Kate Sage [ON HOLD]

chapter eight

Lauren was suppose to be the first person I told that I like Michael. But she just had to be sick of all days to be coughing and throwing up it was today. Let's just hope I don't act stupid.

Kia and I decided to hang out, talk about kam, 5quad, fan fiction, etc. while we walk to second period. I swear Kia and I are the perfect duo. She loves Myles, I love Kalin, she's a true fan of any fandom, and loves me. What more I ask for!!

-

I almost killed him in this morning because I offered him a snickers. Michael is deathly allergic to any kind of nut. I felt like a terrible  friend but I tried to laugh it off as he did.

" At least you didn't eat it." I said in between chuckles trying to hide my embarrassment.

" It's fine, " he said smiling, " you learn something new everyday I guess."

"Ok cool." I said in relief.

Michael's POV.

Kate was talking to Mr. Jernigan about an assignment or whatever so when the bell rang I was going to help her pack her stuff but I didn't want to be weird. The class we go to is like two steps away. The classes are right in front of each other. After walking up and down the hallway to pass time I realized that. So I ran back to Mr. Jernigan's for her luckily they were still talking so I packed her stuff and handed her backpack to her. She smiled and thanked me.

-

Third period we were literally laughing the whole time just cracking jokes and she drew some really funny pictures of Mr. Smith, our science teacher, and some other teachers. I was dying.

She's so funny

Kate makes me happy

Okay so Kate burps almost every class and it's very unexpected when she does. It's always during a test or just while everyone is silent. Every time she burps Mr. Smith thinks it's me. I have no idea how he thinks it's me she burps like an old man. My voice is still cracking from puberty. He pulled me to the side after class and said he would give me a detention if I burped in his class one more time. Let's just say thanks to Kate I have a Monday morning detention scraping gum off desk.

I really appreciated that.

-

We were sprinting thinking we were going to be late to English but Ms. Shepherd wasn't even at the door. And if that wasn't nice enough she locked the door, it's 30 degrees outside, and it's starting to rain.

Although that pissed me off there were some pretty nice benefits. Kate was snuggled up against my chest for warmth. She wrapped her arms around my torso as everyone eyes turned to us.

K:"Dude I'm so cold" she whispered and giggled squeezing me tighter

D:"Don't worry I got you" as I looked down at her and smiled

After a solid minute of her in my arms she released to go talk to Kia.

-

Kate's POV.

Kia: "I saw you and Michael getting all up on each each other. What's what with that?" she smirked.

K:"We're just friends" I lied

K:"Yeah for now" she winked

Kia: "Whatever Kia think what you want."

I really want to tell someone but I don't know who to tell first. Maybe Kia I'm not sure.

K: " I have to tell you something, I like Michael. He's so cute, and sweet, and tall, uggghhh he's just amazing." I busted out into a soft whisper.

She started jumping up and down rapidly causing Michael to start doing it too asking why she was jumping.

Kia: "You two should date." She yelled

I looked at him. He looked at me, and we winked in unison. Kia started to giggle pushing us closer and closer to each other.

H: "Oh what are y'all talking about I want to know?" She interrupted.

Oh lord I love Hope with all of my heart but she is so annoying sometimes. Gosh.

-

During lunch Wendy was acting really old. I asked if she was okay but she said she would tell me in fifth period. Lunch was fun though I sat by across from Michael while making goggly eyes at each other. It was hecka cute.

-

then in fifth I asked Wendy why she didn't talk at lunch. Come to find out she likes David.

David is pretty...boring if you ask me. He's obnoxious, selfish, rude, and some other stuff but I don't talk like that. At least not out loud. The absolute worst thing about him is probably his uncontrollable temper. He's just too much for me to handle.

Wendy thinks Lauren likes Michael. I bursted into laughter as those words came out of her mouth. I'm mean yeah they hang out but it's a love-hate relationship between those two. Half the time they hate one another anyway. She tried to convince me that her statement was true but I just kept giggling. It was just so unrealistic.

K: "I promise you she DOES NOT like him" I spoke emphasizing the DOES NOT

K: " I do" I mumbled.

Let's pray she didn't hear that.

W: "Sure, okay, I still ship them."

K: "Don't go tell people that dude. Lauren will like beat you up or something." I joked

-

I left Algebra relieved. As I wiped the fake sweat on my forehead with the side of my index finger.

(Hope you enjoyed dudes. Love you guys. ❤️)
