Chapter 2

Sarah's POV

We began to walk to class when Gina called my name.

"Hey, Sarah!"

"Yes?"

"Are you and Ethan dating?"

"Oh, have fun with that question Sarah," Erica commented in a snarky tone. She then began walking away and hollered, "I'm off to get a snack!"

Great-the one thing I really didn't want to discuss about.

"What does she mean, Sarah?"

"Well, the story is very complicated, so this may take a while."

"I'm all ears."

Ten minutes after explaining the situation, Gina smiled.

"What are you so happy about, and why did you ask about Ethan?"

"Don't be mad okay, but I think Ethan is kind of cute. I mean cute in the way he looks at you."

"What do you mean the way he looks at me?"

"Oh Sarah, I think everyone can see he truly cares about you, except yourself. I just got here, and I see his feelings for you are totally clear."

Does Ethan really care for me that much? I mean, he really is the only guy I've ever met who never forces me into things and likes me for me. I quickly abandoned the very thought of Ethan's liking me. I know he asked me out on a date, but it was just a friendly dinner; it wasn't a real date, right? I had to get off the subject, so I asked Gina a question I truly regretted.

"Do you want to ask Ethan out, Gina?"

She shrugged. "Well, yeah, but only if it's okay with you Sarah."

"Gina, we can't be together anyway. Besides, Ethan is just a good friend."

I was truly dying inside, but I could never admit that I developed feelings for Ethan.

"Alright, I guess I'll ask him at the end of class. Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Lets just get to class."

The day went by a lot faster than I thought it would, too fast. Soon Gina would ask Ethan out and I'd get the pleasure of watching.

Gina and I walked down the hall and caught up with Ethan and Benny.

"Hey guys!" Gina said happily.

"Hi!" Ethan and Benny said in unison.

"Hey, Ethan, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, ask away."

"I know we just met, but would you like to go to the movies sometime?"

Ethan made a quick glance at me and hesitated to answer.

"Umm...sure."

"Great! See you at eight."

With that, Gina dashed down the hall to leave school. Then Ethan turned to me with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Dude, a girl finally asked you out!" Benny exclaimed.

"Yup." He looked a little disappointed. "Hey Sarah, are you still babysitting tonight?"

"What? Oh, yeah."

"Good. Well I guess we should all be getting home now."

We then all walked to Ethan's house and decided to watch a movie until Ethan had to go.

Eight o'clock came so quickly that it seemed like we only got to Ethan's house ten minutes ago. The doorbell rang, and Ethan got up to open the door for Gina.

"Hi Ethan," Gina said.

"Hi Gina."

"You ready to go?"

"Yup."

They soon left and then Benny and I decided to invite Erica, Rory, and Evelyn over to get Intel on Ethan's date. They all arrived within a few minutes and we all waited for Ethan's return.

The anxiety was killing me! Where they going to kiss? Would Ethan enjoy it? He better not. Wait, why was I even thinking about this? I don't like Ethan, but I can't help feeling so...jealous and annoyed about his date.
