As I walk in the school, people continue to look at me, but now they were checking me out. This is exactly what I wanted. I can't help but smirk. I'm not one to work for attention, but right now, I wanted it. I wanted to be in the spotlight and I damn well was.

Dylan's POV

After almost kissing Marina at homecoming, I didn't know what to do. Being that close to her felt like nothing I've ever felt before. What I feel with her is not something I've felt with other girls.
