Forever

Chapter 12

What am I gonna do about Kyle? I mean, he likes me! But do I like him? Ugh I don't know. I think I do... but it just feels forced. Why am I even going through this? I mean, really, if I liked him, I wouldn't have had to figured it out.. I should've just known it. I guess I don't like him. Oh but he's kinda sweet. He trusts me. He really wants me. Oh my god this is so confusing! If I need to decide whether or not I like him, I probably don't. Case closed.

My phone starts to ring.

Whoever that is, they're obviously not in this generation. Nobody CALLS people anymore... what the heck.

"Hello?"

"Hey!" A voice says in excitement.

"Who is this?"

"Like you don't know."

"Umm,"

"It's Kyle!"

"Right.. of course" I say under my breath. "So why'd you call?"

"I'm bored."

"Are you serious, Kyle?!"

He doesn't respond.

"Kyle??"

He hung up on me... What just happened?

I try to call him back again but he doesn't pick up. My curiosity gets the best of me so I decide to pay him a visit.. yes.. in person. I find his address on the school website, and head over to his house.

I ring his doorbell as I slowly start to regret this action.

"Oh.. Valentina!"

"Hi, Kyle."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to ask why you called me, told me you were bored, hung up, and didn't answer any of my other calls."

"Oh yeah, that. Sorry, my phone died. I guess I should've told you once I could use it again."

"Oh Kyle come on! I thought this was something serious. I came all the way to your house just to find out that your phone died!?"

"Gosh. Sorry. Well I feel really bad, why don't you come in?"

"K" I say as I enter his apartment.

"Oh my gosh, your apartment is so nice!"

"Ha thanks.."

We both make our way to a large but cozy couch and sit down.

"Did you want anything?" He asks me politely.

"No I'm alright. Thanks though."

"Ok. Well hey, now that you're here I though this might be a good time to discuss what happened at school.."

"Yeah.. that. Why'd you kiss me!"

"Ugh I don't know! Sometimes I feel something and I just go for it - why'd you kiss me back anyway!?"

"Well, sometimes I feel something and I just go for it."

He smiles and laughs a bit as his eyes squint a little making me feel a little insecure.

"Well I guess we have something in common, huh?"

"Uh.. Well I mean I was just saying that 'cause you did and uh."

He cuts me off.

"So you didn't want to kiss me."

"No I didn't say that. I mean, yeah I wanted to kiss you, that's why I did it."
