CHAPTER 9: CONFUSION SEALED WITH A KISS

Something About You   CHAPTER 14: THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

LOUDays turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The school year came to a close and Andrè and I were still going out. I was so excited. This had to be the longest relationship I had ever been in, and I really trusted him now. I was slowly realizing that he might actually really love me, and not just turn his back on me a few days after saying it. He hadn't even told me he loved me since the night we had made out. That made me happy, the less he said it, the less I'd get scared. I hadn't been scared at all this time; in fact I was anything but scared. I felt safe when I was with him."Hey," Andrè said, putting his arms around my waist as I stood in my backyard looking up at the tree house, his voice had broken my thoughts. I smiled and turned to face him. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him."Andrè?" I said, quietly into his chest."Yeah," he said, huggin

Something About You   CHAPTER 13: JUST KISS ME

ANDRÈLou and Ricky had a date tonight, she had ridden with me to school and we had talked about that. It was Friday and she had been riding with me since Monday. She said she would get her car fixed this weekend, and I offered to look at it for her. She had said that I could on Saturday.I watched from my window as Lou got into Ricky's car. It saddened me to see her with anyone else. I looked at her as she got into the car; she glanced up in my direction, I moved to the side, and hoped she hadn't seen me. She looked uneasy as she let Ricky shut her door for her.I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I didn't know what I would do tonight, she was going on a date, Sarah was still not talking to me, and Mark, well, I wasn't sure what Mark was up to tonight. I assumed he was on a date with that girl again but I couldn't have known for sure, but I didn't care. I didn't want to call him, as much as I

Something About You   CHAPTER 12: MEANT NOTHING

LOUI had just told Andrè something I hadn't told anyone else. I hadn't even told that stuff to Tori, and she was my best friend. I sighed as I lay in bed a few nights after all that had happened, I was thinking about everything and what Andrè would say or if he would say anything at all about any of it, next time we saw each other. I closed my eyes, and tried to clear my head. I needed to go to sleep; I had school in a few hours.I looked at the clock, it read 2:32 A.M. 'Just great,' I thought, as I turned over and faced the wall. 'I have to be up at five-thirty.'I didn't know how I had managed to get to sleep, but I finally had found my way into a nice deep sleep, only to be woken by the alarm on my clock the following morning.I saw Andrè across the street getting ready to leave for school, as I walked out to my car. He watched me, and I looked at him. He gave a smile,

Something About You   CHAPTER 11: MAKING SENSE

ANDRÈShe ran away again. I knew where she was going though. She was going to the pier, the look in her eyes told me that much. I knew she was going out there, that's all I knew I didn't know why she'd be heading out there. I sighed and left my mom a note telling her I wasn't sure when I'd be home, but not to worry and I'd be back as soon as I could. I had to go after her. I wanted to tell her that I didn't want to be with her, that I didn't want there to be an 'us' until she was ready, or if even she wanted anything to happen between us.I remembered the kiss she had given me a while back. She had kissed me, I smiled and thought about that as I drove a few good miles behind her so she wouldn't realize I was trailing her.I stuffed my hands into my pockets as I walked along the beach, alone. Lou had given me the slip – well, actually I had let her give me the slip. A

Something About You   CHAPTER 10: FIRDAY NIGHT VISIT

LOUIt was Sunday, and I was still thinking about the other day when we had kissed. Well I had kissed him, but whatever. Andrè had managed to hurt me again, the moment he had walked away from me. I had made a promise to myself that I wouldn't cry over him ever again. Sure, I wasn't crying as I sat in my bedroom watching from the window as Andrè and Abi sat on his front porch talking. I wished I could hear what they were saying, what they were talking about, but I couldn't. I knew whatever it was had to be kind of serious, because neither were very smiley or happy looking. Andrè looked nervous and serious, and Abi's face held a look of utter confusion and betrayal. I watched as she stood up and looked at Andrè, she looked really mad. Andrè stood up too, and ran his hand through his hair, and said something, and she just shook her head and I thought I saw her mouth move, but it was so hard to tell because I was seeing her from the side now, and I couldn't r

ANDRÈAbi and I were going on a double date with Mark. He wouldn't tell me whom he was bringing, although I had a hunch that it was probably Lou. He really liked her, and she apparently liked him. I grabbed my car keys and took a deep breath, preparing myself for the night, and then left the house to pick up Abi and go on this double date."Hey," she said, as she walked up to my car and got in. She had been waiting outside for me."Hey," I said, smiling, and trying to act normal. I was hoping she wouldn't notice anything was different with me, but sure enough she realized I had something on my mind."Is something wrong?" she asked, giving me a concerned look as we pulled out of her driveway."Oh, uh, nothing, I just have a lot on my mind right now," I said, I hated making excuses, and lying to my girlfriend.She nodde

LOUI saw Andrè's car pull into the school parking lot and smiled. I couldn't wait to at least catch a glance of him. "Come on, Lou!" Tori said, laughing at something stupid some guy had said, as she took my arm and decided to drag me away before I could see Andrè get out of the
