Chapter 34
*****Sofia's POV*****
The next day at school wasn't much different to the first except there being no Vincent around to torment me in the school closet!
The ending of the day however, was shaping to be a disaster, as I watched Daryl rush down the street to catch up with me in true Daryl style, bringing flash backs to Friday where he invited me to the party of a lifetime - ending in tears. "Sofia... I've been trying to catch you to talk!" Daryl breathes out, as I try my best to seem unbothered by his company, continuing to walk forward steadily. "Hmm?" I all but hum for him to continue, as he noticeably clenches his jaw at my response as I don't slow or stop for him forcing him to stay by my side.
"Sofia please?! Let me apologise..." He try's again, as I perk up slightly when hearing the word.
All I had wanted from him was acknowledgment that he had hurt my feelings, especially after he had tried blaming it all on Vincent.
"Ok I'm listening." I eventually sigh, stopping in my stride to watch him breathe out in what looks to be relief.
"I'm really sorry ok? I shouldn't have kissed that stupid girl after inviting you to the party. I let Vincent get in my head when I should have just asked you about it first! I've learned my lesson now believe me... and I can't stand you being annoyed with me! I don't have any feelings for that girl, I just knew she would've kissed me back as fucked up as it sounds now!" Daryl explains, as a pang of hurt hits my chest remembering how he had locked lips with the girl. But who was I to grill him about it? He owes me nothing... we aren't together!
"Look Daryl, sure you probably shouldn't have invited me to the party to ditch me for another girl, but we aren't together? We aren't a couple? I've only been in town a week. I guess I just overreacted and didn't like how you blamed it all on Vincent." I explain, feeling comfortable enough to actually talk about it properly since a few days had passed to allow me time to process the whole thing.
Daryl listens carefully, which was probably my favourite trait about him, before nodding slowly when I was done rambling.
"I understand, and I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you? I could take you to my favourite ice cream spot later?" He offers, his eyes glinting with hope as I roll my eyes and smile at how keen he was. Do I just give in?
The plan Emma and I had made sounded way smarter to just avoid the pair of them...
