Chapter 21: What?!

Hannah:

"You and Louis seem to be getting hot and heavy." Linda spoke when we came in class.

"Yeah I guess," I shrugged taking my seat next to her.

"You guess? I saw the lip lock you guys just exchanged. And you talk about me and Eddie getting a room." She rolled her eyes opening her notebook

"It was just a peck on the lips, simple."

"I saw tongue."

"So?" I whispered harshly.

"Did he ask you to the dance?" Linda questioned. My body stilled, not knowing what my answer would be when he asked me earlier. I was teetering on maybe and just staying home with Rocky Road ice cream but seeing Charlie with his old hookup I was a bit pissed but trusted him.

"He did."

"And did you say yes?"

"I didn't give him an answer."
"Why not?"

"I don't know if I do want to go."

"Come on Han, it could be fun. This is your first boyfriend, making out is so awesome." Not technically my first but I kept my mouth shut.

"Maybe you're right but-"

"No, I am right. Say yes. We are gonna double date, have a blast with your friends until senior year hits and then do it again for prom." I laughed at her, can't argue with her so I gave a nod at this as I took out my journal when the teacher walked in and began the lesson.

School ended finally and I couldn't wait to go home for a nap. Reaching inside my pocket for my phone as I exited the school doors, notifications on top that I have two texts, one from dad and one from Charlie. Dad asking if I'm safe and if my uncle is annoying me. Leaning against the brick wall I texted him back Im fine, uncle robert is cool.

I read Charlies text: are you really going to the dance with him?- Loopy

Maybe. Are you going with Madeline?- Bubbles

She asked so maybe...- Loopy

Oh my god, we're back to this? Didn't we just establish how much we loved each other? Whatever, I texted back and pocketed my phone annoyed.

"Who were you texting?" I jumped at the voice behind me. Max's smug face staring at me intently.

"Why do you care, Max?" I questioned angrily at his stalker tendencies removing my body off the wall.

"I don't, I was just seeing if you text other people besides your parents." I rolled my eyes so hard that I think I saw the insides.

"Wait," he grabbed my elbow and pulled in his chest.

"What?" pushing him away but he held on.

"You need to watch out for your boyfriend, Louis." That's all he said, let go and left my side.

"What?!" I stood confused at his words. What the hell was that?
