The Unforgettable

Pt. 5

~CHAPTER 5~

I woke up 7 am, all cold and not wanting to go to school at all. Hopefully the second day of school will be a lot better than the first. I force myself up, took a 15 minute shower and did my morning routine. When I was done, I left the house and waited for my bus to arrive. When it finally came, there were exactly 2 seats available that were across from each other and both were occupied by a boy in each seat. That's practically the worst part of being the last stop to be picked up.

Then I realized, one was Kyle and the other was Austin. Crap. I'm gonna have to choose where to sit. I really didn't want to make this whole bus ride really uncomfortable so I chose not to sit with Austin. But that doesn't mean sitting with Kyle isn't awkward. It's slightly less awkward. I think.

"Can I sit here?" I ask him

"Yeah go ahead," he smiles politely.

"Thanks. Sorry, there weren't any seats left so,"

"Other than that seat?" he points to where Austin is siting.

"Well, I think this is a better option," I whisper.

"Oh let me guess. It's either you just really wanna sit with me or that's your ex boyfriend," he whispers back

"I'll go with the ex boyfriend one" we both laugh. "About yesterday, I didn't mean to cry in front of you. That must've been really weird,"

"No worries, I liked it," My eyes widen and I gave him a confused look "No um I liked it meaning I like making people feel better,"

"Oh true. Okay. Thanks for that," I smile at him.

"Anytime."

--------------------------------------------

When we got off the bus, I managed to find my way to class perfectly fine, considering it's only my second day here at Monte Cristo High. While waiting outside the classroom, Austin and I stood across from each other, casually glancing back and forth. I'm gonna have to sit with him all period.. oh and for the rest of the semester.

After the longest hour and a half of my life, I have to go to my next class and I get to see Heather. I have the worst schedue of history. I'm already looking forward to next semester. Second period went by so slow I almost fell asleep during the lesson.

During class, I overheard Heather talking to her friends and I couldn't help but notice she couldn't get her eyes off Kyle.

Before class ended, I lean over to Kyle and he leans forward to hear what I have to say.

"Hey, um I know we just met but can I ask you for advice? If it's not too weird or anything,"

"Um sure, I guess. What is it?" The lunch bell rang "Oh, wanna just talk about it over lunch?"

"Yeah why not,"

"I'll meet you in the caf, I just gotta go back to my locker."

"Okay."

By the time Kyle has left the class, Heather stops in front of me.

"Oh using Kyle as a rebound, I see,"

"Just leave me alone ok?"

"Does Austin know he's wheeling you? Or is it the other way around?"

"It's not any of his business and certainly not yours too," I couldn't hold it in anymore "And I know you and Austin never dated so you can stop pretending."

"I was never pretending? Plus, he kissed me. I just enjoyed the moment. You probably just can't accept the fact that when you two were dating, he liked me. Not you."

"I don't care, I never cared about him. He's just another number to me anyway. He meant nothing to me," I lied. He was my everything. "You guys can kiss each other all you want for all I care."

"Wow. Would you have the guts to tell him that yourself?" She points behind me

I turn around and I see Austin. Stunned with watery eyes. I've never seen him look hurt that much before. My heart is pounding. I can't seem to breathe. I wish I never said that. I wish he never heard that. I wish he knew I was just lieing.

"Aust-" he cuts me off

"No. I heard everything you said. It's good to know that I just wasted my time on you. You're just like every girl in this town. A slut." He walked away.
