"Movies yes? Or no?" i look back, seeing cholie walk up with nick, dylan and kate. "Depends, are you bringing a random date?" cholie tends to bring a random guy from school with us every time any of us go somewhere. Wether its the movies; or even just going to the coffee shop down the street. She claims that its because she feel like since Dylan and Kate started dating. And that they're always kissing. Nick and i just talk like brother and sister. She feels left out.

"No im not, i actually found nick a date." i turn from my locker; everyone just stares in complete shock. Nick said it before. Dating really wasnt his thing. Hed gone on a couple dates before. But none of them ever end well. "You did what?" he asked. "I got you a date. Do i have to spell it out for you?" cholie said. Rolling her brown eyes. I slowly reach into my locker. Grabbing my "all time low" folder and smacking her in the arm.

I turn around putting the folder away. "ow what did you do that for?" cholie asked. "Thinking. And doing of getting jason a date." i laugh. Nicely putting the folder on the top shelf in my locker. I pull my bag. From the small hook in the back of my locker. "He needs to get out." i roll my eyes, throwing the old bag over my shoulder.

"Im fine getting my own date Thanks." nick said, leaning against the locker next to mine. I reach into my locker to get my skateboard. "You need to get a date though; you cant stay single forever like alexa." cholie said. "Like alexa?" i say turning around. I actually like being single. I dont have to have the stress of looking good everyday or worrying about the relationship.

"Im just saying. Youve been single for how long?" cholie shrugged. Crossing her arms. I shut my locker and open my mouth to say something. But no words seem to come. "Excuse me? I need to get to my locker." i turn to see said that. It was luke and kylie. Joy. We move out of the way and cholie begins again. "You were saying?" i sigh annoyed with her. "Who cares about how long ago my last relationship was?" i say holding my board in front of me.

"Well i do." cholie said. "Well i dont. Cholie i love you but seriously. please. Stay out of my love life." i say. Cholie raised her hands in defeat. "Are we still on for the movies?" dylan asked. I shrug. "I dont know anymore." i say. Leaning against the lockers. "This is why you only have us as friends. Your a party pooper asshole!" cholie snapped storming off.

We walked outside. "Someones on their period." nick mumbled. I slapped his arm. "Just be glad she left. And im the one that slapped you." i laugh. I push the door open. Slamming into ut with my back. Walking past a crowd of people waiting for their parents to pick them up. Or talking to thier friends.

I set my board down, stepping it or pushing off. Maneuver around people before turning on to my street. I tuck a couple strands behind my ear. My phone began to ring from my back pocket. I pull it out and answer it without looking at the name. "Hello?" i stop in front of the park and begin to walk so i can pay attention to the call. "Alexa, I-I need to talk to you." i roll my eyes "just talk to your girlfriend luke" i say. I wasnt in to mood to be bothered by him.

Im pretty sure cholie is mad at me bt the way she stormed off. "I really need to talk to you. Please alexa. J-Just meet us at our old place. Its important." i shake my head as my house comes into view. "Why should i?" i ask. I hear him sigh on the other line. "Wait. How the hell did you get my number?" i clearly remember changing it and telling my mum and dad not to tell luke.

I walk into my droveway. "I stole my mums phone." i grab my board and hold it in my left hand. Walking into the house. "Luke im not going. Okay? Honestly, that place still holds a lot of memories id rather not visit." i sigh. "Alexandra. I just wanna explain what happened that night." luke said. Saying my full name. I begin to gat mad. "Really? After two years? Are you kidding me?" i say.

I pull out my keys and open up my front door. My mum works until seven so i have to use my key. Lately she's been working late. Probably because of the promotion she got three weeks ago. "It was complicated then" i roll my eyes putting my keys away.

"I wouldve Understood if you told me it was complicated. But instead you said nothing. Talked about me behind my back. And i used to think that you cared luke. Maybe the eleven years of baing best friends mightve said something but i guess it didnt. I dont know nor want to know what was going on or why you said that but you dont know how that felt. I pause.

"You can say youve been hurt before by a friend or a relationship, but its not the same. Having someone youve known most of youve known most of your life tell someone with hesitation that if their parents wernt close enough. That you wouldnt even be friends in the first place. When what happens. Call me up and only then you can explain that night."

Before lukw can speak. I hang up the phone. Putting it into my bag. I slam the door shut. I lock the door resting my skateboard on the wall next to the door. I toss my bag onto the couch before walking into the kitchen. I open the cabinet grabbing a glass cup from the top shelf. And filling it with water. I turn against the counter. Taking a long sip of. Before sighing.

I set the cup onto the island and push myself off the counter and begin walking into the living room. My phone buzzed from my bag. I roll my eyes before digging through the bag to get the phone. I look at the text message glowing on my screen.

Just one word. From Luke.

Sorry.
