Amanda's POV

I put my head in my arms on the table and pray he doesn't see me.

Dear whoever created this world, whatever God is out there, if you exist please will you save me.

Shit. That's not going to work. I can't pray, now is not the time. I need to hide. What if it's too late? What if I move and then he sees me?

"Amanda." Austin says. The volume of his voice tells me that he is close to me. I look up and realize he's right next to me. Damn it.

I look up at him, bored. He's sits down about two centimeters away from me in the booth. I still feel butterflies when I'm with him. Stupid butterflies can't you go pollinate some flowers and leave me alone?

"What?" I say harshly. I can't let him like me. If he likes me then I know I'll fall for him and I can't fall for him. I'm already growing some kind of feeling towards him but I can't tell what it is. I'm definitely attracted to him, who wouldn't be?     

I'm going to have to push him out. Austin flinches at the tone of my voice and for a second I feel guilty. No. No guilt. Push.

"I'm sorry." Austin whispers. What? Sorry? Now I definitely feel guilty. "Listen Amanda, I'm really sorry. I know I shouldn't have kissed you, I don't know what I was thinking, okay? I don't know what I'm feeling. I told James and Hunter the truth. That you're not my real girlfriend. They said they won't say anything. Please stay my fake girlfriend. It's working. Emma and Evan are ignoring each other and I know they're really mad that we're 'dating'." I look away.

"Amanda," Austin puts his hand on my cheek and makes me face him, "Please."

"Why? If they're jealous already then we should just stop." I state. I don't want to but we should.

Austin is silent for a while. Finally he speaks, "Okay, there's something else. I like someone. They don't know I like them. I didn't know how much I liked them until a while ago. Dating you is making this girl notice me more. I can't tell you who she is. I can't tell anyone who she is. She can't know that I like her because I know it will hurt her. Please help me. Help me to get her to like me back."  I don't know why but that hurt. I don't like the fact he likes someone else.

Why did that hurt?

"Fine. I'll do it, but only if you tell me who she is." I say. Austin hesitates for a moment and then whispers, "Gina." Gina? Oh. My. God. Please let it not be the Gina I'm thinking about. "Gina who?" I say. "Gina Varraso." No. No. No. Gina Varraso is the girl that made out with Brandon. The first guy I loved.

There's four people I hate; Evan, Brandon, Emma and Gina. Why her? Why does he have to say Varraso why can't it be a different Gina. I shake my head. I can't do that. Austin pleads. His eyes are full of desire. For Gina?

My heart starts beating really hard and my mind tried to reject the thought as soon as it pops into my head but I cant deny it.

I can't deny the fact that I like Austin.
