Chapter Seven: And You Will Think
Angela
I wanted a phone so badly at that moment, to like call someone so that I wouldn't have to be here with Jordan. I'm not even sure if he kissed her but … I was starting to feel insecure again. Maybe I did something wrong, misread the signs or something. Maybe Jordan just wanted to be friends with me.
"Hey." I turned around to a male voice, hoping that it was Jordan coming to explain what had happened. "I like saw what happened."
"Brian, what are you like doing here?" I wondered, quickly wiping my tears away.
"I was invited." He replied, walking closer to me.
"Oh." Ever since he wrote those letters … I couldn't look at him the same way, even though he continued to deny ever writing them.
"I can like take you home if you want." Brian offered, sitting on the step beside me.
"Yeah, a nice long walks sounds good about now." I mumbled sarcastically.
"Actually … I like borrowed my parents now. License." Brian smiled as if it were a bid deal, dangling the keys in front of my face.
"Oh." I repeated turning back around and rehashing the scene with Jordan and that girl. Maybe he didn't even kiss her. Maybe I was just imagining things. Either way, I was beginning to hate this girl, who I barely even knew just because … she was closer to Jordan than I was right now. He might've even loved her like he never did me.
"We could … go back in there." Brian suggested, noticing that I was strangely quiet.
"Why, so I could like feel so much worse by looking at him?"
"No. You could pretend like nothing happened … cause it didn't … you don't even like have to look at Jordan." Brian continued trying to make me feel better.
"So, what? Should like hang out with you?" I almost laughed at the thought. Brian actually thought I was friends with him or something.
Brian looked down embarrassed as if he had just been reading my thoughts.
"Oh, you were like serious?" I wondered, feeling awful. Brian nodded as I reluctantly followed him back into the house. "Do you like want to dance?" I asked after a while of just standing and watching everyone else have fun.
"No." Brian answered sharply. "I mean, not with you."
"Oh." I sat back watching everyone else have fun. Even Brian got up and danced … with the same girl Jordan had been with earlier. I looked around for him, but he had already found me. We stared at each other for what seemed like an hour and I thought he would come over. I almost wanted him to. But then, he turned around and walked out. Just like he always does.
