Chapter 11

Monday at school i was about to walk up to Conner's friends. He hadn't gotten there yet. I stopped dead in my tracks. Megan was standing there talking to one of his friends. I walked over planning to ask her what she was doing here but she beat me to it. "You! What are you doing here!?" She stomped her foot.

"Um, i was going to ask you the same thing..." I said. "These are MY friends. Get lost!" She said. "No, we don't really like you." Said Jordan. "Can it Saunders, nobody asked you!" She scowled at him. She turned back around. "I'm waiting on my boyfriend, there he is now. Connyboo!" She ran over and wrapped him in a hug she started to kiss him but he stopped her.

"Woah, what are you doing?" He asked. "What does it look like? I'm kissing you like i always do. You silly goose." She said. "Yea well were not dating anymore, so please don't do that." He said looking around her. His face lit up when his eyes met mine. "Hey Liv, i missed you." He said wrapping me in a hug. "I won't stand for this!!!" Megan screamed. "Then maybe you could sit for it, but over there." Said Tyler pointing.

"Nobody asked you Tyler." Said Megan. Joel and Lucy walked up. "Hey you guys what's going on...Megan." Said Lucy narrowing her eyes at her. "Oh gah do you have to be here? Me and my friends are trying to hang." Said Megan.

"Dude, don't talk to my friends like that! I don't know why you are still here!" I said. "Rude much?" Said Megan rolling her eyes. "I know, let's take a vote. Who want's Megan to leave?" Asked Tyler. Literally everyone raised there hands. Megan looked angry.

"Look Megan i don't want this to be awkward. We agreed we'd be civil about this." Said Conner. "No. NO! We didn't. You did! I didn't wanna break up with you!" She said. "Well I'm sorry but that's not how it works." He said. "Yes it is, we both have to agree and i don't agree so there." She said crossing her arms over her chest. The bell rang thankfully and we were able to go to class.

At lunch Megan joined us again and every day that week she showed up trying to hang all over Conner and it was really getting on my nerves. On Friday we were hanging out at the ice cream parlor. Alone thank goodness but if Megan showed up i guess at this point it wouldn't surprise me.

"What are we gonna do about Megan? She's cheesing everybody off." Conner said sighing. "Well we have to figure out why she liked you so much." I said. "Obviously my good looks." Conner said. I burst out laughing. "Hey you're not wrong about that, i have an idea!" I said holding up a finger. "Do ya? Well I'm all ears." He said. "I know a guy i could set her up with. You know take her mind off you." I said.

"Okay go for it." He said. I pulled my phone from my pocket. "Hey, Hunter! How are you?" I asked. "I am doing well. How are you?" He asked. "I am good." I said. "High school everything you thought it'd be?" He asked. "And then some, listen i need a favor." I said. "Ah that's why you called. Well I'll do what i can." He said.

"Okay so i got myself into a bit of a pickle. I met a guy who had a girlfriend and we hit it off and were kind of dating but his ex is still hung up on him." I said. "Ah i see so you need a super fine model to distract her?" Hunter asked. "Yea and i wouldn't be calling you if i wasn't desperate." I said.

"Is she at least cute? Nice? Sweet?" He asked. "She's...something. She's fine. Jut say you'll do it." I said. He sighed. "Fine I'm free Friday at six. But you have to come, so we can double." He said. "Sure, first date's are awkward. I'm there. Rizzoli's?" I asked. "Perfect. See ya then. Bye Olivia." "Thanks again, bye Hunter." I hung up the phone.

"Okay six o'clock at Rizzoli's this Friday. I did my part now you just have to do yours and get Megan to come." He rolled his eyes. "Please, this'll be a breeze." He picked up his phone and called Megan's number. "Hey boo!!" I heard her voice on the other end. I groaned internally. "Hey Meg, look uh I'd like to talk to you on Friday. Say six? At Rizzoli's?" He asked. "You'll pick me up?" She asked. "No, just meet me there." He said. "Ugh okay fine baby, don't forget my favorite flowers." She said.

"No no, it's not a date. I just want to talk. We're still broken up." Said Conner. "Well I'll wear a killer dress and change your mind. Bye boo." She said. He hung up groaning. "I hope this works." Said Conner. I let out a breath, me too Conner. Me too.

