Someone Like You

Someone Like You {19}

After we ate our lunch, Holly leaves for class. Now, I'm all alone in my room, doing nothing. Just nothing. I feel like a princess stuck in an enchanted tower. It's gonna be a long 2 weeks. As I sat on my bed, staring at my laptop screen, I thought about what to do for 2 weeks in my room. I could sneak out but I'll get in more trouble if I do. Thank gawd I have my phone. Even though Mr. Holt told me that friends can't visit me, I can still text them and call them. Speaking of texting, Caleb was texting me alot during his class. It's sweet of him to think about me for the whole entire time but too much is annoying. My phone beeps again for another text from Caleb.

C - Cant stop thinking about u

D - I can tell. Dont u hav a teacher to pay attention to?

C - Yeah but i dont wanna pay attention. Chemistry's so boring!

D - Bleh

C - So watcha doin?

D - Staring at my laptop, thinking of what to do

C - Interesting...

D - Im so bored

C - I wanna make out with u so badly

D - O rlly?

D - Woah slow down there, cutie. Dont get 2 eager

C - Lol Im not eager. Am I?

D - Sounds like u r

C - U know u like it

D - Little 2 sure of ourselves arent we, badboy?

C - Crap! Ms. Clark just caught me texting u!

D - Dont die!

C - I'll try not 2!

Oh Caleb. That bad boy. Troublemaker. Always in trouble. It's pretty cute. Yes, I did say that it's cute.

I closed my laptop and took a deep breath in. Oh what do for the next 321 hours. I took a breath out and wandered around the room. I have an idea. I took Elmer's Glue from my desk drawer and squirted as much glue as I could on the palm of my hands. Then, I rubbed it all over my hands like lotion. All I have to do is wait at least a minute or two and voila! I can peel the glue off of my hands to kill time. (I remember I used to do this in 4th grade. So much fun! I still do it now but my mom says it's wasting glue. True but it's so FUN!)

As I waited for the glue to dry, I spun around in my chair making me feel nauseous for a while. I stopped spinning and wandered around my room again. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello? Pizza delivery!" shouts a guy's voice behind the door. I totally forgot that I ordered pizza. I opened the door and saw someone I never wanted to see ever again.

"Dakota?! Is that you?!" shouts the guy, happily.

"Hey...Drew." I said, grouchly.

"I didn't know you attend this school!" says Drew, my ex-boyfriend. He's Trina's brother who I used to date. Worst boyfriend ever. I kept on giving him second chances whenever he cheated on me. And after those second chances, he cheats on me again. Thank gawd I broke up with him. I can't stand him!

Drew puts down the pizza and hugs me tightly.

"Ugh. Let go of me!" I said, pushing him away, "What are you doing here?"

"I work here. I work part time at the pizza place here in the cafeteria." he replied.

"Why? Why here in West Seaside Academy, in L.A., in California?" I asked.

"I heard from Trina that you moved here to attend a boarding school. Soooo, I wanted to work somewhere near you." he answered. Trina, you're so dead.

"So you flew all the way here from New Jersey?" I asked.

"Yeah." he said.

"But don't you have to work every day?" I asked.

"Not really. I work every 4 days in a month." he said, taking a bite out of my pizza that I ordered.

"4 days?" I asked.

"Yup. Here. Eat the pizza before it gets cold and disgusting." he said, handing me a slice of the pizza.

"I can't." I said.

"Why not? I didn't kiss it or something." he said.

"My hand." I said, showing him my hand with glue all over it.

"Um...ok?" he said, giving me a wierd look, "So, didya miss me?"

"No." I said, clearly.

"Why?"

"'Cause, I hate you. You broke me heart a million times when we went out."

"That was just the past. Maybe we can start over."

"I don't want to start over. And besides, I already have a boyfriend."

"Who? He's good looking isn't he?"

"Yeah. Better looking than you."

"Yeah right. I wanna meet him."

"Fine."

"Good."

Drew gets up and walks towards the door. "I'll see you later, babe." he said, smirking. I groaned as he walks out the door. I can't believe he's here. I wanna shove him in a black hole or something and never see him ever again.
