You care because ? James asked, his tone cold. Matt’s eyes widened and he elbowed him in the ribs.
What he means is, why do you want to know ? Matt said awkwardly, giving me a small smile.
He hasn’t been in school and I was beginning to get-
Worried ? James scoffed. Oh look Matt, the bitch is worried. My eyes widened and I subconsciously took a step back, heat rushing to my face.
What he means- Matt tried.
I mean what I said. I find it surprising that you would give a shit about Connor. Or wait, is this all another act of yours ? James hissed, his eyes glaring at me with so much hate. I felt my eyes fill with tears as I tried to blink them away.
You only think about yourself. James spat out, looking at me in disgust.
That hit a nerve.
I raised my hand to my mouth in attempt to muffle the sob that broke loose. At the sight of regret crossing James face, I broke. With tears streaming down my face, I left the lunchroom, unable to handle it anymore. I didn’t even think about what I was doing as I hopped inside my car, driving off. I was about to turn onto a street, when I slammed my brakes, stopping only an inch away from the pissed off guy in front of me.
Would you watch where you’re going ! He yelled. I panicked and got out of my car, apologizing repeatedly.
Hey, it’s okay. The guy said softly, No need to cry. Only then did I realize I was still crying from before.
I- I- I…
It’s okay, you don’t have to explain yourself. He said, rubbing my arm comfortingly.
If there’s anything I can do for- I began to say.
Actually there is. He said, his eyes twinkling. I help in a gulp of air as I waiting nervously.
I want your number. I let out the gulp of air in a relieved sigh. Then his words sunk in, and I took a step back.
But I don’t know you. I said, unsure.
That’s the point. We can get to know each other. He said, flashing me a breath taking smile. I simply nodded my head as I took his phone from his hand, adding myself as a contact.
Bella… That’s a beautiful name. He said sincerely. I blushed and tried to look away, but I was mesmerized by his sparkling green eyes.
I’ve got to go now, but I’ll see you around. He said with a smirk. I blushed again and nodded furiously. Just as he was about to turn the corner, I remembered something.
Wait ! You never told me your name ! I called out. He turned back, smirking.
I’ll save that bit of information for our date. He said with a wink. I smiled and went back into my car, and only then, did it dawn on me that he had said ‘date.’
What have I gotten myself in to ?
Connor’s POV
I had told Bella out of the blue that I was done with her, and now she is all over Liam. Call me pathetic and shit, but I was depressed. Never- never in my life had a girl not fallen for me instantly. Sure, there were a couple girls who took a while to break, but it was different with Bella.
I can honestly say that the passion I feel during the kisses we’ve shared- it’s unlike anything else.
I want her to be mine more than anything else, but it seems that she really wants nothing to do with me. As much as I try to get her to admit the passion we have, it seems that I’m only trying to convince her.
And I couldn’t cope with the rejection.
Connor, baby, what’s wrong ? You seem distracted. Jenna, or was it Lili, said. I frowned and looked down on her.
Sorry. I muttered. She smiled and batted her eyes flirtatiously and began to kiss me, rocking her hips against mine.
This wasn’t what I wanted, but I felt weak. Bella didn’t want me, so I assumed that getting laid would help.
Douche move Connor, douche move.
Connor ! Jenna/Lili moaned out, throwing her head back against the pillow. I pulled out, falling to the side.
You should go now. I muttered, grabbing all my clothes.
B-but… why ? She asked sounding hurt. I stood up, pulling up my jeans, ditching my shirt.
Go. I know, I was being a dick, but I was pissed. Nothing could get my mind off of Bella. I had even ditched school for the rest of the week, hoping it would help.
As you can see, it didn’t.
I lead the way down the stairs as Jenna/Lili followed me, pulling on her clothes in a rush.
Will you call me ? She asked when we reached the door.
Probably not. I said bluntly, not even feeling the slightest bit of guilt as a look of hurt crossed her face. I grew impatient and reached around her, opening the door.
Bye now. I said, keeping my eyes on her.
Connor ? My head snapped towards the doorway.
There she stood. The girl I couldn’t forgot- the one who had hurt me The girl that I might actually like.
Bella ? I asked in surprise.
Don’t bother hun. Jenna/Lili spat out. He’s only good for a fuck and that’s all.
She stormed past Bella and went into her car, slamming her door extra hard.
I turned my attention back to Bella, her face emotionless.
A good fuck, huh ? She turned to leave. I frowned and grabbed her wrist, turning her around.
What’s wrong with you ? I asked, confused.
You. She hissed out, yanking her arm away. She left in the same manner as Jenna/Lili, and all I could do was stand there in shock.
What the hell just happened ?
Bella’s POV
So many questions were running through my mind as I drove home, tears cascading down my face.
Why was I hurt when I saw that girl with Connor ?
Why did James snap at me ?
Did Connor say something bad about me ?
Why did I think he liked me ?
When did I start liking Connor ?
Did I like Connor ?
Why was I crying ?
