More than friends

chapter 14

"Who...."he stood up,turning to see the person behind.

"Chris,how nice to see you, don't you remember me,it's Sophia" she chanted happily, a wide smile evident on her face.

Of course he remembered,how could he forget her, she was his ex caught cheating with his stepbrother Stefan.

Chris frowned when he heard her name. But before he knew it,she already flung herself into his arms not forgetting to flirt with her embrace.

Mia sat in shock and mere annoyance at Sophia's flirty attitude. She could only remember this same scene before her years ago.

¶flashback¶ 8 years ago.....west ville high school.

Mia walked grudgingly in the hallway towards her locker. She was fuming with rage and slight worry. Chris hadn't come to pick her up for school this morning. And what annoyed her more was that she was wearing a new dress today to impress him and perhaps change his mind about his absurd confession last night.

He'd confessed to having feelings for a girl for the first time and that girl wasn't Mia,it was Sophia. Mia hadn't slept well last night after hearing that heartbreaking confession, she was hoping maybe he was just bluffing.

She threw her books angrily into her backpack frowning as she did so. Just as she was about to close her locker, she heard whispers from the two girls standing near her locker.

"He's coming,God, he's so hot,he doesn't have a girlfriend right?"

"No,at least not until he asks me,he does have a stalker though,mia,she's always around him,she calls herself his best friend"

"But who cares right? Quick here he comes."

Mia frowned more and contemplated confronting them but instead she shut her locker with force shocking both girls. She looks down the hall and spots Chris jugging in along with some of his friends from the basketball team.

He looks up and catches Mia's gaze,responding with a quick smile. Mia keeps her face straight but she can't help but admire how handsome he looks in his white T-shirt. She feels her heart thump faster as he approaches.

She frowns at herself for feeling so mushy staring at him. She turns abruptly to walk to class to avoid him but he follows her. When she almost finds herself safe and away from him,he catches up to her holding her wrist.

"Hey,I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up, I had something going on,..." He scratches his face thinking.

"Yea ,like what Christopher,you left me standing outside your house like a dummy,why didn't you text or call, do you even know how I came to school?,i walked!" She yelled lowly trying to keep her voice down.  She hasn't passed her drivers test so Chris was her ride for the main time.

She wasn't angry about the walking but still about last night's confessions.

"Yes,I'm really sorry, I promise to call whenever something pops up." He said.

"Whatever,I have English,I have to go" she brushed past him.

"No you don't,classes aren't starting in like 5 minutes, just wait I have something to tell you"

"What is it? Spill"

"So...last night after I told you what I told you,I decided ,I'm gonna ask her out today, not on Friday,what do you think"
