(9) In Which A Girl Needs Fun

Keyisha POV

It's been two and a half weeks since the dance incident. Two and a half weeks of not talking to each other. Two and a half weeks of no communication, eye contact, or even a smile. And possibly two and a half weeks for a person to get over someone?

I'm worried that the whole incident was my fault. Like I should have made sure it was him or something but then again how did Antonio know that i was supped to go somewhere with Michael or why didnt i recognize that it wasn't him. I honestly feel that Sade has been keeping tabs on me for a while, knew what was gonna happen and I guess I happened to just not know. Sade is working with Antonio to help Antonio get me but really I think that was too far. Making then dress alike and whatnot but how could I have really been stupid. Maybe this is all my fault.

I have been giving Michael the space that he needs to relax and I'm respecting that. But I've also noticed that Michael and Antonio arent talking as much as they used to and that they are pretty much avoiding each other now especially in TA. It hurts knowing that the reason they are not friends is because me and Antonio shared a unintentional  kiss (from my side) but I feel that they are so close that they should be able to get passed this. But truth being me and Michael were never dating. I know that we both liked each other and meant a lot to each other but we never clarified on our relationship.

Antonio still looks at me and smiles with a lot of hurt appearing in his eyes but he still keeps his distance just incase Michael appears out of nowhere. While Michael on the other hand gives Antonio death glares and doesn't even bother looking at me. I've seen him glance and just stare a few times from the corner of my eye but when I turn he turns away. I have tried approuching him but when I'm close enough and he turns I completly chicken out and just turn the other way. I know that we are close but i don't want to do anything that will push him away further.

It's third period and I have a study period for my class so I made my way to the library when I'm pulled to the side into a dark closet. The light switch flicks on and reveals the person that pulled me in, Michael. I smile at him and begin approuching him when I notice there is no smile on his face and began stepping back.

He breaks the silenc, "We need to talk."

I nod in understanding but before he makes his sentance I speak first, "First let me talk,"

He nodded and I continued, "Okay I know your mad about what happened and I get that. I'm so sorry that it happened that way and I swear I was going to tell you about it but Antonio said he would tell you first. But whatever that's not the point, you and Antonio should still be friend's and be able to get past this. I know I meant a lot to you considering how much you said it but all I want is for you to forgive Antonio & I. I know I was stupid for not realizing it wasn't you but I am truly sorry." I was suprised I allowed that all to flow out in one breath.

He sighed, "I know you are sorry and that you never meant for it to happen. I know that I should just be able to get over this and move on but I can't. I'm not mad at you it's more just Antonio for pulling that kind of stunt. But for now I think we should end us and just move on a bit with our lives."

I could feel the tears pricking at the rim of my eyes, but I quickly responded, "Um yeah sure, no problem." I tried giving off an assuring smile and quickly walked out.

My head was down and I crashed into a hard chest with my second step. I fell back words and just layed there for a moment. Soon a body was hovering over me and was checking if I was alright. My eyes were blurred with tears that I manged to allow not to fall. Soon my eyes cleared up as I was being helped up. And of course it had to be Antonio.
