Chapter 15

With my thoughts clouded by this girl that Oliver likes I walked out of the school grounds not even noticing Jordan.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

I snapped out of my trance and looked at him. "Oh, yeah sorry. My mind is distracted for some reason."

"Oh, that's okay...I was wondering if you would like to do something this afternoon?"

"What?"

"At the lake."

I ducked my head. 'But the last time I went there with you, you ditched me the whole time and the next time I saw you, you were going to take me home."

"Well I do want to see my friends....Eve and Abigail will be there."

"Do you ever think that I just want to get to know you?"

"Cece, we just met..."

"Don't be so full of yourself Jordan! I meant to get to know you better like friends would, I don't want to be your girlfriend or anything just friends."

"You don't want to be my girlfriend?"

"We just met."

"Right, but in the near future?"

"Jordan, how would I know if I want to be your girlfriend in the near future if I hardly know you?"

Jordan sighed.

"Why are you so keen in wanting to go out now?"

"Because you are such a pretty girl, you seem smart and you don't care about what people think of you. In this town there are so many expectations and you don't care what people expect of you, you just do what you want to do. I like that about you."

I sighed. "Well if that is what you like about me, then why are you trying to force me to stop talking to Oliver? Why do you think he is going to take me away from you? It's not like I am yours to claim. I have known you for two days!"

"Because, if there is one thing I hate the most is people hanging out with a guy like him."

"A guy like him! He's your brother!"

"How do you know that?"

"Oh because I have made friends here."

"Like who?"

I shook my head. "That's not the point. He's your brother and you shouldn't be trying to turn people against him."

"Jeez Cece, do you have a crush on him or something?"

"Ah please, I have only known him for two days as well. Bit he has been kinder to me than what you have!"

"What is he to you Cece?"

"He's my friend."

Jordan stared at him, his expression changing from anger to hurt and back to anger again. Till finally he turned around and walked away.

I rolled my eyes and started to make my way home.
