Right next door { Carl Gallagher}

11

Friday

I woke up and did my morning routine. And got dressed (picture)

Then I went down stairs. I saw my mom.

"Hey honey" she said.

"Hi? What are you doing up this early?" I asked.

"I got called in, sorry I am not going to be home tonight" she said.

Like usually

"It's whatever I have plans anyway." I said walking away .

"And what is that?" She asked.

"The Gallaghers are having a party and they invited me" I said.

"O ok" she said.

"Well bye" I said and walked door the door.

Ugh it like she likes her job better than her own daughter sometimes.

"Hey guys" I said to Debbie and Carl.

"Hey you ready to go" Debbie said.

"Yea" I said and we started to walk.

We made it to the school and guess who came up to us.

Holly.

"Hey debs" she said.

"Hey holly" Debbie said.

Then she turns to Carl.

"Hey Carl" she said it like I am not here or anything.

"Umm hi" he said. "Well I am going to find my friends, see you in class Dylan" he said and walked away.

"Oh, holly I forgot. We're having a party tonight. You wanna come " Debbie said.

Debbie got to be kidding me right?

"Is Carl going to be there ?" She asked.

"Yea, he kinda lives there" Debbie said laughing.

Then she turns to me and looks me in the eyes " then yes" she walked off smiling.

Why does she thinks I have a thing with him????
But anyways I went into class.

Skipping to math.

"Hey" came from Kyle in the hallway.

"Hey" I said back walking.

"So u going to the Gallagher party tonight" he asked.

"How do you know about that" I asked.

"Debbie invited me and my friends" he said.

"Oh, cool and yea" I said.

"Great" he said smiling.

"Kyle Ian needed in the office" the loud speaker said.

"Well that's me" he said.

"What did you do" I asked.

"I have no idea" he said.

"Ok then go, but txt me" I said smiling. He smiled back and left.

Lunch

"Hey guys" I said to the lunch table with Debbie, Derek, Carl and Zoey.

They said hey back.

"Hey for the party do you hav-" Carl got interrupted by Kyle come up to me.

"Hey Dylan" Kyle said.

"Oh hey" I said back

"I was wanted to talk about our date" he said.

"O yea" I said.

"Well is Saturday good like at 7" he asked.

"Yea that good" I said back.

"Good, we'll see you later" he said and left.

I just smile. I turned back to Carl and he was making a face.

"What?" I asked him.

"A date with him?? Are you kidding me" he said.

"What are you talking about" I said.

Debbie cut in " him and Carl have history, they are enemys" she said.

"Ok? How was I suppose to know" I said. "He really nice to me"

"He is just going to use you" Carl said.

"You don't know that" I said.

"Yes I do, if you wanna be stupid about it. Then fine I don't give a shit about it!" He said in a mad tone and got up and walked out of the cafeteria.

I was speechless.

I looked at Debbie.

"Don't worry he will get over it" said Debbie.

I couldn't take that chance. I ran out of the caf to look for him.

I walked in the hallway for a little bit, but I couldn't find him anywhere.

"Carl" I called out.

Nothing happen. Then I saw him sitting a bench in the schools garden outside.

I open the door and sat right by him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just that your my friend and I don't want to see you get hurt or change cause ur perfect the way you are" he said not even looking at me.

"I understand and it's fine. But what do you mean change ?" I asked.

"You will change. Everyone who dates him they change and try to be perfect for him. It's like they are his pet." He said.

"Carl, it's me we are talking. I don't change for anyone" I said.

He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. Then he grabbed me and hugged me.

"Ring" the bell went.

"Well we have to get to class" I said.

"Yea we do" he said guiding me in the school.

"See you next period" and then I walked off the art.

Art

"Hey" I heard and looked up and saw it was Kyle"

"Oh hey" I said back.

" may I sit here" he asked.

"Yea" I said. Then he sat down.

And we just sat there doing art and talking. I felt wrong talking to him because of Carl but at the same time I don't. Like how was I suppose to know they didn't like each other.

Like Kyle, he likes me and he really sweet. I am not just throw him away. But I don't understand why Carl freaked out about?
