Infuriating Encounter

Edited 9/27/13

"Em, wait up!" Through the stuffy, voice filed hallway I could barely hear my name shouted just barely above the noise. I spun around to see my best friend, Kasey, running towards me. Well, she was trying to run. It wasn't all that easy to run through the crowd of people swarming the halls at out high school. Plus her three inch heels weren't doing her any favors.

The expression on her face was priceless. It was somewhere between fear and frustration, "Get out of my way people! Can't you see I'm trying to get somewhere?" She yelled, slapping a random freshmen on the back. I frowned at that, freshmen get picked on enough.

"There all going somewhere too!" I told her as she, finally, reached me at my locker. Her usually tame, red hair was slightly frazzled, making me wonder just how far she had run to catch up with me. It was either that, or she had just been fooling around with some boy in the janitors closet.

The second was most likely.

"Screw them." She muttered, glaring at everyone one who passed by. One Sophomore girl flinched when she made eye contact with my friend, ducking out of the way and hurrying along before any physical damage could be inflicted upon her. I chuckled. That's one of the reasons why I love Kasey, she always makes me laugh.

"So what do you need?" I asked, wondering what had been such an emergency before. She had seemed in a huge hurry.

Kasey gave me a blank look, and then shrugged, "Oh ya know, nothing special." This came off as such a casual comment that it took me a minute to process what she had just said. And when it hit me, I sighed.

"Really?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at her, "You slapped the poor kid on the back for 'nothing special?'" I promise Kasey really is a good person, just sometimes ditsy and, well there really is no other way to put it, inconsiderate.

"You know my reasons are nothing special!" She yelled in defense, "But you love me anyway!" At that point she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and started jumping up and down. This was a usual occurrence with Kasey, she liked taking her excitement out on other people. Often, it resulted in injury.

"If I say I do will you let go of me?!" I exclaimed, trying not to drop my heavy Chemistry test book that was clutched in my arms on my foot. It would've been painful, and I needed my feet to effectively be able to do necessary things like walk. People we're staring at us, which was just another motivation for me to get Kasey off my back.

"Yup" She said, popping the "p." Annoyingly, she sounded happy. She was enjoying this far to much.

I huffed, "Fine, I love you, Kasey." And just like that, her arms were gone from my body. She let me go from her bouncy hug and smiled her crooked smile at me. Whenever she smiles the left side of her lips dips slightly, creating a cute, but sometimes creepy lopsidedness about her face.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, obviously she remembered something that she had needed to tell me. "So I wanted to tell you that.." I tensed, waiting for the second half of a sentence that never came.

"Well?" I asked, opening my locker and setting my books inside. "You can't just start a statement and not finish it, Kase!"

"I was pausing for effect Em, gosh. Way to ruin it." She leaned against the lockers, frowning at my inability to grasp her way of communicating with human beings. Honestly, she was the strange one, not me.

"Build a bridge and get over it. Now are you going to freaking tell me or not?" I asked, beginning to loose my patience. Despite myself I was curious what her news was. I didn't get much 'news' from this girl, and when I did, it was big.
