High School Screw Ups

Chapter 9-Back to School

~Kyle~

I walk through the front doors, I'm so nervous to see her, what if she sees me and all she sees is me hanging there and doesn't want to speak to me. What if she regrets kissing me, does the kiss mean we're dating now? Does she like me that way? I mean kisses mean different things to different people. What does it mean to her? What does it mean to me? Kyle stop, calm down. You know what it means to you, you felt something and you well you love her... I love her. I just don't know if she loves me back. What am I thinking of course she doesn't. Holy shit there she is... She's so beautiful, the sun reflects perfectly on her. Her face perfectly done and her beautiful hair falling on her shoulders perfectly. So much perfection. I'm screwed. She's walking over, shit, shit, shit. "Hey Kyle", she says, "hey", I stumble out. "look about the other nigh-" she cuts me off pressing her lips into mine, I let out a sigh of relief. My head clears as I look into her eyes, "I don't care, I just want you to get better" she whispers as Emily walks over. "Sorry am I interrupting something", Emily asks giggling. Charlotte glares at her and Charlotte hugs me goodbye as they go to Health. Now I'm off to health with Riley...

"Hey, heard you and Charlotte are a thing now", is the first thing I hear as I walk into class. "Let me guess Emily", I ask Riley almost rhetorically, he laughs and he get out our work. We start going into a discussion about sexuality (we're studying Kaitlyn Jenner coming out as transgender at the moment) and then Riley change the topic asking me about Emily. We start talking about how they always fight because Riley doesn't think he can help Emily with her... condition and we talk for a while about how he can help her, like I used to really. We start to wrap up the conversation and the bell goes, I have Maths next with Charlotte.

~Riley~

I get to school and see Emily so I walk over but her attention has been caught by something else, I ask what she's looking at but she just points, I look over and... Is that? Kyle and Charlotte? Making out? "When did this happen", I ask Emily without taking my eyes off them, without missing a beat she replies, "Friday night, she stayed at his", "wait you don't think they... you kno-", she cuts me off replying, "she reassured me they haven't and really, it's Charlotte." That's a good point, Charlotte has always been more conservative, I mean kissing people totally fine but sex? Nah not her. "Okay babe well I need to go see miss Lé Fay abut my music assignment, I'll catch up with you later", "Okay", Emily says as she leans up to peck me on the lips quickly. I like Charlotte and Kyle together, they're a cute couple. It will be interesting to hear Kyle's take on it.

~20 minutes later~

"Hey, heard you and Charlotte are a thing now", I tell Kyle with one eyebrow raised. He immediately knows it was Emily who told me, "Who else?", I sarcastically reply. "We should get onto Kaitlyn Jenner", he replies with a wink. We laugh and start answering questions about Kaitlyn Jenner's sex change. "Hey has Emily spoken to you much recently?" I pry at Kyle, he says they haven't spoken much but he knows we've been fighting a bit. "I don't know what to do... I love her it's just so fucking hard, I don't know how to help her, how do you do it? You're always there for her, it's almost like I'm her friend and you're the boyfriend." He rolls his eyes and me and I realize how stupid I sound. "So I just need to be there?", I ask. "Just be there for a while, until she improves there's not much else you can do, you just need patience." Kyle explains. *sigh* "I can do that..." The bell rings as we finish our conversation. I pack up my stuff and I'm off to S+E.

~Charlotte~

Health was actually fun today, we were talking about healthy relationships and we were just colouring in butterflies and grasshoppers and all sorts that we'll apparently use next lesson. The whole lesson Emily and I talked about PLL (pretty little liars) theories. It was great! In maths I pretty much spent the session doing my music assignment that is due tomorrow and passed notes with Kyle :3. The teacher caught us at some point but we just got told off a little, nothing major. The real fun started at morning break. I went to the bathroom once we got out of Maths and then went to the music room instead of meeting up with the others because I have my assignment to finish and to my surprise Kyle was already there... With a guitar. "Hey, I didn't know you could play", I exclaim as I walk in. He turns with a massive blush and looks at me. "A little", he shrugs. "Play something for me", I whisper as I wrap my arms around him from behind. I can tell his hesitant so I cheekily brush my lips past his neck. "Okay", he sighs. I squeal as I sit down in front of him and he starts playing 'Everything has changed' by Taylor Swift and Ed sheeran. "Oh I love this song" I say subconsciously. "Sing with me", he whispers and I start to sing Taylor Swift's part

All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before.
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles and your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel like

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now

Kyle joins in and we sing the chorus together.

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

He starts singing Ed Sheeran's verse and I swear my heart melted... He looks me right in the eyes and sings,

And all my walls stood tall painted blue
And I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies
The beautiful kind, making up for lost time,
Taking flight, making me feel right like

We finish the song singing the chorus together.He starts playing another song by Blink 182 I think but I cut him off leaning up over his guitar and we start to kiss, slowly, It's nice,I've always wanted this since I was a little girl and I feel like everything isfalling into place...
