Chapter 48: "Karma is a bitch, Cohen."

-AMANDA-

-My legs are hurting so bad!!! I don't feel like going out, but I have to since it's schoolday and I am going to meet up with my "boyfriend" afterwards. -

I grab my backpack and open the door. I spot a red Suzuki and the biker infront the road. He's wearing a 'Southside Serpent' leather jacket. -Riverdale? Since when?...He's full of surprises.-

"Looking good today~" Blake winks at me and tosses me his helmet. Luckily, I catch it.

"Thank you." I am getting used to being with him, but his sudden flirt attempts still make me flush. My everyday outfit is just a plain beige hoodie and a light blue jean. -I still don't get what is 'good' at it.- Speaking of hoodie. "Oh, I almost forgot!"

"What is it?" He raises an eyebrow at me and watches me scrabble through my bagpack.

"Here, thank you again for lending it to me." I hand the folded and washed hoodie infront of him.

He looks at it and shakes his head. "Seriously? Keep it." -What?-

"Excuse me?" I blink a few times. -How rude! I even washed it!- "Don't worry my germs aren't on it-"

"That's not what I meant!" He hastily says and grins. "Geez, I won't mind if they were, but I really want you to keep it. I mean, It suits you better than me." -IT'S A FREAKING BALENCIAGA HOODIE!- I notice him awkwardly shifting his weight from side to side, rubbing his neck. -Awww, he's flushing!-

"But-" I flush as I think his words through. -Suits you better...-

"Get on the bike, Cupcake. You'll be late." He grabs my backpack and wears it on his back. Then sits on the bike, waiting for me to hop in.

I sigh in defeat and do as I'm told.
"The hoodie-"

"Will be thrown away then. I guess, I don't need it anymore-" -NO WAY! HOW SPOILED CAN ONE BE?!-

"Alright! I'll keep it! Geez... You spoiled rich boy..." I hate it, whenever he's teasing me. -Why would he just throw it away?!-

"Good girl."

If I'm not mistaken, did he just smirk?!

Thankfully, we arrive in time. I wave him goodbye, before I step into our school.

I am already used to all the stares people give me, ever since the fight. Thinking about it makes me really depressed. Not only did I hurt Raven, but so did I to Charles. It really sucks, being selfish. I hope Raven is alright... he hasn't been answering my calls nor my text messages... I know, that sorry isn't enough, but it's not like we were dating. I do give in, that I sort of had some feelings for him... But now I destroyed it... as for Charles, I don't think he'll listen to what I have to say.

"Amanda!" -Gosh, his voice is even haunting me....-

"Wait!" - I waited long enough already...-

Someone taps me on my shoulders. I turn around and see Charles. -I am dreaming, aren't I?-

"Hey." He flashes me with his colgate smile and charming eyes.

I forcefully smile back. "H-Hi..."
-This is weird! Why is he acting all normal around me?! After all this... I mean, what is our relationship? Neighbour's? School typo thing?Friends? -

"I heard and saw what happened." He looks away from me. -Freak.... I'm so dead....- "It was all so sudden. I mean, I know we don't know each other for so long, but I'd like to be your...friend. If that's okay with you." He laughs softly and rubs his neck.
