Chapter Twenty One

Hey guys! I have a new story out, It's called Give It A Shot. It's a really cool Peterick AU, and I'd love it if you guys checked it out!

You'll finally meet Ray (briefly) in this chapter!

NEW POLITICS' ALBUM CAME OUT YESTERDAY AND MY CD IS COMING IN THE MAIL IN LIKE AN HOUR I CAN'T WAIT I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO IT YET GAH

As I was shoving my books into my locker while taking out my lunch, I felt a pair of hands gently wrap around my waist. I turned around to see Mikey with a smirk on his face. "Hey."

I giggled. "Hi." He went to go kiss me, but before anything could really happen, Forrest yelled in my ear.

"Gross! PDA!" I turned around to glare at him.

"Hey, fuckface, could you not yell in my ear?" I rolled my eyes.

He groaned. "Could you guys not makeout right by my locker?"

Mikey snickered. "Aw, is Forrest jealous because he can't get some?"

I put my hand on Mikey's chest. "Hey now, no need to be rude. The truth can hurt."

Forrest groaned from beside us again. "Guys, please shut up."

"Oh, maybe-"

"I said to shut up" He yelled and slammed his locker shut, before running in the opposite way of the cafeteria. I immediately closed my locker and went after him, Mikey following close behind.

"Hey Forrest, we didn't mean to-"

He whipped around and you could see the look of hurt in his eyes. "Just, I'd rather not talk about Cassey. Okay?"

I shook my head. "No. You two need to stop thinking that the other person doesn't like you and just get together-"

"I've missed my chance, Kris!" He cried and put his back against the lockers. "I've been in love with her since the start of high school, but I've always been too scared to do anything! And now I never will!" He slumped to the floor, and I crouched down to put a hand on his shoulder.

"What happened?"

He shook his head. "You know that new kid, Brendon?"

"You mean the total fuckboy?" Mikey interrupted.

He nodded. "Yeah, him. I went to go get a new pair of drumsticks from the band closet because mine broke and I'm too lazy to actually buy them. But I walked in and Brendon had her pushed up against the wall, and they were kissing and I just- I didn't say or do anything. I just turned around and ran away because that's all I know how to do, apparently."

I sighed. "Dude, I know Cassey, and I know that she's madly in love with you, too-"

He snapped his head up, and you could see his eyes were beginning to turn red. "Wait really?"

I nodded, just as the late bell for lunch went off. I stood up, and Mikey and I helped Forrest get up. "I have no idea why she would kiss Brendon, but I'll talk to her about it during lunch, okay?"

He sniffled as the three of us began to walk to lunch. "Thanks, Kris."

We made our way into the cafeteria, and while Forrest and Mikey got in line to buy lunch, I took the opportunity to talk to Cassey.

"Sooo," I drew out the o's, "how are you?"

She gave me a skeptical look. "I'm okay, why?"

I turned to face her. "Some little birdy told me that you have the hots for the new guy."
