All Chapters of I'm Choosing You : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"You did what?!""It's true. Ian had to hold her back." I nod proudly, whilst trying to hold back the unmistakable grin forming across my lips. You simply cannot deny how hilarious the situation was, yesterday. Kennedy looked absolutely murderous, and I'm pretty sure she would've loved to see my head on a stick. But re-telling the whole story to Tessa during PE just makes the whole situation even funnier."Poor Paula." Tessa mumbles, pulling up her PE socks. Our Phys-Ed group are all sat in the gymnasium, waiting for our PE instructor to turn up. I've currently been assigned to the bottom group with Tessa. Usually, I'd fake an injury and sit out, watching the girls run around the field a few hundred times before playing a game of volleyball. My shorts are a sickly yellow colour, exceedingly uncomfortable and totally unattractive. The rules and regulations have forced us to keep our hair up at all times, and remove all jewellery

Oh how cliche.You don't just approach someone and ask them to be your fake girlfriend. Situations like these, only occur in the very cringy romance books or the common romance movies. And I'm pretty sure, that I'm the only teenage girl out there without a fetish for cringy rom-coms.The point is, I have no idea what to do or say in response. Instead, my body just freezes, with my mouth hanging open in utter disgust and disbelief. Is he actually fucking serious?"Huh?" I cough awkwardly. "Can you repeat that? I'm not really sure if I heard you." Maybe I just imagined those words coming out of his mouth. Maybe I'm hallucinating and he asked me something else. Something along the lines of: 'I need you to switch on the TV for me so that I can watch 'The Backyardigans' because I'm obsessed with that show and my Mum never lets me watch it in the house because apparently,

Sitting with Tessa, Ian, Daniel and Aaron at the usual lunch table on Monday morning, feels different.I mean, everything is pretty much the same. With Tessa and Daniel constantly bickering, Ian trying his best to calm them both down and Aaron silently excluding himself from the conversation. Nothing has really changed.But it's still pretty awkward. I constantly feel Aaron's burning gaze watching me, from time to time. But when I glance in his direction, he's looking the other way. Sometimes I feel like I'm just imagining it. He hasn't even attempted to tell the others about... us. He said that he wanted the rest of the school to see us as a couple, didn't he? It's as if the past weekend was just a dream. A nightmare even.The click-clack of heels snaps me right out of my thoughts. Looking up from my phone, my heart sinks in my chest. Kennedy Travers had

"What are you doing here?""Just passing by the neighbourhood. You're not the only juvenile delinquent in this city. I tend to enjoy skipping classes for rainy days at the park, too." he frowns, tilting his head at an angle."Aaron." I narrow my eyes dangerously.He chuckles. "Fine. Tessa and the others sent me out here to check up on you. Honestly, I couldn't care less if you didn't go back to school. I just came to make sure you didn't jump out in front of the road or something."I scoff disbelievingly. "You couldn't care less about me either way. You're a hostile, unpredictable jackass who only cares about himself. That's the only reason we're pretending to date anyway, isn't it? For you. You didn't even consider my thoughts or feelings when you asked me. You think the whole world revolves around you, when in reality, it doesn't."He doesn't

"Holy camel balls.""Since when?""How did this happen?""Your joking.""Oh Charlotte honey, you could do so much better.""Well shit, that was quick."Daniel shoots me a wide-eyed look, his brown orbs silently judging me. He shakes his head slowly, his gaze darting from me, then back to Aaron in pure disbelief. There's a sinking feeling in my stomach, as everything suddenly starts to come back to me.He knows about Ryan."When you think about it, it's actually quite adorable." Tessa giggles, her eyes gleaming with excitement. I haven't seen her this happy in quite a few days, and it kinda puts a smile on my face. "Charon!""Yeah, don't ever call us that again." I say dryly, before turning to Aaron. "And my name is not Charlie, as I ha
