Chapter 17:
"It's 11:30 at night,
And you're in your bed nice and tight,
Maybe you're dreaming of me…"
(Cody's pov)
I splashed water on my face and pulled a towel from the rack. I dried my face and looked up at my reflection in the mirror. I was so glad that _ accepted my apology. I shook my head and ran my fingers through my hair. I don't know what happened earlier.
I was waiting by the fountain, it was so beautiful, just like _, I wanted to surprise her with a visit. I know it was supposed to be a girl's day for her, but I couldn't wait until later to see her.
Anyways, right when I saw her coming towards my direction, Kylie jumped into my view. "Hi, Cody!" she cheerfully said.
"Hi, Kylie. I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now. I'm gonna surprise _." Replaying those words in my head, I laughed. It was ironic how big of a surprise it really was.
"Why? Can't it just wait?" I could tell Kylie was starting to get worked up.
"Kylie, I know you might still have feelings for me, but _ is the one. At least right now, everything about her feels right. I just don't feel the same way about you if this is what you want. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go surprise _."
Kylie's eyes flicked over to _'s direction. "Surprise her with this!" Then she kissed me.
I heard her. Her scream was filled with horror at my betrayal. I pushed Kylie away and ran towards _. It felt terrible when I lost her in the crowd, like at that moment, I was going to lose her forever.
My head was in my hands. What would have happened if _ rejected me? No. I don't even want to think about that. "I can't lose her," I said to my reflection. "I will never mess up having her in my life. I think she's the best girl I've ever met." It hit me. I know what I'm going to do to make it all up to her.
