On The Line

Big Let Down

Scott's POV:

It's now the end of the month. Our choir project is due today and we had only practiced maybe 5 times throughout the month. Why? Because Mitch has a new boyfriend who is more important. Mitch hasn't been able to hang out with me or Kirstie in weeks because, of course, his new boyfriend. Anywhere Mitch goes guess who has to tag along? 'Travey'.

I walked through the front doors of the school with Kirstie. Mitch hasn't walked with us since 'Travey' and his mom started picking him up. It's like Mitch forgot all about us. Forgot about me. He has said that Travis would never come in between us, yet that is exactly what is happening. "Kit Kat, I am really not looking forward to choir. We would be BS'ing it." I stated. "Hey, we'll be alright! Especially since you can actually snap and clap with that brace off." That was the only good part. I had my brace taken off a few days ago, now I just needed to keep it wrapped up. "I guess. Let's hope Mitch remembered his part." I say as the bell rang for first period. "Well, see you later!" Then we parted ways. I was on my way to English, the class I happen to share with Mitch when I heard arguing around the corner. I moved closer to hear what was happening. "You know our project is due tomorrow and you haven't even done anything to help! Every time you come over you always get calls to leave early. I've done pretty much everything!" "Babe, stop whining. I'll do my part today. Why do you care now that I leave your house early? Do you not trust me?" Wait.. Is that Travis and Mitch? I walked around to see Mitch with his back towards me with his hands on his hips. I saw Travis peer around him and look at me, "Yes? Do you need something Scott?" I shook my head and went into the classroom.

About a minute later Mitch came strutting in. He looked tired. He sat in his seat next to me and put his head down. "Uh. You okay Mitch?" "No Mitchie?" "Not right now. Do you seriously expect me to call you that when you've been ditching Kirstie and I for a month." I sighed, "Mitch. I don't want to argue with you right now, especially after you and Travis had your thing in the hall." "That was nothing. You should mind your business." I raised my eyebrows at him, shrugged, then turned to the board. If that's what I get for caring about him, then screw it.

Mitch's POV:

I didn't want to come off so rude, I was just frustrated. I have been working non-stop on my art project since Travis is never there to do his part. He always gets a phone call or a text and has to leave. He never wants to get started right away either, he'll ask to watch a movie or make out, stuff like that. He is working my nerves lately and I don't want him to because I really think I like him.

He treats me well. The dates are always amazing. He keeps my mind off of Scott. Oh gosh. My eyes widen. Our trio for choir! That's today! I've been so caught up I forgot all about it. As soon as I was about to speak up the bell rang. Had I been in my head all that time or was class cut short? I was still sitting when I got pulled out of my chair. "OW!" "We're having a fire drill, geez, pay attention" Scott said then walked away with Kirstie. Some best friend he is! I rolled my eyes and wandered around to try to find my boyfriend.

I was about to give up when a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. "Hey there." he said. I turned in his arms, "Hey, how'd you find me?" "I have my ways." he said with a smirk then kissed me. Just go with it Mitch. Truth is every time Travis and I kiss, I feel uncomfortable. It's not that I'm scared or nervous, it just doesn't feel right... Almost as if it were with the wrong person?

Well the fire drill ended, class was over, and the day went by faster than usual so as of now, I am in choir. I am nervous as hell. "Kirstieee! I feel sick." I say, "That tends to happen, especially if you don't practice enough." she said then turned back to watch the other groups perform. Throughout this month it seems Kirstie and Scott have been distant towards me. Scott officially moved seats in choir, he sits with another baritone while Kirstie sits by some girl they started hanging with, I think her name's Genevieve or something like that. But today we were back together and it almost felt normal, excluding the awkward silence that we had going on at the moment.

"Now for our trio singing 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga and Beyonce'" Ms.Hopkins said overly excited.

We all walked onto the performance stage and gave it our best. Too bad my best was terrible. I was off key, I wasn't harmonizing in parts, I just sucked. I let Scott and Kirstie down.

I was a big let down...