Friday evening i was dressed in a new dress. My mom was thankfully out with Peter. The dress was a dark olive green dress. It had beading on top a bit of cleavage and it came to the middle of my thigh. It had thin straps. I put on an extra squirt of perfume. I checked my make up for smudges.

I heard a car door and knew Conner was here. I ran to the door just as he hit the doorbell. I pulled it open. He was wearing a plaid shirt and dark wash jeans. He put a tiny amount of gel in his hair and he smelled incredible. He was holding a bouquet of red rosses. Awe. "Hey, wow you look incredible." He said holding out the flowers. "These are for you." He said. "Thank you, come in. I'll put these in some water. You look good too." I said biting my lip. I placed the flowers in a vase on the bar.

I pulled him to me. "Thanks for the flowers." I said. "Of course." I pulled his face to mine for a kiss. He intensified the kiss. "Mm we're gonna be late." I said. "I'm okay with that." He said running his hands up my arms giving me chills. "But Megan doesn't know that Hunter is coming." I said. He groaned pulling back. "You are right. You are right." He said taking my hand in his. "Let's go then." He said leading me to his car.

"I hope this works out." I said once he had pulled out of my street. "Me too, are you nervous?" He asked. "Nah i just hope Megan isn't mad." I said. "You've met her right?" He asked. I laughed. "Okay touché." I said. "But she can't just stay in my life. I'm done and if she doesn't stop I'm going to have to be mean? I don't know if i can i mean we had four years together that's a long time. I just ugh, don't know why this has to be so difficult. We broke up." He said. "I know this is hard on you, I'm sorry." I said. "Me? No I'm sorry for you. I can't imagine how hard this must be on you." He said.

"No don't, i knew what i was getting into. I mean i need you to know that i wasn't going to pursue this, obviously you were already dating somebody." I said. "No, it's me. I feel horrible. They say if you're in a relationship you shouldn't allow yourself to get close to anybody else. I know i didn't cheat but in my heart maybe i did. I don't know it's just a tough situation i guess." He said pulling into a parking spot. I saw Hunter already waiting by the door.

I got out and waved to him. Conner stopped in his tracks. "Is that the guy that had your..." He nodded to my chest. "In your mouth?" He asked. "Yea, why are you jealous?" I asked. "I don't know yet." He said frowning. Megan pulled in and got out. She waved to Conner. "Hey boo, ugh you brought her. I was so hoping we'd be alone tonight." Said Megan. "Right, no that's not gonna happen BUT i did invite a friend. I was so hopping you would hit it off." I said.

She narrowed her eyes at me. "I don't need your cast offs." She said. "You clearly need mine though." She laughed. "You can just stop that right there. Not gonna entertain that. Hunter, this is Megan. Megan this is Hunter. He's a fellow model." I said. "Oh a model? I see, i see. Hey Hunter. You're cute." She said nodding her approval.

We headed into the restaurant to find a table. Megan sat next to Hunter and talked with him. "I think this worked out beautifully." Said Conner quietly. "Yea but i don't know how he feels about her. I mean..." I didn't finish my sentence. "Say no more i dated her, i do understand." He said. Dinner went well. After it was over we all went outside. Hunter told all of us bye and that he'd call Megan soon. Had they hit it off?

"Conner, i um...am sorry that i was being a jerk. I should give you your space i guess. I just don't really have any other friends. And I've dated you for so long i didn't want us to be over." She said. "I know that but I've been telling you for a while that things weren't good anymore and that maybe we should take some time, give each other space. You always talked me out of it." He said. "I know, you're right. But I'll give you your space." She said.

She turned to me. "And you, i still hate you for stealing my boyfriend. And don't think hooking me up with Hunter is going to change things. I still don't like you. And i never will. Don't even speak to me ever." She said. "Not gonna be a problem, have a nice night." I said turning to go. I grabbed Conner's hand and we walked to his car.

"Hey that worked out, great idea you had there!" He said. "Thank you, it was a team effort." I said. "Well i like that, let's get you home shall we?" He asked. "Sure, my mom will be out late. Wanna come in and watch a movie?" I asked. "I do, cuddling you is one of my favorite hobbies these days." He said entwining his fingers through mine.
