Uncertain Feelings

I woke up coughing up water and groaning.

I felt as if someone was carrying me.

I had no memory of what happened.

My head was spinning and I felt cold.

I heard voices but I couldn't recognize them.

All I remembered was going under the pool and then feeling someone holding me against them.

But who?

I opened my eyes and looked around.

Jackie was sitting on the bed next to mine and looking at me worriedly.

"Amy?" said Jackie.

"Jackie? What happened?" I asked sitting up.

"You don't remember?" asked Jackie.

"Not that much," I said shivering.

"Here," said Jackie handing me a sweatshirt.

"T-Thanks," I said taking it and wearing it.

"Look all I know is that you were at the pool and that April had turned off the light and pushed in"

My eyes widened "S-She tried to kill me?

"You could say that but don't worry she's having a nice long talk with the principal right now" replied Jackie.

I looked at the sweatshirt I was wearing not believing that I almost died again.

Something caught me off guard.

"Who saved me from drowning?"

"You will not actually believe me If I tell you.." said Jackie biting her lip.

"Just tell me," I said curious to know.

"Okay well Chase saved you," said Jackie.

I blinked.

Wait...as in Chase Salazar? My roommate?

I looked at the sweatshirt again and realized that it wasn't mine nor Jackie's.

It was black&blue which meant it was Chase's.

I felt myself blush.

"Believe me I was shocked as well," said Jackie looking at me.

"Why did he save me?" I asked dumbfounded.

"I mean maybe he was the only one who found out about you?" said Jackie shrugging.

"Oh," I said.

"Amy be thankful your still alive at least!" said Jackie exasperated.

"I am it's just I find it weird that he saved me I mean you don't expect me to go running to him and thanking him do you?" I said frowning.

"No, but at least say thank you because you are still living in this world"

She was right I had to go thank him.

Except I didn't know if I could do it.

"Okay I'll go do that right now," I said standing up.

"Are you sure?" asked Jackie concerned.

"Trust me, girl I'll be fine," I said nodding.

"Alright take care," said Jackie.

I smiled at her and left the room.

I was feeling very nervous.

My heart was pounding faster with each step I took.

I knocked on the dorm of his friends.

"Hello? Oh hi, Amy" said Tyler opening the door.

"Hey is Chase with you guys?" I asked playing with my hair.

"No I think he is outside whatever for?" said Tyler raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, it's nothing I just wanted to know" I replied plastering a fake smile.

"Okay then see you in Algebra tomorrow?"

"Of course!" I said.

"Great bye then," said Tyler closing the door.

I walked off and went outside.

"Chase?" I called out.

After walking for a few minutes I found him sitting on a bench.

It was dawn already but the sunlight was fell over his features.

I caught my breath.

He was handsome for being the bad boy in the school.

How his hair fell over his eyes how calm he looked.

I walked over to him and sat next to him.

He didn't notice me.

I looked at him.

He was listening to music while his eyes were closed.

I nudged him.

"Chase? Are you asleep?" I said.

Startled he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Where did you come from?" He asked puzzled.

I giggled at his reaction.

"How are you feeling?" asked Chase taking his AirPods out.

"Better thanks for asking," I said.

"That's good" replied Chase.

We both stayed quiet.

I didn't know how to thank someone who was mean to me.

Jackie's voice came to my mind.

"Amy you should be thankful that you are still alive!"

I exhaled and stole a look from him.

I blushed when I saw him looking at me a smirk on his face.

"Someone looks nervous," said Chase chuckling.

"I am not," I said scoffing.

Amy get yourself together and just tell him!

"I came here to thank you..." I said softly.

"For what?" asked Chase.

"Thanks for saving me," I said.

He was surprised at my comment.

"Um you're welcome I guess," He said breaking eye contact.

"You aren't that mean am I right?"

"Sometimes I can be that cruel but I couldn't let you die, Amy"

My heart leaped against my chest.

Did he just call me by my nickname?!

Oh my god, he actually did!

"My sweatshirt fits you well if I can say that," said Chase pushing a strand of hair away from my face.

Ahh! He's to close!!

Calm down Amelia take it easy and cool!

"Thanks," I said nervously.

Why is he acting so nice? I find that so weird!

"You shouldn't be that scared of me," said Chase pulling me against him.

I swallowed thickly.

"I'm sorry for what April did you didn't deserve that"

I relaxed feeling safe in his embrace.

"It's okay it wasn't your fault"

He lifted my chin making me look at his beautiful cobalt-blue eyes.

"Be careful with her okay she will do anything to hurt other people" advised Chase.

"Hey, I'm also strong too!" I protested.

"Oh yeah, sure you are" teased Chased.

I rolled my eyes and punched him lightly in the arm.

He just laughed.

I liked this version of him.

It's almost as if he is mean and cruel in the daylight but in the nighttime, he is nicer.

I want him to always be this way.

But one thing that concerned me was what is going to happen to us?

Are we becoming frenemies?

People who hate each other's guts but also like being with each other.

Or are we getting some unexpected feelings around each other?
