Love triangle

"What is wrong with me?" I say out loud.

I'm in my room, on my bed and I couldn't seem to sleep.

When I got back from school earlier, I had done all my chores, cooked, showered and locked myself up in my room.

And now, it's night time and I couldn't sleep. I had been turning and tossing since.

Why?

Because my stupid brain couldn't stop thinking about the two people who watz into my life.

First, grey eyes. I don't know his name, but he keeps showing up whenever I get beaten up, which is dangerous. He only shows up with his sassy and bossy character when I'm in trouble.

Next, Miles. Just bumped into my life a few days ago and wouldn't seen to leave me alone. Says he's attracted to me.

Who can be attracted to damaged goods?

Both made my heart beat fast and my heart stop.

I get lost in both their eyes but both keep screaming the same thing.

'Highly dangerous. Beware!'

"Argh!" I shout, frustrated beyond reason.

Maybe Chloe could help?

I sit upright and take my phone beside me.

I quickly dial her number. It's rings once, twice, thrice.

"C'mon Chloe."

It keeps ringing and just when I was about to lose hope, she answers the call.

"Hello?"

"Thank goodness Chloe." I breath out.

"Raven? Is something wrong?" She asks, sleep evident in her voice. She clears her throat.

Now I feel bad.

I couldn't sleep because of some assheads at school, and I woke her up because of that.

"Um.... It's nothing." I shake my head. "Nothing. Sorry for waking you. I-"

"No." She interuppts me. "No, no, no, no, no. You never call me Rave. I always do. And this one time you do, you tell me it's nothing? That's bullshit Raven and you know it. So what's wrong?" She asks in an authoritative tone and I sigh.

"I have this issue." I begin. "I don't know if I should call it an issue, but there's this guy. Guys actually-" Suddenly, she gasps.

"Oh my god. Is Raven Evans having a boy issue? No wrong words. 'Boys' issue?"

"It's more like I can't thinking about both. One makes my heart beat faster and the other completely stops it. I recently just met one and I've known one for a while"

"Wait. The one you've known for a while, is it the guy we talked about at the movies?"

"Yeah." I confirm.

"And the other?"

"He said he's name is Miles."

"Miles? As in Miles Anderson?"

"I don't know his last name. Anyway, the problem is that when I look into both their eyes, I get lost in them and at the same time, they're sending off warning signs."

"Ohmy. Darling," She pauses. I think for dramatic effect? "I think you're in a love triangle."

"Love triangle?"

"Yeah. You like both guys and you can't seem to pick one."

What?

"But that's impossible! I just met Miles like three days ago and-"

"Darling, it doesn't matter."

"That's just nonsense you know."

"Yeah yeah. Anyway, I can't wait to meet this guys Rave." She squeals.

"Right." I say, absent minded.

Right then the door opens and aunt Mary walks in.

"Listen Chloe, I'll talk to you later." I say and hang up immediately.

"My boss called and he wants us to come for dinner. The whole family." She says.

"When?"

"Tomorrow night. Dress properly and don't embarrass me."

She sneers and walks out

Great.

I have a pending problem and now, I have to play happy for Mr Hart tomorrow night.

Freaking great.

I huff and I fall back on my bed.
