All Chapters of In Love With a Moretti.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Hey! So don't forget about tomorrow. Here's my extra jersey." I fake a smile as I reluctantly accept the wine and yellow jersey. It has number 17 and Camden High Cougars boldly written on it. "Hope you don't mind wearing it?" Max asks again as he smiles boyishly.  "It would be my pleasure." Why do I keep saying things I don't mean? I plaster another fake smile for Max. I still haven't got over the kiss from Cole. It's like his lips are still on mine. "Jade are you okay?" Max asks worriedly. His concerned eyes are looking at me warmly. "I'm fine Maxxie. Just make sure you

Miss Harris is my guidance counselor. Even though she's supposed to be helping me with my college applications, she's been a bit of a bore right now. She always manages to sound like an animated machine programmed to speak for as long as possible. My mind wanders to Tanya. She is stubborn and I although I have apologized, she still isn't talking to me. We haven't talked in a week. I'm honestly worried that this Moretti issue has driven a wedge in our relationship. I haven't been able to say more than a simple hello to her on the account that I think it's stupid for her to consider Nick as boyfriend material and the fact she isn't even talking to me.  Max on the other hand is just plain annoying. He stood me up on our date to

Dinner takes longer than I expect and I have only twenty minutes left to get ready for the date Max and I have. I'm not hoping for anything serious so I throw in a black denim tight jeans and a grey sleeveless top and my black leather jacket. I put on my black boots and I am ready to go. I give my dark brown hair a tousle and I am good to go.    Max arrives three minutes late, my Mum notes that down.  He is nice and polite but somehow jittery and looks like he is in a hurry. After looking at his phone a few times he relaxes and tells me he doesn't want us to go anywhere serious.   It's strange he is talking that way I mean he is the one that wants to win me over again.

"Hmmmm"  Someone clears their throat from behind me. Cole and I break away before our lips can touch. I go beet red. It's Kathy, I feel completely embarrassed and look away. The whole school is kinda watching. Everyone stops to stare at us. Cole leaves awkwardly.  "Kathy let's get going." I say as I finally find my voice. Kathy is grinning from ear to ear.  "You two are so cute. You were about to kiss!" I roll my eyes.  "Please don't talk about it. I'm so embarrassed I fell for his tricks." Kathy frowns at me. &nbs

   Words cannot express how mad I am at my history teacher for pairing me up with Cole on a project that is really important for my grades. And my guidance counselor advised me to join a school club. I used to be part of the student union group but I got bored of the tired and endless meetings. Now I have to think of a school club to join. I never cared much about school but I'm a fast learner and Tanya says because I'm left-handed I'm meant to be smarter. "So we meet at your place for the project?"  I shake my head quickly.I am tired of being holed up at home. "Anywhere but my house." "My place then."
