I took the long way home after school just thinking .
Why did I do that use the picture , I know why , I did to get back at Derek for telling Kendall all that bull shit . Which it was true . But I don't even think she cared that much . But I couldn't let him go and just skate by without paying somehow . But who really got hurt was Ruby and I hate that . I didn't mean to hurt her . She was Catterall damage .
It is true I knew he would be embarrassed because Ruby is not known for her popularity or her beauty . And I knew people would make fun of him .
But I felt really bad that it hurted Ruby who is innocent in all of this . I felt really guilty , I was so guilty that I had to talk to her . I tried to make her feel better . I think I did ,but there is no way that it helped that much .

Truly I don't know why I feel so bad , I mean it is wrong and I know that but I have done lots of mean and cruel things and I never really feel bad . But I feel bad over this .

When I finally get home , all I want to do is take a nap and just not think .

But as I walk threw the living room I hear laughter and it is her laughter , the door that leads to the pool is open. I love to make her laugh , but I wonder what she is laughing at . So I walk out there to find out the I hear a man like laugh .

I walk faster then I see a blonde headed boy and and he is staring at Kendall .

" What is going on here ?" I ask

Is she on a date ?
Did he break in , no wait that wouldn't make sense with the laughter .

" Oh hey Shane ,this is Austin " she tells me

" oh your friend " I say and I did mean it to cut him down

" Well now we was more than friends I mean the only reason we broke up is because she moved here " he says and puts his arm around her

" really we need to reconsider the long distance thing ." He adds

She moves his arm and says

" I am going to see if Jessica knows which room is for you to get settle in " then she walks away

She is uncomfortable . I am a little uncomfortable , but I know I don't have to worry about him she all but told me she didn't even liked him really.

" So I didn't know you was going to stay here it must have left Kendall's mind " I tell him

He laughs and smiles and shows off his white bright teeth.
" I doubt that she has been so excited ever since I told I was coming here " he answers me back

" how long are you staying " I ask
Because I am curious

" Just 2 days" he says

Thank God 2 days I can handle that .

" So what is your plans " I ask
And I feel like I am grilling the dude

" we are going to get dinner tonight then She Mentioned something about a party tomorrow night " he says

" Yea that is Tim 's party his parties are always epic and known for the hook ups , the girls will probably be all over you , because then they won't have to worry with the awkward bump ins or nothing . " I say

" I don't want just any hook up or a one. Or a one night stand , I am hoping I can convince her to come back to me somehow " Austin tells me

I hate the thought of it but I am sure he wants her don't mean she wants him .

His phone rings and he walks away from me. To answer it .

I see Kendall and Jessica talking over by the grill .
I walk up behind them they don't see me but I hear their conversation.

" So why can't you just hook up with him " Kendall asks

" Because you know I have another thing I mean it is true that I have done some hook ups and then it was just one time but now I have these deep feelings " Jessica answers her

" Now I will accompany you 2 to dinner but then you have to do whatever ." She adds

" What about Blair she is pretty and he may even fall for her "Kendall says and she seems so stressed
Why did this bozo have to come into the picture and stress her out so much .

" Blair is metting us at the restaurant so maybe she will " Jessica tells her

" What restaurant are y'all going to ?" I ask as I walk up behide them

" The fry pan " my sister answers me with attitude
        " Just a another great country restaurant name " Kendall says with a laugh
I laugh as well
" come go with us the more the better" Kendall says to me with enthusiasm

" ok " I say and move closer to her but I am not sure she notices is Austin being here making her so nervous that she don't notice when I get closer to her .

Jesica has a text she reads
Out loud that Austin's room is ready

" Please take him to it tell him I am doing something " Kendall begs

" But he is not my responsibility " she complains

" oh but he is he became your responsibility when you invited him here after I told him he couldn't come " she says and I can tell she is mad

" ok fine " Jessica says

So Kendal didn't even want him here .
That makes me happy.

She is leaning against the grill with her arms and she looks so beautiful.

" So you don't like him at all ?" I ask
I didn't know why but I want to know .

" I do " she replies
" don't seem it " I point out

" I like him as a person " she says

" I get it he is your friend , you really don't know if you like him as anything more right " I tell her

She just looks . Her eyes fill up .

" It is just the only relationship I was in and it was not even real " she says and disappointed is clear In her voice
" So everyone 1 st relationship be s like more friend like your just lasted longer " I say to her

         " Maybe but it feels like I will never have that you know more than friend kind of thing " she says and then she starts to cry

    How can she think that she is gorgeous.

             " I don't see how you can think that " I admit

      " Kendall you will have a real relationship you probably could already have one I mean you are gorgeous " I say
I can't believe I said that . And she may  think I meant a relationship with me . Oh I should just be quite . But she looks so pretty and she is upset all I want to do is dry her tears and kiss those pouty lips .

     " It just that I am young but I want things you know just to happen " she says

Dose she mean with me.

           " You deserve to have that feeling . That passion , more than just a kiss here and there . All most like you can't stop looking at each other like you long to be with that person ." I tell her and my breathing has speeded up

               " Like making out because I am not sure if me and him actually done it " she says

         " If you don't know then you have not , but that don't matter because it is only great when it is with the right person ." I tell her

She has an expression on her face that I don't know what it means

We both seem to lean in and then we hear

       " Austin is in the den with dad please let's leave before he gets my Baby  pics  out " Jessica says

We both turn away and go on with the night !
