did your dad do that Kat and Bryant

why you do that

The next day at school, Kat felt a knot in her stomach as she walked into class. She spotted Bryant sitting at his usual desk, his eyes focused on his notebook. He looked up briefly, their eyes meeting for a split second before he quickly looked away. Kat felt a pang of sadness and regret, wishing things could go back to the way they were. She took a deep breath and walked to her seat, trying to ignore the whispers and curious glances from their classmates. The teacher's voice droned on, but Kat couldn't concentrate. Her mind kept drifting back to the previous night, to the words left unsaid and the emotions that still lingered. She glanced at Bryant again, wondering if he felt the same way, if he was as confused and hurt as she was. The bell rang, signaling the end of class, and Kat gathered her things slowly, hoping for a chance to talk to him. But Bryant was already out the door, leaving her with a sense of unfinished business and a heart full of questions.

Kat caught up to Bryant in the hall, her heart racing. "Hey, what was last night?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion and hurt. Bryant looked at her, his expression conflicted. "Nothing. We just... I just can't," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Kat's frustration bubbled over. "Why? We kissed and touched and then you ditched me," she said, her eyes searching his for answers. Bryant sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's complicated, Kat. I have a lot going on right now, and I can't give you what you need," he said, his voice strained. Kat felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes. "But I need to understand, Bryant. You can't just leave me hanging like that," she pleaded. He looked at her, his eyes filled with sadness. "I'm sorry, Kat. I really am. But I have to figure things out on my own," he said before turning and walking away, leaving Kat standing in the crowded hallway, feeling more alone than ever.
