(4) In Which They Can't Take It

Keyisha POV

BBRRIIINNGGG!

Finally the lunch bell I'm tired of second period as sadly none of my friends are in this class with me. sigh. But whatever I'm used to it and I pass this class with flying colors anyways.

"Ugh there you are!" Julliana grunted at me.

"Um what? Am I missing something important?" I asked sorta scared but put a smile on my face.

"Actually there is."

Oh No

"We.." she said pointing to herself, Sadé and Kaylie. "would like to know why you have been so distant lately."

Wow that's a shocker. She never cares if I'm distant from her. Should I mention it?

Not yet, wait till they mention it first.

"Hey guys!" Katerina said while skipping her way towards us. Honestly I never see her walk but she does do ballet so I guess she always 'practicing'.

"Katerina!" I said thanking The Lord for her appearance to add some pressure off of me.

"Katerina, would you say that I'm being distant?"

Julliana cut in, "Hey you can't ask her that, she's not concerned WE are asking."

I sighed, "Well if you really want to know I don't know what you guys are talking about."

"Really Keyisha Peace Perez?" Ugh she's using my full name I can't dodge now.

"Yes really. I text you guys like everyday and we sit at lunch together. We hang out and do whatever we want. What do you mean I'm being distant?'

She scoffed, "Really? Every time we hang out you on your phone texting like crazy. No matter where ever we are you are texting."

Sadé cut it, "It's like we aren't there to you. Like who could be so important?"

Uh oh they brought it up. I looked at Katerina, she gave me a slight nod.

I opened my mouth to speak then all of a sudden, DING. Seriously my phone had to go off now.

I took it out of my pocket without making eye contact with any of them. I sly smile slipped onto my face.

'Hey Beautiful' obviously it was him 'you looked shocked or something with your friends, what's up?'

Omg he's watching me or maybe he just saw me or something.

My gaze slowly lifted up meeting the three faces again.

"Ugh there you go again practically zoning out on us!" Sadé practically yelled at me.

Its time.

I slowly whispered, "Im talking to Michael Lewis."

"WHAT?!" they practically screamed making me flinch a little.

DING.

I looked at my phone screen since I couldn't look at their faces.

'Seriously what's up? We can here you guys from like down the hall.'

I mentally groaned.

"Guys be quiet, there are other people you know."

"How can we be quiet when your texting that weirdo that's 'apparently' popular!?"

Ugh he's not that weird.

"He's not weird!" I yelled back.

DING

fuck I might as well reply.

"Can we talk about this later when you guys aren't yelling at me?"

Without waiting for an answer I started texting and walking.

'Meet me by the bathrooms ill tell you.'

'K babe see you soon.'

Oh yeah did I forget to mention he started calling me babe. Wait, I think I did.

I turned to see all their shocked faces looking at me so I began speed walking. Except for Katerina, she obviously knew who I was going to meet up with. She just smiled while shaking her head.

I went down a small hallway and turned the corner. Umph.

"Sorry babe, you okay?"

Thank God it was just him.

"Not really."

"Hey, what happened?"

I might as well tell him.

"Well my friends started saying I was being distant which I'm not cuz I still hangout with them and text them and all that. Then when I asked Katerina they were like .you can't ask her ' and whatnot and I honestly think it's cuz I have a lot of classes with her. They got frustrated over how I'm always texting."

Im surprised I was able to say that all in one breath. I looked up and saw him nod to continue.

"Well I told them I've been texting you a lot and they like flipped shit."

He burst, "The fuck is their problem with me? I haven't done shit to them."

"They think your really weird.." I whispered.

"Like they're not?"

I couldn't agree more. My friends and I are no where close to normal. I dont see why they are judging.

"That's what I thought but I guess they think they are more normal then you."

"Do they hate me or something?"

"I don't know, I guess? Seems like they did. It's like a 'big deal' if I talk to you."

He sighed, "Are you gonna stop talking to me?"

I looked up and saw him standing there. There was fear in his eyes of me saying yes while he had his arms crossed against his chest. Ah his muscular chest. Omg I need to stay focused.

"What? Of corse not. Thats what they think."

He nodded.

I added, "You know I like you, why would I stop talking to you?"

"I don't know, just seemed that you always listened to them."

Well that was very true. Im the youngest and the always take ever chance to remind me of it. They control me, make decisions for me and always want me to listen to them but this time I'm not going to.

"That is true but this time I'm not gonna let them choose what's best for me. Your what I choose. Okay?"

"Good, I was scared I was gonna loose you."

Aw he's adorbs. I gave him a peck on the cheek, "Well your not."

He hugged me then we parted ways.

Now I have to face my friends, again.
