Chapter 15:
(Kerri's POV)
The next couple of days are silent, completely quiet and super awkward.
Lucas no long attempted to pick me up, I hadn't seen him since the incident at my house with Grey. He hadn't been at school and he never picked me up for school, so I got my mom to take me.I knew Grey wouldn't be at school, he told me he wasn't going to be there, but I still hoped he would have been there on Friday.
I cried my eyes out that Wednesday night. After Grey had left I couldn't bear the thought of losing Lucas over something so stupid. That Wednesday was one of the worst days of my life and I never want to have to endure that again.
Walking down the long corridor towards my last class of the day I catch the sight of a black jacket and a black set of converse on a dark haired guy. But when I tapped on his shoulder in hopes of it being Grey, I was crushed to find out that it wasn't.
The guy looked at me weirdly and I ran off, embarrassed clearly.
I don't think that Lucas will ever forgive me. I've always had his side on everything and I had always trust him and he trusted me, and I so simply and easily traded his trust for Grey's.
My heart felt like bursting into flames and I wish it would. The pain of burning would be less hurtful than the hurt of heartbreak.
I step into my last period and I am greeted by an unhappy Math teacher," you do understand that you are ten minutes late, right?"
I nod and look away," I'm sorry."
He lets me into the classroom without another word and I am grateful that he didn't further interrogate me.
The class drags on and I begin to grow more nervous by the minute.
I really wish Lucas knew about the party. If he did he would have gone ballistic even more. But if I never try to trust Grey then I will have never known if it would work out, even if we turn out to just be friends.
The bell rings and makes my stomach churn uneasily.
I escape the class without a single problem and then I get to the hallway.
I am greeted by a very unhappy looking Principal Donald."Hello there Kerri, would you happen to know where Grey has been these past few days. I received notification that you two got a little friendly in the library and I would like to speak with him about a few arrangements about his times."
I shake my head no," sir that was a misunderstanding, in no way, shape, form or fashion would I even take an interest in him. There's no need in changing times. It makes the job a lot easier with someone splitting the work with you."
He thinks hard about my suggestion and eventually replies," well alright. If you see him tell him that he needs to return to school."
I nod and scurry away before he can say any more.
I don't know what I'm going to do without Lucas. I have no one to help me with my clothes and no one to help me with my make up. I am not an expert at make up nor the trends of clothing.
I can barely even put up my hair with it looking decent.
I sigh as I open the doors to the car rider loop.
After getting into my mom's car, we go home and thankfully I can rest for about an hour before dreadfully choosing an awful outfit.
"What's wrong?" my mom questioned when she passed my doorway. I was splayed across my bed with my eyes closed, just thinking about the different ways I could embarass myself.
I had told mom yesterday evening about the party with Grey. She said okay and I was relieved at the time, now I wish she would've said no. Although Grey hadn't replied since Wednesday he wouldn't have known until tonight.
"I'm awful at choosing the right stuff to wear and my make up always sucks and I haven't talked to Lucas since Wednesday, he's my only hope."
She laughs," I just talked to him. I told him that you've been so depressed lately and I asked him to come over here because you need help with something. After pleading him to come help you, he finally caved. He's on his way."
I sat straight up, wide eyed and totally shocked. "You did what?" I yelled.
"Well, I knew that you two hadn't talked so I did it for you."
Just then the doorbell rang throughout the house and I glared at her.
"You can't fight forever. He loves you darling," she yelled as I run down the stairs, occasionally catching my foot on a stair or two.
I opened the door to see Lucas standing on the porch with his hands folded in front of him. He held a frown until he saw me then he smiled.
I ran up to him and hugged him tightly," I'm so sorry."
He rubbed my back, god how I missed him. "It's okay. I feel awful for causing such a scene the other day."
I pulled away from him and led him into the house and up to my room.
We sat on the carpet beside my bed. "If I tell you this then you have to stay completely normal."
"Did he get you pregnant?!" he yells, wide eyed.
I smack his arm in attempt to hurt him but it barely effected him.
"No, he didn't get me pregnant you ass!... he asked me to go to a party with him."
His face goes from laughing to a complete straight face.
"Lucas, I never said you couldn't react," I mutter in horror. I didn't want to see his real reaction, but I wanted to know the truth, I want his opinion. He's my best friend and I have always looked up to him for help.
"Well, I'm glad you're trusting him. You said yes right?"
I nod. I cannot quite tell if he meant his enthusiasm and actually cared, but I want to believe that he approves.
"Well, we've got to get you into something nice, we can't just sit around here. Your fairygodmother is gotta get to work!" he smiles, standing up, and pointing to himself.
I reply with a laugh and follow him over to the closet.
Well, the perfect best friends are back together!! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!! -C
