Chapter 2

After the kiss ended Chloe looked up in Larry's eyes. All she saw was a bunch of mixed emotions. "Larry.."Chloe said in a soft voice as Larry stood up. Why was he getting up? Did I mean nothing to him? Chloe thought to her self. "I. I got to go," Larry said quickly and hurried off. Chloe watched as his figure disappeared in the crowded mall. Chloe was about to cry, here she had shown Larry her true feelings and was rejected in the worst way. Looks like her day did actually get worse. Chloe stood up and decided to call her mom to have a ride home. *At home * Chloe walked up to her room and locked the door. She didn't Riley to come in and ask her what was wrong. Riley had some way of getting a secret out of anyone. She would probably laugh in Chloe face. Just then she heard Riley's voice calling from the bottom of the stairs. "Phone!" Riley screamed. "Ok!" Chloe called as she picked up the phone by the bed. So badly did she wish it wasn't Larry. She was already embarrassed by what she had done. Why had she kissed him she knew he didn't feel the same way? "Hello." Chloe said in her quiet, soft, and weak voice. "Chloe. Hi it's Larry," he said in a distant way liked he was staring off in space. "Hi," Chloe didn't know what to expect about this conversation. Was he just going to pretend nothing happened? Chloe thought. "I wanted to talk about the kiss," Larry even seemed embarrassed even talking about. " What about it?" Chloe asked "Why did you do it?" he asked as he twirled the phone cord around his finger. "Because. I'm in love with you; I have been ever since you moved in. Couldn't you tell?" She explained. "I.I never knew," he replied he sounded like he was in shock by her response. "Yeah well, Now you know," she said you could tell there was hurt in her voice and she felt she could cry at any moment. She wished she could take back the kiss. What caused her to do it any way? She knew he would never feel the same about her. "We'll I just wanted to tell you that; I'm sorry I walked out on you but I was just in shock that you kissed me cause I had always had a little crush on you to but didn't think you would ever like me so I tried to go after Riley," Larry rambled. Chloe knew he always did that when he was nervous. "Did you just say you liked me?" Chloe asked. Had she thought wrong? Was Larry actually saying this? "Well.Yeah," he said quickly.
