This Can't Be Good

Chapter 23

I had spent the weekend hanging out with Miranda doing all the things we use to do before she got her perfect relationship. On Sunday we ended up taking Lexis with us to get our nails done and it was the funniest thing ever.

The weekend was also very interesting. I woke up both Saturday and Sunday morning to flowers being left on the doorstep of our house with two purple letters. On Saturday it was a bouquet of lilies with a note that read:

I've never met anyone like you, and yes we have met. You make me see life in a whole different perspective. You're different yet you don't care because you're you. I've known you a while yet I know almost nothing about you.

It was so sweet just like the others but yet it was simple. The first ones I received had so much hidden emotion in them that this one just didn't have. It was upsetting. On Sunday I received a bouquet of yellow roses with the tips red with another note.

Picking flowers isn't easy for a girl like you, especially when considering the meaning behind them. Just like a person, flowers have meanings. You to me Josylne is a meaning that I've yet to fully understand. I'm tired of writing these letters. Over the coarse of two months I've written over 40 notes. I know you're reading them too, because you got the flowers. I'm tired of hiding behind this security. Its times you know. So get ready.

I was shocked by this note. Sure I was dying to know who this person was but I didn't want to get my hopes up. Every letter I read made me believe it was Parker and if it’s not I'll be disappointed and the poor guy will be devastated.

That night I looked up what the meaning behind the roses were. I knew that roses had different meanings but it never really interested me much. Turns out the two dozen yellow roses with red tips meant that someone was falling in love with me. If I wasn't scared before that terrified me. I mean sure people fell in love at young ages but I'm only sixteen. I've only had one other relationship and that didn't end well. Not to mention I had feelings for someone else.

I was sitting in AP Chemistry taking notes on some useless information. We changed seats and now I was located by the window that outlooked the football field. Since it was Friday and we had our division final game tonight all the boys were out there practicing. They had been at it since eight this morning and had to stay after today. I could see them all running drills and could tell who was who just by watching how they ran.

"Ms. Emmerce since you are so interested with the window and don't seem to care about what I have to say. Please balance this equation," Mr. Becker spoke. The class chuckled silently and I could feel my face getting hot.

I walked up to the board and solved the equation effortlessly leaving Mr. Becker speechless. I took my seat and went back to looking out the window. Max was running around like a crazy person and I was trying to hold in a laugh. To bad I'm not out there. The bell rang and I walked to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

Miranda was seated at our usual table and Jayden was sitting next to her. I took a seat and soon Max and Ava joined us. I was surprised when Parker took a seat next to us. I guess he didn't feel like being Charlie's boy toy today.

"I swear if we don't win tonight I'm going to kill coach," Jayden wined.

"Please you guys will win if not this is your last game and then we take over," I gestured to me and Max.

Since it was Friday the boys had their home jerseys on. Our school had all the decorations up and everyone had their favorite team members number somewhere on their person. The boys had given their special girls their away jerseys to wear for the night. Like usual I was wearing Jayden's jersey and I shocked myself by doing what I did next.
