You're a Mess *In Editing*

Chapter 8

I found out Rae did get chosen for the town meeting tonight. I'm so proud of her. I'm still upset that she ended things but whatever. I had a feeling she ended it because he had feelings for a guy she'd been spending a lot of time with. Mateo.

I hated the guy and his older brother, Rafael, kept threatening me and I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. And by threatening me, I mean every time he sees me with Rae its always something like, "If you touch her I'll kick your ass." He was trying to protect her from me and I understood why. I don't exactly have the best reputation. But I thought Raf was cool. I don't know. Maybe Rae was more trouble than she was worth. No, she wasn't she was amazing.

I get to kiss her for the last time today. I needed that closure. It is going to be a great kiss. I got ready for tonight kind of dressing up because the chose me to introduce her. I wasn't complaining but why me for a town meeting. Whatever though, I'm just excited to see Rae.

Before I knew it, it was seven o'clock. Time to get to the middle school. All of the town events were held at the middle school because they had the better gym. When I got there I saw Rae sitting with Mateo, which pissed me off but I wasn't going to say anything because she wasn't mine. No feelings. Mind over matter just like she said. I went to sit on her other side.

"What do you want?" She asked belligerently. She always does this around her friends. It's like she was embarrassed to be with me. I mean she probably was. One, look at me. Two, as I've said before I have a really shitty reputation. I just hated how hostile she was towards me when there were other people around.

"Um, I just wanted to tell you I'm introducing you tonight," I smiled making up an excuse on why I sat next to her.

"Cool man," she said almost flatly.

"Oh, Michael," I saw my best friend walk by so I stood without saying goodbye. She probably wouldn't miss me much anyway she has Mateo. "What are you doing tonight after this," I asked hoping he said nothing so we could smoke together.

"I'm gonna hang out with Annalise bro," he said winking.

"Okay cool. Tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah man. I'll be there," Michael said quickly. He continued walking to his destination.

I decided to take a walk around the school because I couldn't be in a room with Mateo and Rae anymore. I knew the school like the back of my hand considering I spent three years of my life here. It was awful I don't think I could come back here. We had no freedom.

"Caspian," I heard my name whisper-yelled. I turned and there was Rae standing there.

"What?" I asked as she walked over.

"What's wrong?" She asked. I decided to tell her the truth,

"I'm jealous okay? I don't like seeing you with other people."

"I'm sorry, Caspian."

"It's fine. Can I kiss you?"

"Yeah but just this one last time," she said making sure I knew this was final. I just leaned down to kiss her. We kissed for a few seconds before she pulled away. I pouted trying to get her to kiss me more. She just turned and walked away.

When I got back to the gym she wasn't there. A few minutes later she walked back in with Mateo. She probably just went to get food up in the cafeteria with him. It's not a big deal. You have no right to be jealous.

I had just finished introducing Rae. She walked on to the makeshift stage smiling. She did amazing.

It's Wednesday bitches. Guess what I'm not late! But I do start school tomorrow (gross) so I might be late just because I'm constantly busy. I'l try my best though. 

Why do you think Rae ran away?? There is some cool stuff coming up you'll probably hate me though. Also after I have completely published this story I am going to do some HEAVY editing to develop characters more because this is high key real shitty but I WILL DO BETTER!

Thanks for reading

I love you my little munchkins <3
