Chapter 3 Tight Embrace

As lunch rolled around I was starting to get worried. I hadn't seen Kyle anywhere. He wasn't in class, nor was he out roaming the hallways. This normally wouldn't have shocked me on any other day seeing as how he often skipped school. But since I saw him this morning I was feeling a little confused.

"Have any of you seen Kyle today? " I asked my three friends sitting with me at our lunch table.

"Not since you slapped the color out of his face this morning." Nikki's boyfriend Alex said laughing, "Why?"

"Well I haven't seen him all day." As these words came out of my mouth I noticed everyone around me faces become either blank or angry, making me a little uncomfortable between Nikki and the empty seat beside me where Kyle usually sat.

"Why do you care about him so much?" my friend Tess asked moving over to the seat next to me, "He treats girls like dirt."

Was this some kind of intervention? Were they soon going to make me burn pictures of him and write him letters I'll never send? "Kyle's just my friend." I said looking at each and every pair of eyes around me, "That's all."

But clearly no one believed me because all of them inhaled and then sighed in unison, "Come on Kacie, we all see the way you two look and act with each other, there is clearly something more."

I groaned loudly standing up, "What the hell is all y'alls problems? I don't want to be with Kyle." 

"We think you should try to go out with Justin Bay." Tess blurted out then immediately covered her mouth. 

That was the first time anyone had mentioned Justin all day and it caught me by surprise, "You mean the guy I met last night?" I asked glaring at Nikki who most likely came up with this fantastic plan.

"Um...yeah." Tess said looking embarrassed that she blurted out what she did, "Nik said that the two of you got very cozy last night." 

I couldnt believe this, I had just met the guy, I was deffinately not thinking about dating him, "Well Nikki is insane." I said finally walking away muttering to myself.

Were they insane? What kind of people could go from me being in love with kyle to wanting me to date justin bay. Justin bay the famous recording artist. Who also might I add is dating the female equivalent to him. She was the most beautiful girl in the entire world. She was a tall leggy brunette with the most piercing blue eyes.  Whereas I was a too tall fake blonde with poo colored brown eyes. She was everything I wanted to be.

As I was daydreaming about being Sam jackson I ran into something that seemed to be very male, and very familiar. When I looked up I looked into the green eyes that I had been looking for ever since I slapped the face they sat in. 

"Kyle thank god!" I said wrapping my arms tightly around him, "Where have you been?"

kyle looked down avoiding eye contact, "I was in the bathroom." He said trying to walk past me, which I didn't allow. 

"For four hours?" I asked moving his face to where it was looking at me. But was taken aback by the way he looked. He looked like crap. I mean he looked the same as he had this morning. His clothes hadn't changed and his hair was still perfect but there was something in his eyes that really got me, they were so...sad. And there was also a large bruise on his face from where i had hit him.

"Did I really hit you that hard?" I asked putting my hand to his face making him wince, that answered my question, "Oh my god I am so sorry!" I gasped wrapping him up into a big bear hug.

Kyle laughed nervously before wrapping his arms around me, "It really doesn't hurt that bad." he said into my hair, which had muffled his voice adorably. I hugged him tihter not wanting to let go of him, ever. I didn't care what anyone else said. Kyle was amazing.

"And, I love you." I whispered without running it past m brain first, and as kyle processed what I said I watched his face go through many emotions before landing on one I could not decipher. But luckily just then the two of us were literally saved by the bell. Within seconds people where rushing past us to get to their fifth hour classes, and Nikki came running up to me pulling Alex along behind her, making me realize that kyle and I were very much still attached.

"Well I see that the two of you made up." Nikki said bitterly as I pulled away from Kyle.

"Hey Nik, I see you've trimmed the branches off of the tree growing up your ass." Kyle said wrapping his arm around my shoulders the way he usually does, every day, "I've decided to blame you for my messed up face."

"What did I do?" Nikki screached, making Alex laugh slightly.

"You called me in the middle of the night to tell me that you guys spent the whole night with Justin Bay," he said crossing his arms, "You knew that I'd get Jealous." 

Nikki crossed her arms as well just as the two minute warning bell rang, something I've seen her do many times when she is about to tell a lie, "You are so full of it, I did not want you to get jealous. 

Kyle laughed loudly as my phone went off in my pocket, I pulled it out and looked at the screen where I saw a picture of Justin pop up, "Gotta take this," I said excitedly unraveling myself from my friends grasp and putting my phone to my ear as I walked away.

"Sorry to call you while you are still in school." I heard Justins voice say from the other side of the line, "But I just touhed down and needed to tell you something."

"Shoot." I prompeted curious to know what it could be.

"Well um..." Justin stumbled, "I'm sorry about this but, someone got a picture of us and it's kind of on all those trashy websites."

I froze, not quite comprehending what I was hearing, "What's the picture?" I asked.

The other end was silent for a moment, "I sent it to you." He said as my phone buzzed in my hand.

When I opened the message I saw a picture of Justin and I standing in line at the local Circle K in a, as they put it, "Tight Embrace."
