My Story- Book 1: High School

Chapter 3- SURPRISE!?!?...

Kayla's Point of View:

After I left Ryan standing in the school parking lot, yelling out my name, I made my way to Streamside. Today was Thursday. My last day. Dad has to DJ tonight at 7 and that got me thinking. Maybe tonight will be a good way to end my last night here. I get to spend it with the job I love and with my unbiological brother, Devon AKA Lemon/CheeseBurger.

10 minutes had passed and I was finally at work. As soon as I walked through the back door to clock in and went down to Brenda's office to tell her about my leave.
The office was down the hall by the pool table and only took 30 seconds to get there from the back door. Once there, I knocked on her office door and walked in to find her setting up the work schedule for next week. Brenda had long blondish grey hair that went to her shoulder blades. She wore glasses, Blue eyes, short and thick set.

Anyways, as I entered the room, I started the conversation of by,

"Hey Brenda, I have a favor to ask,"
She just nodded her head, encouraging me to go on,

"Can we keep me moving away between me and you?"

"Of course but, I don't know why you'd want to do that,"

"I just don't want Devon to freak out about my leave," Brenda just nodded and that was the end of our conversation.

Unknown Point of View:

It was Thursday morning when I got the call from my buddy's step-brother. Jason was his name. I answered,

"Hey man, long time since we last spoke,"

"Hey, yea, it has been," I have no clue why he called so I started suggesting some things to keep the conversation going,

"Wanna hang out? Or something? Watch Wrestling or-" that's when he cut me off,

"Listen. I need you to pick up mine and Lewis's younger sister up in couple months," I was confused,

"Um..., sure. But, why?"

"Because she's coming to stay with us for a while,"

"How old is she?"

"16. Almost 17," Jason said,

"Alright. I'll pick her up. When and where?"

"July 30th."

"Okay."

Kayla's Point of View:

Well, today was an eventful day. Just have to clock out and wait for dad's DJ shift to end so we can go home. For now, I think I'm gonna go bug Devon for a few.

After clocking out, I go to the back, to the dishroom. Where I find Devon finishing up the dishes. I sneak up by saying,

"Hey CheeseBurger," he jumped in shock. As if he were startled. Which, he probably was. He quickly recovered and gave me a relieved smile and said,

"What's up Kiwi?" He gave me that nickname since his is Lemon for me,

"Nodda mucho. Just came to bug you for a few til dad's done DJing,"

"Ah, I see. While you're here, I wanted to see if you'd like to hang out after my shift ends," how could I answer him? Knowing that I'm leaving tomorrow morning before noon. All I could spit out was,

"Sure. But I can't stay out long," I decided I should. Tonight's my last night to hang out with him,

"Of course," he said with a fake smile with a hint of sadness in his eyes. I was going to ask what was wrong but, he beat me to it by saying,

"You know, some others are coming as well,"

"You know, that does sound legitly fun,"

There was a few moments of tense silence til DK walked in saying,

"CheeseBurger, after you're done here, you can clock out. And Kayla, someone out back by the the river is asking for you," that's all he said and walked out. I was left there bewildered because, first of all, it was 10 o'clock at night. Second, no one has ever requested to see me. Devon must've noticed my reaction because, his hand was on my shoulder. Comforting me. He mouthed the words, "Go," I just nodded my head and made my way around the corner and toward the back door. 

When I opened the back door, I turned the flashlight on my phone on to guide me through the dark. I was about 10 feet away from the figure standing by the river side. I started to panic because the figure belonged to my boyfriend. Ryan, I thought, how did he find me here? I've been gone all day. As if sensing my presence, he turned around and sprinted towards me. I couldn't move. I couldn't say anything. I was in complete shock.

Ryan's Point of View: 

When I saw Kayla, I couldn't hold back any longer. I ran toward my girlfriend who was frozen on the spot. When I got to her, I enveloped her into my arms in a tight embrace, and kissed her lips gently for a few seconds then her temple. And rested my head against her shoulder, and let silent tears role down my face that I've been holding in since this morning. 

"Why did you tell me?" I asked with concern and sadness. I pulled my head up so I could look into her eyes. When I did, I saw tear threatening to spill. I then, grabbed her arms and pulled her towards me, putting her head against my chest. After a few moments, she finally spoke, 

"H-ha-how did you find me here?" her voice was shaky and raspy, I guess my voice is probably the same aswell. I always hated seeing Kayla hurt, I just held onto her and said, 

"After I got your letter, after you left, I drove everywhere to find you. To your favorite places, to your hideout, to your house, and finally, here, "

"Why? I didn't want to see you right now. I didn't want to see you like this. I didn't want you to see ME like this. I wish this coulda been under different circumstances," After the first part, she mumbled the rest,

"Because, I had to see you one last time before you leave," She then backed away and looked down and looked like she was about to say something til someone by the name Devon came out the back door calling for Kayla. 

"Kayla," she turned her head in his direction and answered, 

"Yes Devon,"

"Get in here. Your dad needs to talk to you,"

"Oh, okay. Thanks," She turned her head back towards me with an apologetic look on her face and said, "you know, you could come if you wanted." I just smiled at her and said,

"Sounds like a plan." and winked at her.
