Chapter 9

The next day, Kaylee and Kal picked me up for school. As usual, Kaylee sat in the front and I sat in the back between Darcy and Dax. It was pretty quiet when all of a sudden Darcy's phone started to ring.

"Live While We're Young. Really?" Dax asked incredulously.

Darcy shot him a look and answered her phone. "Oh hi Austin, MY BOYFRIEND. How are you Austin, MY BOYFRIEND? Aww I miss you too Austin, MY BOYFRIEND."

Dax held his hand out, "Let me talk to Austin your "BOYFRIEND."

"Fine. Austin, MY BOYFRIEND, I'm gonna hand the phone over to an idiot who doesn't think you exist. So-. Huh that's weird," Darcy stared at her phone "I guess he lost service."

"That would require him existing in the first place."

Darcy leaned over me and grabbed onto Dax's shirt, "He exists dammit! Why can't you accept that I actually have a boyfriend?"

"Would you two just SHUT UP! It is way too early for this!" Kaylee yelled from the front seat.

"NO!" Darcy and Dax both yelled at once and went back to fighting. Well this was awkward. By now Darcy was practically choking Dax and Dax was trying to get her off him, and of course I was right in the middle of it.

"Don't make me come back there!" Kaylee warned.

"I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!" Darcy yelled as she grabbed onto Dax's shirt again. Oh, this was not gonna go well.

"FINE!" Kaylee yelled as she unbuckled herself and started to climb into the back seat.

"KAYLEE SIT DOWN DAMMIT!" Kal yelled as he slammed on the breaks. Kaylee flew forward and landed right on top of Dax. I turned my head just in time to see their lips meet.

"HOLY SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT!" Darcy started cracking up. "YOU GUYS JUST KISSED!"

"WHAT! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON BACK THERE?" Kal turned around to glare at us. "DAX WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?"

"NOTHING!" Dax was blushing like crazy and so was Kaylee. Kaylee, however, was also grinning like an idiot. "IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS!"

"IN WHAT UNIVERSE DOES THAT MEAN YOU CAN KISS MY SISTER?"

"I DIDN'T! I ALREADY TOLD YOU, I DON'T LIKE HER LIKE THAT!"

You could have heard a pen drop. Kaylee climbed back into the front seat and we rode the rest of the way to school in silence.

"I don't know what else I can do," Kaylee sobbed.

Right before study hall, the only period Kaylee had with Dax, Darcy and I had dragged her into the girls bathroom to talk. We had been in here for ten minutes, and Kal and Dax had texted us repeatedly trying to find out where we were. Since none of us were particularly happy with them right now none of us had answered. Normally, I would feel bad, but they made Kaylee cry. They could worry a little.

"He's an idiot Kaylee. I keep telling you that," Darcy handed her a tissue. "How else could he like TayWhore?" She noticed my confused look and clarified, "That idiot in American History that thought West Virginians married their cousins."

"Boys are stupid. They always have been and always will be. He doesn't know what he's missing!" I tried to comfort her.

"I know," Kaylee hiccuped. "I mean who could resist this?" She posed flirtily and motioned to herself.
