Episode 5


“You what?!” Libby shouted.
“Sshh! Keep it down, he’s right next door!” I whispered.

Libby and I are currently at her house when I sprung it on her that Adam and I kissed.
Tonight, I agreed to study at Landon’s. I don’t really feel like it but I did promise him.
“What kind of kiss was it? How long did it last? Who made the first move? Answer me!” Libby hurriedly said without taking a breath, also not giving me time to answer.

“A rough one, about a minute because your parents came home and he did.” I said replying to every one of her questions.

“Dude! He totally likes you!” Libby blurted out stressing on ‘totally’ and shaking my shoulders.

“Come on, you know your brother, he’s probably…. h—y.” I said sounding unsure.
“…..H—y?” Libby repeated although it sounded like a statement.

“Yeah, can we drop it and get on the real reason I came here?”

Libby scoffs at this and gives me a disappointed look. ” You know I don’t like Landon. He’s just a fu-Ckboy. She says while stuffing her face with the bag of chips on her bed.

“Yeah, like your brother’s any better.” I murmur quietly.

“Let’s just find something for you to wear. What did you bring?” Libby asks.
“Nothing, I wanted to borrow your clothes.”
“Well in the case, just wear the dress I bought when we went to the mall together.” She stated while opening her closet.

“Isn’t that a little too short?” I asked now standing.

Libby just shrugs it off and pulls the dress from her wadrobe. “Here. Try it on.” She said gesturing for me to do so.

A few minutes later after Libby zips me up, I take a look in her ful length mirror.

“Looks good enough, now go. You’re already late.”

“Bye. Love you!” I shout while she lays back on her bed.

“Love you too b—h.” She shouts back.
I arrive downstairs to find Adam in the kitchen.
S–t.

He looks at me and does a double take not trying to hide the fact that he’s obviously checking me out.

“Uh, hey.” I say standing there awakardly as his eyes burn through me. His eyes snap back up to mine as he hears my voice.

“Where are you going?” He asks leaning back on the counter with his palms on either side of him.

“Landon’s house to study.” I reply truthfully….. His jaw clenched noticably and he stands up straight again.

“Why?” He asks, his voice full of disgust.
“I just said to study. Not that it concerns you.” I hit back with annoyance.

Adam chuckles darkly and adds, “Landon doesn’t ‘study.’”

“Whatever. I’m leaving.” I say while walking to the front door.

A hand grabs my wrist and pulls me back.
“I’ll drive you there.”

“No, I’m perfectly capable of getting there by yourself.” I say trying to get out of his grip.
“Why are you always so f—–g stubborn?!” He shouts, his grip getting tighter.

“Let go of me. You’re hurting me.”
Adam’s eyes softens when he hears me say this and he let’s go of my hand.

I analyze my hand and a red hand print is starting to form from Adam’s hold.
“S–t. I’m-” He starts but I cut him off.
“Go and f–k Elle or something and stay out of my life.” I say, my voice getting angrier by the second as I turn and walk out the door with Adam not trying to stop me this time.

———-
After taking a taxi to Landon’s house, I got out and went to his front door. I knocked twice and when I don’t hear an answer for a few minutes, I raise my hand and fold my fist again to knock. Suddenly to door swings open to reveal Landon on the other side of the door.

“Oh, hey.” I say smiling sweetly.
“Yeah sorry I took so long, I was on the phone with my mother.” He says once we enter the house.

“It’s no problem. So where do we study?” I asks looking around.
Landon looks at me like I’ve grown three heads.
“Oh right! Studying.” He says but more to himself.

“We could go to my room.”
Before I could object to it, he was already walking to what I assumed to be his bedroom. As we arrive in his room, Landon sits on his bed and I awkwardly do the same.

“Biology, right?”
“Yeah.” I reply.

———–
For the next couple of hours, I try explaining to same thing to Landon.

“What’s so hard about that Landon? I asked frustratedly. “There are two types of respiration. Anaerobic and Aerobic. Now explain them both to me.” I added.
He gives me the same look that he gave me for the past hour which tells me that again, he doesn’t know the answer. I sigh fustratedly while shaking my head.
“You know, I don’t feel like studying anymore.” Landon states while closing our books.

“Okay, then what-” I stop myself when I see Landon leaning in.

“Whoa. Hold up.” I say while resting my hand on his chest and turning my face to the side.
Landon looks at me with a confused face.
“What? Don’t you like me? Find me attractive?”

“I never said that I didn’t but if I go around kissing everyone I find attractive, I would probably have herpes by now.” I say before chuckling nervously.

Obviously ignoring what I said, he leaned in again.
“Dude! Stop!”
“Why?” He asks, his confused face now turning to anger. I moved back away from him slightly not liking where this conversation is going.

“I’m not going to sleep with you.”
“So what? You were just leading me on?”
“I wasn’t leading you on. I thought I made it clear that-”

“-that we weren’t together. I know but still.”
“Still what?” I ask. “Look, I’m tired, nevermind, I’m going home.” I say waving my hand dismissively.

“Yeah, whatever. You know the door.” He replies.

I get up, grab my books and leave the house. As I open the front door, the cold breeze immediately hits me, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin.
I cross my arms, rubbing my skin to get some kind of warmth.

I pull out my phone and call a taxi service so that I can go home. I place the phone to my ear and looking around, looking at nothing in particular.
As I let my eyes wander, they fall on a familiar BMV.

“Hello? Is anyone on the line.” I put my attention back to my phone as I remember I was on the line with the taxi service.

“Yeah, uh, I’ll call back.” I end the call and put my phone back between my books.
I walk to the car to find Adam sitting in the driver’s seat with his head on the back of the seat and his left hand on the staring wheel. His thumb taps the wheel to no beat in particular while he hums to the same beat.
“Adam?”………….
