and
continue walking to my table.
I
keep my head up, even though her words hurt. Was it true? Was he really
avoiding me? I really need to talk to him, but lately he seems to be
really busy with his school work which I have to admit is strange since he has
never had to study a day in his life, and his grades are always better than
mine. I have barely seen him at school and our usual Friday movie night
has been cancelled… twice! This is starting to piss me off.
After
lunch I march determinedly down the halls searching for Kade. I see
him walking beside Jon and I practically hurl myself at him.
“What
is wrong with you Kade?!” I demand, shoving him in his chest. “You have been
acting different and distant for the past couple weeks!”
“Calm
down, Alex.” He replies annoyingly calm and distant. “Everything is
fine.” He is looking everywhere except at me.
“Bullshit.”
I reply. “Tell me the truth.” I feel my eyes getting teary. He has never
been like this before. He stares down at me, his eyes softening. He
reaches out and touches my cheek. Nathan picks that moment to come up
behind me and he holds me around my waist. I turn and look behind me to tell
him that I need a few minutes but by the time I turn back around, I can see
Kade disappearing around a corner. My heart hurts and my eyes burn. Why is he doing this?
Kade
It
is Friday and I pull up into my driveway, grateful that it is the end of the
week. I have successfully avoided Alex for the past two weeks. It
is not that I am trying to be mean to her, but I just need time to myself to
reassess my feelings. Graduation is coming up and then prom. I am
forcing myself to focus my energy into other things. Alex and I were
planning to go to the same college, but I also got accepted into many others,
and I am seriously considering these options … maybe it is time for me to man
up. I will be able to speak to her after a year or so. We will be
able to be best friends again. I just needed time.
I
feel my phone buzzing as I walk into my place.
Alex:
Hey… are we on for tonight?
Me:
No… I am not feeling well… maybe next week. Have a good weekend.
I
dump my bags on my couch and walk into my bedroom, where I find Alex sitting cross
legged on my bed, looking at me accusingly.
Shit.
Her
phone buzzes, as my text message reaches her phone. She reads the
message, slams her phone on my side table and walks towards me.
“I
want you to explain to me…” she says softly “… carefully, why you have been
lying to me and ignoring me.” Her eyes flash fire and I know that I am in deep,
deep shit.
“Alex…”
I reply reaching to touch her shoulders, but she moves away. I have never
seen her look so angry.
“How
long have we been best friends?” she shouts the question at me. She doesn’t
wait for me to reply. “Let me tell you for how long. Since
the day that I was born!!” She is shouting so loud.
“How
dare you ignore me without giving me a proper reason why !!! What is wrong with you?!?!” she shoves me hard in my chest and I grab her hand
and pull her into my arms.
She
is shaking with anger, her breathing labored. I grab her face roughly
lifting her chin and staring into her eyes. My lips crush down on hers. I
kiss her savagely my tongue working its way into her mouth. And I almost
scream when she moans and grabs my face kissing me back just as angrily.
I pick her up and slam her against the bedroom wall. Her legs wrap
tightly around my waist. Her hands are everywhere – as are
mine. She scrapes her nails over my shoulders and I hope that they leave
a mark. I reluctantly move my lips from hers and kiss her neck, grounding my
hips into her wide open legs. She is gasping as I make my way towards my
bed. She stares up at me with longing in her eyes, tracing my lips with
her fingers. I stare down at her, not
understanding what was happening but not caring either. She
continue walking to my table.
