Internal Conflict

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I fell in love today, but I do not know with whom.&nbsp; I am at war with myself as two men are at war with my heart and each other.&nbsp; The saying that all's fair in love and war could not be more true than in a situation such as mine.&nbsp; Sure, I'm a teenage girl, and this may sound a bit like a "Twilight" knockoff, but what happened to that Bella whore and the in-the-closet vampire could not lay a finger on what happened to me.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My senior year in high school, and I'm seventeen years old.&nbsp; I was new here, but had already made a couple friends.&nbsp; Two other girls, Melissa and Katie.&nbsp; They were the ones who showed me the ropes here.&nbsp; And showed me the first boy that tugged on my heart.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Hey, Ellisia," shouted Melissa, running down the hall at me, "Chad winked at me in physics!"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Really," I answered, "Did you do anything back?'

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Just put on my flirty look and twisted my finger in my hair a little."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chad was the first boy that gave me butterflies at this school.&nbsp; Of course, he gave _all_ the girls butterflies.&nbsp; Chad Griffin, the blonde, chiseled, handsome man with a smile so white that the girls (and some guys) had to look away.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There was also another boy though.&nbsp; One that nobody else ever paid any mind to.&nbsp; His name was Antony Sheppard.&nbsp; He was the type that died his hair black, wore dark clothing, had a few piercings on places other than his ears, and listened to weird music.&nbsp; There was something about him though.&nbsp; He had a charming smile, yet, you know he was the kind of guy that was out at night doing graffiti.&nbsp; He really didn't have any friends, but there was one thing that attracted me to him.&nbsp; His "I don't care" attitude.&nbsp; Chad was _amazing_ but he was like everybody else in that he cared what other people thought.&nbsp; But at the end of the day, I still think I'd have more fun and share a stronger love with someone like Chad.&nbsp; Of course, girls _are_ always attracted to the bad boy.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "My mind was on more than boys though, because my next class was college algebra, and I had a _major_ test coming up.&nbsp; I really needed this because I needed to get a scholarship so that I could get into a good college.&nbsp; In the old days getting in wouldn't have been a problem, or at least, wouldn't have been as hard as it is now.&nbsp; But about a year ago my father passed away, and left us with nearly no money.&nbsp; It was just my mother and me.&nbsp; That's why we had to move here, in a small two bedroom apartment.&nbsp; I wasn't bothered by it though, I just wanted my mom and I to be happy. Right now we were,&nbsp; she got a new job as a nurse in the town hospital. While I was doing great in school, had two great friends, and the hopes of a budding romance.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As I was thinking of a budding romance, I saw Chad in the hall, talking on his cell to someone, standing in a corner by a row of lockers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I wasn't meaning to eavesdrop, but I did hear him saying that things were going smooth.&nbsp; &nbsp;I also heard him say "She'll be mine before she knows what hit her" and when I heard that my heart skipped a beat and so desperately wished he was talking about me.&nbsp; He probably didn't even know I existed though, due to me being new here and only having one class with him.&nbsp; I had six of my seven classes with Antony though, and the one class I had that didn't have either of them in was probably the one I'd like to see the in most.&nbsp; Gym.&nbsp; I smiled at the image Chad's body in gym in a swear soaked shirt, and at the thought of Antony in shorts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I got into my college algebra class, and before Mr. Spalding (the most boring teacher _ever_) was in the room, there was already an uneasy feeling.&nbsp; I looked from one side of the room to the other, and saw nothing unusual.&nbsp; The second time I glanced around I saw it though.&nbsp; Antony and Chad were sitting on opposite sides of the classroom like normal, but this time they were staring each other down.&nbsp; It was like the looks cowboys got in those old westerns before a gun fight happened.&nbsp; Now, of course people like Chad and people like Antony never got along well, this seemed like a little much.&nbsp; But before any thing bad happened Mr. Spalding ran in, apologizing profusely for being late.&nbsp; That was what ended the "game" the boys were playing.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The hour came and went, I got my test back with a ninety-two percent, and "-A" and I cursed myself for not being good enough.&nbsp; Apparently Chad noticed, and looked over at me smiling.&nbsp; "It's not that big a deal," he laughed, "I mean, look at me, I got a +C, and you don't see me muttering almost curse words under my breath."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Thanks, but it's sort of a big deal.&nbsp; I mean, you can probably get to school on a football scholarship or something, I can't.&nbsp; You see, I can't tackle very well, and my spiral throw needs work," I said back playfully.&nbsp; He laughed, and his laugh made me feel really warm inside.&nbsp; Then I realized the warm feeling was me blushing.&nbsp; I quickly looked away, but as I did I looked in Antony direction, only to find him glaring again.&nbsp; As soon as my eyes met his he looked away about as quickly as I had from Chad.&nbsp; What was with him, or them, or whatever? &nbsp;
