Just That Girl Chapter Ten
A/N: soo yeah. It took me a few tries to get this right.
Odd's P.O.V
I walked aimlessly around the campus checking out the cute girls. My mind kept comparing them to a certain girl with green eyes and pink hair, but they didn't measure up.
I was really head over heels for Aelita. Although she was with Jeremy. As long as she was happy I was happy. That didn't stop my heart from hurting though. Or from beating like a drum when she was around.
"Hey handsome."
I turned towards the familiar voice.
"Sam?"
Walking closer I studied the girl. She was still pretty as ever. Same mocha skin and dark hair with red streaks. Same pretty brown eyes.
"In the flesh. Did you miss me?" She smirked as she gave me a hug.
I looked down at her smiling. "Of course I did. What are you doing here?"
"Well I heard tonight was your prom. And I also heard that you didn't have a date. So I thought why not stop by."
Yep same Sam.
"Wow. I just can't believe it's you. I haven't seen you in forever."
"So how about we catch up at your prom?"
My stomach dropped at the thought of that. Although I did want to take Sam to prom, I don't think I could take seeing Aelita and Jeremy together tonight. Prom is a big deal unlike the regular dances.
"Prom isn't really our thing. How about we go get some dinner instead?" I suggested.
"You don't want to go to prom?" She asked curiously.
"Not really in the prom mood tonight." I shrugged. "Come on. You can pick the restaurant."
"What's wrong Odd?" She asked softly.
"Nothing. Why would you think that?" Forcing a laugh I asked.
"You're not like you. You're not cracking any jokes or being your usually funny self. Is this about that girl? With the pink hair?"
"Aelita's my cousin Sam. Don't be ridiculous." I tried to avoid the subject.
"Either you're a liar or you have some serious incest issues going on. And since I know you so well I'm going to say you're lying. You can't even look me in the eyes."
"I, it's complicated Sam." I replied looking down.
"Not if you just be honest it isn't." She shrugged. "Go find her."
"I can't-"
"Stop saying you can't. Go find Aelita and tell her how you feel. No matter who's around or whatever. Be a man Odd. You love that girl and you need to tell her."
"This isn't fair to you though Sam."
"This isn't about me. This is about you being happy. And Aelita does that." She shooed me towards the gym.
"Okay. Thanks Sam. Wait!"
"Yeah?" She turned around to face me.
"How did you know about prom and me not having a date?"
"I ran into Lexington at the mall today. We went to Kingston together." She shrugged.
"Oh okay." I nodded before walking into the gym.
I took a deep breath and looked around the dance floors and the many couples.
I spotted Aelita and Jeremy standing by the punch bowl.
"Hi you two." I greeted.
"Hey Odd." Aelita smiled brightly. "Where's your tux and date?"
"Um I don't have a date nor a tux. I need to talk to you. Alone."
"Sorry Odd. But Aelita's my date and this night is about us." Jeremy butted in.
Aelita looked from him to me. Before I could think about leaving I thought about what Sam said.
"Well I'll just say it in front of you then Jer. Aelita I love you, okay? And I've tried to ignore the feelings but they just won't go away. I tried to convince myself that you're better off with Jeremy, but it's clear you're not happy with him. I can make you happy Aelita." I confessed all in one breath.
Aelita and Jeremy stood at me with their jaw hanging open.
"Oh." Aelita replied just standing there.
"Oh? I just confessed my heart to you and you say oh?" I snapped unintentionally.
"Well you just caught me off guard Odd Della Robbia! What do you want me to say?" She yelled throwing her hands in the air.
"I want you to say how you feel! How you honesty feel! Not any of that bullshit you've been feeding us lately."
"You want to know how I feel? I love you too. But I've been so scared because I see how you treat girls. I'm scared to ruin our friendship. Because you're my best friend. And I'm scared because you're so unpredictable."
She stood there breathing heavily as her chest went up and down. But all I can think about is that she loved me too.
"You love me too?" I asked grinning like a fool.
"Well too late for that Odd. I asked Aelita out first and she said yes." Jeremy said sourly as he steeped in front of her.
"Jeremy please step aside." Aelita said quietly.
I looked out the corner of my eye and saw the crowd with Yumi and Theo coming closer.
"Uh you guys. Are you forgetting that you're cousins?" Yumi whispered hissed to me.
"Nope." I answered her before swiftly connecting my lips with Aelita's.
Everyone around us sucked in a deep breath and became silent.
"I told everyone that they were freaks." Sissy screeched across the room. "I don't know about you guys but I don't make out with my cousins."
Aelita immediately pulled back and ran to the nearest entrance.
"You see what you did?" Jeremy yelled at me. "Now everyone's going to make fun of her again."
"I didn't mean to." I muttered.
How could I have been so stupid? Everything just back fired in my face. Aelita was hurt because of me.
"What's wrong Odd? Aren't you going to go find her so you can make a love child?" Sissy sneered.
"What's wrong Elizabeth? Upset no one will make a love child with you?Or are your panties in a twist because Ulrich is off with Lexington? Because let's face it, he does not want you. He never has and never will. So you go around being a bitch to everyone else because of it." I yelled at her before stomping off and leaving the prom.
"Um your friends are something else." I saw Theo tell Yumi.
"Yeah they are. Listen Theo if you don't want to date me anymore. I completely understand." Yumi replied.
"Are you kidding me? They're great. Weird, but great. And how I see how you are with your friends. I don't get you without them and I'm okay with that." He shrugged blushing a little.
"Thanks Theo." Yumi smiled before kissing him on the cheek. "I'm sorry to leave but I need to go check on Aelita."
"No worries. I'll walk you to her dorm."
I sighed as I watched them leave. I wished my night could have ended nicely like theirs. Aelita probably won't even talk to me for a week now.
A/N: So I hoped you liked the chapter. I really wanted to put Lexington and Ulrich's date in but I couldn't seem to get it right. So if anyone has any suggestions about their date please leave it in a review. Thanks!
