The Unexpected.

8|Confessions.

I woke up in my bed to the sound of my alarm ringing. I threw a pillow on top of my phone, hoping it would mute the sound, I was wrong. The alarm continued to ring until I picked my head up and pressed the 'off' button. I threw my head back into my pillow and looked towards the ceiling. Everything that happened yesterday felt like a dream. The kiss, felt like a dream. The fight not so much.

I was still getting messages from Taylor, asking me to forgive her and that she was in the wrong. I felt guilty. Really fucking guilty. I should be the one apologizing to Taylor and Liza.

Although the kiss I had with Liza was magical, I knew it wasn't right. Atleast not now. I picked up my phone and saw the time, realizing that I was about to be late to school.

I immediately stood up and went to take a quick shower. The shower obviously lasted longer than I hoped, mostly because I was thinking about what I was gonna do once I showed up to school and saw Liza and Taylor. I quickly changed into my clothes.

Right before I walked out the door I put my back pack on my back and grabbed my skateboard. I normally don't skate to school, but my mom was pissed at me for some reason and she didn't want to drive me to school.

I walked outside the house and walked a little before putting my skateboard down and hopping on it. It was pretty hot outside so my hair dried in the sun. I finally arrived at school, barely on time. I hopped off my skateboard and made my way to my classroom.

On my way to class, I ran into Jake. He looked at me and put up a peace sign.

"Hey bro. What's up? " I spoke out.

"Nuthin' much. Wanna ditch class?" He smirked.

I mean, it's not gonna hurt if I ditch one class right? I hate history anyways.

"Yeah, where you wanna go?"

"Come, I know a spot" He said before turning to walk out of the school.

I followed behind him and left the school. I'm surprised how nobody just caught us walking out of the school. I forgot how good this feeling felt, ditching class and having fun with my bro.

On our way to Jake's so-called 'spot' we talked about the things that occurred yesterday.

"Sooo, you gon' apologize to Taylor?" He looked at me.

"Well first, I'm gonna break up with her... Even though I think yesterday was a very clear sign I didn't want to be with her. And then I'm gonna apologize to Liza. She didn't deserve what happened to her yesterday. She doesn't deserve me" I looked down disappointed.

"Look bro, if I'm gonna be for real with you, go for it with Liza," He had a very serious look on his face, a look I haven't seen in ages.

"Man, fuck Taylor. Why'd you even get with her in the first place?"

The sudden question made me get lost in my thoughts. Why did I get with her. I started talking to her after me and Liza first encountered each other at the snackbar line. We talked in the halls before I went to AP Calc. We only talked for like 2 days before we apparently started 'dating', and honestly I don't even remember asking her out but apparently it was at that party. And I was drunk.
