Chereads / WHEN LOVE STRUCK / Chapter 18 - That isn’t it.

Chapter 18 - That isn’t it.

Your palms are so soft, Calvin praised.

My cheeks suddenly flushed and it turned as red as a rose.

Where are you taking me I asked, my voice had suddenly become lighter, and more high pitched.

"There's this great taco tower at the other end of the room, we should go try it out." He offered.

"Oh, I would like that". I said.

I felt the exact same way I would feel around Jason.

We brushed through a lot of people, and I finally caught sight of the taco tower,

"O my God, it's huge ," I said unable hide my surprise.

I watched him as he served a plate of taco for both him and I, he took a small plastic plate and arrange like thus, paper towel, then the taco.

"Here you go" he handed mine to me.

"Thank you" it looked nice and my mouth already watered, I took a piece but tried to look cute while eating out of it.

"Hmmm, it tastes so gooood". I said with my mouth full,

He laughed.

"What"? I asked. Was he laughing at me or with me?.

" you have a little something right here, pointing at his own face so I'd know were it was.

"Oh".

I was embarrassed, I wiped it off with a paper towel.

"Thanks for this"

"It's okay, do you wanna get out of here?. he suggested.

This was it, we were ditching the party, this was a major twist in every romantic comedy ever, the main cast both ditch the party and end up having heartfelt conversations, finally realizing how similar they were to begin with.

"Ahhh" I sighed.

But it was all happening way too fast.

"Sure" we could take a walk around I haven't had a chance to tour the gardens yet".

He nod and smiled.

We ended up talking for hours and I found out about his birth mark that looked like Ryan Reynolds's, I couldn't believe at first until I saw it, and it indeed look like reynolds.

I laughed at how silly he danced and how everytime he laugh he'd let out a little snort.

He told me he had a gift for me, then he took me to his car, and brought out some boxes.

"What are those?" I asked.

"Cupcakes and donuts, I knew you'd like some, they way you looked at them earlier so I decided to get you some".

"Oh no, I can't possibly take this"

"Sure you can, think of it has a little gift" he persuaded.

"Thanks Calvin".

"Wow! You are so pretty".

Here we go again my cheeks sold me out, I was turning red.

He chuckled. " is that a blush I see"?.

"No" I lied.

"It's just cold outside, so I'm all flustered".

He dropped the boxes and He suddenly got closer.

He tilted my head up.

"I wanna kiss you right now".

Woah, kiss? Right now? My brain was running in circles unable to help me out when I needed it the most.

Before I could give a reply Calvin kissed me.

My eyes were wide opened unable to grasp what was going on.

But his kisses were clean, and soft.

I closed my eyes and kissed him back, it wouldn't hurt I just needed to go with the flow.

KYLE!

The name just breezed past my head.

"What was that?"

I stopped kissing him.

What's wrong? He asked.

I smiled. "Nothing, let's go inside, it's a bit chilly and I didn't bring my coat".

"Sure"

he helped me with the boxed and we both went in.

Why did I think of kyle back there? I asked myself.

****

I don't understand, we were fine this morning, he kissed me, why was he acting strange?

Like I shit my pants or something.

Like he was embarrassed of me, angry maybe.

I thought, has I watched him eating across our table. He stared at his phone and ate slowly.

"Kyle"?

"Hmm" he answered not looking up. I hate it when he did things like this.

"Are you upset with me?"

"I dunno Willow, should I be?"

What was that?

"You've been giving me serious attitude, we were fine this morning, what happened? Did I do something wrong.

I felt his harsh stare, you know the ones he's been giving me through out the whole day, it's crazy.

I watched him stand up to leave, he barely touched his lunch.

Urggg.

I have never met anyone so petty and hard to understand.

I breathed out.

I need to calm down.

If he wasn't gonna talk to me, I wouldn't talk to him either.

I angrily took my bag and waltz out of the cafeteria.

I looked at my reflection in the bathroom.

I wanted to scream.

I wanted scream so bad, yell kyle's name and swear.

But I couldn't.

Just wish he'd tell me what I did wrong, a little closure would be nice.

"Aww look who we have here"

I sighed and rolled my eyes, the last thing I wanted right now was a show down with little miss not being able to take a fucking hint.

"What do you want mim"? I asked annoyed.

"What? Trouble In paradise?" She mocked.

I knew it wouldn't last. One of her minions added.

She was irrelevant so I ignored her.

"It seems your getting obsessed with me these days mim, your literally want to be everywhere I'm at, you are my number one fan".

"Urg as if, i told you he'd get tired of you, and I was right, I'm always right, what ever he's doing now is just the beginning trust me."

" I don't need advice from you, I'm the one with the man, not you, he's mine now, and you are being pathetic".

I applied lip gloss to my lip and stared at her.

What was her deal, she's was literally acting like a total pick me girl.

"Move" I pushed past them and walked out of the bathroom.

Like I wasn't having a bad day already she's just everywhere, she's too much.

But phew, my heart was beating so fast back there, I said as I held my chest. I thought I was gonna embarrass myself or something.

I need to find Kyle, if mim could figure out something's wrong the whole school might be gossiping aswell what if they catch on that we aren't actually a couple.

I was panicking, then I heard the bell ring.

RING!!.

I had Ap English right now and I don't want to be late for class, so I decided to wait till school was over before I confronted him.

The last bell announced that school was over, I rushed out of my class, he was probably having woodwork, I had his schedule so I ran to the direction of his class.

Excuse me.

Kyle!? I called out loud enough, so I knew he definitely heard me.

He walked out of his class, the hall way was crowded and I couldn't get to him, but I kept on calling out his name but he wouldn't respond,

I was out of breath but I was also determined to catch up with him.

A group of friends walked past me and one accidentally hit my left arm causing me to loose my grip on my textbooks which landed on the floor.

"Sorry" they said not even looking back.

"Fucking dumass" I was fuming and before I could pick up my books and carry on my pursuit Kyle was no where to be seen.

I ran out the school building, and I saw his car drive out the school gate,

Kyle!!!.

I can't believe this..

So there I was struggling like my life depended on it because it did, I pushed and shoved so I could get in before the door closed.

I had no choice, I had to take the subway, it was free plus I had no money on me.

I can't believe Kyle left me in school when he's very well aware that I depend on his dumb ass for commute.

I looked around and they were tones of disgusting sights around me,

The subway wasn't a place for any 17 year old to be in, it was really eerie.

I held the handle as I stood, people were hurdling up around me, and one guy kept staring at me, he looked unkept matter of fact he looked like a meth addict like someone who could kidnap me and sell me off to sex traders.

I blame Kyle.

I blamed him for letting me ride in the subway, I was uncomfortable and everything smelled, it was either the people or the train itself.

The train finally stopped at my destination, I couldn't wait to get down. I still had a long trek ahead of me but I was determined, my hate and anger would be my fuel as i journeyed.

I was panting, sweating like a dog.

I needed hydration and fast.

I walked in the gates and stormed in the big doors.

I was heading straight to his room when I saw a shadowy figure in the waiting room sitting,

Was he waiting for me? He never sat here.

So he did leave me on purpose?

"Jerk what's your deal? I had to walk 7 blocks just to get here and I took the subway the freaking subway".I yelled and vented out my anger and frustration.

"You are here aren't you?
