Kenickie's Girl

chapter 8

On Monday at school I decided I wanted to sit with Kenickie at lunch. I walked over to the bleachers and I saw all the guys sitting around and when they all saw me they went quiet. I said "ouch okay."

They all slightly smiled. What was going on. I saw Kenickie who I strangely hadn't seen all day. I said "hi Kenickie."

He said "hi." But with the most attitude I could imagine. I said "what's wrong?" He said "nothing." I said "can I talk to you alone please?" He said "why everyone knows anyway."

I said "Kenickie what are you talking about." He said "why did you lie to everyone that we had sex at the drive in." The anger went from 1 to 10 really fast.

I said "what the fuck is wrong with you!" Everyone around us was now apart of our conversation.

I said "why would I make up some lie like that!" He stood up and looked down at me and he said "I don't know maybe to fit in with the pink whores!" I said "yeah and your dumbass screwed one of 'em!"

He said "so who started that rumor!" I said "I don't know probably your ex lover, and you believed it! I'm your girlfriend why didn't you talk to me!"

He said "because ...it was a rumor I didn't mind." I scoffed and I said "really babe come on." Everyone looked away when they noticed the fight was now over.

I said "if you didn't mind it so much than why did you have an attitude with me." He said "well honestly I was just hoping it would be a rumor you wouldn't hear about." I said "really, Kenickie, it's about me why wouldn't I have." He said "I don't know I just didn't want to see you upset and I think this outcome was worse."

I said "yes you suck at keeping secrets and I would not have been as mad." He lifted up my face with his hand and he said "are you okay?" I said "yeah, I'm fine, just upset I don't know what I did that Rizzo hates me so much."

Kenickie smiled and he said "well...you did beat her up." I said "yeah that's true." We all laughed. I completely forgot the other guys were just sitting around.

Kenickie and I sat down a little further away from the guys. We wanted some alone time for as long as we could.

He said "I'm still really sorry baby, I should have told you." I said "it's okay honey, I'm just pissed at Rizzo for her to be making up rumors about me especially one like that because I'm no whore like her. But it's okay I'm not mad anymore."

He said "are you sure." I said "yes honey stop asking." He said "well your eyebrows are doing that thing again." I said "what thing." He imitated how my eyebrows look when I'm mad and I jokingly slapped his arm.

He said "anyway, I kept thinking about our drive in night." I chewed on some bubble gum and I said "oh yeah?" He said "yeah, I like spending time with you." I said "aw baby, I like spending time with you too."

He said "I'm glad because I want to come over tonight." I laughed and he took the gum out of my mouth and started chewing it.

I said "you can come over but my dad is going to be home this time." His face fell and he looked nervous. I smirked and I said "afraid?" He smiled and said "what..m..me no." I said "you look afraid to me."

He said "no I just have respect for him that's the only reason why." I said "mhm, just because my dad used to be a police officer doesn't mean he's scary, he's really a teddy bear when you get to know him."

He said "you promise?" I said "yes Kenickie."

When I got home I told both of my parents that Kenickie was coming over tonight.

My mom said "are you guys dating?" I smiled and I said "yeah." My dad mocked my happy 'yeah' and we all laughed.

My dad said "is he nice?" I said "yes he's polite maybe not nice to everyone but he's nice to me and that's what matters." My dad said "yeah I was kinda an ass in high school."

My mom said "kinda?" My parents are high school sweethearts. He said "yes I know I was, and I definitely got a head on my shoulders when I started dating you because you're famous."

My mom smiled and she said "I also humbled you real fast." My mom and I laughed as my dad playfully rolled his eyes.
