Say You Like Me

Chapter 8: We're Friends

Today has been one of the most exhausting days ever. The school day felt like it went on forever! I thought to myself as the last bell rung.

"Finally." I mumbled to myself. Walking out of class I noticed that Kylie was walking my way. I really don't want to deal with her right now. Holding my books in my hand I quickly turned around but then I felt an unwelcomed hand on my shoulder turn me around. Now that I was facing Kylie I gave her an eye roll.

"What do you want?"

"All my things back." I forgot that she has let me borrow many clothes, crap!

"Fine, I guess you can come by later to pick them up but don't bring those." I said with a sigh looking behind her to her three little followers. They all gave me dirty looks as soon as their brains figured out I was talking about them.

"Fine." She said the a hair flip walking away. Who does she think she is? Walking home I saw Ash, Brock, Jared, Blake, Chad, and Hayden they were a little bit ahead of me just messing around with each other doing crazy brother stuff I guess. It was kind of cute seeing Ash laugh like that looking really happy. Walking into my house my mom was sitting on the couch with her phone to her ear. She was obviously crying, her mascara was all over her face.

"Hey mom." I said awkwardly setting down my books and my bag.

"Oh hi sweetie." wiping her face and hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

"Um I just got off the phone with a lawyer about the divorce."

"Oh, already? That was fast." I knew they were going to get a divorce but not this fast. I was hoping that dad would come to his senses and come home to us.

"You're father called and said he is ready to talk to you." I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head. I so mad with him! How could he just leave my mom and I like this! Was it my fault? I mean I did blow up on him and didn't come home to say goodbye before he left.

"I...I don't want to talk to him." I stuttered.

"I know you don't but he wants to explain somethings to you."

"There's nothing to explain mom! He left us for another women! He left his family!" I said grabbing some water and going upstairs. I felt my eyes water but I quickly blinked them away, I placed my water on my bedside table and crawled on my bed welcomed by all my blankets. I covered my self with the blankets grabbing my pillows to hug.

My life is going downhill every time I blinked. My dad left and so did Kylie! She left me as a friend! I can't believe she did that! We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. As for my dad, he makes me sick!

Moving the covers off of me I saw Ash's shirts, I really should give them back to him. Or maybe I should keep them, I mean they are good pj shirts right?

I heard a loud knock on the front door and ran downstairs to see who it was.

"I'll get it!" I screamed to my mom. I wouldn't want her to open the door to Ash. that would be awkward. Swinging the door open, there stood an annoyed Kylie. I totally forgot she was coming over. Let the awkwardness begin....yay.

"I'm here to get my things." She said with an attitude.

"Come in." I said with a sigh.

I walked upstairs with her following me. Going to my closet I picked out things that were Kylie's as quickly as I could placing them into a plastic bag.

"So this is it uh?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Yup." She said popping the 'p'.
There was an awkward silence for a second until I finally spoke up.
