BE NEAR

Not talking

She has to be here.

"Buzz, where is Katherine?" I ask him. He starts to bark and run to behind a big tree. She was hiding?

I follow Buzz behind the tree. I see her, but when she notices, she starts to walk fast in the opposite direction. "Kat!"

"Kat!" I try again and run after her. She only walks faster, and then starts to run herself. Wow, she is fast.

"Oh, come on Kat, wait!" I say and she finally stops and turns around. "I'm not talking to you," she says and avoids eye contact. "Then why are you doing it?" I try to lighten the mood but se only rolls her eyes.

"Say what you where going to say, so I can go," she says. I try to find the bracelet in my pocket but it's gone. No, it can't be gone, I had it seconds ago!

She sighs and begins to walk away. "Wait, Kat. Are you mad at me?" I ask, even though it's obvious.

She doesn't answer.

"I saw you. I saw you kissing her, okay? Even though I want to be near you, it hurts. I thought you liked me.." The last sentence comes out as a whisper.

Instead of answering her, I just walk over to her and kiss her. I have waited long to do that.

But it didn't work so well.

She breaks the kiss by pushing me, and then she glares. I frown as she takes Buzz with her and walk out of the park. I stare at her as long as I can see her. I begin walking out of the park.

I look at the grass the whole time, when I see something shine in it. It's the bracelet. Of course. I pick it up, take it in my pocket and walk out of the park. This time I don't take a taxi, I just walk to the boys.

I walk away, angry. I want to avoid that the kiss felt amazing, but I can't. He hurts me, then kisses me, when I am clearly mad at him, and I liked the kiss.

I saw it on him that he had something more to say, but I just couldn't stand to be there anymore after he kissed me. Why would he do that?

I open the door to my house and storm to my room. I bury my head into the pillow and begin to cry. I have never cried because of a boy before. Maybe because I haven't liked anyone else than him..

..

The next day I wake up, and I already know without looking in the mirror that I am a mess.

I walk to the kitchen in the pajamas. Mom is making breakfast. "Hey, Katherine. Are you sick?" She says and looks at me. "I don't know, I don't feel very well," I half lie. I don't feel well, but that's because of him, not that I am sick.

"Maybe you should stay home today?" She asks and I nod. I walk to the couch and lay on it. I fell asleep in a second.

I search for Kat like I always do, but it seems like she is not coming today. Or she is avoiding me. It rings and I walk disappointed to class.

After class I decide to look for Lizzy. I watch Kat often enough to know that's her friend. I don't follow her everywhere though, I just see her often..

I see Lizzy. She is talking to a girl and when the girl sees that I'm coming she goes. " See you later, Lizzy." She says and walks away.

Lizzy turns around and when she sees it's me, she glares. "Can I help you?" She asks. "Yes you can. Is Kat sick?" I ask.

"Yes, she is." She says without looking at me. "Could you tell me where she lives? Or give me her number?"

She stays quiet. "Please? Look, it wasn't me. She kissed me, I-"

"I know." She says. "Really?" I ask. "Yeah. I know you wouldn't do that. I see it on the little look in your eyes." She says and smiles.

"Well, if you know then why do you act like that?" I ask. "I don't know, being mad for her I guess. That's what friends do." I smile and she gives me Kat's address and her number.

..

After school I walk to her house. It's kind of far from where I am staying. Lizzy said I shouldn't text her so I didn't. She is a good friend to Kat, I am glad she has her as a friend.

When I think I found her house, I have to check where Lizzy wrote it down, to be sure it is the right number. When I see it is the right number I walk over.

I take a deep breath, and knock on the door.
