Chapter 7: Crush on Crush (Unedited)
Naomi's POV
My last class was on the stop floor, since I didn't want to bump into the girls who were talking about me early I stayed back in the classroom for a while.
Amber found her way to where I was and a sigh escaped my body.
"Hey Naomi, did you talk to him?" She asks taking a seat on the teachers desk.
"He said no." I tell her plain and simple. They same way he told me.
"What?" Shock overtook her features as soon as the words left my lips.
"I bet she didn't even try." Her minion Joy scoffed at me.
"Shut up Joy, she's not like that." Amber surprised me by defending me.
"Look I told you that he and I aren't as close as you think." I tell them.
But I also had to wonder what he saw me as since he searched for me today just to give me my Scrunchy back.

Naomi's POV Time trickled by slowly and it seemed as if the weekend would never come. Or maybe I was too excited for the book sale tomorrow. As the bell rang signaling the end of class I wasted no time heading to my locker and then straight for the upstairs bathroom. Since it was upstairs it was hardly occupied so I always go there to read during lunch. I go into my usual stall, I close the lid inspecting it to make sure its clean before I sit on it. About 10 minutes into reading my book I hear the slam open. "What this about Amber?" I hear Riley's voice ask. I stay quiet not wanting them to know I'm here. I start praying that they don't check the stalls and find out I'm here. "You know exactly what its about." Amber tells her in a matter of fact tone. They both stay quiet for an unusually long time before Mina spoke up again. I assume they were having a staining contest. "Don't play dumb with me Riley, you know i

But my fellow school mates were in denial, so their having a second end of summer party.As I sat cross legged on my yoga mat reading my book, I couldn't but glance at Riley and she fidget and fiddle her thumbs.

Naomi's POV Its been a few days since the Amber incident and she hasn't approached me since. I guess the warning Riley gave her worked. I was still a bit down because I didn't get the books wanted Saturday. All the book groups are still buzzing about the books, some people even start getting ther books already. While I had nothing to look forward to. And nothing new to read. To cheer myself up I decided to go to the bookstore down the road, even its run by an old lady she tries her best to keep up with the latest stories and the most popular one while still having all the classics available. Since I'm going to walk there I decided to put on sneakers instead of flats, I glance at my hoodie but decides to leave it, it's just the middle of September the evening's not going to be that chilly.

Riley says irritated."I'm pretty sure you have a lot of books in your room" I deadpanned."Not as much as you do, like get a life. Anyways I came to tell you dinner is ready." She scoffs before walking away.Its been like this between us lately, she's talking to me way more than usual. I think its because of what I said in the car the other day.I painfully close the book telling it goodbye as I went downstairs for dinner."You've
