I waited for him by the front door like I said I would, and he soon came down dressed in a pair of adidas pants and a v-neck, he didn't even look at me as he came down the stairs. He walked right passed me and opened the front door, and left it open for me to follow behind him, so I did nd closed the door behind me. He walked across the lawn and to his garage, he stood there impatiently as it opened refusing to make eye contact with me, his jaw was clenched and I was smirking. I wanted to say something to Robert but it was obvious that he was mad. He walked into the garage and got into his car..he didn't even wait for.me to have the car door shut before backing out of the garage quickly, I looked at him as if he was a mad man. He didn't even given me the slightest bit of attention, and I knew that the games had begun, and right now I was winning.

He drove 4 blocks down to my house, I had forgotten when I was at Ivys' that he told me he lived 4 blocks away, he didn't even go in to my drive way like last time, he pressed the break on the street infront of my house and pressed the unlock button, I looked at him..his.jaw was still clenched, I leaned over and gave him a small peck on the cheek and got out of the car. I was unlocking the door to my house when I turned around and saw him starring at me through the car window, I smirked and he drove away as quick as possible. I felt accomplished..even though it was hard for me to not just stay with Robert and probably kiss him some more, I had to be tough.

I walked into the kitchen to find food on the table with a note next to it

I sighed, I decided to go to my room and try and read the script that Mr. Downey had handed out to us..I really don't want to be in the play, and Im not going to volunteer so I didn't look at the lines closely. Soon enough it was 9pm..and I wasn't feeling good at all so I just went to sleep.

To my suprise the next morning I was sick as shit, by the time I woke up it was already 10am..so I decided I might as well just stay home, I leaned over to the small table next to my bed and checked my phone, I had 2 text messages..one from Josh and one from Ivy..I opened Josh's first, ..I then realized I never even replied to his text from yesterday..I felt like a bitch..I then opened Ivy's text " I decided to reply to Josh, ..I sent the text and smiled. I then got up to eat some cereal and I ended up taking some Nyquil and going back to bed even though I had just woken up.

I was woken up by a series of loud knocks coming from my front door, I lookd at my clock to see it was 3:20pm, I sprung out of bed not knowing if I should answer it or not, what if its some seriel killer?..I slowly walked to the door..untill the loud knocking started again, I lunged at the door and flung it open "What the fu-" I stopped mid-sentence, my hair was in a messy bun, I was wearing a sports bra with basketball shorts (my pajamas) and basically I looked like shit, and infront of me was Mr. Downey looking his finest as usual. I looked at him and then around to see if anyone else was around "What are yo-" he cut me off.."Is anyone home?" He asked bluntly.."uh well, no wh-?" he cut me off again and stepped inside and closed the door..and I just stood there in shock..he looked around probably comparing my house to his..I cleared my throat, "Uhm why are you here?" I asked while barerly making eye contact..he was still looking around my house, "We need to talk." he said as if it was so simple at that moment..."Ummm ok, come on." I then turned around and walked up the stairs that would lead to a hallway of rooms he examined the pictures on the walls as we walked past each room as if he lived here. We got to my room and I opened the door, "You can sit....uh..over there.." I said while motioning towards the bed I walked to the bathroom that was in my room and closed the door. I looked at myself and almost screamed..I looked like shit...I brushed my teeth fixed up my hair a bit and washed my face, I came back out to find him looking at the things on my wall, and the pictures on my dresser..I walked over to my bed and sat down..."Soooo?"..I asked while looking at him he picked up a picture of me, it was a picture of me running during one of my track meets. He looked at it as he spoke, "Do you actually like Josh?" he said with no emotion in his voice...I furrowed my eyebrows..."Uh I don't really think that's your business.."..he turned and looked at me, "The fuck it's not?...you kissed ME Amanda."...I stood up in anger, "First off don't curse at me in my fucking house, se cond..You wanted me to kiss you..it was obvious..you asked me to stay at your damn house..so don't act like I just did it out of random.." I paused and took a breath.."You seduced ME Robert...and...and Im just rolling with the game here."..his face softened..."have you really.never had a boyfriend?" he asked..I was about to say 'no' until I realized I never told him that...I backed away a little..."How do you know that?" I asked quietly..he sighed.."Calm down, im not stalking your life..you sent that text to Josh when he was in my class, he took out his phone and started texting so I took it away and gave it back at the end of class...and of course I always read my students text messages...it's funny, and sometimes disturbing." He said reassuringly..I looked down..."Actually.." I said in almost a whisper.."I've never even had my first kiss till' yesterday.." I slightly glanced up to see his reaction...at first he seemed suprised but then I couldn't tell what he was thinking...he then clenched his jaw and looked at his hands...."Did you mean what you said to Josh..." he said in a low voice as if he was ashamed that it wasn't him that I said I lilked.." I sat back on my bed and put my face in my palms, "I....I..-I don't know." I said while throwing my arms up in the air.."When you helped me find my locker on the first day....I felt a need in me that I never felt before..and then Josh called me over during lunch...he became my friend when I had no friend..he's so sweet, and such a gentleman, and we have so much in comon its almost to good to be true...." at this point he looked furious..but he was keeping his cool..and I continued.."but it is to good to be true...because..then my feelings always end up lingering to you, and then I feel guilty...you're my teacher...you can lose your job...you're older then me...I hardly know anything about you....yet you were my first kiss and when we kissed.....I felt like I knew everything I need to know and like I was where I need to be, with you...but then again..I can't tell if you're just some creepy flirt..or...or..I don't know.." I said while shaking my head...by the time I finished talking I forgot Robert was there and it was like I had been arguing with myself...I then looked up to see Robert looking at me...the look in his eyes made me smile...it wasn't a look of lust or anger..it was of happiness. He crouched down infront of where I sat and ran his hand against my cheek, "Amanda...I like you...I look forward to seeing you..I acted the way I did towards you because....I wasn't sure if you even felt any type of feeling towards me...and when I read that text on Josh's phone I felt like someone had taken a brick and beat my heart with it...and so I drove over here right after school ended...I couldn't take knowing that you really like that boy...escpecially after you kissed me yesterday..Amanda..I've had my share of kissing but when your lips touched mine it felt like..it was right...I felt some many emotions wirl up like a tornado in me...and when you walked away..I felt used."..I looked down..."I thought if I play your game back... you'd understand how it felt..he shook his head as if he was dissapointed...He let his hand fall from my face and to my hand "Amanda I'm not going to make you choose between me or Josh..but im also not going to wait forever or be some rebound.." He said while looking down at the ground...I looked down too..he then took his.index finger and placed it under my chin, and tilted my head up so my eyes could meet his.."But you can bet your ass Im going to try." he then got up and kissed my forhead..and whispered against it, "I'll prove to you that Im not playing a game." And with that he turned around and left..he let himself out through the front and I heard the sound of his car door close and the engine of his car start up...I layed on my back and tryed to take in what just happened.

For the rest of the day all I could think of were Roberts last words. ."I'll prove to you that I'm not playing a game...."
