Let it Burn

Chapter 2: The begining of a friendship

~ I've decided to start writing again. So I'm going back and editing all my chapters. Happy reading~

Dear diary,

This is so stupid, what do they think there gonna get out if this anyway? I just feel like a lunatic talking to myself, but formalizing it in some form of letter. Which is pathetic. If he were here he wouldn't stand for this. But if he were here, I guess I wouldn't be talking to a councilor...

-Kat

"Kat, it's okay. You can let it out, you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not afraid" I mumble, so soft I don't even think dr. Margolia heard. "And I didn't think anyone was gonna read this, you said 'no one else has to read it, not if you don't want them too' you liar!"

"Would it make you feel more comfortable if I didn't read it Kat?"

"No. I don't care. If you do read it your just gonna be disappointed"

"Kat it's okay to let your emotions out while your writing, that's part of the reason your doing this, you won't look weak" he try's to reason with me.

"What if i like keeping my feelings to myself? huh?! did you think about that?! No! What if I don't want to let it out? Does that make we weak?!" I practically shouted at the dumbfounded councilor sitting before me. I don't remember when I got up, but I found myself standing. I heard the bell signaling for the next lesson and I stormed out of the room to English. I though Fridays were supposed to be the best day of the week, but this is turning out to be anything but.

We were working on our assignments again today, even though we were supposed to have got all our information already. Which sucks because I'm really not in a talking mood. To my relief however as I take my seat, Jason isn't there. As the rest of the class talks to their partners I take the opportunity to calm myself down and I decide to take a nap. As I lay my head flat on my desk, and start to feel myself drifting off I hear a loud bang against the classroom door. 'There goes my nap' I think as I reluctantly open my eyes to see none other than Jason strolling into the room with a bloody nose and what seams to be a ripped bit of red cloth pressed against it. I think the fabric was originally a white tee-shirt. He sits down beside me and I give him a blunt look, not knowing if I should ask him if he's okay, or just ignore the fact he looks like he's in pain. I don't even know what kind of relationship I have with him. We've only really know each other for a day. Is it even my place? This is why I don't talk to people anymore. Their just to complicated, and I'm not very good at it. I don't care anymore.

"Before you say anything, or judge me I'd just like you to know it wasn't my fault". He states, gesturing to his nose. His comment through me off guard a little bit.

"If it wasn't your fault then who's was it?" I ask, curiosity taking the better of me.

"Okay well it started at lunch..." Jason began before I cut him off

"Lunch! It's sixth period! How the heck could it if been lunch?!"

"Well I was in the principals office dah! Anyway, so it started off at the end of lunch, I was just walking around, when I saw this guy and girl, it didn't look like they were friends, but they didn't seam to hate each other either, anyway. They were just talking and then he kissed her. I saw her pull away but he just grabbed her head, and kissed making it so she couldn't pull away, and I could tell she wanted to. So I pushed him off her, like any half decent person would and he went off his rocket, and the poor girl had no idea what to do. And then he took a swing at me, which I ducked, but he almost hit the girl, so I pushed her away. Then a crowd started forming and one thing let to another. Next thing you know a few of my buddies are pulling me off him and my nose is bleeding. It's not broken, at least I don't think it is. He didn't hit hard enough for that. Anyway I had to go to the principles office and fill out some stupid report. I came here straight from principle Turner herself."

"You what?!" I shriek, earning a few odd looks from my classmates, not that they weren't already looking at us. I mean Jason- the most popular guy in the entire school just walked in with a bleeding nose. "You haven't been to sick bay? Your nose is all bloody and looks really painful!"

"Well I.. I just.. ididntwantyoutobebyyoursslf" he mumbles, resulting in me asking him to repeat what he just said. "I said that I though I should come here, seeing as its not that bad, and you must be board since we're doing our assignment again". I was about to ask him how he knew we were doing our assignment, but I though better of it.

"Well then mr hero, should we start?" I ask, trying to lighten the mood, to which he just smirks.

"Sure. Well start with your speech" he begins with a huge grin "hows this sound? 'I was lucky enough to be paired with none other than the famous blue eyed, blond hair beauty know as Jason 'heart throb' Smith. At an extraordinary height of 6"1, combined with his strong muscles, and six pack, Jason is easily the most handsome male to walk this earth, let alone our school'." We both burst out laughing, causing our classmates to turn to us yet again. It's not that what he said wasn't the truth, he is extremely handsome. And he dose have strong muscles. Not to mention his piercing blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. "Oh and be sure to mention my eight pack" he says as he winks at me. Which just creeps me out. I don't know what it is about winks, but they just make me feel awkward and uncomfortable. "What don't believe me!?" He asks, mock shocked "I can prove it to you if you like" I give him a stunned look before I reply.

"I think I can write about you myself, how about we just get to know each other a bit better?"

"Why don't we go to the movies? Tonight? We can grab some dinner beforehand?" He suggests and I have to think "not like a date, or anything, just as friends. We're friends right?" He adds. I slowly nod my head and receive a huge grin in return.

"Great! I'll pick you up at six? Oh wait I don't know where you live! Give me your phone and all add my number. That way you can just text me your address." A bit taken aback by everything he just told me I hand him my green iPhone 5c. Wow I can't believe I'm friends with Jason fricken Smith and I have his number!

The bell starts to ring signaling the end of the day, and the beginning of the weekend. Jason finishes putting in his number as we get up to leave for the weekend, and we start to walk out of the school together. As we get to the front gates he hands me back my iPhone, says goodbye, and I begin my walk home with a new found excitement with the knowledge that ill be going out tonight. I guess Fridays aren't so bad after all!
