Kade's POV

"You look tired" Parker commented
"I didn't sleep" I said simply, looking at the gates again
I didn't want to smoke
I promised myself I wouldn't. For her
But I was stressed out
She didn't message me. She didn't call me back

She was giving me radio silence
And I couldn't stand it.

"Leave him be, he's having woman trouble" Tommy chuckled
"Tommy, he's got a right t-"
I didn't hear the rest, because the moment I saw Kingsley I left them.

"Kingsley" I called out, she glanced at me, hair framing her gorgeous face before she quickly looked away
"Kins" I said, catching up to her, grabbing her shoulders gently
"Are you okay?" Alex asked her

She nodded
"I'll catch up" she said, before Alex walked away, smiling at me
"I have to go" she said to me simply, eyes on the floor
"Can't we talk?" I asked

"I'm busy Kade, I- we'll talk later" she said, brushing past me and quickly jogging up the steps into school

"Well, that didn't look good" Tommy said as I made my way back to them
"What do I do?" I asked
"Make her listen" Elijah said
"Yeah, make her see that you're a good guy" Tommy shrugged
"I meant more... give her space but show her you're not a threat, not something to be scared off" Elijah said

"No, I think my approach is better" Tommy said
"I think you're both idiots" Parker said
"Oh yeah? And what's new in the life of Parker eh? Bagged Maria yet?" Tommy teased
"We're... getting there" he said
"Getting where?" Elijah asked
"None of your business" he replied.

"We're taking it slow alright, we're getting to know each other" he shrugged

Kingsley's POV

"We're so fucking together" Maria squealed
"You've been saying that for weeks babe, think if you were together, he'd at least acknowledge you in school" Alex chuckled
"Alex" I warned
"What? She's not like us Lee, I've got my Athena, you've got the boy you've drooled over since middle school" she said

"Yeah" I sighed sadly.
But do I? Have him?
He... I didn't know what to think of him anymore

Kade's POV

"Where's Kingsley?" I asked, looking round at the girls
"Hello to you too Kade" Alex replied
"She's at a meeting, for the paper" Maria told me
Oh.
"Oh, okay" I said, turning to leave

"God would you look at Ashley today?" I heard Alex comment as I walked away
She wasn't here? Was that planned?
Was she avoiding me?
Of course she was avoiding me
