You Are My Always

10 Unexpected

"Kayla Thomson!" The drill team captain announced as she engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. She whispered, "You did amazing." I smiled at her and returned the hug.

I was so happy that I made captain it was a huge honor and I'm just glad they chose me. Of course I had everything else on my mind, but I should be thanking Jacob and James. They made me feel real sadness and I used what I felt in the dance. In the end of it all I didn't really care what they had to say and I got what I have been trying so hard to accomplish. Then why did it feel like I won and lost at the same time

I heard a loud scream come from the door when a shouting figure ran up to me. "You did it!" Cira repeated several times while doing her "dance" as she calls it. I on the other hand would beg to differ.

The newspaper for the school took my picture along with the other officers. Soon everyone would know that I made captain and I didn't know how they were going to respond to it. "Kayla would you mind saying what you did in the dance to accomplish getting captain?" The newspaper interviewer asked

I knew the answer right when she asked it. "I left it all on the floor, no regrets."

The next day I went into school and everyone was reading the latest copy of the newspaper. Well that was until I walked in. Everything went silent not a single pin drop was heard. Then I saw James start clapping. I looked at him as if he was crazy. But then Liam joined in and soon the whole school was clapping for me. I looked all around me just in case they were clapping for someone else. All that did was a few snickers in the crowd. I smiled said Thank you and went to my locker.

"Good job Kayla." Jacob said from behind me

I groaned and shut my locker harshly. "What do you want now." I didn't even bother saying his name it was a waste of time

" Just to say congrats." he smirked and moved closer he put his hand on my waist and moved me closer

"Let go, Jacob." I sneered struggling to get out of his grip

All that did was made him growl and tighten his hands "I love it when you play hard to get."

"Let go of her." Liam towered over Jacob

Jacob immediately let go and pushed me to Liam. "Wait until I tell James what you did." Jacob laughed

"Go ahead, he would love to hear that his best friend just saved Kayla from you." he shrugged

Jacob didn't say anything, he just turned and left. "Thanks, Liam."

"No problem, I just wanted to also say sorry for everything." he told me seriously

"It's fine." I shook my head understandingly

Liam was James BESTFRIEND no matter what happened Liam always saw the best in James. Believe it or not Liam and I used to also be good friends it would always be James, Liam and I.

"So do you?" Liam said snapping me out of my thoughts

Uh I had no idea what he said. "What sorry could you repeat that?" I said

He chuckled, "Do you want to hangout with James and I? I know you guys aren't on the best of terms but you just have to understand that James is dealing with a lot right now."

"Um," I hesitated, "Sure, why not." I said shrugging

"Great! 5:00p.m at James house." He said enthusiastically
