Our Never Ending Game

Chapter 3

It was Friday, and I couldn't be happier that it was the weekend. Not only will I not be seeing Dean this weekend, I will get to spend it by myself with peace of mind. I could curl up in my bed and read as many books as I want, or watch as many things as I wanted to. No snarky remarks from Dean's idiot friends, and no longing looks from the king of the idiots himself. 

I did my best avoiding him, but it was inevitable. I mean, my best friend is his cousin and they currently live together so not only is he always there, he's always there when I'm there. They've started carpooling, which was his idea by the way. And now he thinks it's okay to come up to us in the hallway whenever. Not only does Diana let him, but she thinks it's funny!

I was exhausted by the time the end of the day came. Not only do I have Dean in my first two morning classes, but I also have idiot one and idiot two, Charlie and Jay in both of my classes. I'm stuck with Charlie in science, and with Jay in math. I've always had them in class, but now they acknowledge my existence so it makes it ten times worse. So far, it hasn't been so bad but now Jay move up a seat from the infamous back of the class and he is sitting closer to me. I know he didn't do that by accident. 

I left my final class of the day, science, with my bag in my hand and Charlie following me. He has been trying to get me to help him out for our mid term that's happening next Friday, but I gladly declined. 

"Come on! I'll come by two hours a day, you'll teach me and it will be great!" He begged as we stopped by my locker. 

"Since when did you think it was fine to talk to me?" I turned and asked him. 

"Well, Dean talks to Diana so -" 

"Diana is his cousin and I don't like you," I said to him as I continued to open up my locker. 

"I'm sorry," Charlie said to me, quietly. 

I shoved my textbooks into my bag and pulled it out of the locker. I slammed it shut and turned to face Charlie, once more. 

"What exactly are you sorry for?" I asked him, folding my arms across my chest. 

He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. I knew he didn't mean it. If he did, he wouldn't have waited this long to come talk to me. But now that it works out perfectly for him, he thinks it's completely fine to come talk to me, especially since he thinks I can help him? 

"Once you actually figure that out, come talk to me but until then-" 

I turned around and walked away, not having to finish my sentence because I think he got the point. As much as of an asshole I probably was to him jus then, he deserved it. I'm not going to fold quickly over an empty apology. 

I walked through the crowded halls and tried my best to look out for my best friend between the tall bodies of annoying teens. I couldn't find her though. She isn't that short, but she was short enough to be lost in this crowd, the same way I was. 

I continued to push through the crowds, keeping an eye out for Diana until I reached the back doors to the parking lot. I pushed the doors with my hands and I was greeted with sunlight. The only good thing about Little Town is that even when it's blizzarding outside, sunlight always manages to break through. I know some people prefer the darkness that comes with snowfall, but I will take that sunlight over everything. It lights up the world sometimes. 

I walked out a little more, confused as to why I haven't found her yet until I saw her standing with Dean, smiling at me. I am going to kill her. 

I reluctantly made my way toward her, avoiding Dean's gaze. 

"What are you doing?" I asked her, emphasizing each word. I pulled her to the side to get out of Dean's earshot, and just in time because Charlie and Jay seemed to join our little circle by Dean's car.
