Love is a battlefield

Chapter Twenty

"I'm sorry but I don't think am willing to let you outta my watch." Kyle snailed the moment I'd told him I had to see Marisa.

"Please Kyle, she texted me she's at the parking lot——" I paused, trying to send my message. "Yunno, she said it's super urgent" I added

"Oh —— it's just I don't want you getting into more problems —— Carlos and Shayna are still in this school and you're only safe because of me" he stopped when I'd frowned, then held my hands.

"Kourt, you're always running into some kind of Trouble and I don't want that, I want you to be just fine" he said, delicately stroking my hand and colour crept up to my cheeks.

"Thanks ——" I said slowly, prolonging the calm and suppressed atomosphere. But soon it snapped when I said my last three words.

"I'll be back!"

I ran off, didn't want him to stop me from seeing Marisa

Marisa better be worth this.

I kept running, even down the hallway. I was almost coming out of the school building when sweet sunlight swept through my face, radiating through my short blonde hair —— oh yes, I had a silk hair cut.

I smiled like for picture purpose and coincidentally, someone took a photo of me. When the silver bulb flashed at my face, I turned.

It was Tyler

"Hey Kourt, you look so fabulous today"

"Thanks!!! ——" I trailed off still going.

For God sakes, I didn't know why I was jogging through the school parking lot, though I was in search of Marisa.

"Hi Marisa ——" I said immediately I spotted her.

Surely, there was something different about her —— it was her new hair look. She had a wavy blonde hair before but now it's a long waist length sprayed brown hair and she had a new pair of sunglasses on.

"Hey Kourt" she said too and we hugged. "Why are you not wearing your sun shade?" She asked.

It was then I remembered my sun glasses where hung on my hair. I drew it down to my eye's, being careful enough so I wouldn't mess up my hair.

The short blonde hair I had that my Mom managed to roll up the middle in a tight top bun, while the side to the hair line fell to my face —— all round, like a wispie weave. ——— I loved it.

"How do I look?" I asked after I drew the shades to my eye's.

"Fabulous!!!" She replied

"So what's the very urgent emergency?"

"Meh" she said

"Meh?" I asked confused

"I just wanted someone to help me with my stuff's. I didn't want to walk into school alone. Should I say am kinda shy because of my new look"

"You've got to be kidding me. Do you know I actually thought maybe you had a surprise, like getting a new car or something. Oh my God Marisa, you're so funny" I laughed out loud.

We were about to leave with Marisa's tons of loads or should I say bag pack stacked with swim wears, hamper basket's, fruits in ziplocks and any type of candy you could ever imagine, when we heard cackling at the other corner of the parking lot but we weren't bothered till it grew closer.

I and Marisa turned and saw Carlos and Shayna —— they were together.

"Hey Kourt, it's Carlos —— he's even cuter Today" she smiled nudging me harshly.

Marisa is always gonna be Marisa that's for sure.

But seriously was I supposed to blush in this case?

"Marisa!" I stiffened my body making her stop nudging me.

Carlos and Shayna were jeering at me.

"The game's not over yet Kourtney and there's pretty no way I'll let you go" Carlos said sarcastically.

"I pretty agree with Carlos Kourtney, he's fighting for your love" Shayna giggled. "Kyle saved you this time as always from Carlos. There you have it, my Kyle's got a big heart but, he just doesn't understand when and when not to interfere in relationships —— actually two lovers Carlos and Kourts problem" Shayna laughed.

This made me furious because how many times do I have to announce that Carlos and I never dated. It was just a mutual feelings stuff but we never dated.

I was so furious enough that my right had rose in the air, to smack Shayna across the face.

Damn I've been waiting for so long to do that ———— I feel so good.

"I hope you guys have a nice time at the party" I said as Marisa headed back to the building leaving Shayna still in shock about what just went down.

I'm super sure she wasn't expecting that. I promised nothing was gonna change up my mood today, and not even their presence could do that.  I just want to have a fabulous time with my friends and enjoy the rest of my summer vacation.

And like I always say, summer is the best season to be —— rest of us in school couldn't dispite that.

It was just different, no chills, no mittens, or coats ——— it was our schools summer party and every year we celebrate, it's always better and more fun than ever.
