Chapter 23: Chapter 22

I’ve been slacking on my work again and its all because of Kellin. Its all his fault, he won’t leave. Apparently, he’s free to do what ever he wants and that means stay wherever I am. I will not tolerate something like this. He cannot stay around me when I have work to do. Can he at least wait till spring break at least? I mean I really have things to do.

I put off all my work till the day it was actually due. I planned on working the whole day without distractions. But that’s not even close to what happened. Especially not early today. Kellin knows how to be a pain in my ass. Literally:

I can’t. Its the hardest thing to stay focus now. I can never rebound from something like that, it takes me a while. So I tried to ignore him as much as I could without making it seem like I’m being resistant because he would totally act on that real quick. He laid on the couch behind me while I typed up my paper. His arm was wrapped around my waist which was annoying me really. He knows I hate it with a passion when he holds me there.

“You work a lot,” he murmured. I haven’t been doing much, that’s why I’m trying to work now. I need to study or I’ll fail.

“Its called trying to get an education,” I pointed out.

“And then what?”

“Kellin, shut up,” I snapped. He continued murmuring something too low for my hearing. If that’s attitude, I’ll kick him out.

“Can you not ignore me?” he asked sadly. He’s good at faking it, but I know how to see through it.

“You got enough attention for today,” I said plainly.

“I’m still-”

“No, stop,” I cut him off. I know what he’s going to say and its a no. I feel like I have to be parental towards him or he’ll just take advantage of me. He has already so I might as well stop it now before it gets out of hand. “Are you just going to stay here everyday?”

“I might just live here.” he sounded amused with something like that. That’s a nightmare. He will never let me go if that happens.

“I have a roommate.”

“That won’t be a problem.” he said. I looked down at him. What? He closed his eyes and went silent. That annoyed me, he annoys me. What the hell is he doing? Why the hell is he so still? Is he trying to sleep? I tried to not bang on my laptop because I need that.

Then I knew why. Toby came back from his class. My jaw dropped, Kellin was still here, his arm around me as he pretended to sleep. He planned this stupid shit. What the hell is wrong with him? Toby turned to me and I couldn’t hide my embarrassment. He had the largest smile spreading across his face as he tried to not laugh.

“Oh my g-”

“Shut up,” I said quickly.

“Its that gu-”

“Shut up,” I said louder. He held back his giggling, it looked like it hurt. My face was turning red as he started to laugh. I hate Kellin for this.

“So when did all this start?” he asked, a smug grin on his face. I’m prepared to wipe it off but I started to get embarrassed real quick.

“Nothing started.” I stammered.

“Do you need me to-” he pointed at the door indicating he was going to leave but I stopped him. I cannot be left alone.

“No stop, its not what you think.” I said quickly.

“I think it is actually. I mean c’mon, I’m not that stupid.” he laughed. I shut my mouth tightly, holding in my yell. “How long has this been going on Pierce? Don’t tell me Jesse was right,” he teased.

“She isn’t.”

“Then-”

“I hate you,” I said.

“No wonder your game is so weak. You switched options,” he giggled like he made the funniest joke ever. ITS NOT FUNNY. “You know I wouldn’t be the one to care much-”

“I’m done with you.” I looked back to my computer without hesitation. He went on laughing obnoxiously as he went to the room. I could hear his laugh even when he closed the door. I’m going to get ridiculed for a while. Toby will never let this go. “I hate you,” I said to Kellin.

“No you don’t.” he sat up next to me and ran his hand through his hair. Then he slung his arm around my shoulders. I paused and blinked at my computer. What is he doing to me? He pressed his head in the crook of my neck and got comfortable. That is not needed. “You smell good,” he sniffed my neck.

“Yeah I know, let go of me, you freak.” I tried to push him away but he held me tight. His tongue moved on my skin and I was just ready to shriek and cry. I fought with him to let me go, but I’m fighting a vampire, I won’t get far.

Mother, father, I hope you’re giving me strength to deal with this idiot cause this is what I have to deal with for the rest of my life.
