One Last Goodbye

How Awkward

That night I sat, pondering what had happened that day.

The intercom announcement, Lindsey's reaction, hiding in the bathroom, Mike coming to check on me then holding me 'till I was finnished crying.

I didn't know what to make of it all.

All my life I had been doing my very best to stay out of all of the drama shit that goes down at school, yet here I am, the center of attention.

The very last place I wanted to be in a time like this.

I didn't go to school the next day.

My dad didn't care.

It seemed like my brothers were never going back, but about twenty minutes after school let out there was a knock on the front door.

I ran to the door as fast as I could. I had my hopes up that it was Mike but it was just Lindsey.

"Hey...." I said a little bit of disappointment in my voice.

"Hey..." she replied.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Do you even have to ask that question?!?! I mean come on!"

I looked at the floor.

"I'm so sorry, I, I didn't mean to snap at you.... I, I just thought you would have told me... I mean... we're best friends aren't we?"

"Of course we are!! I just, I was in shock."

"Well do you know what shocked me? You'll never guess who asked about you today!!" she sounded really excited.

"Who?" I asked

"Mike Long!!!!!" I just gaped at her. She knew i had a crush on him a long time ago.

Just as I was about to tell her about the night before, the doorbell rang.

"Omg. Cass. Look who it is!!!!!!" She was so excited. I looked out the window and sure enough, there was Mike.

He waved at me from outside so I ran to the door and let him in.

"Hey why weren't you at school?" he asked as he stepped in.

"I slept in to late so I just decided to stay home."

"Oh ok."

Lindsey cleared her throat.

"Oh, whoops, Mike you know my friend Lindsey right?"

"Ya, we met earlier today."

Lins nodded.

"Oh cool." I replied.

"Yup...." Lins said.

Akward silence...

"Well I believe I have overstayed my welcome" Lindsey said after a minute, "so I'm just gonna head out..." and she winked at me as she walked out the door.

I watched her as she got into her car and drove away.

My dad hadn't let me drive since the accident so I was really jelous.

I turned to Mike and said, "Hi.... again....." stupidly of course.

He just laughed and said "Hey"

"Do you wanna walk again?" I asked

"Ya sure" he replied.

I grabbed my jacket and walked out the door.
