STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

The next morning I woke up and got dressed. I wore a floral dress and put on my makeup. I was sad. And I didn't even realise I was ready because my mind was still thinking about Chase.

He's weird. But I can't fucking stay away from him and all my self respect is put to test and I failed. So today I decided I won't go to him now.

I drove my car to the school. Harper came to me like usual. Sophie was not present today.

So I had to bear with Harper.

" You're looking pretty today Mia"

"Thanks Harper."

And then I saw them. Chase, with his brothers. Talking like usual. Like nothing happened he wasn't sad at all. I just ignored their presence and went to sit on a table and Harper sat with me.

Just then someone approached me.

"Hi, I'm Steve, it's my first day here. I saw you and thought I'd talk to u" the guy said.

"Hi, Steve, it's nice to meet you, sit down with us. By the way, this is Harper my friend, actually kind of brother" I said intentionally making it clear to Harper that I don't like him.

"I'm not your brother" Harper pouted.

Steve chuckled. He was a cute handsome guy. he wore pastel blue shirt and black Jeans. And his hair fell onto his forehead, blonde. His eyes were green.

"So you're new huh? I'd like to be your friend"

"Of course, by the way...what's your name?"

I could see Chase staring at me. I ignore him.

"Mia"

Chase seemed bothered by something.

"Ughh...its time for my Spanish class...I'll see you after class, Steve?"

"Of course" he said getting up and giving me an unexpected hug.

He's nice.

Just as I was walking to my class, a hand held me back. I turned to see Chase.

I sucked in a breath and sighed.

"Who is he?"

"Stay away from me...that's what someone said to me as far as I remember"

He came close to me. And my heart raced fast.

"WHO. IS. HE?"

"Why do you care Chase?"

"Stay away from him!"

"Ughhh...Chase, you don't rule my life. You want me to stay away from you and then you want me to stay away from others too!!!"

" Hell yeah, didn't you see how he eyed you?"

" So? He's nice, maybe I'll ask him out" I realised I said it wrong just after I blurted it out.

Within a second I was pulled into a empty classroom by Chase and as soon as we were in there, Chase landed his lips on mine. And I melted into his arms. I kissed him back.

He cupped my face and kissed me more. When he pulled away, he was silent.

Tears had formed in my eyes.

"Chase...please don't confuse me anymore..if you don't like me why kiss me, why confess to me...and if you like me...why do you push me so far away?"

"I like you, Mia, I do...its the situation that's making me push you far away..."

"Please don't...I want to be with you..."

"Me too, baby, but..."

"Please Chase, don't do this to me...I like you too much"

He smiled, and kissed me more.

"Let's do this then, Mia, will you be my girlfriend?"

I cried as I said, " You dumbass, of course I'll be your girlfriend"

His fingers reached out and wiped my tears, he kissed me last time before we went out.

"Let's get out of here" Chase whispered in my ears.

" Yeah" I smiled to him
