I woke up the next day dreading the fact I'm going to see Kyle today, I almost stayed up night trying to find a way to apologies to Kyle, when I woke up I saw that I had about 20 texts from Emily. That made my stomach lunch when I thought about Emily. She wasn't to found of him, after she found out about everything she got somewhat protective and in her mind, both Kyle and Alex were some sort of threat to our relationship. I went to my texts and started reading them.
Emily: Johnnie? wernt you coming to my house later?
Emily: Johnnie were are you????
Emily: Johnnie why arent you answering me?
Emily: Johnnie???? were are you????
Texts like that kept going and going, I didn't even remember telling her I was going to her house I scrolled through our texts, and sure enough I have told her that I was going to her house. I sighed and went to my contacts and called her.
"Johnnie? where have you been? I kept texting you but you never answered, I thought you would be at Kyle's or Alex's house but neither of then knew were you were."
I sighed, she was being over dramatic with this whole thing, it's not like I went missing for days or anything.
"yeah, sorry about that I had a lot to do and fell asleep the second I got home, so I didn't see your texts." It wasn't a complete lie, even though I wasn't busy I was too tired to deal with her. Plus I couldn't tell her I didn't go see her because I was trying to find a way to apologies to Kyle, now could I?
"Okay, can you come to my house today?" She said, her voice quickly becoming cheerful.
"I'll see if I can"
"Okay I'll see you when you get to school then." she said before handing up.
Redundantly, I got ready for school and walked out to the bus stop. When I got to the corner I saw there was someone else there waiting there, I was a little surprised since I was the only one who would wait here, I brushed it off he was probably just a transfer i smiled at him and put in my headphones while I waited for the bus to get here. I was still extremely nervous about apologizing to Kyle, well at this point it wasn't even that. There was no doubt Alex would find out, and Emily would probably get even more clingy, and hate Alex and Kyle even more then she already, also this might just make Kyle more pissed, no he probably won't he'll either feel better or just brush it off, I just need him to know that I'm sorry and that I know I was being an asshole about the whole thing.
The bus pulled up and I would have probably missed it if the other kid nudged my arm to get my attention I took a deep breath to try to calm myself down and walked onto the bus sitting down in the first empty seat I could find. The whole ride to school was stressful, I couldn't stop thinking of everything that could go wrong, it didn't even occur to me when i was going to talk to Kyle, there was no doubt Emily was going to be around me all day, and if she saw me trying to talk to Kyle or Alex she would never leave me alone.
When we got to school i let everybody go in front of me before I for i got off. I walked slower then usual, knowing Emily would be waiting for me at my locker so we can walk to homeroom together. While I was walking I couldn't help but to look around for Kyle or Alex, or anybody really, just to give me an excuse to get to my locker any time later. Unfortunately, there was no one I could talk to so i had to go there on time, and sure enough Emily was standing there waiting for me. She looked up from her phone and gave me a warm smile and started talking about anything she could think off while I got my things. We both slowly started walking to homeroom while I continued to listen to her.
It felt nice not to be worrying about everything. I think that's why I like Emily so much; she was always relaxed and happy, and she always seemed to make other people happy and stress free like her, not to mention she was a sweet girl in general, even if she would get jealous easily it wasn't to bad after all, it wasn't her fault for having trust issues. She continued to talk until we sat down and, I opened my notebook to go over my noted before I had to go to English. The whole time i could tell Alex was starring at me, she was probably still pissed at me, I still didn't blame her; she probably had to comfort Kyle before giving me and angry look , even of I couldn't see her. At this point I couldn't concentrate on what I was trying to read, I looked behind me, and sure enough Alex was sitting next to Kyle with a pissed off expression on her face while Kyle had his head down on the table they shared.
I looked back at my noted and took a deep breath. I felt bad for them Kyle looked so tired, i wonder how long it's been since he slept properly; not to mention Alex looked extremely tired herself, there was no denying that she had bags under her eyes, but of course she would hide it, she probably felt like she had to help Kyle as much as she could. Alex and Kyle had known each other for a long time and she ended up treating him like a little brother so she would always get extremely protective over him; that was just another reason why I didn't get mad at her the night she come to my house just to yell at me. The bell finally rang and I got up quickly, trying not to look at them. It worked until we were in the hall and Alex grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the crowd of students. She looked at me and I automatically knew she was waiting for an explanation.
"I know what I did was a stupid thing to do, okay I'm sorry."
"If your going to say sorry to someone it shouldn't be me." she said bitterly
"Look, I know okay? I was planning to do that today-"
"Well it better be a good apology because you really pissed him off." she said, cutting me off. "You knew there was something wrong with him, and instead of talking to him you ran away with your little girlfriend." She said before storming off. Slowly, I turned around and walked off to my next class. God dammit how badly did I screw up?
