Never Gonna Happen (ON PAUSE)

Chapter 24- Guilty

We all walked out of McDonald's satisfied with what we had eaten. Well I was, I had made Tyler buy me 24 pieces of chicken nuggets, the grand spicy chicken burger meal and well a cookie.

Cause I loved cookies.

I also loved chicken nuggets and Tyler watched me in amusement as I devoured each and everyone one of them.

"I like a girl that doesn't buy a salad and can eat until her hearts content", he looks satisfied as I sip on my drink turning to my friends who were all enthralled in a conversation about tomorrow's football game.

I couldn't help but think of Trevor at this precise moment only because of what he'd told me and the thought of seeing him again made me nervous.

"Well, with me. You'll be bankrupt by the end of the month", I tease as I take a bite of the last piece of chicken nugget savouring it in my mouth in pure happiness.

"That's more than fine I don't really get why some girls care about what boys think if they eat properly in front of them. Maybe, they think it's cute but it really isn't", he makes a tutting sound shaking his head.

"It's called being self conscious sweet cheeks".

I pause my chewing as I blush.

Sweet cheeks?

Really Winter?

As I look up at Tyler there was a hint of a smirk tugging at his lips and he raises a perfect eyebrow at me in amusement.

"Sweet cheeks?"

I struggle to come up with a reply but am thankfully saved when Jay says we should go as it was getting late and we all had school tomorrow.

Points to him because I mean look at my best friend acting like a grown up.

Or maybe it was another reason to get more alone time with Jessica Mitchell.

My sub conscious sighs at me in disappointment.

I silently get up and we all walk outside whilst I take a sip of the soda I had in my hands which were slightly frozen because of the ice inside of the drink.

I checked my phone which read 8:49 PM.

My thoughts went back to the big game between Solano high and Barren high tomorrow and I felt some sort of unspoken tension that lingered in the air whilst we walked towards the direction of the cars we'd driven in.

The girls had decided that Mateo, Carter, Coco and Vanessa would be in the first car. The second car, would have Chase, Jacob, Jay and Jessica. Which conveniently left me and Tyler together.

However, I didn't want to be alone with him.

I hadn't forgotten earlier. Even if he did buy me a McDonald's.

I guess the truth was I also felt guilty after the conversation with Trevor that I had, had and the promise I had broke about staying away from him. The conversation between Trevor and I constantly replayed in my mind and I couldn't help but feel like he was telling the truth.

Maybe I was just being gullible.

I didn't want my mind to wander on the what ifs and don'ts that would cloud my judgment. I guess fate was not in my favour today because I seemed to be stuck with Tyler everywhere I went.

"What a nice surprise", the familiar tone enthusiastically spoke causing me to turn my head to look at him.

Trevor.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

My day wasn't getting any better.

It's like fate was mocking me right now.
