Chapter 3
Didn't wanna leave you with the wrong impression
Didn't wanna leave you with my last confession, yeah.
WRONG IMPRESSION - NATALIE IMBRUGLIA
I saw Sam and Amy at the end of the corridor. I nudged Matt and we started walking towards them. "Amy!" Matt shouted, "You and me - photo shoot!" "Okay. Um, Jeff take Samantha to Dwayne's locker room would ya?" I nodded and walked further towards Sam. Amy and Matt went in the opposite direction, so we were left to walk in silence. *Say something! Apologise!* I stopped and turned to her but she carried on walking. I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back. "About last night," I started. "Yeah?" "I'm sorry." "Sorry?!" she exclaimed, "What for? Jesus, Jeff! It was a kiss!" "I know, but..." "But what? Look, you have nothing to be sorry for. You kissed me, sure I wanted to kiss you back but hey, I guess you changed your mind about it." And with that, she started to walk away. I called on her and ran up beside her. "You ain't annoyed at me for last night?" I asked. "No, why would I be?" She looked up at me and waited for me to reply. *God, you're beautiful.* I wished I had the guts to say that out loud but I couldn't. I shrugged, "I dunno. I thought you didn't like me and I was scared in case you were gonna laugh in my face. That's why I held back." She smiled at me, a sweet little smile. "I wasn't about to laugh at you and you thought wrong, I do like you." I felt my heart skip a beat when she said that. We came to Dwayne's locker room and we stopped. "We're here," I announced. "Yep," she said, nodding her pretty little head. "So, um...d'you wanna go back to the bar tonight?" then as an afterthought I added, "Matt and Amy'll be there too." "Just so long as you don't run out on me again," she said grinning. "I promise." "Okay," she agreed, "I'll come by your locker room when I'm ready." "Cool. See ya then," I said. "Yeah see ya." She kissed my cheek and I felt my face go red as she went into Dwayne's locker room. I went to my own locker room, smiling stupidly the whole time.
