Chapter 13
I can‘t help but watch Adam walk away. Today he is
dressed in blue jeans and a white t–shirt. He doesn‘t even try
to look good but still does. He‘s the type of man that could Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
wear anything and still look irresistible. I notice that Lizzie is
nowhere around, and I wonder if he waited for her to leave
to speak to me. He didn‘t try to come to me while she was
sitting next to him and running her fingers through his hair,
so he might have waited for her to leave first. I shake my
head; I had to stop doing this to myself. I needed to stop
thinking about the two of them.
“What the hell happened between the two of you
yesterday?” Bryan demands. Obviously, he heard every
single thing that Adam just said to me.
Of course, I‘m not about to tell him everything that I did
last night. But I‘m not doing it because I‘m scared of his
reaction; I‘m not going to answer him because it‘s none of
his business.
“Shouldn‘t you be next to Aria?” I ask him. “She‘s
looking around for you right now,” I tell him.
She had just entered the cafeteria and was indeed
looking around for him. What would she think if she saw him
standing right next to me?
He follows my gaze and mumbles something under his
breath before he makes his way towards her.
care what he thinks?”
I shake my head, “I want nothing to do with him. I have
no idea why he‘s still trying to be relevant in my life.”
He indeed was an ass. Shouldn‘t he be concerned about
why his current girlfriend is over there in the corner having a
heated argument with Adam‘s brother, her ex–boyfriend? He
was still looking my way even though she was doing that
right in front of his eyes. I wish he used to pay me this much
attention when we were together. But no, he chose to ‘care‘
about me after publicly humiliating me and dumping me in
the worst way possible. Now he expects me to forget
everything and be what, friends with him? Ha. He had
another thing coming.
Aria wasn‘t any different either; she also chose to act as
she cared about our friendship only after betraying my trust.
Both of their actions are ridiculous; they‘ve been
cheating behind everyone‘s back, and now that they are out
in the open, they choose to be hung up on the people they
mistreated. At this point, I think both of them are just
looking for more attention.
“I can‘t believe that you‘ve been invited to one of
Adam‘s movie nights. He rarely ever invites anyone, only the
people closest to him. Why do you think he did that? Do you
think he wants more from you? I mean, you did kiss his chest
and all...”
“Shhh,” I whisper. We were still in the cafeteria, and
Snnn, whisper, we were stil in the careteria, ang
people here loved to listen in on conversations. I didn‘t want
that story being told all over school.
She puts a finger over her mouth, “I‘m sorry.””
“It‘s okay.” I tell her as I grab the tray from the table.
“I’m not sure if I‘ll be able to go: you probably have already
heard about my parents and how strict they are when it
comes to those things. They aren‘t very fond of Adam and his
family either, just like all of the elders around us. You know
that they have this crazy idea that they would be the doom
of us all. But as we can see, Adam and his family are totally
normal; everyone else is the delusional ones.”
Including me, yesterday I‘ve proven that even I am a bit
crazier than Adam or his family would ever be.
She nods, “I too believe that they take things a bit too
far. If I try to say anything in their favor, my parents look at
me as though I‘m insane. There is no changing our parents
minds about their kind. I blame the prophecies; they should
not even exist. I haven‘t seen a single one of those things
come true as yet.”
I push the chair backward and walk over to the bin,
Abigail following me closely behind.
“My parents are the same.”
But something in me wants to meet Adam desperately,
Maybe I want him to think better of me; I didn‘t exactly leave a good impression on him. I can‘t explain it, but I need him
come true as yet.”

But something in me wants to meet Adam desperately.
Maybe I want him to think better of me; I didn‘t exactly leave
a good impression on him. I can‘t explain it, but I need him
to see that I was not crazy, at least not totally. I want him to
like me.
I pause and take a moment to think about those
forbidden thoughts. I want Adam to like me? I didn‘t even
realize that my body wanted something like that.
“Ah, are you okay?” Abigail asks me.
It‘s only then that I realize I‘m standing with the tray in
hand right over the bin. I‘ve been like that for more than a
minute, just lost in my thoughts. I can‘t imagine how that
must have looked to her.
I quickly dump the leftovers into the bin and force a
smile on my face, “I just have a lot on my mind.”
“I‘m sure it‘s about Adam,” she winks at me. “I think that
you should go tonight. I just don‘t know how you‘re going to
convince your parents.”
I have no idea why Adam invited me to movie night
tonight at his home, but I know I can‘t tell this my parents. I
needed to make up a believable lie that would give me the free pass that I needed
