20-James
~James' POV~
The drive back to my house was the longest drive back I had ever experienced. How could so much happen in so little time? I was so close to telling Ally my feelings for her, but yet, another roadblock had gotten in the way. What had I been expecting? For me to tell her that I liked her, and she would feel the same, and we could live happily ever after? Hadn’t I realized that life didn’t always have happy endings? Whatever, I thought, and pulled into my driveway. Life was full of disappointments. I guess I had better start getting used to them. I grabbed the bag with the jeans inside, and walked into my house. There was a note on the table from my mom, that read, “I went shopping, be back by dinnertime. Love you! ~Mom~” I sighed and went into my room to find something to do, to get my mind off of this. I logged into Facebook on my laptop, but all I thought about was Ally. I looked through my closet, but all I thought about was Ally. I lifted weights, and all I freaking thought about was Ally! This was driving me nuts. Everything I did made me think of her. It was like…something was telling me not to forget about her. I couldn’t decide if I should go with this feeling, or keep trying to forget about her. It was obvious that what I had been trying to do wasn’t working. I had been trying for over an hour, and it had felt like days. That was when a very sneaky idea came to me. It was kind of creeperish, but it was definitely worth a shot. My idea was, I would go along with Tyler and Ally on their date, only they wouldn’t be aware that I was coming. I already knew the basics: go to that restaurant I had gone to with Chloe, Mitch and Alicia, and I had to be there at 7:00. The point of this was to sabotage their date. Yeah, I acknowledged that this was very rude…but I couldn’t let Ally fall for Tyler. If that happened, I could never have her. I suddenly got a text, and I grabbed my phone just to see that it was from Mitch. I clicked on the message icon, and read the short text. “Want 2 do something 2nite?” it said, and I smirked when I remembered what I was going to do tonight. “Sorry man,” I replied. “I am laying low, 2nite.” I was aware that I had just lied horribly. Well, it probably would have been convincing if Mitch and I hadn’t happened to live right next to each other, but Mitch surprisingly seemed to be satisfied. “OK, man. No problem. I’m going bowling with Alicia, and I was just wondering if you wanted 2 come along.” I smiled and replied, “No, thx. I’ll talk 2 u l8er, k?” I closed my phone and smirked. Tonight was going to be…interesting.
