On The Line

What is Happening?

Mitch's POV:

Scott left the school building first followed by Travis and I. I was getting worried about Scott, he hadn't said a word yet and we were almost at his house. "So Scott, Mitch told me you guys met at CATS... You sing?" Travis asked. I heard him scoff and mumble something I couldn't make out. "Come again?" I say. "Noting Mitch. And yeah we met a few years ago and became best friends instantly." Scott said quietly. Scott was never a quiet person. "Well here's my place. See you, Mitch!" He said and left to inside his house. "He doesn't seem like the person you described, Mitch." Travis mentioned, "Yeah, I don't know what happened today." I shrugged "Hey there's my house coming up. Brace yourself for my parents."

Sure enough Travis was questioned and looked upon like a zoo animal. I had to pry him from my parents grasp and lead him to my room. "Nice place Mitch." he said looking around my room. "Thanks. Uh, Scott helped out with my room." I laughed a bit. "You and Scott are really close." "I guess, it's always been that way. We just click." "Do we click?" Travis asked. "I'm not sure. I'd need more time with you." I saw him smile and say, "I would like that." We spent most of the time just talking and telling jokes until my dad reminded us what we were supposed to be doing in the first place. "Okay, so our sculpture should be a mic mixed with turntables. Or a big music note... That should be easy?" I say as my phone vibrates. It was Scott.

Scoot:

3:23 - Are you done?

3:30 - Is your new friend still there?

3:36 - Hello??

4:00 - Really Mitchell?

4:05 - Fine. Fuck it. Bye!

"You should reply to him," Travis started to say, "I can see it's tearing you apart." I sighed. He was right. Scott never called me Mitchell. I was scared that our friendship was on the rocks again. "I don't want to be rude. I'd be distracted and won't get work done." "We have gotten pretty far considering this project is due at the end of the month." he shrugged. He was right. "Ok. I'll text him."

Mitchie:

4:15 - Hey Scoot.

4:18 - Scooter?

4:22 - I'm replying back to you!

4:23 - Are we really doing this?

Scoot:

4:23 - Yes.

"UGH!" "What's wrong?" Travis said worriedly. "Nothing. I-I think I messed up." "He'll come around..." I sighed as my phone continuously vibrated.

Scoot:

4:35 - Mitchie, Im sorry.

4:35 - I fucked up. Idk what's wrong w/ me.

4:36 - You mean the world to me, idk what I'd do if I lost you to HIM.

Kirstie:

4:35 - Are you & Scotty ok?

4:38 - What's going on?!!!!!

Mitchie to Scoot:

I'm sorry too Scoot. He will never replace u OR come in between us!

Mitchie to Kirstie:
Idk... wait how do u know something was happening?

"I'm gonna head out! I'll see you at school?" Travis said as he got up from my desk chair. "Sure." And with that he left me to texting my best friends.

Mitchie:

Sleepover @ my place?

Scoot:

I'm in, be there soon.

Kirstie:

I am omw!

Not even 20 minutes later there was a knock on my door. In walks my dad with Scott by his side. "I'm guessing you called for company this week?" "Maybe." I say with a smile. "Kirstie is on her way too, so be expecting a--" The door bell rang. "That would be her." My dad went to answer the door as Scott and I set up the movies, blankets, and pillows. "I'm glad you aren't pissed at me." "I can't stay mad at you Mitchie!" "The party has arrived!" yelled Kirstie as she entered my room. "Party? Is that what you call yourself Kit Kat?" "Duh! I am one." She said as she pouted. "So we have about 2 hours before dinner is ready... Which movie first?" I asked as I held up Rent, Chicago, Mean Girls, and 2 other movies.

"Mean Girls" Scott & Kirstie said in unison. "Mkay. Scoot, you put it in!" I say as I toss the DVD to him across my bed. I hear Kirstie snicker. We both looked at her confused, "What's so funny?" "Scoot, put it in" she mocked. Oh Lord. "That's what she... I mean he said." she finished. "Kirstie..." Scott whined as his face turned an odd shade of red. "Not my fault. Mitchell said it!" She said poking her tongue out at him. He sighed and continued to set up the movie as I layed in my bed and Kirstie stretched out in a pile of bean bags near me. When Scott was done he peered down at me in bed and told me to scoot over. I gladly made room on my bed for him.

We were halfway through the movie when I felt something shift under me. I looked up and saw that I was resting half of my body on his and my head had been on his chest. I quickly moved myself away and apologized. "It's o--" "TIME FOR DINNER GUYS!" my mom yelled. Scott was the first out the door again, like at school today. "Ya know, you guys would be cute!" Kirstie said as she showed me pictures she took as Scott and I 'cuddled'. In one photo he was looking down at me. He had known but didn't attempt to move or tell me to get off. What was happening..?
