Summer before Senior

Gossip girls

Brittany lead me down the hall and in only after a few steps, she went off about what bits and pieces she saw in class wanting to fill in all the blanks.

"What happened?!?! I turn to talk to Max for three minutes and then suddenly famous Luke Davidson is handing you your sketch book, while staring giving a death stare to that idiot Zach, and you looking confused and amazed?!"

She stared at me all gleamy eyed and with a mischievous grin, but before I could answer, our one friend Miles came up beside me and quickly noticed Brittany looking all goggly eyed and staring me down in her investigation mode, bringing on his confusion on what he could've missed. 

Miles was my one other close friend at school. He was funny and smart, and fit right in with us when he came here at the end of ninth grade. He is not gay, if you were wondering and has had a crush on a quiet girl in our grade that Brittany and I have tried to set him up with, but he always chickens out and we had to talk to her ourselves until he some day finally has the strength to himself. 

"What happened Katie? Brittany is looking at you like Max read her a love poem."

I laughed as Brittany snapped up from her gleamy eye look at me and turned to stared at Miles, but then in less than a second, the smile came back and she launched into explaining what she knew and saw that had happened in class. All while slipping me a smirk here and there.

"Our beautiful little Kit Kat queen, has not one, but two boys giving her attention in English. Our girl is all grown up!"

Miles mouth dropped as he turned to look as me. And he joined Brittany in asking question and never letting me speak to try and tell them about what had happened. When they final calmed down enough, I explained what happened in class as we continued to walk towards the art room for our next class and they continued to look all happy and proud.

"Is no big deal guys. Zach just stole my book being the idiot that he is, no surprise, and Luke Davidson just got it back to me. I might not know why, but I'm sure it wasn't because he likes me."

We sat down in our seats as we entered the classroom and placed out books on the ground beside us. I was confused on why they were making sure a big deal out of nothing.

"It is so a big deal KitKat! Luke Davidson! One of the most popular guys in our school!" (I have too many nicknames)

Miles gave me a hug while Brittany pretended to wipe away a tear, acting like a mom.

"Luke Daivdson! One of the most popular boys in the school, knows who you are!"

My half smile slipped and I frowned at what they said. Now they were just making me feel bad. I knew they were doing it unintentionally and as a joke about getting attention from boys... I hope. They were just exited about the whole incident...

Okay, so maybe I don't get lots of attention from popular boys, or, any boys at all much, but just because suddenly one knows me, it become a big deal. I wasn't looking to get in a relationship, even more so and the last day of my junior year with one of the most popular boys in my grade. I didn't have to worry about more questions from Brittany and Miles as the teacher walked in the told us to grab the project we had been working on. This was the last day to work on it, but you could always stay after school or spend time working on it at lunch hour. 

I was mid paint when Miles tilted over making sure the teacher was looking the other way, and then spoke into my ear. 

"So, now that you have two boys after you, are you gonna do something about it?"

I almost spilt the water for my paint when I reached down when his words hit. I spun to look at him, splattering him with paint in the process. My mouth was wide open and my eyes wide. He laughed while trying to wipe the drops of paint off his face. Then Brittany tapped my shoulder causing me to turn around the look at her. 

"Miles has a point Kit Kat. The only boy that has took interest in you that we would allow you to be with, was Jacob Salvador. But that was in freshman year, and for only two months before you guys broke up after you realized it "wasn't working".

I signed as I went back to my painting knowing that both Brittany and Miles would want to talk more at lunch, and I wouldn't be able to finish it later. I tried my best to focus back on my work, but the two would barley let me. 

As I did my final brush stroke, the bell rang singling lunch had began.  We cleaned up or art station and grabbed out bags before waving good bye to the teacher and going to to cafeteria to get our lunch. 

Brittany and Miles still tried to pry information out of me and continued to tease me about it while we walked down the hall. We were mid conversation when we heard a loud slam just ahead of us and a crowd gathered around where the sound came from. Brittany was the first to react, and was over to the group of people forming just as Miles and I relieved what was happening. We caught up with Brittany who was pushing her way through the crowd to get the centre to see what was going. When the people came into view, I first saw Cameron, with his mouth bleeding and him holding his jaw with on hand, while trying to protect himself with the other. The second person I saw, was none other than Noah Middleton. His one fist was shining red from Camerons blood and some of his own, but he didn't have a single scratch on him. 

Noah had that bad boy rap in the school for always getting into fights and never caring what other think about him or what he does. He had probably spent more time suspended and in detention than actually in school. Noah always hung out with his own group of guys and only two or three girls. He was also one of the heartbreakers at the school. I would emit it, he was really good looking, with his short wavy black hair, deep dark blue eyes , and muscular body. 

Noah hit Cameron again and he went down as Noah stood straight with a certain gleam in his eyes. It looked like the hadn't been fighting very long, since there wasn't a teacher there, and the group continued to fill up. Noah was about to hit Cameron again, and this time, Cameron was too focused on stoping the bleeding from coming out of his mouth. That's when Luke, Max, and Darren pushed through the crowd and Darren pushed him away. Noah however, was barely moved by Darrens shove, but Max and Luke had gotten Cameron up and away from him.

Brittany tried to get Max's attention and she had her worried face on wondering what would happen if the fight got bigger and if Max would join in. But I knew Mx wasn't that kind of guy and the thought barely stayed in my mind long. I turned my attention back to the boys to see Noah and Darren had started a stare down, and neither of them looked like they would back down. Darren was the one to speak up and edge Noah on.

"Calm down Middleton. Don't want to get detention on the last day of school."

Darren continued to stare Noah down trying to look scary and get Noah to back off, but he just smiled and spoke up.

"You're right Darren. I can beat up Cameron after school. They way I don't have to look bad in front of everyone, and then next time, you can join him."

Noah shoved Darren back, hard, and he fell back into the crowd. After Darren regained his balance, he was about to through a fist, when Luke grabbed his arm and pushed him to the side knowing that wouldn't end well for with of the boys. Darren stared at Luke but he spoke in a clam voice.

"Stop Darren. If you get in another fight, coach won't let you play next season."

This seemed to stop Darren and calm him down, because in the next few seconds, he was helping Cameron and going towards the nurse office with Luke following him behind. Max had headed over to where we were and started checking up on Brittany. Noah didn't seem scared or off at all. One of his friends had gone up to him and they were talking, and soon started walking down the hall. Soon the group of people had almost gone and the day went back like nothing had happened.

And I though today would be a relaxing last day of junior year...
