CHAPTER 7

MEREDITHS POV

*two months later*

I walk to class and Brian comes up to me.

"Hey mere!"

"hey bri"

"how are you?" I ask him.

"good, i'm good" he says.

Ever since the day I told him i'd help I did. He has stopped self harming and now he's enjoying life. He smiles everyday. He still has to deal with the bullies but he doesn't mind much anymore.

I met his parents over the past two months. They are really nice people.

Also we are only friends… everytime I went over or he came over I just wanted to grab his face and kiss him. But I didn't. So now i'm pretty sure i'm friend zoned.

I sigh.

"something wrong mere?" he asks.

"no, everything's fine" I smile.

"so I heard there's a new profesor to this class" he says.

"yep, I wonder who he is…" I say.

"heeeeeeey!" I turn around and it's Lauren. She catches up to us. She eyes Brian which makes me hit her.

"excuse us" I say to Brian. We run up ahead.

"don't look at him like that!"

"ok sorry but hes hot!" she says and laughs. "Why havent you asked him out yet?"

"well I want him to ask me out first!" I say.

"you're going to loose him, ive seen a lot of girls try to- you know" she says.

"like who?" I ask.

"like a lot girl, i'm serious" she says.

I walk down back to him.

"so listen bri uhhh i-"

"wait hold on ive got a call" he picks up. "hello… uh hi Ali…uh no… not really… sounds fantastic… ok bye" he hungs up. "ali just asked me out…" he says smiling.

"g-great!" I say.

I go to the bathroom and wipe some tears away that brian didn't notice.

"mere what's wrong" I turn around and it's Jaime.

"brian got asked out by ali" I say and another tear comes down.

"you can still get him"

"h-how?" I ask.

"I don't know but make sure he makes a move do something to make him and then bam you'll get him he will call off the date and you're together"

"are you sure that will work?"I ask.

"mhmm do it" she says.

I thank her and leave. She's right. I WANT Brian I NEED him… so I have to fight for him…
