Life Just Keeps Getting Better (A Nerd Romance)

Chapter 28

Kelly's P.O.V

Word of Lexi's death spreads around school like wildfire. I'm currently sitting in American History class trying not to fall asleep when Violet, the principals messenger comes into our class. 'The principal would like to see Kelly Adams and Patrick Manning' She announces and the whole class turns to look at me. I sigh, getting my books and heading up to the office. Patrick throws me a confused look and I just shrug. We knock and the principal opens the door. Inside, sitting down in a chair is a very frail man with greying hair and pale skin. His eyes are puffy and very red. 'Kelly, Patrick I think you already know this man. This man is Feargal Mayhem, Lexi's father. You were called here because as you know poor Lexi died a few days ago. According to Feargal you two were her closest friends. He would like you to write the eulogy for Lexi's funeral' The principal says. There must be a mistake. In no way was I Lexi's friend. We barely knew each other. I knew one thing for sure. She despised me. I wasn't that fond of her either. She hated me because I went on one date with Patrick. One awful date. I dumped Patrick. She still thought we were going out but she never seem to get it that we went on one date. We weren't even dating. Anyway, Feargal is looking at us, smiling weakly. 'I know my Lexi is happy up with her mother' He whispers, fresh tears forming in his bloodshot eyes. 'That's all Patrick and Kelly. You may return to class' The principal says. We leave. The bell rings for lunch. I grab a slice of pizza and sit down at our table. A million and one questions are flown at me but I only answer a few of them, keeping my head down and chewing. Luke notices there is something wrong. He stands up and starts walking away, dragging me with him. He leads me to an empty classroom. I collapse on one of the chairs, sighing. 'Tell me whats wrong' He says, sitting on the desk, looking at me. Tears start dribbling down my cheeks. 'It's my fault' I whispered, choking back a sob. 'What is?' He asked me. Tears were dripping down from my eyes. 'Lexi's death. If I hadn't gone out on that date with Patrick she wouldn't have gone so crazy. She wouldn't have gone after Patrick and died. She's dead and it's all my fault' I cry, my head down, shoulders shaking. Luke drags me into his arms. 'It's not your fault, she was crazy. Rumour has it, she went to Patrick's house in a wedding dress and when he said he wouldn't marry her she jumped off his roof. It probably had nothing to do with you. So what he broke up with her and you went on one date with him. Just one date. She obviously couldn't get over it. Kelly, I won't let you think you're responsible. Kelly, in no way are you responsible. Okay?' He says and I nod. 'Thank you' I say and he leans in, pressing his lips against mine softly. I pull apart. I smile at him and leave, taking deep breaths. Patrick comes running up to me. 'Listen Kelly, how about you come to my house tonight and we can write the eulogy?' He asks. I sigh. 'Fine' I say because there is no way I can get out of this. He grins. 'Great, Pick you up at your locker' He says and walks away. I lean against the wall. When will my life get easier?.
