We Meet Again [Kendall Schmidt Love Story]

Chapter 9

Right now, we're watching a movie. Kendall and I decided to catch up earlier after that talk. Even though everyone's enjyoing the movie, I'm not. But I have no clue why! Why do I feel this kind of pain in my stomach? At first I thought it was a stomach ache, but it's obviously not. It's a mental problem, rather than a physical one. It's in my emotions. Even thougn I should be fine, I seem to not enjoy myself. It's like the insecurities are killing me and eating me alive! This feeling is just horrible. 

"I'm not really interested in this movie. I'm just gonna go. I'll be in the back lounge if you guys ened anything," I mumble as they all nod. 

With that, I walk out of the living room/kitchen and walk inside the back lounge. We've all decided where to sleep in the bunks. The boys go to their original bunks, and Aleena and I take the last two, leaving Dustin to sleep in the back lounge. We're not selfish! Dustin, himself offered to sleep in the back lounge. He told us he once accidentally fell asleep on the couch because it was just too comfortable. We laighed at it, but he was obviously serious. So we let him. 

I take my laptop from my bunk. Once I get it, I walk back to the back lounge and look through my computer folders. There, I see a folder entitles 'HIGH SCHOOL PICS'. This catches my attention, so I clikc on it. As I go through thr photos, I see many pictures that include Aleena, Kendall, and me when we were high schoolers. We've all enjoyed ourselves so much. Kendall and I treated each other like siblings, as well as him and Aleena. But it was all broken on Senior Year. And I hate to know that it's true. 

I see a photo that shows Kendall and me. Aleena has captured this moment when she snuck up on us. Kendall and I were having a talk, and she suddenly popped up with a camera and took the picture. In the photo, Kendall and I had our mouths open from surprise and shock, so that's what made the photo funny. This was taken on Sophomore Year. I look closely at the photo, and there, I see Kendall's eyes shining. As corny as it sounds, it's true. Either it's from the flash of the camera, or if it really was shining. But if it actually did, it obviously showed that he liked me. How did I not notice this earlier?! Suddenly, Aleena walks inside. 

"I told the guys I needed to talk to you," Aleena mumbles.

"And so?" I ask.

"I came to apologize, okay?" she replies.

"Aplogize for what?" I ask cruiously. 

"For forcing you and Kendall to work out. I know it's not my love life, but I only did it because I saw how guilty you were. And when you're guilty, you always have that determination to make things right, so the guilt would go away. But you obviously knew that it would be impossible to do because Kendall's famous and around the world. You knew you couldn't just Direct Message him on Twitter because you have to talk to him about 'it' in person. So that's why I did what I did, and I'm sincerely sorry!" Aleena says, nearly crying. "Please don't hate me."

"I obviously don't hate you, Aleena. And I understand you were only trying to look out for me," I smile. "I accept your apology."

"Aww thanks!" Aleena grins and hugs me. 

I hug back, and we walk back over to the living room. Still, I'm not interested in watching the movie because I've already watched this, and so has Aleena. But she's still enjoying it because Logan;s here. It's not my love life either, but Aleena and Logan just have to start dating sometime soon. See the way Aleena and Logan look at each other. That's what you'd call 'true love'. But no one can decide right away. I mean, they just met a few days ago.

I wake up from a nap I took in my bunk. Yawning, I jump off my bed and hear someobody on top of me. Quietly, I look up to see Jame sin hiis bunk while using his phone. He's too busy on his phone, he doesn't notice me looking at him. So, I open the curtains of the bunk next to his and jump to climb on. Then, he finally notices me, and he smiles.
