Inside Out

32.

Jordan's POV
We were currently on our way back from Captiol. The car was deathly silent except from the music playing in the background.

My phone dinged with a message, it was from Kennedy notifying me that she won't be home tonight.

I opened my phone to respond when he spoke. "How was it?", he asked referring to my interview while making a left turn.

I glanced up to see that he was driving into the take out place that we frequently visited. "It was okay. Tyson interviewed me. It was sort of awkward though.", I admitted locking my phone again.

"I figured, but I know you did great.", I heard him say as he parked. "You want anything?", he asked as I shook my head no.

He nodded once as he told me he'd be right back.

I quickly called Kennedy because I needed someone to talk to and I knew her class was over she had a half hour break right now.

"Hey girl.", she answered as I heard the crunch while she finished chewing.

I already knew what she was munching just by that crunch. She has an obsession with Natures Valley granola bars I tell you.

"Guess what?", I asked her.

"What happened?", she asked as I heard the anticipation already in her voice. "I know the interview went well, so it's nothing there.", she stated guessing out loud. "You had sex?!", she asked in disbelief, lowering her voice.

"No!", I whisper yelled. To which she let out a sigh of relief. She's so dramatic.

"I saw Tyson today. He was the one who interviewed me. His dad is Vice President of Capitol.", I informed her as she sucked in a breath of shock.

"No way.", she commented. "So does Nau'jour know this ?", she asked as I heard her subtly gulp, she must have been chugging her water.

"Yes. He does. He's actually signed to their label. Would have been nice if he had told me.", I said to her.

"Now Jordan. Just to be fair you guys aren't really on the best of terms right now. Wouldn't it have been a bit weird if he had called or texted you just to say that?", she asked as she closed the lid of her water bottle I assumed based on the click in the background.

She had a point. "But I would have been happy to hear none the less. I still don't know what happened between him and I . We were doing so well.", I stated getting teary due to my frustration.

It still hurts me man.

" Get it together. You can't let him see you this way. Where is he by the way. You home already?", she asked in one breath taking another bite of her granola bar.

"You're eating that damn granola bar aren't you?", I asked.

I heard her laugh. "Damn sure I am.", she stated confirming my suspicions.

"I knew it. And to answer your question he's currently getting food from Uganis." I informed her.

"Mmmh. I could eat that right now. I'll ask Darius to get some later.", she thought out loud conversation going off track.

"What are you getting?", she asked.

"Nothing. He asked me what I wanted and I said nothing. I could surely go for some fried rice right now though .", I admitted to her already regretting saying no to him.

Kennedy tsked at me.

Just as I was about to get out of the vehicle to go order some food. He was on his way back.
