17- What did I even expect?
"SKYLA! PLEASE, JUST WAIT!", Phoenix called out to me whilst I ran away from him.
Why am I running away? I can just face this issue like a proper diplomatic human being, I mean like we weren't even in a relationship, heck he didn't even say he liked me...
I abruptly halt and Phoenix grabs me by my arm.
"Listen, whatever you saw-"
I turn around and our eyes meet. I stare right into his ocean blue eyes and boy was I wrong. I'm not ready to even face this guy. I can't, I don't have the courage nor the mental state to do it right now.
"Skyla- I-" Phoenix stutters when suddenly someone calls for him from behind.
"Phoenix!" Natasha grins at him.
"Your girlfriend is looking for you, please carry on with your little chu-chu charade or whatever that was-", I struggle out of his grip and walked away.
I could hear Phoenix and Natasha arguing with each other but not a word made sense to me. It all sounded like gibberish.
My head felt heavy, my heart was alternating between extreme speed and utter slowness. What in the world is going on?
"Skye? Are you okay?"
I look up and find myself collapsing into the arms of Kai Langston.
Perfect! What a time to faint or blackout! GOOD JOB YOU NUTCASE!
"Ow..", I stretch my neck and slowly open my eyes to find myself cramped up on the piano chair of our band room.
"Here-", Kai hands me a bottle of water.
I look at him and sigh. "Where are the others?" I ask.
"They went home, we practised for a bit before I ran into you..."
"Great. I'm sorry, I just got caught up. We only have so little time before the final performance. I'm so sorry..."
"Hey... You don't have to apologise, we're pretty much thorough with little things and your solo song is remarkable. So don't worry." Kai comforts me.
"-But I'm SO SORRY. ALL I EVER DO IS SCREW STUFF UP! I REALLY DON'T THINK I SHOULD DO THE SOLO. IT'S MEANINGLESS. I-" My voice breaks.
Kai gently puts his arm on my shoulder and says, "Skyla... you can always talk to me..." and in no time, my eyes started flooding and I burst out crying.
"I REALLY THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING. I REALLY THOUGHT HE- HE-"
"Calm down, it's alright", Kai pats my back while I shudder away.
"He said 'MAYBE', he gave me HOPE, 'NO IT'S ONLY YOU', that lying arrogant jerk. I was just another one his-"
"STOP SKYLA! He's an idiot", Kai shouts and carefully places his hands on my cheeks.
I look at him with tears as he leaned closer to me, and before I knew it, he kissed me.
WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IS THIS GUY THINKING?
I instantaneously push him away with all my strength.
"I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT HOW BROKEN I AM AND YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? WHAT ARE YOU-
KAI I- I-"
"He doesn't know your worth. Why do you even bother?" Kai protests as he stands up.
"PLEASE JUST- JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU-", I cover my mouth and ran towards my classroom.
What a disastrous day. What was Kai thinking? I really don't need more problems right now. That kiss- AHHH IT DIDN'T EVEN MEAN ANYTHING. MY SECOND KISS? No, maybe first, I don't know. Why are all the boys in my life causing a mess right now? First Aiden, then Phoenix, now Kai? Actually never mind, the only person causing havoc in my life is that Phoenix Gray! Idiot!
