In all the places

04-Its werid...right?

"What was that all about Andy?" Tony questioned me.
We were both in class, I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone about the kiss and what happened between us, I still couldn't believe that I kissed someone.

"Nothing, nothing" I dismissed him "you'll find out soon enough" I mumbled under my breath.

Tony looked puzzled at me and then he decided to give up. I sighed softly in relief, at least I knew that he was probably giving up.

The rest of the class went by fast and once class finished Tony and Mabel headed for lunch.

I sat alone in my seat and tried to focus on the lesson but it was hard with Mabel in my thoughts, she just made everything seem so confusing.

When I reached the cafeteria I found myself sitting next to Lisa she was sitting alone maybe she was expecting friends but they haven't arrived yet she was quite popular.

"Hey" Lisa greeted

"Hey"

"How are you holding up?" Lisa asked.

"Fine" I answered her. It sure was weird talking to girls after the incident with Mabel I wasn't sure where I stood with Lisa or how to act around her.

"Are you sure?" she probed I knew she was referring to the Kevin incident everyone suddenly wanted to be my protection blanket like they knew I existed before.

"Of course" I assured her I just wanted her to stop pitying me.

Lisa studied me for a while before looking back down at her food. After a few more moments we both ate in silence until Lisa spoke again,

"What about you Andy? Are you feeling OK?" she asked me looking concerned.

"What do you mean" I questioned her, I didn't have an answer for that question or any questions thrown at me at the moment I just wanted to have my lunch and be out.
I didn't feel any different except for a strange feeling of emptiness inside of me.

"After what happened with Kevin...after that afternoon....are you feeling OK?" Lisa explained further

"Yeah, I think I am" I replied as I looked down, I didn't wanna talk about it, I couldn't bring myself to.

I spent the rest of lunch eating and then walked home without making eye contact with anybody.

Once I got back I went straight to my room to get changed I decided on some black jeans and a white t-shirt, my bag was ready for tomorrow and I decided to sleep in my clothes tonight instead of using them.

I got undressed and slid into bed. As I drifted to sleep my mind wandered to Mabel. I wasn't sure what to make of her confession.

What she said, was it true that she'd done all those things? I thought about what had happened at the hang-out and how she acted towards me and then I remembered the moment when she kissed me.

I thought about that night, I remember I couldn't move. I was trapped we hadn't talked since I left her house this morning

"Mira!!... Andy" Lisa screamed our name downstairs, she was back from school and we had scheduled to go to the beach that afternoon

"Coming!" I yelled back. I put on my shorts and a t-shirt and ran to the bottom of the stairs.

"You better hurry we have to leave in 30 minutes," Lisa informed me.

"OK," I responded

"Oh, by the way, Mabel called and asked for you" Lisa stated

Mabel hardly called anyone to talk more than twice we hadn't talked since she kissed me at her house.
