The Game

Chapter 31- I need a soda

Serena

"And then she was mad about me kissing you?" Stefan says after I told him the whole story with K.C and Tori.

"Yep."

"I can't believe it." He scoofs disbelieving. "Are you okay?" he asks with genuine care.

"I'm fine." I lie. I'm not fine with it at all. I feel so stupid. When he came to our house and they had to 'study' and I just believed it. How can they be okay with themselves? I was in the other room right across them. I trusted them when they said they had to study, and I even defended Tori by saying she wouldn't do something like this. I trusted K.C.

I am going to show them both, they think they can get away with this? Hell no.

"I don't think I have ever hated anyone more than I hate them." I didn't mean to say that out loud, but it just got out.

"Just forget about it." he says. That's what everybody says. Just forget it as if it is the most easiest thing to do. I can't forget it. How can you just forget something like this?

I talked to Jennifer and Bridget about it all. They were in shock as well.

I need to get back at them. They think they just play me like a fool?

I talked with the school counselor and she agreed to change some of my classes such as music, but I can do that after we have performed our song our teacher said. So I am stuck for 2 more weeks with that asshole.

I go in before the bell rings so I don't have to walk in same time as K.C. I go in and he's already sitting in there with his guitar. Great. He sees me. It's embarrassing if I walk out again, so I just act cool and don't look at him as I walk over to the keyboard. I turn it on and rehearse a little.

"Can we talk?" K.C says, I didn't see him coming this way.

"About?" I say coldly.

"You know about what."

"Maybe I do, and maybe I don't want to talk to you." I say looking down on the keyboard.

He looks at me frustrated. "Fine". He goes back to his guitar. He just starts playing the guitar and there is 15 minutes left of the break. I have so many questions that I want to ask him, but I just can't get myself to talk to him about it. I'm afraid that the facade will break and I'll start crying or something. I start playing the keyboard just to annoy him. I can see that he's trying to continue playing whatever he was playing, but I just play louder and a totally different song.

"Serena? Do you mind turning that down?" he asks irritated.

"Yes I do mind." I say still looking down while playing.

"Serena, turn it down." He says a bit harsher this time. Normally I would stop when he reached that tone, that's the tone just before he gets really angry

I continue playing.

"Serena!" he yells and walks over and unplug the wires to the keyboards, making it turn off.

"Fucking asshole! What the hell you think you doing!" I shout at him.

"Will you please stop acting like this?!" He says looking at me. I let out a mocking chuckle.

"Not really, no" I say, knowing it will make him boil inside. He just looks at me intensely and I just look back at him.

"I don't have time for this." He says and goes back to his guitar. He's clearly mad and I thought it would make me happy, but it doesn't. I turn down for the keyboard and start playing.
