Opposites {Discontinued}

Chapter 2

Kyle's POV

August 25, 2013

So, I am sitting on the bus on the right side, about 5 seats back, a lot closer than I usually sit. My brother has been acting different ever since he broke up with his ex, Kelly. I remember how he called me frantically for a ride and when I asked him why he said he would tell me if I would give him a ride. So I got there as fast as I could, and when I looked up through Kelly's window, she had red underher eyes like she had been crying. I don't know what I felt, but all of a sudden I felt mad that my younger brother made Kelly cry, and that he was making a run for it. Right when he set foot in the car, I started to ask questions.

I first asked why he needed a ride, and he told me he had broken up with her because she had no freedom and it had pulled his last straw. When he had said that, the rest of the ride home I yelled at him for being such an asshole. Like, they are only 14 and 15. You dont get a lot of freedom at that age, and because of it, he had made her cry. I guess after 7 months of them dating, I kind of got a little attatched to her being happy. Like she was part of the family. I dropped him off at home, and then I drove off.

When I got back, Alec was desperately scraping at the windows, and I could see why. I could see red lipstick painted over the windows. I tried to read it, but all I can read was:

HOPE YOU GO AN FIND ONE GOOD A ME -KELLY

Kelly. Kelly had gotten revenge for my brother breaking up with her for as stupid as freedom. I didn't blame her. I saw that Alec hadn't seen me, so I took a ton of pictures without getting close to him. Finally, I walked up to him and he begged me to not to tell Mom and Dad, who werent going to back till tomorrow since they were with some old friends. I said sure and we both worked at cleaning it up. I still have the photos in my phone where I will show Kelly, the next time I see her.

I think I have gone crazy. I look out my window and out the window I see Kelly, with a striped shirt and some matching Vans. Also some jeans and a bow. I almost have a heart attack. Hell, what if she sees me and gives me those sad,'I wish Alec didnt break up with me' eyes? I would feel horrible and guilty. Hopefully she doesnt see Alec, who sat in the very back of the bus. She just got to the bus stop on time and now she was going down the aisle.

Yep, thats definitely Kelly. She dyed her hair to a darker brown, but that is about all that has changed. While I am looking at her, she sees me and smiles.I feel myself turn red. Then she goes faster down the aisle. Finally, she stops at my seat.

"Hey Kyle! Long time no see! Can I sit here with you? Or are you saving this seat for your friend?" Kelly says as her face glows. Hell, now I see probably one of the reasons Alec dated her. She is super pretty and nice and hyper up close. I smile at her.

"Sure, you can sit here with me"

"Thanks Kyle, your the best." she says, as she sits and puts her back pack next to her, so then her backpack is on the outisde, she is in the middle, and I am next to the window.

"So, how have you guys been?"she asks me.

For a second, I dont get what she means. Does she mean my whole family? Me? or Me and Alec?"What do you mean 'guys'? Do you mean me and Alec"

"Yea, you two. You guys do anything exciting during the summer?"

"I guess. We just went to the pool, saw movies at the movie theaters, went to parties. You know, the usual summer biz."

She winks and makes her hands do sideways L's "I get what you mean man." We both start laughing. She has a really cute and nice laugh.

*Skip to the last ten minutes of bus ride*

"Hey Kelly, can I show you some pictures, and you just dont say anything until I say you can?"

She looks super confused, but I have been wanting to show her forever. I swipe out my phone and go to my pictures folder. I open up to a month ago and go to the first picture I see of Alec at the window.

"Look, this was when you had your revenge on Alec. I didnt see what it originally said, but he was scraping and scraping at it when I got home. I am going to show you these pictures, but I want to show you one in particular, and I want you to answer some of my questions. Can you do that for me??" I look at her for approval, and she shakes her head yes. I scroll through the pictures I took, giving her about 30 seconds to look at each one max. Finally, we get to the particular one.

"Kelly, do you see his eyes?" I ask her, as I point at my brother, who had looked around at something in the picture. This was a good shot, and it showed his eyes perfectly.

"Yea, I see his eyes." She replies, but before coughing. I feel bad, looks like she is taking time to take this in.

"Can you tell me what emotions you see in them?"

She looks like she is concentrating on his eyes. "Ummm, I think I can see fright, worry, fear, annoyed, and... something, I just dont know."

"regret." I end her sentence for her."You also see regret. I think if you talk to him, and you be yourself, he will tell you that he still loves you, and I think deep in you you still do to."

She looks in my eyes and her eyes get watery."Thank you Kyle. That was one of the sweetest, nicest things anyone has ever told me in a very long time. Thanks for your support." I kind of get off guard, when she gives me a hug."Thank you. Really." And the bus slows down to a stop.

So, as we get off the bus, Kelly waves me goodbye, and I do the same. Bad time. As I wave at her, looks like Alec saw me wave at her, so he came up to me from behind me and whispered,

"What the helll were you talking to my ex for?!? And why did you wave at her?"

I feel so mad. He broke up with her, and now he gets all emotion when another guy just waves at her? Fuck, good thing he didnt see or hear our conversation."Why the hell do you care? She IS your ex. You guys arent together. Can't I just talk to a girl who, listen to this Alec, who is now on our bus?"

He freezes still for a moment, and then he stomps off. Oh, fuck him. It's not my problem he doesnt get what 'I want to break up with you' means. I get my stuff and stroll over to my first period. Algebra. Where, I get greeted by a little, 'surprise'.
