17 - Charlotte?

—————————————————————————————————

After that stunt he just pulled I made sure to stay far away from him as possible I had the power to stop but I didn't, now I was freaking out.

We were now heading towards the car and yes I was walking a fast pace than everyone.

I opened the car door then entered,min later the car started and now I just have to wait for them to come.

My eyes focused on the door that was opening just to see Damien? "Where's Luke" I looked behind him.

The rest of them entered but he wasn't their "Taking a Uber somewhere"

"Where" sounding impatient.

"Something about meeting charlotte." The name hit me why was he going to meet her when it's almost 12.

I clench my jaw then started the car with pure silence which Damien saw but didn't say anything yet.

He probably regrets kissing me... why else would head straight to her  am such a dumbass I said in my thoughts while rubbing one of my hands through my hair.

"Hey you alright?" Damien whispered to me.

"Yeah.."

"You know you could tell anything when you're ready" Damien gave me a reassuring smile which I return with a nod.

"Luke with an girl? They're probably doing the deeds" Ava said whispering Mike.

"Or we could just say he's probably not doing it" he said in return.

"He's with a girl, alone, 12am, are you not getting this" Liam said swinging his arms over Ava.

"I don't think he's the one to do one night stands" Damien turned his attention to Mike.

Mike showed him the finger then proceeds to look out the window.

"Who knows probably girlfriend and boyfriend already" he noted

"Alright enough with Luke. Don't we have a group project thingy to do?"

The words he said reminds me of something we have a group together.

"We're going over there when am done dropping you guys are off"

"I'm coming too, we're starting ours tomorrow" Mike said.

"What are you doing" charlotte raised her eyebrows.

"Just.. bored" no clue I ran to her house in the first place.

"Are you just gonna stand there" she moved out of the way making space for me.

I stepped in smelling cookies straight away, she's a baker surprisingly.

"I don't know what to do" I sat on her couch running but my hands through my hair.

"Explain?" She sat in front of me tilting her head.

"Am.." I bit my bottom lip looking at the ceiling.

Taking in a deep breath ready to say it "Gay" my hands were now covering my face rethinking why I told someone who I just met.

"Knew it! I mean It was obvious" she kept on talking on about how she was right.

"Sorry, I got carried away what was your problem?"

"kissed a person who's straight, probably mad and ignoring me"

Before she could answer the doorbell rang, we both look at each other then back at the door "let's see who is it."

"Yeah you do that I will make to run if that someone kills you" giving her a thumbs up which she rolled her eyes at.

I took out my phone pretending to do something while staring at the door.

Charlotte opened the door which to my surprise seeing the trio seriously?

No no I really don't want to see him just yet should I fake sleep... nah.

"Oh are you here for Luke" she smiled having no idea.

"Yeah.." Mike said while looking at how nervous I am.

"Were we interrupting something" miles eyes never left mine.

"Yes! He was about to tel-" I stood up from my chair along with a loud noise.

"You know we should just continue tomorrow!" Pushing past her then pushing the trio out.

I gave a quick farewell then slam the door shut "Why are you guys here".

"We're here for the group project the same thing you're here for... right?" Miles folded his arms

"Y-Yes, right."

"And right now am heading home" brushing past him and headed towards the car.

I stand there speechless why was he nervous?! They probably did something.

"What's the point coming here anyway" Mike rolled his eyes.

But seriously was he not gonna mention what happened. I turned to look at him noticing that we were both staring at each other, he quickly went into the backseat turning his attention toward his phone.

"Alright let's go am tired" Damien noted.

We both agreed and headed towards the car. I took out my car keys that was in my pocket and opened the door.

Mike is sitting in the passenger seat this time while Damien sat beside Luke.

"Soo tell me everything!" Mike squeal removing the silence atmosphere.

"Nothing happened" mumbling.

"Really!" Miles said with sarcastic expression which I could in the car mirror, no one else could but me.

"Yeah! I wasn't supposed to tell you guys this, but we cuddle and watched some movies" I looked straight at him as he widened his eyes with angered.

"Did you guys kiss" Damien added.

"We were about-" the car stopped making me bump my head on his seat.

"Sorry, I thought I saw a squirrel" he started driving again.

Everything went silent again mike looked me with raising an eyebrow but I just respond with nothing.

My heart was beating fast I was nervous for a reason.

"Soo.. what about a game.." Mike wanted to clear the awkward silence but it didn't work for me and miles.

"I spy?" Mike looked at Damien for help.

"Miles?"

"Fine"

Mike looked at me pleading so i mumbled a yes.

"alright! I spy something red"

I was so tired that I didn't even participate in the game even miles

"You guys said yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Miles said quickly not to raise suspicious which it did.

Since they got the message we all just seated there waiting to be drop off home.

———

Obviously I was the last one to in the car but I plugged in my ear buds just in case.

The car stopped and I looked at my house to see that it was dark meaning no one will suspect me if I was gone.

I opened the car door shutting it secs later then started walking towards the house without acknowledging him.

A car door opened behind me knowing it was miles but I kept on walking, then running was heard secs later a hand pulled me facing towards him.

It wasn't a kiss.

He wasn't returning anything for me.

It was a punch in the face, right on the nose. He walked away without saying anything.

My hands were touching my nose seeing if theirs anything bleeding, I heard his car staring then driving away.

I really mess up.
