"So you ditch me to be with him?!"

"Speaking of the devil," Liam muttered beside me.

"Carter, what took you so long to come here?" Broody angrily storms towards him, but his eyes are fixed on no one but me, rage building up slowly in his eyes, and his chest heaving up and down. Why would he be mad at me? I can be whoever I wish to be with, probably his main reason is - I guess - that I am with his friends, that must be it or else, he is becoming one hell of a great psycho.

Seriously, Kate? It surely does hurt so much, and you know it.

Can you make me feel a little better at the very least? You are my subconscious for God's sake...

You brought this by yourself, so no, I can't help you.

I mentally rolled my eyes and turned to Troy, "I better go, see you later." I said and he nods his head.

"Why is he so pissed off and said that to you? Are you guys...?" he asked, looking at me expectantly.

I shrugged and thinned my lips, "I have no idea, but it's more likely a no." is all I said.

I climbed down the bleachers and headed straight down to talk to him before he comes up there, yells, and be crazy about this. This should be done with no shouting because it would be humiliating for the both of us to make the whole school know about our issue - correction, our non-existent issue.

"Carter, why are you trying to-"

"Run away from me as you do! What made you stop? Come on, off you go!" he continues shouting, even after I came to him so we can solve whatever the heck it is as quietly and peacefully as we can. This guy has problems.

"Can you just stop shouting and talk like how a normal person would? If what I'm doing pisses you off, let me tell you Carter, I can be with whoever I want to be and you have no say in it." I snapped, sensing my voice will be louder soon unless we cool this soon-to-be-heated argument down.

"Then why cannot you be with me?" he asked, a little calmer this time.

"Because... because you are not worth my time." I said murmuring, knowing it is not true. My aim here is to stir him up with my words as much as I can, then make him hate me and leave, but it would be a hard battle because this is Carter we are talking about.

He snorted, then laughed, "You do not want to waste your time with me, but want to be with anyone else? Let us be more precise, my friends?"

"That is my choice to make Carter, it is none of your concern," I said and pushed past him.

"Do. not." he commanded sternly, bringing me to stop in my tracks. I don't know how, but it made me stay still.

"Listen up first, okay? Then you can make the choice of leaving, or maybe not." he said, his face showing nothing but open honesty.

I thought about it for a moment, it would bring no harm to listen to him for once, then what comes will come. This will be the last time I will be agreeing with him for anything, or I know it, I won't stop myself to, this is getting more complicated than I convicted it would be.

"Fine."

A small smile appeared on his face, "Thank you. Look, I..." he whipped his head to look at his fuming captain, he sighed, "Can we talk after school? This new captain will be killing me if I spent another minute without starting the training." he said, scratching the back of his head, looking back at me.

"Where? At the local park?" I suggested.

"That is for me to decide, wait for me at the parking lot, okay?"
