All Chapters of I'm Choosing You : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I watch as the crowd starts to multiply, right in the middle of Heavens-Dale street. Not only were there adults, but the number of screaming teenage girls, clutching posters, seems larger than before. They're peering down the street, as a fleet of trucks, cars and minivans pass them by, and the girls chase after them, screaming his name.I follow the crowd, smiling to myself as a little girl starts waving her own handmade poster, lettering: "Marry Me Ryan!"You wish, kid. He's mine.As soon as all the cars come to a halt near the beach, a limousine also pulls up and the screams are becoming distinctively louder. It takes almost nine bodyguards to pull back the crowd of screeching girls, in order for the chauffeur to open the limousine door and let out the star.And that's when I see him.Although I'm quite a lon

The car finally pulls up in front of the school gates. I listen to the crunch of the gravel underneath the tyres, as we search for a parking space amongst the fleet of students, eagerly piling into the school building. I search through the faces of a few girls, huddled together giggling whilst clutching their text books. Of course, nobody here is familiar to me. I've lived in Wisconsin all my life, so I've never had contact with anyone outside of the state. No relatives, no friends in California whatsoever. So fitting into a place like this, will be more difficult than I thought.Mum finally parks the car, near the front of the school, and turns around in her seat before I'm able to open the car door, gripping my arm with her hand. Her perfectly manicured nails are slightly digging into my skin, so I turn to her with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, Mum?""I meant what I said, Charlotte. This is your last chance. Don't make me regret gi

I open and close my mouth repeatedly, like a dazed goldfish. Completely mesmerised by his alluring, good looks, I hardly notice when as pulls away again almost immediately, creating a reasonable amount of space between us."I asked you a question." he repeats, his voice clearer this time, and again I'm unable to respond properly. What am I supposed to say?I inhale a deep breath, abruptly bending to quickly snatch up my satchel, which had fallen during the collision. "I am so sorry, it was a simple misunderstanding... God I'm so stupid." I muttered sheepishly."You think?" he raises an eyebrow, and I clench my fists, trying my best to hide my humiliation. What I did was wrong, and stupid, but he could at least make this conversation the slightest bit easier for me, surely? However, there's no need to create an unnecessary argument over this.I'm worn out, and all I want to

"C'mon, Please...""I never said I wouldn't go. I said I'd think about it.""Alright, fine." Tessa nods, wounding a strand of her chestnut brown hair around her finger, delicately. Something I observe she only does when she's thinking hard. "But let me know when you decide to come. It's the birthday party for one of my friends, Cassidy."The students of East-Lake High are lively and buzzing over an upcoming party, in which everyone's invited to. As far as I know, it's the eighteenth birthday party for a girl named Cassidy Wilson, who's stupendously rich. Her parents have decided to leave town for the weekend, so she's planning a massive party in her luxurious villa, in the Eden Estate.Personally, I am not a fan of parties, or any sort of big event. I'd be perfectly content at home, watching Netflix whilst eating my weight in popcorn. I once finished a whole tub

I haven't mentioned my slip-up to Ryan. He doesn't need to know about my pure negligence and strangely, I have a peculiar trust in Daniel. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to spread gossip around carelessly so I don't really think I have anything to worry about.  It's been over three weeks since Cassidy's birthday party. And I haven't spoken to Aaron since then. I only ever see his face, around twice a week. And even during our rare collisions, he hardly even notices me. It's as if my very existence irritates him, and trust me, the feeling is mutual.  Tessa and I approach the usual lunch table, after our last History lesson with Mrs Staples. Aaron is nowhere in sight, which is only to be expected. I've been quite familiar with his absence over the past few weeks and I'm beginning to relish in it. I've become closer with Tessa, Ian and Daniel over the course of only three weeks.
