Chapter 2

When they day came to an end, I got out of there as soon as I could, Paul had sat next to me for the hour and a half talk we had to endure, and it made it worse that we had to do this introduce yourself to each other thing, he kept touching my hand and making me very nervous, although I did find out quite a lot about him and he is very funny too, I was laughing basically all the time. But the contact was to intense and I just needed to get away, before I got caught in his eyes,

“Beth” I heard a voice call after me, I turned around and saw Hanne running up to me,

“I was shouting you for ages, you must have been in a world of your own”

“Yeah I was just thinking”

“About?”

“Nothing, it doesn’t matter”

“A guy then”

“Are you and Mark connected or something? You both guess right”

“We aren’t blind, your are an open book sometimes”

“He is in most of my lessons and I get nervous around him”

“The only other guy that got you all jittery was, Michael, remember him?”

“Yeah, why did I like him?”

“Well it is because you are insane” I knew know why Hanne was one of my best friends, she took my mind of things that were bothering me, no matter what it was, Siobhan did it too, and Shreena and Lisa, bless em they try, its funny I haven’t seen Kaz much today, but will try and talk to her later.

I walked with Hanne until we reached her street, we said our goodbyes and I carried on home.

When I got home I went straight up stairs and crashed on my bed, I don’t know why but the tears started to fall freely from my eyes. For god sakes he was just a boy, and im crying over him. All I could think about was what he was doing right now, what he would be doing later, what he was thinking about now, what he was wearing and then it got more intense, I started thinking about what it would be like to feel his lips on mine, to see his eyes looking into mine, to feel his hands touch me, I wanted him to belong to me, to be all mine.

I feel asleep in that state until my dad came in and woke me up, oh so abruptly, he thinks subtle it throwing a bucket of water over me.

*Pauls view*

“Amy hurry up will ya!”

“Not until you tell her why you where talking to her more then me”

“Because I know everything about you” he said taking her hand,

“You just seemed to be flirting a lot with her”

“Yeah but flirting never hurt anyone”

“But what if she thinks you’re fit and likes you”

“The only way I would ever go with her, is if I wasn’t with you. You are my girlfriend therefore you are the one I want”

“Paul?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you”

“Erm…thank you”

“Is that it?”

“What?”

“You don’t feel the same?”

“No” he cringed “I like you a lot”

“Hardly really compares” she said looking down,

“Come on babe” he said tipping her head up “Would you want me to lie about my feelings” he said using his eyes to look into her soul,

“Don’t use them, it isn’t fair” he gave her a little kiss.

*My point of view*

They were all over each other in front of my house, what in the hell where they doing there and at that time of night and then I saw him, walk into the house next door and the girl walk off, oh my god I knew someone had moved in next door, but I didn’t know it was him. This was going to make my life ten times worse, and then I heard it ‘Prince’, oh this was great he had bad taste in music too, I slammed my fists against the wall in hope the music would stop but he banged back. I sighed and laid on my bed, pulling a pillow over my eyes and tried to drown out the sound.

“Will you turn the crap down” I shouted at the wall, he just turned it up, he was infuriating.

The next morning I woke up and when I left for college, I heard him say,

“Enjoy the music last night?”

“Not really, there was no need to turn it up” I slammed the door and pushed past him, there was no way I wanted to be near him, no one should ever deprive me of sleep, it just didn’t work.

Deep down I knew he only did it because he found it funny, but doing that to me was not a good thing and I had a good plan for revenge, I could play dirty too.
