I still don't feel bad about what happened with Josh and it's been a week. I still haven't told Connor either. I know he's my best friend and he should know but I just can't bring myself to tell him. He would be so mad and do something stupid like try to hurt Josh. I can't let that happen. Maybe it's for the best that he doesn't know right now. To make things worse, I'm going to Josh's house right now. He asked me yesterday at school if I would. It's Saturday now. I just hope Connor doesn't show up.
I finish my make up and put my hair in a bun. I look at myself in the mirror one last time before walking out of my room. I go down stairs and out the door. I get in my car and start driving.
I park at the dollar store down the road from his house. I don't want to park at his house because I don't want anyone to know I'm there. I get out of my car then start walking towards his house.
I knock and the door swings open. There he is, looking great as always, smiling at me. He moves out of the way and lets me in. I walk in and he shuts the door. He leads me to the living room and we sit down on the couch.
"So, why did you want me to come?"
"Well, we can't really get to know each other in class."
"That's true. So you want to get to know me?"
"Yes and I want you to get to me."
"Okay so what do you want to know?"
"Everything."
I let out a sigh then begin," I moved here in middle school from New York because my dad got a new job. I instantly became friends with Connor. I have one little sister named Beth. My favorite color is purple. I'm a huge book worm and I love to write. I'm usually shy at first but it just depends on the person. I like every type of music but rap. I don't drink, the taste makes me want to puke but I do sometimes anyway. I love sweet tea and hate steak. I guess that's all."
He smiles and says,"Interesting."
I laugh and say,"Your turn."
"Okay but don't judge me okay?"
"I won't."
"I've always lived here. I love basketball and helping people. My favorite color is blue. I have one little brother. I always wanted to be an actor and everything about it just made me smile. Then my senior year of high school happened. I started hanging out with the wrong people. I drunk a lot and got high. I never came home and I just fell apart. My grades dropped and I never showed up for school. When I did I was rude and hungover. But I did graduate. I moved away and got help. I went to college and changed. I was going to be an actor but I thought being a high school teacher would be more fun. Oh and I love to paint and draw."
I just stare at him and frown. I knew some of that but I didn't expect him to tell me.
"Katie, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I knew that you got in trouble before you went away but I didn't think you would tell me."
"I wanted you to know."
He leans over and kisses my forehead then my lips. I smile then kiss him back.
Theres a knock on the door and Josh sighs. He gets up and goes to it.I hear mumbling then footsteps. Josh comes back in the room with a blonde headed girl. She's wearing a really short dress that hugs her curves and her boobs are hanging out. Who is she?
"Katie, this is Amy."
I just nod and smile a little.
"Amy, this is one of my students. I was just helping her with her painting."
Amy just rolls her eyes and says," I think it's time for her to go! I missed you so much, Joshy!"
"Yeah, I think it is time for me to go. I'll see you Monday, Mr. Hutcherson."
I get up and storm out the door. I basically run back to my car. I get in and slam the door. I let out a huge sigh and grab my phone. I dial his number and wait.
"Hey, is everything okay?"
"Yeah Connor, everything's fine. Do you want to do something later?"
"Yeah, totally. What do you have in mind?"
"You'll see. I'll let you know what time and where to meet me."
I hang up and smile. This is going to be fun.
