Chapter 15
Avery's POV
I've been avoiding Troy for a while now. I just don't
know how to deal with my feelings for him.
Today he finally confronted me. During english class, since we
had a sub, he talked to me.
"What's going on with you? We were hanging out and
having fun, and now you're completely ignoring me."
"I've just been really busy with school and stuff."
I lied, hoping he would but it.
"Save it. You and I both know you don't care about
school. Tell me the truth." he demanded.
"You want the truth? Fine. I like you Troy. And I don't
know what to do about it." I confessed.
"Well, I didn't expect that." he said, leaning back
in his chair and sighing.
"You like me, I like you. Where does this leave us?" he
asked, looking at me expectantly.
"I honestly don't know. I've never thought of you
this way, but lately it's all I can think about." I
said.
"Are you just playing me? Because that would be cruel."
he responded.
"Well, it started off like that. But then I realized that I
actually liked you. So no. Not anymore." I
replied.
The bell rang then, and I was glad for an escape from that
conversation. I knew it wasn't finished, but I didn't
want to talk to Troy anymore today. My head was starting to hurt,
and I couldn't deal with this anymore.
I called Ethan later that night, and he arrived at my house
fifteen minutes after I called him with Chinese food.
"You stopped and got takeout on your way? That was really
fast." I said, digging in.
"No, my parents left me in charge of dinner tonight, but I
figured you could use some food." he said.
"So you really like Troy. This is kind of ironic." he
said, finding it amusing.
"I don't know Eth. What am I supposed to do about it?
We're not soul mates or anything." I told him.
"You give him a chance. You like him, he likes you. It would
be pointless if you guys didn't date."
"Let's go." I said, standing up and putting on my
converse.
"What? Where?" he asked, following my lead.
"Just grab your keys and drive me to Troy's." I
said, feeling confident. Ethan did as I said, and shortly after,
we were sitting in Troy's driveway. Suddenly I didn't
feel confident anymore.
"What are you gonna do?" Ethan asked, his eyes on
me.
"I'm gonna go ask Troy Stevens to be my boyfriend."
I replied, trying to build up the courage.
Once I felt strong enough, I got out of the car and walked up the
front steps. I rang the doorbell, and his mother answered the
door. She looked suprised, then happy to see me.
"Hello Avery. Troy is upstairs in his bedroom. Could you let
him know that I'm leaving?" she asked.
"Of course Mrs. Stevens. Have a good night." I said,
running up the stairs to Troy's room.
I didn't even knock when I got to the end of the hall. I just
walked in his room.
He must not have heard me, because he didn't say hi or
anything. His back was turned towards me, and he was looking at a
number on his phone. It was my number. His thumb hovered over the
'call' button, but he couldn't bring himself to press
it. That was kind of cute, how shy he was.
"Hey." I said, obviously catching him off guard. He
rolled right off his bead and bumped his head on the
floor.
"Are you okay?" I asked, laughing a little as I went to
help him up.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, rubbing the top of
his head, and I just smiled at him.
"Troy, will you be my boyfriend?" I asked, suprised by
how sure of myself I sounded.
"Took you long enough to ask." he said, walking over to
my and placing his lips on mine.
That moment was perfect. It could never be tainted for me. I
would always remember it, even if things with us fizzled out.
That memory never would. Things happened so quickly, and I
didn't even mind.
I didn't expect to date Troy Stevens, ever. Yet here I was,
his ner girlfriend.
And I loved it.
So I know this story went kinda fast, but I'm going to start
another one soon(: I'll post one more chapter, which will
probably be graduation, and then the epilogue!! Then a new story,
which WILL be a 1D fanfic(;
