Stars in the Darkness

16. Just Best Friends, Is That All We Will Ever Be?

Kyle and I walked out of that 'school' and on to his bus, psh, no way I'm going home after what happened. Just not yet. Got to let things get settled down first, then I'll go back.

Sliding into his seat with him he pulls out his phone and plugs in headphones. He puts one in my ear and he chooses some songs.

He starts to play Pierce the Veil, that doesn't surprise me. It's one of his top favorite bands, as is mine. It seems perfect, he plays 'Tangled in the Great Escape'. There's one part in this song that just sends chills up and down my spine. It's that good and it's scary.

I hear Kyle's low hum and I let out a little laugh. He looks over at me with a confused feature, oops.

"What's funny?" I smile and sit how he is and starts to hum like he did a few seconds ago. He obviously gets it.

"Oh shut up.." He says giving me a light shove. I crinkle my nose and shake my head at him.

"I won't, I'm just that nice if a friend." A friend. Is that what I think of Kyle? I know I shouldn't but, just what is he too me. Like he is a YouTuber, he always makes me smile when I'm sad, through electricity screen or in person.

"Psh a friend? No, your not a friend to me," I gasp, I feel my face get flushed, "your my best friend!" He says acting like a young child would when they tell someone they are there best friend, though they tell everyone that.

"Yaaay," I hold my hand up for a high five, "besties!" I squeal. He high fives me back and we start laughing at the most random times. Like I might see a squirrel on the street, alive, and I will start laughing.

But in the back of my mind I was thinking..was Kyle just as a friend to me? I don't think he is, but if that is how he thinks about me..well then that's how it's going to be then. 

Just best friends.

Just that.

Can I handle that? I don't know if I can..

Getting dropped at his block we go out and head toward his house. He comes behind me then too my side, guess I should ask.

"What kind of video games you have Kyle?" I simply ask, he fixes his beanie and looks back at me.

I know that wasn't the question I was going to ask, but..

"I have a lot of Nintendo games, most of them actually.." He admits laughing nervously. I roll my eyes, a guy and his video games but, I don't blame him, it's the same for me.

"Sameeee.." I say taking abnormal steps, this heat is terrible, ugh.

"Am I going to be surprised if you beat me?" He asks, a small twinkle is in his eyes.

"You shouldn't be," I walk up to his door and open it. Inside there was his mother passed out on the couch and a phone in her hand. That's odd, she doesn't normally use the phone. Not unless it's something really important.

Kyle picks up the phone and looks at the users identification and the number.

"It's unknown, that's odd," he points out, maybe it was just a sales person trying to get her to buy something.

"Well, ask your mom when she wakes up," I head up to his room and plop my stuff down. Oh yeah, mental reminder: don't forget Penny Board. You need that.

I turn on the Wii he has and look through the games he has. He wasn't kidding when he said he had almost all of them. I pull out a favorite, one that me and my dad use to play. Before he went down the drain and changed majorly.

Kyle comes in and sees my choice. "Oh you like karting? Psh, I'm going to beat you easily."

"Is that a change Mr. Hall?" I say sliding in the disk, the blue light comes on and I grab two Wii controllers.

"Of course it is, Miss Aster," he says smiling, taking the controller we start to play. And one word to describe how it went.

Intense.

Both of us were either first or second, we were on each other's rears, just waiting for the other too fall. Or get hit with a blue shell, which I, of course, got all of them.

"What the heck another one?!" I yell hearing the loud warning sound going off. This is the third one on this freaking course!

"Ah hahahaa!" Kyle laughs, he shifts pass me taking the lead. I keep going, I take a question box and hope for something good. A shell or banana, I could hit him or make him stall. Guess what it was, three banana's.

"Watch out Kyle," I say fast, I pound the control and throw all three bananas. Pew, pew, pew! Then plop, plop, plop. Right in front of him.

"What-wait whoa, whoa!" He slides on the all three bananas. Score. "Rosalina!" He complains. I laugh and go by him taking first place and keeping it.

I put the controller down and smile over at him. He looks away with his arms cross and cheeks puffed out. Aw, he looks so cute. But then again, when doesn't he?

I poke his cheek, trying to make him look back over but he doesn't. Did I actually make Kyle David Hall mad? I poke his cheek again, still nothing.

I did.

"Kyle..." I'm quite worried now, I didn't think I'd make him this angry. I just, wanted to play video games with him..

Good job Rosalina.

"I'm going to get something to drink..," I say quietly, going down the stairs I go to his fridge and pull out a bottle of water.

I see his mom left the couch, so it's my turn to lay down. Opening the water I take a long swig until I can't hold my breath anymore. Stupid Rosalina. You made Kyle mad. Really mad. I didn't mean too. But, it happened..

"I'm a terrible best friend.." I whimper, I let the water bottle slip from my hands on to the ground. I'll go up later, once he has cooled off..

Kyle's P.O.V.

Rosalina has been down there for a while now, or did she leave? I jump up from the ground and look outside, her Penny Board is still there. She didn't leave, yet.

Letting out a heavy sigh I am relieved. I'm glad she didn't leave yet, I like having her around. She's nice company..

"But you did let your stubbornness get to you," I say slapping my forehead. I got to apologize to her, before she leaves.

Well the sooner the better right? Right.

Standing up I head down and see the fridge door open, psh, she forgot to close it. I close it and look around for her, she isn't in the kitchen, or in the bathroom. Then it hit me, on the couch of course.

Going over I see her, she is curled up against the back of the couch. I see a shining line near her eye, she was crying?

I made her cry.

Oh Kyle.. Stupid. Stupid.

I look down at my penguin socks, I guess I was to harsh. On both of us. Mostly her though. I play with her hair while she kept sleeping, she looks so peaceful. She is so perfect, no matter what other people say. Or even herself.

I guess, she is more then a best friend to me. I guess..

I kiss her forehead and start to walk off, a hand wraps around my wrist and makes me stop from leaving.

"Stay.." Her voice was tired but I smile, I slide my hand down to hers and hold it.

"Okay.."
