Staying Strong

Six

"Antonio? What are you doing here?" I shook my head.

"Bella invited me!" His face showed pride. "Oh well someone has to talk to me about something so...uh bye." I started to walk away but he grabbed my arm, "Diana.." I looked at Kyle hoping he'd make eye contact, unfortunately he didn't. "What? How did Bella invite you anyways?"

"She said she looked at your blocked numbers, which can explain why you seen answering my calls." His voice trailed off.

"I had a right to block your number, you took advantage of me, I should've known you were one of those guys." I rolled my eyes looking at Kyle, this time he was making eye contact with me. I mouthed the words, "Help me." He understood and came up to me.

"Hey baby." He had his arm on my shoulder. Right away I knew what was going on.

Antonio's eyes widen, his face went pale, "You have a boyfriend?" He questioned.

I wrapped my arms around Kyle's neck and kissed him on the lips, pulling back before anything else happened. "Does that answer your question?" I smirked and walked away.

Kyle and I walked far enough that we couldn't hear the music and the fire looked like an ember.

"That. Was. Amazing!!!!!" I jumped in the air smiling ear to ear.

Kyle chuckled and kicked the sand.

"No but really, thank you Kyle." I smiled.

He ignored me. "Diana sit down will you?" Kyle sat down on the sand and I sat down next to him.

For a minute we were only looking at the night sky, with hundreds of stars, and a the water imagining the reflection of the full moon.

I broke the tension with a cough. Kyle sighed.

"Diana I've been meaning to talk to you about something." Kyle was playing with his fingers. "I well uh, I feel closer to you...somehow I don't know maybe it was Daniel that brought us closer together or the way you bring out the good side to everyone. Maybe you haven't noticed but whenever you talk to someone the first word you say to anyone a smile enters their faces." Kyle grabbed my hand.

"Kyle, I um don't know what to say." I laugh.

"Call me crazy, but I've been noticing every detail. The way you act with your friends versus the way you act with close friends." Kyle lets go of my hands.

I don't say anything in return. What possibly can I say back. I've never had anyone come out to me like that.

I lean on his chest and sigh. Kyle arm wraps around me and we stay there for what seems like forever.

"You probably don't even feel the same way. Yes, I'm immature and all but I guess no one has ever seen my other side." Kyle pulls me closer.

"Kyle I-" my phone buzzes.

Bella: where are you??

Me: with Kyle. You kinda interrupted something ! -.-

Bella: hehe oops! well hurry and come back it's like 1 in the morning and we have to get back.

I lock my phone and look up at Kyle, he was looking at the water and the waves getting closer.

"Kyle" I whisper, "it's late and Bella said we should go back to the bon-fire.

"Hm." He looked at me with a smile and helped me get up. We started walking towards the bon-fire, talking about things like our classes, our teachers, and Anthony because who doesn't want to talk about Anthony. Sarcasm.

We made it back in time before Jason put out the fire. We all walked back to the car laughing, we were so wild I think we were drunk... with food!

We came in two separate cars basically all the girls and all the guys. Kyle was driving and in the passenger seat was Daniel, in the back it was Jason, Antonio and Anthony.

In our car Victoria was driving and I was in the passenger seat, Bella, Addie and Lillian were in the back.

Me: Lena! You awake?

Lena: hey hoe.

Me: hey whore, can you wait for me outside its dark and I'm almost home.

Lena: ugh, the things I do for you.

Lena and I live in the same street, which is easy for both of us because we could walk to school together and back. We wouldn't have to waste so much time during sleepovers because Bella would be at our house in like 10 minutes.

Me: where are you?

Lena: in the dark reading Fanfiction *moon emoji*

Me: dude same. no but really Victoria is coming into the street rn.

Victoria pulls over at the curb and I see Lena waiting for me on the steps of my house she wasn't lying, she was sitting in the dark reading fan-fiction.
"Bye guys! I'll text you later." I waved and closed the car door.

"About time I finished the book." Lena locked her phone and stood up.

"It wasn't that long!" I rolled my eyes playfully. "Sorry I didn't invite you. But I'll make it up."

"Sure you will." Lena yawned. "Okay so you're safe, you didn't get raped and I'm tired as f*ck so peace out." Lena hugged me before she left.

I went inside my room falling into my bed. Ugh, I missed my bed! I changed into my Captain America pajamas threw my clothes on the chair, you know the chair where all your clothes is at and its literally a pile of unwashed clothes, I pulled my covers over my face about to go to sleep until my phone buzzes.

Kyle: you down to go to a party tomorrow night ;)
