I breathed heavily trying to catch my breath, his scent continued to hover around me. I wanted to say it's okay just to be polite but I couldn't, it wasn't okay. Did he just try to seduce me on my doorstep?! How could he?! Urgh I can't believe I let him touch me.
"Get out." I said in a low whisper that I could barely hear myself.
"Are you okay?" He asked sounding concerned but I couldn't care less. I knew that by Monday he won't even spare a glance at me so of what use was it to let myself go only to get hurt again.
"I said Get out!!" I yelled loud enough for even the whole neighbourhood to hear.
He nodded the walked slowly down the road looking dejected like he was the victim here, what the heck was up with that.
I locked the door and ran up to room, lay down on my bed trying to shake off what just happened.
I hate Chris
I hate Chris
I freaking hate Chris
It was annoying how he could make me feel so many emotions. It was annoying that he'd insult me if I ever talk to him about it. It made no sense how he could have two different heights. It made no freaking sense how he could look like himself yet look so different. Urgh this made no freaking sense.
I felt like yelling until I could hear my voice no more. I pulled frantically at my hair like it was the cause of my problems. I needed my laptop, I needed to browse those things, the internet had answers to all right? Urgh this sucks.
I kept telling myself to forget what just happened that what happened was just another one of Chris' pranks but I couldn't. Why? Why?! Hell that's what it freaking felt like. I shut my eyes begging sleep to come but it didn't. I raised my pillow to put it over my head then I noticed a white piece of paper. I know I didn't keep that there, I was pretty sure I didn't so who did? I picked up the paper and looked at it for a while them I unfolded it to see what it was.
Hi Bella,
I wish you could see me the way I see you.
I won't write some long corny poem about my love for you but I just want you to know that I really love you a lot.
Don't get freaked out by the fact that I said love when we don't really know each other.
It's not Chris or his drunk state either (which by the way it's really funny you believe that).
I am just a guy that really likes you.
"Okay." I breathed out after reading this weird confession of love from a guy I don't know or maybe I do know him. With the letter in mind I finally fell asleep.

It's Wednesday and everything seems to be normal, I was ungrounded on Monday, got my gadgets and car keys back and I also have to pick George from school each day which wasn't so bad since we didn't try to make any conversation on our way home. I didn't tell anyone about the note or about Chris attitude that day, I might have told Talia if she was here but I wasn't too sure of Maurice's stand in our friendship. I tried my best not to cross path with Chris, his friends or Rose and her entourage. It wasn't too hard since I didn't have any classes with any of them.
"Hey Bel." Maurice called as she stepped in line with me while I was walking down the hallway. For some reason she decided that my name was too long and she'd call me Bel which irritated me cause it reminded me of when George and I still got along. Don't get me wrong, those memories were perfect but the present ones weren't so good.
"Hi Mau." Don't judge, if she's to shorten my name why couldn't I do the same. Although 'Mau' sounded a bit weird.
Our classes for the day had ended so we were going home.Well I was going to pick George from school, which had been closed since 2pm, an hour and thirty minutes ago.
"Could you drop me at home today?" Maurice asked. "My car got spoilt." She explained.
"Alright." I nodded. Maurice's place was on the way to George's school so it was convenient for me to drop her off.
She smiled and nodded in appreciation then got into the car.
"You know..." Maurice began speaking, breaking the silence in the car. "It's quite obvious that your avoiding Chris."
I turned to look at her for a sec, she wasn't looking my way but I felt like she knew I was looking at her.
"Chris and I aren't friends." That was the summary of it all, she didn't need to know what happened Saturday night.
She nodded all the while looking out the window like she was expecting something or someone to pass by.
I tried to keep my eyes on the road to avoid any accidents. The sun was still shining bright but I was getting really creeped up. I didn't know what the feeling was but it felt like something bad was about to happen.
"Could you pull over at the next shop?" Maurice asked suddenly. "I need to get some stuffs." She said.
I nodded then stopped the car beside the shop and waited for her as she went into the flower shop. She came out some minutes later with a filled up paper bag with green leaves poking out of it. She climbed back into the car and sat still.
"You can keep going," She said. "My house is just down the road." The scent of mint filled the car as I turned on the Air conditioner, I had just realised that the leaves were mint leaves, it made it almost impossible to get a scent of the air freshener in the car.
"What do you need those for?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I love the scent." She shrugged, she was still looking out the window as I drove. "There, that's my house." She said, pointing at a house in front of us.
This wasn't a house, house was the understatement of the century for this mansion. I knew my family was pretty rich and all that but this was way over the top.
"Your house?" I asked.
"Well my family's house but yeah I live here so..." She shrugged. I nodded and stopped the car.
"Thanks Bel." She said and went in.
I was still in awe from the beauty of the mansion so I looked at it for like five minutes more before starting the engine. I was just about to step on the accelerator when Maurice tapped on my window looking back at the house like she was being hunted or chased by someone or something.
