Teenage Dirtbag
THAT SUMMER
JULY
I was walking down the street, hand in hand with Luke.
“How come you never told me you were crushing on me?”
he asked me.
“The same reason you didn’t tell me,” he
responded.
“Ashton would’ve killed us,” we said in unison,
laughing.
We continued down the street, talking. Even though we were
together, we were still best friends. I heard the sound of a
basketball hitting the pavement from a few feet away, and a bunch
of guys laughing.
“Is that Niall?” I asked.
“That dorky kid you were working with at the end of the
school year?” Luke asked.
“Yeah,” I responded. “He’s with Harry.
And Liam, Lou, and Zayn. I think the girls are there
too.”
“When’s the last time you saw them?” Luke
asked.
“I haven’t seen Niall in forever, but the other girls
and guys hate me,” I said.
“Was that why you were crying on the last day of
school?” Luke asked.
“Maybe,” I said quietly and he let go of my hand,
putting his arm around me.
“Chloe?” an Irish accent rung out.
“Why are you talking to her?” Harry laughed.
“She’s such a dork.”
“Bug off, Styles,” Luke said, pulling me closer to
his side.
“Oh, does Chlo have herself a little boyfriend? Little as
in 16 like her!” Harry laughed.
“Knock it off, Hazzah,” Niall said. “So what
she’s 16?”
“Since when do you hang out with them?” I asked
Niall.
He laughed and shrugged.
“Is it hot out here boys?” he asked.
All five boys took their shirts off and I rolled my eyes.
“He’s matured,” Kyra said, holding on to
Niall’s arm.
“Says the one who was trying to talk me out of hanging out
with him,” I said and she rolled her eyes.
“Come on,” Luke said to me. “Let’s
go.”
We started to walk down the street when someone touched my
shoulder.
“What?” I asked, turning around.
It was Niall.
“Can I talk to her for a second?” he asked Luke.
Luke looked at me and I nodded. Niall pulled me over to the
side.
“Listen I’m sorry okay?” he said. “But
I’m popular now. Everyone loves me.”
“I trusted you,” I said. “I was the only one
who talked to you. I was nice to you, and you ditched me. You
threw me under the bus, man. That’s just cruel.”
I ran back to Luke, little tears peeking out of my eyes.
“Sweetheart,” he said, wrapping me up and kissing my
forehead. “What’d he do?”
“It was months ago,” I sniffled. “Come on,
let’s go home.”
