Kaylee always wanted to be loved, to be valued, and to be noticed. Nick wanted the same. When the first day of school came, Kaylee noticed all the girls obsessing over Nick, but Nick is the schools biggest weirdo! Nick had a glow up, and one person...
I miss Kaylee. It's been two days and she hasn't showed up to school.
I'm in pain.
I have a shit ton of bruises on my back and I miss Kaylee.
Why do I feel this way?
It's like every time I think of her, I get this feeling in my stomach... people call it butterflies.
Some people call it a crush.
I couldn't have a crush on Kaylee.. she's the popular girl and im the nerd! It's basically your stereotypical high school kids.
But I can't like her, and she can't like me.
It will ruin her reputation.
I'm gonna call her.
I wait for her to pick up.
"H-hello?" I can her Kaylee crying on the other end.
"Kaylee? It's Nick. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. What do you want."
Oh.
"Uhm, you haven't been showing up to school and I've been worried about you. Are you sure you're okay? I can come over if you want! I mean, if not that's-."
"I dont need you to come over. Just... I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye."
"Oh, by-." Before I can even finish my sentence, she hangs up.
Does she hate me? Am i really getting that annoying? Is it the way I look? Maybe I should change.
Whatever. Just go to bed. Forget about it.

The next morning I wake up to 19 missed called from Kaylee.
Fuck.
I call her back right away and she picks up.
"Hello?! Kaylee are you okay?" I ask while shaking.
"Nick." I can hear her sobs through the phone.
"K-Kaylee? What's wrong, love?" holy shit. Did I just call her love?? Oh my god so embarrassing.
"M-mom."
"What about mom? Your mom? Is she okay?"
"She's....."
"Take your time, Kay."
"She's gone. She died a few days ago."
Oh god.
That's why she's been ignoring me.
I feel like such a dick.
"I'm so sorry Kaylee."
"It's my fault."
"What?"
"It's my fault she's gone. I left her alone all those days"
"Kaylee, im gonna come over, okay?"
"Okay."
"I'll be right over, I'm gonna hang up now. Okay?"
"Okay. Goodbye. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Bye"
I hang up and rush over to her house.
I don't care about stop signs, I don't care about red lights, I don't even care about people crossing the street.
I only care about Kaylee.
