CHAPTER: 2
Chloe's POV
Derek and I, who were sitting together at the back of the bus, Tori, who was chatting to her boyfriend in the seat beside us, and Simon, who sat alone at the very front of the bus, finally made it to my house. We all clambered off and once we got to the front door, and I found my keys to get in, Tori broke the silence, "Finally! We finally got off that freakin' bus! We had to ride for, like, forty minutes! Chloe, where the heck do you freakin' live? You live in-." "Um… Tori? I live right here. Like, we're at my house." I say, referring to her question, 'where the heck do you freakin' live?' Everybody laughs. "I know you live here, dumbo." She says. Nobody says anything as we make our way inside. "Can someone turn on the lights? It's dark in here! Where's the-?" "Shut up all ready, Tori!" Derek cut off Tori. I fumble for the light switch and find it. I flip the lights on and the room immediately lights up. Everybody takes in the sight of my living room. Derek and Simon slowly take off their backpacks and sets them on the floor, while Tori, on the other hand, throws her book bag on the floor, pulls her shoes off and plops down on the couch and turns the TV on. "You'd think she's at her own house." Derek mutters under his breath. I silently agree with him. Derek and Simon pull off their shoes and just stand there. "Um…" I start. "Oh, my God! I forgot! Oh, God Derek! We were supposed to stay at school, remember? For my punishment for fighting? We are going to be in so much trouble Derek!" I say finally remembering that I was to have extra homework and that Derek was supposed to stay and help. Derek's eyes widen and he says, "Oh, God! That's right, I remember now! Well, maybe they'll let us do it tomorrow. You think?" I shrug. "Okay, well, we have to do regular homework so, let's start." I say, and go get my book bag. Derek and Simon agree with me. "Tori! Come on, we need to do this homework." I call to her. "No!" She groans. "We can do it in my room." I counter. "Fine." She says, and rolls off the couch. "We'll be upstairs, so if you need us, we'll be up here." I say and head up the stairs to find Tori, because she's yelling something about 'where's your room!?' Oh, geez.
Derek's POV
Simon and I watch as Tori and Chloe walk up the stairs. I pause a minute when I hear a muffled yell about 'where's your room, Chloe?' Tori probably. "So… Do you want to do homework, or do you want to listen to the girls' conversation? If Chloe likes you, Tori's bound to ask her about it." Simon asks me. Well, I guess we're friends again. I nod, "Sure, let's go listen to them." Simon and I quietly climb the stairs and walk towards the door with light coming from the bottom of the door. We stop in front of it and listen. "Okay… We have English homework, Math homework. Uh… Well, I'm going to start on English homework, what about you, Tori?" Chloe asks Tori. "Uh… Sure. Let's start on that. Chloe, do you like Derek?" Tori asks, kind of out of the blue, if you ask me. Chloe seems kind of startled by the question because she answers, "Um… Why do you ask?" "You do, don't you?" Tori's voice seems smug. "No! I don't!" Chloe yells, probably a little too quickly. "Yes, you do." Tori says. "Fine. I do like him. A lot. But, it doesn't matter because he doesn't like me." Chloe says. She said it. She said she likes me. Now, I finally have cold, hard evidence that she does like me. "Chloe Saunders! What do you think you're saying! Derek likes you. A lot. Have you seen the way he acts around you? How can you say he doesn't like you, when Simon told me he told you Derek likes you?" Tori says, basically exploding. Boom, there it goes. "I don't know, Tori! Because I don't know if Simon is telling the truth." Chloe says. My mouth drops. She has got to be kidding me. If anybody is honest about relationship-type stuff, it's Simon Bae. I hear Tori sigh, "Fine. Believe what you want. But, he likes you. I know he does." I hear footsteps near the door and the handle twists and I say to Simon, "Oh, crap! Come on! We have to go downstairs!" He nods and we book it downstairs. We get out our homework and start scribbling on it in random places to make it look like we've been working. Here they come.
Chloe's POV
Tori and I make our way downstairs to check on the boys. When we get down there, they look like they've been working on it. "Hey." I say softly. They look up in acknowledgement. Simon smiles, while Derek just stares at me. "Do you guys want to do something? Like, other than homework?" I say. "Oh, oh! We should play truth or dare. Yeah, let's play that." Tori yells. I nod, Simon nods and Derek shrugs. We walk into the living room and sit down in a circle. I'm so screwed. Tori's going to ask me if I like Derek and then that would just be embarrassing! "I want to go first." Simon says. I nod, "Okay. Simon, truth or dare?" I ask. "Dare." He says. "Okay. I dare you to tell us how many girlfriends you've had this year." I say. He gives a dirty sidelong glance to Tori. She just shrugs and smiles, and then winks at me. "Um… Three. I think." Simon answers. Wow. Not as many as I thought. "My turn. Okay, Derek. Truth or Dare?" Simon says. Derek gulps, "Dare." Simon smiles, "I dare you to tell us who you like. I know you like someone, so don't try to pull the 'I don't like anyone' crap." He sighs, "Fine. I like… Um… Do I have to tell?" Simon nods. "Fine. I like… Chloe." He says in a small voice. He does like me. He really does! I look at Tori and she winks. Simon smiles, "I thought so." "Okay, Simon, my turn. Truth or Dare?" Derek says. "Dare." Simon says. "Okay. I dare you tell us who you like." Derek says. Simon shrugs, "Okay. I like… Chloe too." Derek goes wide-eyed and Tori murmurs, "Oh, snap." Derek and Simon both give her dirty looks. Simon nods slowly and says, "Yeah, okay. I'm going to go do my homework." And he gets up and walks away. This is not good. Derek nods too, and gets up and walks away. That leaves Tori and I. We just sit there and Tori says, "Want to watch TV?" I nod and we sit down and watch SpongeBob Squarepants. So mature.
Simon's POV
I can't believe what I'm about to do. But I want Chloe to know just how much I love her. Derek is going to kill me, and I know I said that I'd let Derek have Chloe, but I want Chloe to decide. Maybe she'll choose me instead. I still can't believe what I'm about to do. I just can't. Will she be happy, or will she smack me? I don't know, but, time to do it.
Chloe's POV
Simon comes into the living room and says, "Chloe, will you come with me to the backyard? I want to talk to you." Tori and I share a glance but I say, "Sure. Come on." We walk onto the back porch and Simon says, "Chloe. I like you. A lot. I think I love you. I want you to know that." Oh, God. "Simon… I'm not sure I feel like th-." Simon mashed his lips to mine. I'm being kissed by Simon Bae. But, I don't like him in that way! My. First. Kiss. Simon breaks apart and leans back in, thinking that I'm encouraging him, when I'm clearly not, when Derek leans out the door and shrieks, "Simon!" Oh, crap.
