Ansel.
He took her hands in his and stared at her.
"Amy, Say something. Anything, Call me an asshole, you love doing that," She still said nothing,
"Amanda, you're killing me, don't you see it? You are killing me,"
She ignored him.
Damn it. I wanna kiss her so bad right now.
"Ansel, shut up, please. Don't even think about kissing me." She spoke at last.
Shit, Did I say that out loud?
"Yes, you did." She replied, calmly.
"Oh god, Why am I not saying this in my mind?" He looked really worried.
"Can you please leave me alone now?" She asked, looking towards the door.
Ow, that hurt.
"Okay, I'll go for now. But I'll be back again, and if I see you in this bed I'll have to carry you down," He warned her.
She gave him a weak smile, He smiled back.
"Bye." She said.
He rolled his eyes.
"Bye."
He left the room and she took a deep breath.
"God, why is this all making me so damn tired?!" She yelled.
"Did you say something?" He poked his head in the room again.
"Didn't you just leave?"
"No, I was just standing here in case you call me back,"
"You're being an ass-, A jerk,"
"Why didn't you call me an asshole?" He demanded, now stepping inside the room.
"Just leave, I'm tired."
"Nope, no leaving." He walked towards the bed and sat down in front of her again.
"Ansel, If you're here in hopes of getting a yes from me, then you are mistaken. I'm going to stay single, Get it?" She looked dead serious.
He looked down, then looked up at her.
"Can I kiss you?"
"I just told you, I'm not going to say-,"
He covered her mouth with his. Completely shutting her up.
She didn't slap him this time but let him have his way with her.
They pulled away after a couple of minutes.
"I wished that one day I could do this, without any fear of getting slapped,"
She smiled.
"I'm not sorry about that one,"
"I know, I deserved it,"
"You should leave."
He nodded and got up.
"See you?" He asked.
"See you."
Jung.
He sat here, trying hard not to think about her. But it was so damn hard not to.
He looked up at her.
She applied bright red lipstick on her lips and tousled her hair. The color black looked really beautiful on her and he silently agreed to the fact.
"How am I looking?" She asked, Still looking in the mirror.
"You look nice." He replied.
"Just nice?" She turned and looked at him, Her left eyebrow raised.
"I mean, you look beautiful."
"That's better, come on let's go." She held out her hand towards him and he took it.
"You look really hot today," She whispered in his ear and he looked at her.
"I... We should... Come on, let's go." He snatched his hand away from her and left the room as fast as he could.
Her eyes filled with tears, but she managed to keep her smile.
Amanda.
She sat there staring at her phone, Her face expressionless. It was a school night. Three weeks had passed. And no news of Jung.
Ansel had told her that he went back to college, of course. But she had expected that he would call her. Just to say Hi or whatever.
In the present moment, she was scrolling through his Instagram. His last post was three days ago. A picture of him with Hannah. She had bright red lipstick on and looked older than her age, He was smiling but she knew him well enough to understand that he was faking it.
Being single was not treating her well. She was sure she was getting depressed.
She knew that Ansel was awake, probably flirting with a girl, or watching something *Coughs*
Nowadays she only tried to work harder and harder. She was working on her college application essay. She was getting straight A's and she was ignoring Ansel.
Again. It was easy to ignore him than to talk to him.
Harsh. But true.
If I stay like this I'll get more and more depressed.
I should just leave, I'll leave for college and won't come back for four years.
This will give me time to heal and forget everything, and I'll start a new life.
Yes, A new life.

Author's note:
Sorry guys! I'm not writing any interesting stuff, am I?
I do hope that I get back on track again. I think with Jung in the story the story seemed to be just going with the flow. And now with him on aside, I know what I have to do to get it back on track!
I love all my characters, so don't worry. I'll do them justice.
Read, vote and comment and if you have any guesses about the story do tell! I'll love it if you'll be right, it just tells that how committed the reader is!
Stay tuned. More chapters will be coming soon!
Stay cool
