Chapter 15: Realization (Kodi)

That morning I slapped Jen hard. It was just that emotions piled up inside me, and well, Jen was the first competitor to help me release all of that. It was selfish of me, I understood – but she stole away my boyfriend when she knew that I was suffering from our break up. Oh right. Ex-boyfriend. But seriously. Carlos seemed so calm telling me about his love life after our hot sex; of course I got mad at him and told him to go out of my house. I probably didn’t give him time to explain himself but oh well. I rummaged through my backpack in search for my house keys; I felt the grip of the cold metal as I shoved it inside, and twisted it around allowing myself to freely enter the cold, empty and lonely apartment. Well that sucks – not only did I found out some gloomy news yesterday, but also today I will be all alone. Guessing parents working extra time. I sigh, and lower my school bag next to the closed entrance door. My posture was crooked as I grouchily motioned towards my room that was also filled with unpleasant loneliness. I moaned in displease as I lay on my bed still in my outdoor clothes. Deep thoughts come across my mind. I haven’t watched Supernatural in a while. Oh wait. It was only about 2 days. I miss those two loving brothers. I hope they are having a better time than me. Of course they are Kodi. They are famous, and you’re a single, depressive, playtoy. Random thoughts pop in my mind, about food and about life. And suddenly, I realized I kind of feel guilty for slapping Jen earlier today. Logically, Carlos was single – he had the full rights to date anyone he wanted to. Clearly, Jen just gave up to her feelings right? I’d have to apologize then. Guess it’s time for some Christmas shopping.

Noises of people putting and taking items out and back on the shelves, and the scanning of products rung in the background. My seaweed green eyes skimmed through the contents of the sections. The convenience store was packed with people – I mean why wouldn’t it? Not only today is Christmas Eve, but tomorrow’s the time to give most of the presents. I looked down at my basket that was occupied with four items; one was the game Heavy Rain for Thea, the other was a music box for Eva, another was a laptop case for Mela and last but not least; a high class letter set for Ann. So she can write letter to France the old fashion way. I was being extremely indecisive with Rae’s gift, so in the end I just bought a few ingredients to bake her cookies; cookies for Rae and Jen.

On my way home, I tried to walk as fast as possible, as, not only it was dark and I hated walking alone in the dark, but also for the fact that if I walked any slower, my blood would freeze and I’d die. The plastic bag I held strong grip of, ruffled beneath me as my eyes scanned my path. However, not only did they scan the path, but they scanned an extremely familiar silhouette that was concealed in the shadows away from all the festive lights. It was Carlos. Although, his arms were wrapped around another individual’s waist. I seriously couldn’t make out who it was, so I slowly approached them in curiosity and mumbled. “Carlos?” Both of their heads turn. Carlos’ eyes glisten as he speaks in excitement. “Kodi. Kodi, meet Jen.” He says pointing to the girl to his right. But as she revealed herself to the light I finally realized who it was. It was a male individual that happily leaned his head over Carlos’ shoulder.
